Paul had been communicating with Edgar for the past few days, urging him to pay extra attention to Vivian's situation.
Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, he could tell that Paul was genuinely concerned something might be wrong with Vivian.
He couldn't help but recall the incident from a while ago when Vivian's friend had been drugged.
Edgar had always felt that something was off about the situation, and he suspected that it might have been Vivian who was targeted.
Fortunately, Vivian seemed to be fine. Edgar was lost in thought as he descended the stairs.
Vivian joined him a few minutes later, but during dinner, she was unusually quiet, clearly lost in her thoughts.
Her conversation with Edgar was distracted and detached. After Vivian finished her meal and went back upstairs, Edgar quickly called Paul.
"Tell me everything. Have you noticed anything unusual about Vivian recently?" he asked.
Paul didn't answer right away. Instead, he asked, "Has Vivian been acting unusually these past few days?"
Edgar responded, "I've been paying close attention. She's been absent-minded. It doesn't seem like it's due to her studies. It's almost as if something's bothering her."
Paul sighed deeply. "To be honest, I also suspected someone was bothering her, so I had people investigate her situation. We found nothing. There are many people who like her at school, but she mostly spends time in the lab.
"When she does go out, it's usually with her roommates, college friends, or sometimes people from the Sullivan family. So, after ruling out all those possibilities, I consulted a therapist. They believed that the incident with Mr. Martin and Mrs. Martin had caused her a lot of emotional trauma.
