Lu Mingfei stood in front of a certain ward on the fourth floor, reading the words on the door, and was stunned for a moment.
He looked at the entire ward on the sixth floor and some wards on the first floor, and he had never seen a patient with a level of "10"... I remember that the largest number was "9", which was "Alzheimer's disease".
It is an organic mental disorder that may even affect body organs when severe. It is a mental illness that is difficult to treat.
But level "10"... how severe is the delusion?
In other words, hasn’t such a serious illness become a serious... lunatic for ordinary people?
There is still a yellowish light on the room, and there is actually a transparent glass panel on the door that allows you to see into the ward. This is probably to facilitate the caregivers to constantly monitor the status of the patients in the room, but at the moment the glass panel is obscured by a layer of hazy fog.
, Lu Mingfei raised his hand and tried to wipe the fog on the glass, trying to see what was going on in the room.
At this moment, I couldn't care less about avoiding suspicion. After all, she was my senior brother's mother, and Aunt Su Xiaoyan usually took good care of him.
But unexpectedly, Lu Mingfei just exerted a little force and the door was pushed open from the outside in.
This door is unlocked?
It was quiet during the holiday. I looked in through the crack in the door. The warm yellow desk lamp on the bedside was shining. The whole room was filled with the scent of lavender, but Lu Mingfei could not smell it. Hidden under the scent was the faint smell of disinfectant, lavender.
The smell is probably to help you sleep and mask the pungent smell of disinfectant.
The standard of the room is quite high, with bedside tables, high-end hanging paintings, a rubber wood desk and a large floor-to-ceiling window. The curtains on the window are tightly closed, but you can imagine the garden landscape in the yard behind it.
There are building blocks and puzzles for relieving boredom, as well as some books, which are standard items for patients with mental illness. These things can relieve their boredom, distract their attention, and help them activate their brains.
There are no entertainment electronic products such as TVs or communication tools in the room. There is a large double bed in the center, which looks very soft. The quilt cover and sheets are all clean and pure white. There is an emergency button at the head of the bed.
The call button is probably so that people inside can quickly call the caregiver if something happens.
There was a woman lying on the bed, covered with a not-too-thick blanket. Her arms and feet were stretched out of the blanket, exposing her fair skin. There was a syringe and a bandage on the back of her left hand. From this angle, it was clear that
You couldn't see the expression on her face, but the woman seemed to be asleep.
If it weren't for the water bottle hanging next to the bed, it would be hard for Lu Mingfei to tell that this was a ward.
He looked at the empty corridor and saw that Chu Zihang hadn't come yet, so he was about to close the door and exit, when the woman on the bed suddenly made a sound.
"Who are you? Who are you? What are you doing standing there!" The woman's voice was full of panic.
Lu Mingfei hurriedly stepped forward and closed the door behind him. He explained in a panic: "Aunt Su, it's me. I'm Lu Mingfei. I came with my senior brother. I heard that you are sick. Let's take a look.
you……"
Lu Mingfei said this, but the woman on the bed made no movement. Lu Mingfei leaned over and took a look. The woman was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and there was a gentle snorting sound.
It turned out to be a dream... or a nightmare.
I don't know why, it was Aunt Su who had the nightmare, but it was Lu Mingfei who was frightened... Lu Mingfei was really afraid that Su Xiaoyan would suddenly press the call button on the bedside and call in the nurses and doctors. After all, there were rules.
It is forbidden for Su Xiaoyan to be visited. If this matter is brought to the senior brother and his stepfather, I don't know if there will be any trouble, but at this juncture, it is better to have more trouble than less trouble.
There was a chair beside the hospital bed. Lu Mingfei simply didn't go out and sat down by the bed. He looked at Su Xiaoyan on the bed. His senior brother's mother was quite dead when she was sleeping.
The sleeping position was indeed not very elegant. Lu Mingfei was afraid of seeing something he shouldn't have seen, so he pulled the blanket and covered Su Xiaoyan's hands and feet. Lu Mingfei noticed that there were many old signs on Su Xiaoyan's feet.
The cocoon should be left from learning to dance when I was young.
Her ankles and legs are white and thin. She is obviously about the same age as her aunt, but when the two of them are put together, it is not obvious that they are of the same age. Even though they are sleeping and naked, it can be seen that their skin is really delicate and well-maintained.
