After Zhao Jiaqing learned about this method from Yan Shengyu, she was silent for a long time, but finally nodded in agreement. If this was the only way to cure Yan Xi, it would not matter even if her daughter forgot her family from then on. She would let Yan Xi recognize the world again.
However, Douglas did not hypnotize Yan Xi immediately. He said that Yan Xi was not in the best mental state yet, and the hypnosis effect would not be optimal now, so he needed to wait for a while.
Yan Anbang learned that Yan Xi had returned safely on the third day after Yan Xi returned to the capital. He hurried over from Nancheng and was greeted by Yan Xi’s instant madness when she saw him.
When seeing Yan Xi’s appearance, Yan Anbang almost strangled Zhao Jiaqing to death. If Yan Shengyu had not returned in time, Zhao Jiaqing would probably have died in his hands.
“Zhao Jiaqing, my two daughters were ruined in your hands, you vicious woman, get out of here.” Yan Anbang pointed at the door of the ward and roared.
“This matter has nothing to do with my mother. Dad, can you please be reasonable?” Yan Shengyu said.
Yan Anbang glared at him fiercely, “You have no right to speak here!”
“This is a hospital, if you want to make a noise, go outside and make a noise.” The nurse came in to change the dressing and said coldly when she saw the messy ward.
Yan Anbang immediately shut up and waited for the nurse to feed Yan Xi the medicine. Yan Xi soon fell into a deep sleep again.
“Anbang, how is Yan Xi?” Qin Yan was waiting downstairs in the hospital. When she saw Yan Anbang coming out, she hurriedly asked.
Yan Anbang looked tired, “Yan Xi is fine, you go back first.”
Qin Yan looked worried, “But I see you don’t seem to be in a good mood, is something wrong with Yan Xi?”
“Yan Xi is fine, she was just a little frightened. You go back first. It’s getting late. If you don’t go back, your husband will be dissatisfied.”
Qin Yan hesitated for a moment and nodded, “Okay, I’ll go first. If Yan Xi has any problems, call me. I still know some good doctors.”
“Okay.” Yan Anbang nodded, “Drive carefully.”
Qin Yan smiled gently, and before leaving, she did not forget to remind, “You haven’t been able to rest well for many days. Now that Yan Xi is back, you go back and have a good sleep.”
After Qin Yan left, Yan Anbang returned to the ward again, but did not see Zhao Jiaqing. Only Yan Shengyu was there. Yan Anbang did not ask where Zhao Jiaqing had gone. He just sat down and looked at Yan Xi with heartache in his eyes.
He held Yan Xi’s hand in his palm, and vaguely remembered that his daughter used to be very close to him, but since he divorced Zhao Jiaqing, Yan Xi never called him dad again, and she had not even returned to her home in Nancheng once.
He knew that Yan Xi resented him in her heart, resented his divorce from Zhao Jiaqing, and was disappointed in him, but Yan Xi was still his beloved daughter.
“Did the doctor tell you how to treat it?” Yan Anbang asked.
Yan Shengyu repeated the doctor’s words.
“In this case, let her forget it. It is better to let her live a happy life than to live in a muddle-headed state like this. After she recovers, I will send her abroad. If she can avoid coming back, she should try not to come back.” Yan Anbang said. Yan Shengyu nodded. This might be the best solution.
Yan Xi’s condition had been unstable for a while. She would go crazy from time to time, or hide under the bed, shouting “Big sister, save me” and so on.
It was not until half a month later that Yan Xi’s condition stabilized. After Douglas gave her a final examination, he announced that psychological hypnosis would be arranged three days later.
“Go in and see her again.” Shen Qinglan, who had been standing outside the ward but did not go in, said softly.
Shen Qinglan shook her head. “Forget it. I’ll just stand here and take a look at her. After hypnosis, she can embrace a new life.” Fu Hengyi had already returned from the army. Because of this operation, he was temporarily suspended from his post and had to stay at home to write a self-criticism. Now he held Shen Qinglan’s hand, as if to give her strength.
