The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1375

He then addressed the doctors. "Mr. Burton is mentally unstable and delusional. Please begin with some preliminary treatment."

"Of course, Mr. Gardner," the doctors replied with utmost respect. Two of them approached the bed and began securing Karl with restraints.

Karl's face finally changed. "What are you doing?!"

"We're just administering your treatment, Mr. Burton," a doctor said soothingly. "Don't be afraid. It's not life-threatening."

Before Karl could say another word, an electric current shot through his head and coursed through his entire body. He began to convulse uncontrollably, unable to even form words. Two doctors held electroshock devices to his temples. Karl was nearly shocked into unconsciousness, but the doctors were precise, stopping the current the moment he was about to pass out.

After thirty minutes, Karl was a wreck, his eyes rolled back, foam frothing at his mouth, and having lost control of his bodily functions. Though he had been humiliated during the global livestream, he had never experienced anything like this—a complete stripping of his dignity coupled with excruciating physical torment.

Sweat soaked his entire body. Through his blurred vision, he saw Joshua watching him with a meaningful expression. "Karl, Star never harmed you, yet you've always been convinced she was out to get you. Your persecution complex is quite severe. From now on, you can recover here peacefully. Think of this as your new home, and the doctors will treat you like family."
