When a person suddenly changes, it is inevitably related to the people and environment they are in contact with. Hamish thought of the video that Elisa presented in court, which only Hattie had. It seemed that the female doctor had not hesitated to come up with ideas and instigate Elisa to divorce him.
After this incident, Hamish had no intention of taking Elisa to Bankshire Hospital anymore, to avoid seeing people he shouldn’t see and getting thoughts he shouldn’t have. Hamish instructed the driver to take them to Shallow Bay, a famous gathering place for millionaires in Bankshire. If he wanted to build a house here, it wasn’t enough to just have money, he also needed a high level of influence.
The land area of thirty thousand square meters, and the house under Hamish’s name only occupied two thousand square meters. It was more like a castle than a villa, with a French palace architectural style and luxurious decorations throughout the castle.
Hamish used to live here all the time. The house had its advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage was that it was too spacious, making it feel cold and devoid of any human touch. After marrying Elisa, he spent more time in North Bankshire than in Shallow Bay, and eventually moved directly to North Bankshire.
Although no one lived in Shallow Bay, it was always maintained and guarded. The gatekeepers were tall and strong bodyguards, fully armed, and cameras were installed everywhere except the bathrooms. There were also many servants inside, including a butler, maids, and chefs, all with clear responsibilities, making the villa well organized.
There was also a dedicated disinfection room in the Shallow Bay villa, equipped with complete medical facilities, so Elisa didn’t need to go to the hospital after being brought here. While in the car, Hamish made a call to the family doctor and then directly sent Elisa to the medical room for examination upon arriving at Shallow Bay.
The examination results showed a mild concussion and a slight fever, but overall, the problem was not serious. After cleaning and dressing the wounds, Elisa was sent to the bedroom to lie down and receive intravenous injections.
Elisa didn’t know when she would wake up. She seemed to be enduring great pain, even with her eyes closed, her eyebrows were furrowed, her eyelashes trembled, and there were tears on her face. Hamish stood by the bed, raised his hand, and wiped away the tears from the corner of her eye, asking himself aloud, “If I tie you to the bed, would you still seek death?”
Taking advantage of Elisa’s unconsciousness, Hamish arranged for someone to tidy up the third floor. Many unnecessary decorations and furniture were removed. An ordinary bedroom now looked like a huge iron cage, with a chain tied inside and a rectangular hole set at a height of ten centimeters, with a movable barrier inside to deliver trays and meals.
The entire space was equipped with cameras that covered every corner, even the areas like the bathroom and shower that involved privacy. The surrounding area of the balcony was transformed with reinforced glass, the only place where one could see the outside.
Hamish knew that Elisa had hidden autism, and if she was kept locked in a dark room without seeing the outside for a long time, she would have a relapse. That’s why he specially set up the balcony like this, so that she could not only see the outside but also the courtyard below.
See, he was still treating her well.
He planned to keep Elisa locked up here in the future, tied to the chain inside the iron cage, long enough to reach the balcony and the bathroom. There would be someone monitoring the surveillance cameras every day. Compared to the possibility of her running away, these measures meant nothing.
If she behaved well, he would lead her outside for a walk, holding the chain. But if she didn’t behave, she would be locked up for a lifetime.
When the renovation was completed here, the servants came in to clean. Looking at the design inside, they thought Hamish was planning to keep pets.