In the ward, Yan Xi hugged her legs, rested her head on her knees, and stared blankly out the window. Zhao Jiaqing sat beside her to accompany her. Yan Shengyu and Yan Anbang did not show up because Yan Xi showed a strong aversion to men other than Douglas. In order to increase the success rate of hypnosis, they waited outside and did not even approach the ward.
It was almost time, Zhao Jiaqing came out, glanced at Shen Qinglan with a cold expression and said, “You go in and see her. When the treatment is over, I will take her abroad, and she probably won’t come back.”
Shen Qinglan was stunned. Although Zhao Jiaqing’s tone was cold, there was still a hint of gratitude in Shen Qinglan’s eyes. She whispered “Thank you” and walked in.
Shen Qinglan sat down next to Yan Xi and reached out to touch her head. Yan Xi turned her head to look at her, but turned back without any expression.
After a period of treatment, Yan Xi’s rejection of women was not as obvious as before. Perhaps it was because Zhao Jiaqing and Shen Qinglan appeared in front of her more often, so she did not have any rejection reaction to their occasional closeness. Douglas said this was a good sign.
“Yan Xi, how are you today?” Shen Qinglan asked gently, even her eyebrows and eyes were gentle.
Yan Xi looked out the window without saying a word. Shen Qinglan followed her gaze and realized that she was looking at a bird on a branch outside the window. The bird was perched on the branch and combing its feathers.
Shen Qinglan watched with her for a while, and she suddenly remembered that the first time she met Yan Xi was on the train to Hangzhou last year. This arrogant girl wanted to change seats with her with money, but she disagreed and kept muttering all the way, and finally followed her after getting off the train.
The second time they met was in a small alley in Hangzhou. She was surrounded by a few hooligans and she rescued her. The girl then looked at her with admiration.
The third time they met, she came to school to look for her brother and ran into Shen Qinglan. From then on, she often stuck to her, calling her “big sister” and “big sister” and chirping around her like a little sparrow.
Scenes from the past came to mind. She had known Yan Xi for less than a year, but she had so many memories about her.
Shen Qinglan leaned over and gently hugged Yan Xi. Yan Xi seemed to feel uneasy and wanted to struggle. But Shen Qinglan patted her back gently, like coaxing a child. Yan Xi gradually calmed down and let Shen Qinglan hold her in her arms.
“Yan Xi, you must take good care of yourself when you go abroad in the future. It’s best to learn some women’s self-defence skills, so that you won’t be afraid of meeting bad people in the future.” Shen Qinglan whispered in Yan Xi’s ear, “Don’t go out alone at night, don’t always eat junk food, and don’t run away from home when you are unhappy. It will make your family worry, okay? Listen to your mother…”
Shen Qinglan talked on and on. She had never been so long-winded before. She knew that even if she said these words, Yan Xi would forget them after the treatment was over, but she still wanted to say them to Yan Xi.
“Yan Xi, I’m sorry that I failed to protect you and caused you to experience so much at such a young age. If you meet me again in the future, you must not recognize me, let alone pay attention to me, understand? It’s better to hate me and turn around and walk away when you see me.”
“Yan Xi, I will make a sincere wish in my heart, may you be happy and free of sadness for the rest of your life.”
Shen Qinglan’s eyes were slightly hot, and warm liquid slid down from the corners of her eyes and dripped onto Yan Xi’s shoulders. Yan Xi reached out and touched it, seemingly not understanding why the clothes on her shoulders were wet.
Shen Qinglan let her go and touched her hair. “Our Yan Xi is the happiest little princess in the world. You will always be so happy. All the nightmares will pass, and the future will only be happy and bright.”
Yan Xi looked at her, and suddenly reached out and touched her eyes. There was a crystal tear on her fingertips. She lowered her head and looked at her fingertips, as if she didn’t understand what was in her hand. She just frowned and looked conflicted.
Douglas walked in, “Ann, it’s almost time.”
Shen Qinglan nodded, stood up and walked out. Before walking out, she took a last look at Yan Xi, and Yan Xi looked up at her, opened her mouth, and said, “Tears…don’t cry.”
Shen Qinglan’s tears burst out instantly, and she leaned in Fu Hengyi’s arms. While Fu Hengyi held her and whispered in her ear.
Eden also walked in, and the door of the ward slowly closed.
