"I...I'm sorry, Auntie. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have come back. I won't say anything."
Aunt Gu gave a cold laugh and said,
"It is indeed your fault. If you had just taken the money and left, none of this would have happened. But what I really want to know is, what did you and Gu Zheng say in the room? Why did Xiao Ran hear it? I now strongly suspect that you did it on purpose."
It has to be said that Aunt Gu unknowingly revealed the truth.
Gu En was startled, but fortunately he was prepared and managed to keep his composure so as not to give himself away.
"Auntie, what are you saying? It has nothing to do with me. I know you hate me, but... but you can't slander me like this..."
Gu Zheng raised his head after hearing his aunt's words, and some things came to mind.
He remembered that when he came back, he went straight to Gu En, but he didn't see Xia Ran.
Then when he came out, he didn't see Xia Ran. If Xia Ran really wanted to find him and ask him clearly, why didn't she just go in and ask him then? Why did she wait until later?
Gu Zheng turned around and looked at Gu En. Gu En was overjoyed, thinking that Gu Zheng was going to speak up for him.
But before Gu Zheng could speak, Wang Bo's anxious and flustered voice rang out.
"Oh no! Oh no! The young master has fainted! Young master, the young master has fainted!"
Wang Bo's words were like a deep-water bomb, causing a huge ripple in Gu Zheng and the others' hearts.
"What happened? Why did the child faint?"
Gu Zheng strode over to Uncle Wang and took the child from Uncle Wang's arms.
Aunt Gu and the others also gathered around, their faces equally grim and worried.
Wang Bo was so anxious that tears streamed down his face as he said...
"Ever since I carried the young master back to his room, he has been crying non-stop. No matter how I tried to comfort him, it was no use. Then, while he was crying, he fainted."
Aunt Gu: "Why are you saying so much? Hurry up and get the child to the hospital!"
It's too late to call a doctor at this point, and even a family doctor wouldn't have the same level of equipment as a hospital. It's more reliable to go to the hospital.
Gu Zheng didn't bother asking any questions at the moment and simply picked up the child and got into the car.
Qin Hao: "I'll drive."
“We’ll both go, Uncle Wang, you stay home and keep an eye on things.”
Aunt Gu pulled Qin Hao's father into the car as well.
Along the way, Qin Hao drove at breakneck speed.
Meanwhile, Xia Ran had also arrived at the hospital, but he still looked dazed and confused, as if he had lost his soul.
Da Zhuang was very anxious, so he quickly paid the fare and got off the bus with Xia Ran.
Xia Ran was like a puppet, letting Da Zhuang take him to the hospital for treatment.
Because of Xia Ran's special condition, a doctor came to see her very quickly.
Dazhuang didn't dare to bother the doctor, and he didn't dare to ask many questions for fear of disturbing the doctor.
However, when he saw that no matter how the doctor spoke to Xia Ran, she remained silent and just stared blankly at the ceiling, he knew that Xia Ran's condition was very bad.
The doctor examined Dazhuang for a while before giving him a look, signaling him to come out with him.
Dazhuang told Xia Ran that he was going out for a bit and then left.
The doctor was already waiting for Dazhuang at the door, and as soon as he saw Dazhuang come out, he immediately asked him something.
"What is your relationship to the patient?"
"I'm his friend, what's wrong, doctor? Is his condition serious? Or is there something wrong with his body? And I noticed he can't walk, what happened to his leg?"
Dazhuang asked several questions at once.
"The patient's condition is very serious." The doctor's expression was also somewhat serious. "To put it simply, his physical injuries are secondary; the most important thing is his psychological state."
"I just noticed that apart from some injuries to his legs and hands, he's physically fine, but he has serious psychological problems. I'm not a professional psychologist, so I don't really understand."
"However, I will have a specialist psychologist from the hospital come over. Until then, I can only treat his physical injuries."
After hearing the doctor's words, Dazhuang's heart sank.
The physical injuries are somewhat better, but what about the psychological injuries?
"Then I'll trouble you, doctor. Please help me find a psychologist as soon as possible, because I'm worried about my friend..."
The doctor nodded. "I understand. I'll go treat his leg injury now. He probably can't walk because of the injury. You should go and get him admitted to the hospital first, otherwise the psychologist will have a lot of questions for you when he comes, and you might not have time then."
Dazhuang nodded and immediately turned around to pay the fees and go to the hospital.
He didn't feel at all that Xia Ran had troubled him; instead, he was glad that he had arrived a little earlier. Otherwise, Xia Ran wouldn't have a single friend here, and what would she do in this situation all by herself?
Chapter 161 Xia Ran's Situation
When Dazhuang returned after paying the bill, there was an extra doctor in the ward.
The doctor looked very young, probably around their age, but was very tall.
