Chapter 1138: I Want to Make You Stay (16)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yu Yiwei arrived at the hospital in the afternoon together with Fan Shixin. She initially wanted to bring some food along for Jin Qingyan and An Xiaoning. However, Fan Shixin forbade her from doing so.
Hence, Yu Yiwei hitched a ride from Fan Shixin and made her way to the hospital.
“Young Madam, come outside for a while. I have to talk to you about something.”
All three of them knew that it was just an excuse to send An Xiaoning out of the ward. Jin Qingyan was the only one who was in the dark.
After Fan Shixin and An Xiaoning left, Yu Yiwei stood beside the bed and asked, “Were there any symptoms that occurred before your relapse this time?”
“No, it just happened after I fell asleep. My emotions were rather stable before I went to bed.”
“Well, your illness is irregular to begin with, and the occurrence of relapses is very erratic. Sometimes there will be symptoms and sometimes there won’t be any. It’s not surprising at all. I’ve prescribed some medicine for you that’ll help stabilize your condition as much as possible.” She took out a transparent box from her bag, which contained several different drugs, and explained, “This contains enough doses to last you a week. If you have any qualms, you may send the drugs for a lab test to verify the ingredients. Take them once a day, one pill of each type at a time.”
Jin Qingyan took it from her and said, “Got it.”
Yu Yiwei then proceeded to mention some irrelevant and unnecessary things before An Xiaoning and Fan Shixin entered.
Yu Yiwei was filled with envy after seeing how chummy and affectionate An Xiaoning and Jin Qingyan were with each other. When it was time to go back, she initially planned to hail a taxi. However, Fan Shixin insisted on sending her back.
Yu Yiwei was well aware that he still had his guard up against her and would not allow her to wander around on her own without any bodyguards chaperoning her.
“Mr. Jin and Ms. An get along so well. Why haven’t they reconciled their marriage yet?”
“How would I know what they’re thinking?” Fan Shixin said coldly.
“Chief Fan, has there been any progress in your matchmaking sessions?”
“I was planning to put an end to it, but I forgot to do so because I have been extremely busy lately. I’ll be stopping the registration today.”
“If I were to sign up too, will you pick me, Chief Fan?”
Fan Shixin looked at her in bewilderment and asked, “Why would you ask such a question, Ms. Yu?”
“I’ve already asked it anyway. Aren’t you going to answer me?”
Remaining calm and composed, Fan Shixin said, “You must be kidding, Ms. Yu. You’re out of my league, but since you’ve asked, I shall just tell you truthfully. You and I are obviously incompatible in terms of personalities, so I’m sorry, but I won’t pick you.”
Yu Yiwei pursed her lips and answered, “You’ve never even spent time with me privately before, how would you know that we’re not compatible?”
“Well, sometimes, a man’s intuition can be very accurate too.”
Seeing how blunt and honest he was, she smiled and said, “I was just teasing you, Chief Fan. Don’t take it to heart.”
“That goes without saying.”
Yu Yiwei looked out of the window and remained quiet.
Fan Shixin dropped her off at the entrance and watched her enter the door before heading back to the office.
….
In the evening, Fan Shixin called Jin Qingyan to inform him that the lab test results had shown that the drugs did not contain any abnormal substances and were purely meant to aid him in calming his senses.
Jin Qingyan decided to start consuming the medicine.
“Xiaoning, pour me some water.”
“Alright.” An Xiaoning grabbed his cup and filled half of it with hot water and the remaining half with cold water from the water dispenser.
She handed it to him after testing the temperature.
He grabbed the cup and took a sip, after which he said, “Switch on the television. I want to watch it.”
An Xiaoning proceeded to grab the TV remote, during which he stealthily popped the pills into his mouth and washed them down with some warm water.
Jin Qingyan fell asleep soon after consuming a single dose of the drug as well as the chemical that Bei Qi had given him. Meanwhile, An Xiaoning sat on the bed alone to watch some television.
However, her mind was distracted. Did he think that I wouldn’t know about the medicine just because I didn’t see it?
She was well aware that he had instructed Fan Shixin to send the pills for a lab test.
Although the drugs were tested to be safe, she still did not want him to consume them.
Firstly, it was because the drugs that Yu Yiwei had prescribed had no effects apart from calming his senses. In that case, Bei Qi’s chemicals would be a better option since it did not have any side effects, unlike those that Yu Yiwei had prescribed. Secondly, if Yu Yiwei was attempting to keep his condition in control using the drugs, it would not be feasible at all. What was the point if it was impossible to completely stop Henry from surfacing?
Thirdly, they ought not to be overly eager when it comes to treating psychological orders. Hence, she was still hoping to win the bet against Henry and make him vanish on his own.
Although it’s said that there’s no cure for the disorder, getting Henry to leave out of his own accord was the only way to tackle the root problem.
Although dissociative identity disorder was not the same as the process of a spirit possessing a human, the two were closely similar.
Hence, An Xiaoning had instructed Fan Shixin to replace the drugs with identical-looking placebos that were candy in reality.
Jin Qingyan obviously had no idea about that.
“Boss, that fellow is…” As soon as her ringtone sounded, she hurriedly grabbed her mobile phone to answer the call, for fear that her ringtone would jolt the sound-asleep Jin Qingyan awake, especially since it was hard for him to get some quality sleep.
“Hello.”
“It’s me. Are you asleep yet?” asked Gu Beicheng.
“Not yet, it’s still early. I’m not sleepy.”
“Have you eaten yet?”
“I had a little bit of food. I’m not that hungry.”
“I finally put an end to that matter that had been constantly making me feel troubled. I prepared some liquor and dishes at home. Would you like to come over for a meal?”
“I’ll go if you come and pick me up personally,” said An Xiaoning, staring at Jin Qingyan, who was sleeping.
“Alright, wait for me, Missy.”
She hung up, smiling.
In fact, she felt a little bored after having stayed in the ward every single day.
Gu Beicheng arrived twenty minutes later. After instructing one of the bodyguards to go inside the ward and keep watch, she left for the Gu family mansion together with Gu Beicheng.
Staring at the pouring rain, An Xiaoning said, “It’s been raining consecutively for the past few days.”
“Yeah, it’s the same in B City too. How long more does he have to be hospitalized?” Gu Beicheng asked.
“He still has a long while to go before he can be discharged. It’s only been a little more than a week now. Has everything about Lin Mingyuan come to an end?” An Xiaoning asked.
“Yes, it’s over. I’ve never seen such a thick-skinned and shameless person like Lin Mingyuan’s husband before. However, he coughed up half of the money that he had absconded with. I shall forget it since he’s going to prison too anyway.”
“They’re a couple. Lin Mingyuan was not much better than he is either. She’s way too greedy for her own good. How pathetic. If she had chosen to live a simpler life, things probably wouldn’t have turned out this way. She fell straight from Heaven to Hell and couldn’t take the pain of a setback,” said An Xiaoning.
Smiling, Gu Beicheng said, “No matter what, this matter has finally come to an end. However, what happened to Jin Qingyan? I’ve seen the video that was circulated online a few days ago. I think he’s acting a little abnormally.”
“He was out of sorts and we had a minor tiff. But we’ve made up and everything is alright now. We’re okay.”
“Do feel free to contact me whenever you need help, although you might not really need it.”
“Do you really think I’d stand on ceremony with you in the event that I really need your help? When the time actually comes, you’ll have no choice but to help me. Rest assured,” An Xiaoning said with a smile.
