Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 180

Isabel rolled her eyes, but she was used to Julian's antics. [Julian, I’m asking for your help.]

Julian: [It’s a small thing.]

He needed someone to look after Isabel anyway, he mused. Having someone she liked and trusted, someone genuinely loyal to her, was for the best.

After all, Aurelia City wasn't a safe place.

And he himself was a ticking time bomb.

If it weren't for the need to stay away from Adrian, his grandfather would never have let Isabel marry him.

In his grandfather’s words, it was a case of a beautiful flower being planted in a pile of cow dung. He was the cow dung.

Westbridge.

Back at the hospital, Adrian went directly to find Dr. Lawson.

He questioned him in detail about Oliver's condition.

“I’ve taken him abroad frequently before, and he never had these problems. He ate everything, never threw up, never got sick. Why is it happening here?”

Dr. Lawson was somewhat aware of the Blackwell family’s situation.

He had heard a few things from Mrs. Blackwell.

Dylan had also given him a detailed account of the matters between them.

“It’s like this, Mr. Blackwell,” he said. “While it’s true that children go through rebellious phases and might push away a mother who is stricter in favor of another woman, if the biological mother is deeply involved in their care and shows genuine affection, the child develops a deep-seated reliance on her, even if they don't express it.”

He paused. “As for your question about him being fine abroad, that can be explained. At that time, his reliance on his mother was weaker. You may not have been as involved in his day-to-day care, so you might not have known his exact likes and dislikes. Perhaps what you gave him were things he didn't mind. Plus, being far away from his biological mother lessened his sense of dependency. But back in the country, he subconsciously knows his mother is close by. Combined with the rift that has formed between them, his emotional turmoil is more intense. The stomach is an emotional organ, which in turn affects his eating and can cause him to vomit.”
