Elyala’s heart ached. “Hasn’t he been to school?”
“No, he can’t attend normally with his condition.”
“Have you guys tried to delve into his mental world?”
Benjamin shook his head. “No chance.”
“What about hypnosis?”
“Tried it, never worked.”
Elysia sighed softly.
Benjamin continued, “Elijah is not like other kids; he’s too smart for his own good. You can’t treat him like a typical child; he’s bright, sensitive, and highly vigilant.”
Elysia glanced back into the room and thought for a moment before saying, “I get why you’ve called me here, but I’m no doctor. I’ve just picked up a bit of herbal medicine from my folks and read a few books on child psychology in my spare time. So, don’t pin your hopes on me.
I managed to calm Corbin down, but that was pure luck. I can only try. When he wakes up, I’ll chat with him, see if I can find a way into his world, look for a breakthrough.”

Benjamin hurriedly replied, “Yeah, any help is much appreciated. Don’t worry; Tarquin won’t let your assistance go unrewarded. You can set your terms with him; anything you for, he can make happen in Jindale City.”
Elysia wondered if she could ask Tarquin to help her get a speedy divorce?
Wait, Tarquin?
They shared the same name–what a coincidence!
Just as she was about to ask his full name, her phone rang with an unknown number.
Elysia stepped aside to answer, “Hello?”
“You’re looking to divorce Tarquin, aren’t you?”
“Um? How do you know that? Who is this?”
“Who I am doesn’t matter. What matters is Tarquin’s in Jindale City right now. He hasn’t gone on a business trip; he lied to you. If you want to confront him about the divorce, you could catch him at home or at his office.”
The caller hung up before she could respond.
Elysia’s eyes widened in shock. Tarquin wasn’t on a business trip?

She tried to call back immediately but got a message that the number was not available.
Her heart was racing; she didn’t have time to ponder who the caller was and dashed for the elevator.
Benjamin caught up to her. “Ms. Thorne, is something wrong?”
Elysia pressed the elevator button and replied, “I’ve got an urgent matter to attend to.”
“Do you need our help?”
“No, it’s personal.”
“What about Elijah?”
Benjamin was concerned that if Elijah woke up suddenly, they wouldn’t be able to handle. it, and things could escalate. He couldn’t guarantee Elysia would be able to soothe Elijah,” but she was their only hope.
So, he tried to persuade Elysia to stay.
Elysia understood his concern and said, “Take down my cell number, call me if there’s any issue. I have to deal with this emergency; it’s urgent.”
Elysia quickly gave her number. She had a good impression of Benjamin, who had always been polite and respectful.
With a sudden thought, she added, “I’ll send you a recipe for a sedative later. If he wakes. up and you can’t manage, give it to him. It should help.”
“Thank you so much!” Benjamin said gratefully as he saved the number, watching Elysia step into the elevator before letting her go.
After Elysia left, Benjamin returned to Elijah’s room.