She is also very good. She looks like she is thirty years old at most. You can imagine that when she puts on makeup and stands on the stage, she will definitely be a beauty that no one can match. I don’t know how many men were obsessed with this woman when they were young.
According to what the aunts who visited Chu Zihang's house said before, when she was young, Su Xiaoyan's suitors could be ranked as far as France... In fact, this is not an exaggeration at all. Su Xiaoyan has participated in several foreign performances.
He gained a large number of foreign fans after just a few appearances... According to Chu Zihang, when he went out with his mother in high school, some people always thought they were siblings, or even lovers. Su Xiaoyan
He didn't mind either. He held Chu Zihang's arm every time and smiled cheerfully. Passersby looked at this extremely good-looking "couple" and didn't know who to envy for a moment.
It seems that Chu Zihang's appearance should be inherited more from his mother. Chu Zihang has never mentioned his father much, but Lu Mingfei has seen him. He is a very talkative person and is not easy to find in the crowd.
It’s not that he’s not handsome, he’s just a bit slovenly. In short, standing with Chu’s mother will make him look clean and unsuitable. However, when Lu Mingfei met Chu Zihang, Su Xiaoyan was already with Chu Zihang’s stepfather.
Together, Lu Mingfei had never seen Chu Zihang's parents together, but it was hard to imagine that such a man could pursue such a charming woman.
It shouldn't be just words, Chu Zihang and his father must have a hidden identity. Facing a man who dares to wield a knife even if he is a "god", Lu Mingfei thinks that such men are extremely handsome and definitely have great personalities.
Charming...the image of a driver who usually nods and bends is probably just his disguise.
Such a man is lurking in this city just for Odin, right?
Lu Mingfei didn't know the true identity of Chu Zihang's father, but it seemed that they were not the first people to discover Odin. Someone had already been eyeing the "god"... It's just that the conflict seven years ago was an accident.
Whether it was intentional or not, it is impossible to verify now.
It must have been an accident. Chu Zihang was still in the car at that time, but Lu Mingfei couldn't see through the missing man. He was too mysterious. There was too little information about him so far. Even his wife...
Neither his ex-wife nor his biological son understand him.
"Chu Tianjiao..." Lu Mingfei muttered subconsciously. He remembered that his senior brother's father was called this name.
The woman who had been sleeping soundly on the bed suddenly opened her eyes. Her big eyes looked towards Lu Mingfei, with a slight confusion in her eyes, as if she had just woken up and hadn't realized why there was an extra person beside her bed.
Lu Mingfei was still immersed in his own thoughts, and for a moment he didn't notice that the woman in front of him had woken up.
"But how severe does hypochondria have to be to be graded ten? Do you even lack basic knowledge... No, I don't know what the evaluation criteria of this hospital are..." Lu Mingfei murmured.
murmured.
"Level ten...what does it mean?"
The sudden sound startled Lu Mingfei, who almost jumped up from his chair. He was shocked to see the woman approaching him with curious eyes open.
"Ah... Auntie!" Lu Mingfei stood up quickly and greeted Su Xiaoyan.
"Shhhhhhh, keep your voice down." Instead, Su Xiaoyan put her finger on her mouth to tell Lu Mingfei not to make too much noise, "You haven't told me yet. I heard you say that the disease is level ten, ten.
What does level mean?”
"No, I was thinking about the homework assigned by the school this time." Lu Mingfei looked at Su Xiaoyan in shock, "Auntie, you... know me?"
"I don't know you... Do you think I have Alzheimer's disease at such a young age?" Su Xiaoyan rolled her eyes, "Isn't it true? How many times have you come to my house? You even said that you would be your godson.
Are you teasing auntie?"
Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Su Xiaoyan's basic cognitive ability was still there, and there was no logical problem in her speech. As for her tone... She had always been like this. She was in her forties, and she was talking to someone in her twenties.
As a little girl of many years old, let her play with Su Xiaoqiang, Liu Miaomiao and the others, and they will probably become good sisters.
"Auntie, are you feeling okay?" Lu Mingfei sat back on the chair and asked tentatively, "Do you feel weak? Do you have a headache?"
"There's nothing wrong with me." Su Xiaoyan shook her head, "I feel good about eating and sleeping. Except for the occasional nightmares that sometimes wake me up, everything else is pretty good. Let me tell you.
