Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Oh no, the affair has been discovered.

"How can you be so sure that the pills I take are for depression? I recall there’s a drug with light blue pills too."

Miss Su Wanxin curiously asked, and seeing Zhong Xian’s demeanor change, she chuckled lightly.

In response to her teasing, Zhong Xian seriously asked, "Does your family know about your medication?"

"Is the conversation between a doctor and a patient always this imbalanced?" Su Wanxin rested her cheek on her hand, slightly dissatisfied, "Can’t I ask you a question and you ask me one in return?"

Zhong Xian squinted his eyes slightly, understanding why she suddenly agreed to meet.

"Sure. I can answer any question you have, as long as I know."

"My family knows about the medication I take." Su Wanxin happily gave him the answer, then asked, "Is hypnotism like they say in the legends real?"

"Hypnotic therapy does exist in our profession," Zhong Xian answered after sipping his coffee, and then asked, "How long have you been taking the medication?"

"Almost two years."

That long?!

Zhong Xian was taken aback and observed Su Wanxin more carefully.

He had to admit, Su Wanxin hid it very well, so well that it was almost impossible to see any flaws.

"Can hypnotism make people forget certain things?" Su Wanxin stared into Zhong Xian’s eyes and asked in a deep tone.

Zhong Xian pondered for a moment before responding, "It’s possible, but not everyone achieves this. People who are highly suggestible can enter a deep hypnotic state under a professional hypnotist, and with specific hypnotic suggestions, selectively forget certain things. However, it may not be permanent."

"Why?" Su Wanxin urgently asked.

"It’s my turn to ask," Zhong Xian smiled. "Miss Su, have you undergone formal psychological therapy? In other words, before me, did you ever sit down and talk with another professional psychologist?"

"I suppose I did," Su Wanxin recalled, "but it didn’t last long. About a month and then I gave up and just continued with the medication."

"The reason?"

"Because he couldn’t cure my illness." Su Wanxin saw a waiter coming with coffee, took it from him, and didn’t continue to play by the rules of the game with Zhong Xian. She simply responded to his question. "I’m incurable."

She took a sip of her coffee, pleased with the rich taste.

"Doctor Zhong, I’ll tell you the truth, I don’t have much time left, so there’s no point in wasting time on psychological therapy. I came here today to ask you for a favor, and I’m willing to pay any price if you agree."

Zhong Xian had seen so many people, yet it was the first time he encountered someone like her, who could speak so lightly and cheerfully about their impending death, without any trace of regret or fear in her eyes.

What had she gone through?

Nobody is exempt from the fear of death, including Zhong Xian himself.

"What is it, let’s hear it," Zhong Xian asked with a frown.

"If one day I really..."

"Su Wanxin?"

Her words were cut off by an interruption.

Su Wanxin turned her head and saw Fu Shiyi’s surprised and angry face not far away.

"Zhong Xian? Why are you two together?"

Fu Shiyi strode forward, looking down at Su Wanxin and questioning. Su Wanxin paused for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Oops, caught cheating."

Zhong Xian: "..."

"Su Wanxin, if you want to die just say it!" Fu Shiyi, infuriated by her response, sucked in a breath and raised his hand, striking her.
