Chapter 257: Chapter 257
"After Qingqing started speaking, she slowly got better. She stayed at the Zhao Family for about half a month. For some reason, I took Qingqing and left the Zhao Family. When we returned to the door of the place that confined her, her face turned pale, and she didn’t dare to go in. Later, I took her elsewhere to continue living under others’ roofs."
"She truly got better after about six months. During those six months, I went from being able to leave her for five minutes to gradually extending the time to a few hours. Only then did she slowly overcome the obstacles and panic in her heart." For origınal chapters go to novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Shen Jue looked down at the person sleeping in his arms, feeling a deep ache in his heart.
In that small storage room, what kind of world did she end up in?
"Did your sister ever relapse later?" Shen Jue thought for a moment and rephrased, "What kind of environment would trigger it again?"
"Once was enough for me to remember and fear for a lifetime. How would I dare to let her be in that kind of environment again?" Rong Kuo shook his head.
"I kept a close watch, and she didn’t relapse. The doctor said she has claustrophobia specific to certain environments. Generally, things like riding an elevator or being alone in a room don’t make her tense or scared."
"However, in places like the storage room with no light and no air, if she stays for more than a minute, she quickly retreats into a self-protective space. Once she falls into this state, she completely cuts off contact with the outside world, unable to hear others speaking or calling her."
"The doctor said this is also a kind of childhood trauma aftereffect," Rong Kuo said. "When your fiancée wakes up, she will likely feel very insecure. You should spend more time with her and not leave her alone; she should slowly get better."
"Thank you very much." Shen Jue’s words of gratitude were filled with sincerity. "I know a foreign neurology expert. If needed, I can introduce him to you."
"I need that." Rong Kuo didn’t stand on ceremony with Shen Jue because he truly needed it.
Rong Kuo took the contact information of the foreign neurology expert from Shen Jue and left the ward.
No one spoke, leaving only the soft sounds of two people’s breathing in the ward.
The silence was somewhat uncomfortable for Shen Jue.
He held Rong Qingqing in his arms, looking down at her face as if etching her silhouette in his heart, bit by bit, connecting the lines, forming the image of her when she was awake.
She, needy of him, with a flattering and ingratiating smile.
Her triumphant, unbearably smug look when she belittled Qiaoqiao.
Her uncompromising demeanor when arguing with Zhao Junxi.
Each expression made him like her more than now, as she lay quietly in his arms.
Lin Bufan escorted Rong Kuo to the entrance of the hospital and even arranged a car to take Rong Kuo back, then returned.
He knocked lightly on the door, taking care to soften his footsteps as he went in, afraid of waking the person who had fallen asleep.
The sight of Rong Qingqing in the storage room truly frightened him.
She crouched there, trembling, like a little wretch abandoned by the world.
That sight was something Lin Bufan would never forget.
"Boss." Lin Bufan lowered his voice, "I’ve arranged for a driver to take President Rong away. President Rong said we can contact him anytime if needed."
"Have someone keep an eye on the Zhao Family and call home to let them know not to come tonight," Shen Jue instructed.
"Understood." Lin Bufan nodded and left the ward to make the call.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
After President Zhao and the others left, given the incident involving Shen Jue’s fiancée at the Zhao Family house, the Zhao Family’s guests also gradually left with the housekeeper’s apologies.
