Chapter 1190

Ashton's call came in.

"Fiona, I checked the footage you asked for," she said quietly. "How did this happen?"

"What did you see?" Fiona's throat felt dry.

"There was an accident, but the view was blocked by trees. I did find the person who hurt Darwin," Ashton added.

Fiona had called Ashton while waiting for Darwin outside the bathroom.

Ashton immediately had someone look into it.

Darwin had hidden his injury from Fiona but not from Kenny, so Ashton knew too.

When she contacted the person involved, they said, "What child? There was no child. That man just suddenly rushed out and scared me."

Fiona sighed. "Ashton, Darwin's condition is worse than we thought. It's not just PTSD; he's created two personalities. One is the bad part he separated, and the other is 'Rex.'"

Ashton was stunned.

"He knows the other self is fake but doesn't realize Rex isn't real either," Fiona said, choking up.

"Don't worry. I'll be back in Bay City tomorrow!" Ashton said quickly. "We'll handle this together. It's just an illness, right? We'll treat it! Remember the great psychologist we found for Patricia? We'll go to him!"

"No!" Fiona said quickly. "This has to stay confidential. I don't know Hubert's background well, and we've only known him a short time."

"That's not a problem. The Rhoads Family has medical resources, and Kenny does too. Worst case, there's still Alexander!" Ashton said. "Don't be afraid. You've faced life-and-death challenges together; this is nothing!"

"Okay." Fiona covered her face, still sobbing.

Ashton felt sorry for her.

She thought her own life was tough, but it was nothing compared to Fiona's. After so much, Fiona finally managed to live happily with Darwin and their two children, but Darwin's illness shattered their happiness.

Ashton didn't say more.

After hanging up, she called Kenny. "Something happened in Bay City. We need to tell your mom and head back early."

Kenny saw the serious look on Ashton's face. Without asking, he said, "Got it. I'll tell my mom now. Don't worry."

"Okay!" Ashton nodded.

Melissa had just woken up, lying in her little bed, drooling and sucking her fingers.

Upon hearing from Kenny that something had happened in Bay City, Scarlet quickly arranged for their return.

"You've been here a few days. If you have things to do, go ahead," Scarlet said gently. "Make sure to take good care of Ashton and Melissa, ensuring they eat well and sleep well."

"Got it." Kenny nodded.

They didn't wait until the next day.

That night, Kenny, Ashton, and Melissa returned to Bay City.

After ending the call with Ashton, Fiona started searching for top experts on Darwin's condition.

This field was weak domestically. Most good psychologists were abroad, and the leading figure was Hubert's institute. His father was an excellent psychologist, and his mother was an authority. Hubert inherited the institute from his parents.

Fiona frowned.

Just as Fiona picked up her phone to have someone investigate Hubert's background, Burl's video call came in.