Dazhuang couldn't see the doctor's face, so he quickened his pace and went inside.
Hello, may I ask who you are?
As soon as Dazhuang finished speaking, the doctor turned to look at him.
Well, the moment Dazhuang saw this doctor, only two words came to his mind: good-looking!
Seriously, it's rare to see a man this handsome. He has incredibly fair skin and looks very refined with his gold-rimmed glasses.
But for some reason, Dazhuang always felt that the doctor was a bit cold beneath his refined exterior.
Just like the feeling he got from the doctor's eyes, they were cold and indifferent.
“My name is He Xiu, and I am a psychologist at this hospital. I’m here to take over this patient.”
Da Zhuang only came to his senses when he heard He Xiu's voice.
He scratched his head before turning his attention to Xia Ran.
When he went to pay the bill, the doctor had already put a cast on Xia Ran's leg and bandaged her wrist again, which looked quite serious.
"Dr. He, I'd like to ask what's wrong with my friend? He doesn't seem to respond to me anymore."
When Xia Ran's problem was mentioned, Da Zhuang's brows furrowed deeply, his face full of worry.
"Are you friends?" He Xiu suddenly asked.
Dazhuang nodded without hesitation, "Yes, we are best friends, so doctor, what's wrong with him now?"
He Xiu closed the notebook he had been taking notes in and said,
"Go over there and say a few words to him, and see his reaction."
Upon hearing this, Dazhuang responded and immediately sat down on the edge of the bed. He felt extremely distressed looking at Xia Ran lying blankly on the bed.
"Xia Ran, look at me, do you remember me? Do you still recognize me?"
Xia Ran showed no reaction, which made Da Zhuang even more worried. He quickly looked at the doctor and said...
"Doctor, he was still talking when I brought him here, how come he's become like this in less than two hours?"
"Come out with me for a moment." He Xiu glanced at Xia Ran and then turned to walk towards the door.
Dazhuang was a little worried, "Then the doctor, he's all alone here..."
"Don't worry, he'll be fine." The doctor didn't even stop walking.
Hearing this, Da Zhuang could only turn around and follow the doctor out.
When did the patient become like this? What happened before that?
He Xiu's expression was very serious, and seeing He Xiu's appearance, Da Zhuang felt even more uneasy.
"I'm not entirely sure what happened. We had agreed that I would come over in the evening, but I came early because I wanted to surprise him."
"But when I called him to tell him I had arrived, he picked up the phone and asked me to come pick him up. His tone was deliberately pained, almost like he was growling."
"And also..." Da Zhuang told him everything he knew, "Anyway, when I went to him, he still recognized me, and then he kept asking me to take him away."
After listening to Dazhuang's words, He Xiu, who was taking notes, raised his head and said,
"That's all? When you went there, was anyone present? Or was there anything that could have caused him to break down?"
Upon hearing this, Da Zhuang immediately remembered.
"Yes, there were some other people there at the time, but I don't know what their relationship was with Xia Ran. Xia Ran wouldn't let them get close, and it seemed like she would have an emotional breakdown if they got close."
"Even when they told me to let them know if anything happened to Xia Ran, she refused and kept saying no."
"What about those people? I think I understand now, but I need to find out more about them."
He Xiu closed the medical record book and then looked at Da Zhuang.
Da Zhuang's face turned somewhat grim. "I don't have their contact information, but I know where they are. However, Xia Ran won't let them get close. Does she really have to let them know? Can't she just not let them?"
Although Dazhuang didn't know what had happened to Xia Ran, he could tell from Xia Ran's resistant attitude that they must have bullied her.
He Xiu glanced at Da Zhuang, whose face had instantly changed color, before speaking.
“I’ll try, but you have to wait outside and don’t let anyone in to disturb you. Also, tell me the names of everyone who was there at the time.”
Dazhuang nodded quickly, "I understand, thank you, doctor. That person's name is Gu Zheng."
Upon hearing the name Gu Zheng, He Xiu's expression changed slightly, but he quickly nodded and turned to enter the ward.
In the ward, Xia Ran was still in the same position they had left in. He Xiu closed the door and sat on the stool by the bed.
“I also know Gu Zheng,” He Xiu said casually, his eyes fixed on Xia Ran’s face.
Sure enough, when he mentioned the name Gu Zheng, Xia Ran's eyes changed, becoming filled with pain.
"Don't get agitated. Many people's suffering has a source. If Gu Zheng hurt you, then you should cheer up and show him, instead of acting like a living dead person like this. Doing so will only make those who don't want you to be happy even happier."
Upon hearing the doctor's words, Xia Ran stopped staring blankly at the ceiling with her eyes open and instead closed her eyes tightly, gripping the bed sheet tightly with her uninjured hand.
This is a phenomenon of resistance.
He Xiu pushed up his glasses again and said a few more words.
