"Ms. Yuan, don't ask her any questions now. Her mental trauma has not healed yet. She needs to be quiet now." Dr. Stephen called Mingzhu aside and said in English.
"I think her mood is too unstable. Is it okay if she needs it?" Mingzhu asked nervously.
"The condition definitely exists, but how serious it is cannot be confirmed yet, and further diagnosis is needed," said Dr. Stephen.
Ning Xiner struggled for a while, seemed a little tired, and slowly calmed down.
Turning around, she saw Mingzhu, and suddenly started crying again, shouting Mingzhu's name. Mingzhu hurried over and hugged her, and Ning Xiner also hugged her.
About an hour later, Dr. Stephen came out and said to Lu Ming and Ning Zetao: "The patient's condition is not optimistic, but there is no substantial schizophrenia. I judge that it is an early symptom. Fortunately, it was stopped in time."
Lu Ming listened and translated for Ning Zetao.
"Will the condition worsen further?" Ning Zetao asked.
Lu Ming translated it.
"It's hard to say yet. We can't make a final diagnosis now. It will take a while. During this period, only the most conservative treatment methods can be used. Only after the diagnosis is confirmed can we formulate a complete treatment plan." Dr. Stephen said.
He could also speak some Chinese, but not only could he not understand the Chinese, but it also sounded very painful to him, so Lu Ming simply asked him to speak English.
"How long will it take for a complete diagnosis?" Lu Ming asked.
"It will probably take about half a month, but what I can tell you now is good news. This lady's spirit has not yet reached a complete breakdown. As long as the method is appropriate, there is hope for a cure." Dr. Stephen was obviously a little proud of his judgment.
.
Lu Ming also knew that mental illness generally lasts for life and cannot be completely cured. The patients treated by Dr. Stephen should have mild symptoms. Now it seems that Ning Xiner should also be in the same situation. This is of course good news.
Lu Ming and Ning Zetao had no other choice but to hand Ning Xiner over to the doctor. Lu Ming still had many things to deal with and couldn't stay here with her every day.
Yuan Mingzhu and Ning Zetao never left the clinic and stayed with Ning Xiner for treatment. The guards from Caobang took turns waiting outside the clinic.
After all, the matter had come to an end. Lu Ming remembered his promise to Mr. Jiang within ten days and decided to calm down the turbulent situation in Shanghai as soon as possible.
Ning Zetao accepted Lu Ming's suggestion and made several phone calls. Lu Ming also traveled to many places to visit the big guys in Shanghai one by one, including Sheng Youde and Yan Hongdao.
Three days later, various trade unions in Shanghai ended the general strike, and order in Shanghai began to gradually restore. Order at the docks and stations was also restored to the original state, and the ban on Japanese sales was also lifted.
On the tenth day, public order and business transactions in Shanghai returned to normal, and Lu Ming finally completed the "ten-day deadline" task ordered by Mr. Jiang.
During these ten days, he came to the hospital to visit Ning Xiner every day and asked Dr. Stephen about Ning Xiner's condition.
After ten days of treatment and observation, including various medical examinations, Dr. Stephen was finally able to make a judgment.
He believed that Ning Xiner's condition was a result of mental trauma caused by excessive intimidation and pressure and a temporary mental breakdown.
This is very different from typical schizophrenia, but a phobia and anxiety disorder that can be completely cured.
Typical schizophrenia generally goes through a long period of depression and anxiety, and reaches the end of despair in repeated torture, eventually leading to mental breakdown.
Dr. Stephen made this judgment at the beginning, but he was not confident enough. After ten days of various examinations and treatments, he was able to make this diagnosis.
"Doctor, can you tell what happened to Miss Ning that caused this disease?" Lu Ming asked.
"It's hard to say, but one thing is certain, she was raped." Dr. Stephen sighed.
"Rape?!" Lu Ming was stunned, and a surge of anger suddenly burned in his heart.
"Yes, this can be determined because there is substantial trauma." Dr. Stephen said implicitly.
Lu Ming also immediately thought that he came to visit Ning Xiner these days, but as soon as Ning Xiner saw him, she would get sick immediately, so he had to look at Ning Xiner through the door.
Ning Zetao and Lu Ming had said that Ning Xiner seemed to have a fear of men, except for doctors in white coats.