Mingfei, my life has become more regular recently. I can go to bed before twelve o'clock in the evening and sleep until noon the next day. I feel full of energy."
Lu Mingfei looked at Su Xiaoyan and frowned slowly... Through this brief conversation, Lu Mingfei discovered that there was nothing wrong with Su Xiaoyan at all.
As big-hearted as usual, as heartless as usual, with the same personality as a little girl, she doesn't worry about anything at all, because someone has already worried about her... But the reason is that she is too normal.
How could such a normal person be sent to the hospital? There was a Level 10 sign hanging at the door? And there was still the smell of disinfectant in the room. It was inferred that the scene at that time was the traces of disinfection after being injected with sedatives or other drugs. It was just
If you have nightmares, why do you still have a hanging bottle hanging on your hand?
Lu Mingfei raised his head and glanced at the turbid liquid in the bottle. There was no label on it. He couldn't tell what kind of medicine it was, but it was not a nutritional supplement such as glucose.
"Auntie, do you know where this place is?" Lu Mingfei asked cautiously.
"Huh? Isn't it a high-end nursing home?" Su Xiaoyan pressed her temples, "Recently, I occasionally have nightmares and wake up in the middle of the night, so the new therapist at home suggested that I come to her place of work to stay for a while. Their service here is pretty good.
Okay, the environment is not bad, I slept just fine just now."
Lu Mingfei said heartily that you actually had a nightmare just now, and it scared me.
Lu Mingfei was even more puzzled, because Su Xiaoyan's words were completely inconsistent with Aunt Tong's. She thought the place she stayed in was just a nursing home? But the words "Sacred Heart Mercy Hospital" were clearly written on the door.
In other words, the guard also said that only those who have been sick for a period of time will be sent to this place... How could they be sent here to recuperate just because of nightmares?
Lu Mingfei looked at Su Xiaoyan in front of him. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell specifically.
"By the way, Mingfei, have you returned to China?" Su Xiaoyan suddenly asked, "How did you know I was here?"
"Yes, I came back two days ago. Didn't senior brother tell you?" Lu Mingfei nodded and replied, "I came here with senior brother. I went home with him. Aunt Tong said you were sent here.
, we came here to find you."
"Ah, my son has also returned to China? Why didn't he say hello to me?" Su Xiaoyan was obviously stunned. She looked at the door, "Where are the others? Are they here already? Why haven't you come to see him yet?
mom?"
Lu Mingfei was stunned. The cold feeling climbed up his back bit by bit. He looked at Su Xiaoyan in front of him and felt something strange.
How is this going?
Didn't the senior brother go back home and meet his mother? But why did Su Xiaoyan act like she hadn't seen Chu Zihang? How could she not know that Chu Zihang had returned to China? It was obvious that there was no way to get on the plane.
I saw that my senior brother had sent her an email.
Lu Mingfei finally understood where this sense of strangeness and dissonance came from. Su Xiaoyan's consciousness was really abnormal. It was not a problem with her basic logical abilities. She was a sober person, but her memory seemed to be in tatters.
confusion.
Is this a kind of delusion? Lu Mingfei doesn't know, but he knows that if his senior brother sees his mother like this, he will never be able to calm down.
"Senior brother, I saw you were asleep just now. Let's go out for a while." Lu Mingfei also glanced at the door, thinking that senior brother was too slow, why hasn't he come for so long.
"Auntie, you said you have been having nightmares recently. Do you still remember what you dreamed about?" Since we were sitting here, Lu Mingfei took the opportunity to ask.
"I dreamed... I seem to have lost something. I don't really remember it." Su Xiaoyan thought for a while and shook her head, "Oh, nightmares are things that you forget when you wake up.
, it’s not a good thing, why do you remember it?”
"That's right." Lu Mingfei laughed, thinking quickly about the entry point.
"By the way, Mingfei, you will be promoted to sophomore year soon, right?" Su Xiaoyan suddenly asked, and Lu Mingfei was stunned.
"Sophomore year?" Lu Mingfei said in astonishment, "I have been a sophomore for a long time, and I will be a junior in a while."
"Ah? Are you kidding?" Su Xiaoyan was also stunned, "Our Chu Zihang will only be a junior in the second half of the year. Aren't you a year younger than him? I have always heard your senior brother call you,
Did you skip a grade? The university also allows you to skip a grade?"
