Chapter 410: Heartache
Nan Zhi’s long and thick eyelashes trembled.
She really could not believe that other than bipolar disorder, Mu Sihan had such a serious mental illness.
“Why did this happen? He looks arrogant and it really seems like nothing could faze him. Other than his bad temper, he’s really a winner in life.”
He was handsome, successful in his career, powerful and admired by many. How could a person like him have such a serious mental illness?
“Actually, I don’t know much about when he was young or about his brother. His memory before he was 12 years old is a huge blank. I don’t know what he went through when he was a child.
“Even if I’m his psychiatrist, I couldn’t see through him. But one thing is that his apparent wildness, arrogance and overbearingness are all to hide his fragility.
“He’s very powerful but many people will also ignore the fact that he is just a normal person. He needs warmth and care, so towards those who are good to him, he will put in triple the effort to pay them back. This was also the case with his adoptive father and his brother.”
Amy sighed slightly and downed all the liquid in the gla.s.s. “Miss Nan, since he chose to hide it from you, please don’t expose him. If he got provoked, his condition might worsen. I’m sure you know how proud and willful he is. If possible, please stay by his side and give him the warmth he needs and let his wounded heart heal slowly.”
Amy had a long conversation with Nan Zhi. When she heard about Mu Sihan’s situation, Nan Zhi’s heart ached for him and she felt a panic that was difficult to accept.
…
By the time Nan Zhi returned to the manor, Xue’er had woken up.
Her face was pale and she was sitting by the bed crying.
“I dreamt of the doctors in the mental hospital. They forced me to take more and more medicine and gave me injections. Ah Han, I couldn’t take it anymore. I took a knife to keep them away but they didn’t leave, so I cut myself and they finally left…
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know I was having hallucinations…
“What’s the point of a person like me living? I’m always causing you to worry. It’s better for me just to die.”
Nan Zhi saw the man’s expression darken and his eyes turn gloomy. “If you die, have you thought about how those who are still living will feel? Before father died, he told me to take care of you and Grandma. If you die, what do you want me to tell father?”
“I’m sorry, Ah Han.” Xue’er was in a flood of tears.
Mu Sihan helped her to the bed. “Coorperate with the doctor. You will be cured of this illness.”
…
Nan Zhi looked at the two people in the room and her mood felt heavy and complicated.
He was a responsible man. It was reasonable for him to feel anxious and concerned for Xue’er. Besides, Xue’er was his adoptive father’s only daughter, there was unrequited grat.i.tude mixed with his love for her as family.
Nan Zhi understood everything he did after understanding his condition.
But women could be very small-minded when it came to their feelings. She could see that Xue’er still had feelings for him.
If she forgave him and got back together with him again, there was no way he could let go of the responsibility he felt towards Xue’er. That meant it was inevitable that the three of them would be caught up in a painful situation in the future.
…
After Xue’er fell asleep, Mu Sihan found his phone and wanted to call Nan Zhi when he saw the message she had sent.
“I went back home.”
Other than her message, there was another one from Amy.
…
Kaiyue Hotel.
Amy had just fallen asleep when the doorbell rang suddenly.
When she opened the door and saw the man who had came over, she said sleepily, “Your little beauty just left, why are you here?”
