Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Do Not Treat Despair as a Habit

She spoke softly and slowly.

"Because I remembered something someone once said to me."

Fu Shihan had told her when she was young and had just arrived at the Fu Family.

"He said, people can despair, but they shouldn’t turn despair into a habit."

Zhong Xian silently listened to her, thinking of the phone call she received that day, the remark shown on the mobile phone screen, he slightly frowned and asked.

"Before your mental state changed, did anything stressful happen?"

People like her wouldn’t be affected like this just by simple work and life pressure.

In Zhong Xian’s eyes, it was incredible that she could survive alone for so long without any accidents. Not to mention, she pretended so well every day.

If it wasn’t for his accidental discovery of her taking medication earlier... Zhong Xian didn’t dare to imagine what the outcome would be.

Su Wanxin thought for a moment and answered,

"There was a car accident."

She didn’t mention her ability to see unclean things, or the fright and stimulation these brought. She had some understanding of depression herself and knew that severe cases could present psychotic symptoms like hallucinations and delusions.

She didn’t want to be treated as a madwoman again, to be kicked out and sent to a psychiatric hospital.

Another car accident...

Zhong Xian thought of another difficult patient of his and sighed deeply.

"Do you really not have to work this afternoon? Then let’s schedule a time for our future meetings."

"How many times a week?" Su Wanxin asked with concern.

"For your case, it would be best if you see me every day under my supervision!"

"I don’t owe you money, forget it..." she muttered under her breath, but seeing Zhong Xian staring at her, she gave a faint smile. "I’m quite busy with work, it’s definitely impossible to meet daily. How about once a week then? You can decide the time."

"Three times."

"Twice."

"Deal."

Su Wanxin: ...

I feel like I’ve been tricked.

She confirmed the days for future meetings with Zhong Xian, saying she would give him her emergency contact number and home address later.

She would have to move out from Fu Shihan’s place first. Otherwise, if she forgot to show up one day and Zhong Xian came looking for her, it would be bad if he ran into Fu Shihan.

When she left Zhong Xian’s place, it was already past three in the afternoon.

Su Wanxin stood downstairs, slightly tilting her head and squinting her eyes as she looked at the sun above.

Nowhere to go, no friends to hang out and go shopping with.

Mu Suyu was likely at home furiously tapping on the keyboard to meet a deadline, so she could only obediently go back to her company.

...

Ever since she left with Mu Xinghan, Fu Shihan had been waiting for her in the company.

He waited for hours until the relentless chain of calls from the company at three o’clock forced him back, and Chen Lei, who had been occupying his office, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, with that funereal expression on his face, who would be in the mood to work? It was terrifying.

Chen Lei sent off Fu Shihan as if he were an imposing deity, and then took the opportunity to check Su Wanxin’s office. Seeing that she hadn’t returned, he went back to his own office and sighed heavily.

What big move had this lady played today? Why hadn’t she come back yet?

He dared not ask, he dared not speak.

Holding a huge secret in his heart, yet being tossed around by two fearsome patricians.

Chen Lei felt tired and thought he might as well be fired, to change and comfortably retire from this job.

When Su Wanxin arrived at the company, it was already past four o’clock.

As she had skipped work for quite some time, her colleagues sized her up, thinking there had been another incident.