Sometimes she could recognize Ning Zetao as her brother and would let Ning Zetao get close to her. Sometimes she could not recognize him and would scream and get sick.
"Ms. Ning probably suffered a mental breakdown and then suffered rape, which is why her symptoms are so severe. Now her symptoms can be summarized as phobia, anxiety disorder and androphobia, which are a combination of these three diseases. Therefore, the treatment is relatively easy.
Trouble, I need a few courses of treatment.”
"Is there any hope of a complete cure?" Lu Ming asked.
"Theoretically, it is possible to recover completely, but the treatment time will be very long, maybe several years or even ten years." Dr. Stephen shrugged.
Lu Ming sighed, although the treatment took too long, as long as there was hope for a complete recovery, it would be good.
"Also, is that Miss Yuan your fiancée?" Doctor Stephen asked.
"Well, yes, what happened to her?" Lu Ming took a breath.
"She also needs timely treatment. Maybe her relationship with Miss Ning is too deep, so she was stimulated by Miss Ning's situation. She also has a mild anxiety disorder now. Early treatment is still very effective. It is best not to delay." Dr. Stephen
said.
"Uh, there's still this matter, okay then." Lu Ming touched his nose and said dryly.
Lu Ming had already felt that Mingzhu was a little abnormal. Mingzhu was full of resentment towards him, and it could even be said to be a kind of hostility.
Of course he could understand Mingzhu. After the kidnapping incident, Mingzhu blamed herself and also resented Lu Ming, thinking that Ning Xiner suffered misfortune because of him.
Lu Ming has never denied this. He also believed that Ning Xiner was kidnapped by Ozawa and others because of his involvement.
What he regretted most was that he had chosen Caobang's ship to transport both times, especially the batch of arms.
When Lu Ming was doing these things, he wanted to reduce the risk as much as possible. Of course, it was to reduce the risk of the goods, but this caused Caobang to increase the risk.
As a result, all the risks were packaged and placed on Ning Xiner.
Lu Ming deeply blamed himself for this, but maybe his relationship with Ning Xiner was not as deep as Mingzhu's, so even though he blamed himself, he would not have symptoms of anxiety.
Lu Ming came to the clinic to visit Ning Xiner these days. Mingzhu never saw him alone or said a word to him. In fact, she was deliberately avoiding him and not giving him a chance.
Lu Ming does not blame Mingzhu. He knows that Mingzhu's heart has been seriously hurt and needs time to heal. You cannot rush this kind of thing and you need to wait for the right time.
By coincidence today, Lu Ming came out of Dr. Stephen's office and met Mingzhu head-on.
"I want to say a few words to you." Mingzhu dropped the sentence stiffly, turned around and walked out of the clinic alone.
Lu Ming looked around, like a puppy, and hurriedly followed him out with his tail between his legs.
Mingzhu stopped under a big tree, and then said to Lu Ming, who was walking over, "Lu Ming, I want you to do something for me."
"You can tell me, you can do any number of things." Lu Ming was full of courage at this moment, and he dared to continue no matter what he said.
"Help me kill that beast named Ozawa Seigoro." When Mingzhu said this name, her eyes were burning with hatred and anger.
"I was going to settle the score with him, what happened to him?" Lu Ming actually made a decision in his heart.
"He was the one who raped Sister Xin'er. He is a beast." Mingzhuliu started crying as she spoke.
Lu Ming wanted to go over to comfort Mingzhu and hold her in his arms, even without saying a word, but he was pushed away gently.
Lu Ming didn't know what was going on, so he could only say firmly: "Okay, from now on, no matter where he is hiding, I will find him and kill him with my own hands. Even if he escapes back to Japan, I will not let him survive this year."
Mingzhu wiped her eyes with her arms. After a while, her expression became more stable. Her eyes were not directed towards Lu Ming, but into the distance.
"In addition, there is something else I want to tell you. I can't marry you now. Please forgive me." Mingzhu said firmly.
Lu Ming froze and wanted to say something. He grunted a few times, but no sound came out.
"Everything depends on the development of sister Xin'er's illness. If her illness is not cured for a day, I will not leave her side for a day."
Lu Ming was thinking in his mind about how to cure Ning Xiner's disease as soon as possible. After speaking, Mingzhu didn't look at him and walked to the clinic alone.
