After divorce I am a billionaire

Chapter 1007 Antenatal Depression

Chapter 1007 Antenatal Depression

She took Lyra's wrist, leaned close to Lyra's ear, and whispered pretending to be unintentional,

"Anthony takes away all the communication equipment around me, locks me in the ward, and often

threatens to send the baby away. I…"

Even Lyra, who had experienced all kinds of ups and downs, was shocked to hear it.

"Is Anthony crazy? How could he treat you like this?"

Mavis was already pregnant, but Anthony didn't take good care of her and comfort her, and even

engaged in various behaviors that restricted Mavis's freedom.

If things went on like this, Mavis was prone to psychological problems because she was already

sensitive and fragile during pregnancy.

But Lyra suddenly remembered Anthony who was going to marry her in European Swye, and suddenly

understood his behavior.

Anthony was crazy and paranoid. Because of the misfortune as an illegitimate child in his childhood, he

had always had a dark side in his heart.

After taking back the Callahan family to power these years, he never showed his original paranoid

temperament and hid it well.

Now, it was all exposed on Mavis.

Lyra asked back, "Do you often say in private that you want a divorce and you want to separate?"

Mavis froze for a moment and nodded, "Yes."

Lyra instantly understood. "Anthony has this kind of character. The more people or things he can't

grasp, he will hold on to them at all costs. Even if he uses schemes or coercion, he will spare no effort."

He was afraid that Mavis would leave secretly again, and that he would lose Mavis' love for him.

Plus, Mavis lied to him that the baby wasn't his.

In this case, he may do any extreme behavior.

The reason for this personality defect was that Anthony had childhood trauma, and was bullied badly

by Caitlin when he was a child.

In his eyes, what he wanted must be fought for and snatched by himself. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Lyra knew Anthony well, but she also knew how difficult it was for Mavis to go all the way for him.

Now that Mavis didn't want to entangle with Anthony any more, she wanted to cut off the love and leave

simply, and she can understand it.

"There are quite a few problems and conflicts between the two of you..."

It was tricky, and as a bystander, Lyra can only help so much.

But what she said made Mavis more determined to stay away. "Lyra, the love has long been burned

out. Now I ... really don't love him that much, and I don't have the determination to be with him."

Her heart, already in a year of marriage, was hurt by Anthony and was riddled with holes.

All she wanted was to escape so that Anthony would never find her.

Perhaps this was also the best revenge for Anthony.

She clenched Lyra's hand tightly, and her tone was almost begging. "I'm really sacred of him. I'm

locked up in the ward every day. After giving birth, I have to go back to Callahan Residence with him,

and continue to be Mrs. Callahan in name. There is no hope, really. It's terrible. I have insomnia every

night. I don't know what to do..."

Her voice was choked and broken, and she was on the verge of a desperate collapse.

"Lyra, can you help me? If even you can't rescue me from the cage this time, then I'd rather die in this

cage."

Lyra touched her face distressedly, and soon discovered that there was something wrong with her

psychology.

During pregnancy, her body's hormones and progesterone were too high, it was easy for her to think

wildly, and she was sensitive and suspicious.

In any case, Mavis's subjective wishes must come first.

Anthony's paranoid and coercive behaviors will only push her further and further away.

"Mavis, calm down and don't say that you want to give up your life. After all, you still have a baby. Even

if you don't do it for yourself, you have to do it for the baby."

Lyra helped her wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. "I'll figure it out. Give me some time and let

me... think about it."

...

When Anthony and Malcolm came back from buying cakes, they saw Mavis leaning on Lyra's shoulder,

already tired and fell asleep.

Having not been out for activities for a long time, Mavis was physically overwhelmed and was

extremely tired.

Malcolm was not jealous, which was rare.

Instead, Anthony stepped forward, carefully took Mavis out of Lyra's arms, let her lean into his arms,

and carried her up to the inpatient building.

Lyra and Malcolm followed.

Mavis was placed back on the hospital bed and lay down. After many days of frustration, she was

finally able to sleep peacefully.

They all moved lightly, so as not to disturb her, and Lyra even made some sign language gestures to

Anthony.

[Come out. I have something to tell you.]

Anthony understood her sign language, followed her out of the ward, and Malcolm followed his wife

silently.

It was only when Anthony walked to the empty corridor that he asked, "What do you want to ask?"

Lyra looked dignified and spoke earnestly, "I came here today, and I found that Mavis's mood is not too

high. There is always a hint of melancholy between her brows. She seems to have something in her

heart."

Anthony frowned, "Did she tell you something just now?"

Lyra shook her head without changing her expression. "She didn't say anything, but I was once

pregnant and worried. She can't hide her true emotions from me."

This reason was quite real, so Anthony didn't say much.

Lyra continued, "I think you should ask the doctor to give her a psychological examination, and pay

more attention to taking her out for a walk, and let her meet friends more, so as to make her mood

better. Don't wait for her to really get sick and do any aggressive behavior before you regret it."

Anthony listened to what she said.

"I understand and I will. Rara, rest assured."

Lyra gave him a cold look.

It was because of him that she was worried about it.

Even though there were a lot of critical words in her heart, she didn't say it, but pulled Malcolm away.

"Remember what I said. We will come to see Mavis again in a few days, and I hope to see her smile

happily next time."

Anthony nodded.

The next day, Anthony actually took Mavis for a psychological examination.

He listened to the diagnosis records alone in the doctor's office. The doctor handed him the conclusion

sheet and said, "Sir, your wife has already suffered from prenatal depression. This situation is quite

dangerous, and it is very harmful to her and the baby."

Anthony's heart tightened, and his eyes fell on the medical certificate, which wrote [Severe Antenatal

Depression].

Those words were particularly glaring.

He asked in a heavy tone, "How can this situation be improved? Can she take medicine?"

The doctor shook his head. "She is malnourished during pregnancy, and she will give birth in months. It

is not recommended to take medicine, but to do psychological counseling first. You can take her out for

a walk more often to make her mood better."

"In addition, don't let her stay alone in the room for a long time. She can easily think wildly. It is best to

have someone around her at all times. If you're busy and cannot accompany her at all times, you can

ask her parents , or a very good friend over. Let them stay with her, and share more happy things with

her..."

On the way back to the ward, Anthony kept thinking about the doctor's words.

It was the same as what Lyra said.

Antenatal depression?

Was it caused because he locked her up?

With a complicated look in his blue eyes, he walked back to the ward absently.

As soon as he opened the door of the ward, he saw that the person who should have been sitting on

the bed was standing in front of the table, holding a small fruit knife and gesturing for the position of the

wrist artery.

He was startled and rushed over immediately.

"Mavis!"
