During a cross-examination of Su Yutan, Bandy asked, “I can see from your work video that when Flora offered you to take her to Starry Sky Plaza, you seemed a bit hesitant, were you?”
Su Yutan nodded, “Yes.”
“Why?”
“I was worried that she couldn"t handle the excursion.”
“Why did you change your mind then?”
Su Yutan said in silence, “Because Flora begged me.”
“Can you repeat what she asked you?”
“She said, "I"m going to die. Can"t this little wish of mine be fulfilled?"”
“Can you say, what point in this sentence moved you and changed your mind?”
Su Yutan sighed in her heart, and told him truthfully, “She was going to die.”
“You care about her dying, right?”
Su Yutan nodded, “Yes.”
“Because she was dying, you did not hesitate to violate your code of work and take her out of the hospital?”
Before Su Yutan answered, Chief Zhou, the defendant"s lawyer, raised his hand against, “The plaintiff"s lawyer is making unfounded misleading speculations. Miss Su did not violate the work code.”
The judge ruled that the objection was valid, so Su Yutan did not have to answer Bandy"s question.
Bandy asked another question, “Ms. Su, did you try to commit suicide when you were fifteen?”
Director Zhou objected again, “This is Miss Su"s private life and has nothing to do with the case.”
But Bundy insisted, “Judge, this question is related to whether Miss Su"s mental state is stable, and whether the Social Affairs Bureau is using the right people.So it is closely related to this case.
“The objection is invalid. The witness is asked to answer.” The judge declared solemnly.
The wound in her heart was torn open and Su Yutan"s vision was blurred, she got a bit breathless.
Bandy pushed her for an answer impolitely, “Miss Su, please answer my question.”
Su Yutan grasped the handrail of the witness seat tightly with both hands and gasped a few times, saying a little numbly and a little mechanically, “Yes.”
“Did you try to commit suicide at the time, and does it has something to do with your level 6 subconscious trauma syndrome?”
“Yes.”
“Now, are you still taking a drug called a neurotransmitter modulator every day?”
“Yes.”
“Is this a psychotropic drug?”
“Yes.”
“So, your subconscious trauma syndrome is still not cured, and you are still suffering from it, right?”
Jackal: A person who behaves in an opportunistic way
————–
“Correct.”
“Do you often wish to die in your mind?”
Director Zhou objected again, but the objection remained invalid.
Unwilling to lie in court, Su Yutan said honestly, “Not often. But sometimes…”
“When is this sometimes?”
“When there are major setbacks.”
“Have you ever wanted to die recently?”
Su Yutan was silent for a moment, and spit out a word, “Yes.”
“Your latent wound is a "self-destructive tendency." I checked the medical books. The book says: "The latent wound patients with this tendency have a subconscious desire for death, just like how ordinary people yearn for home". Have you ever had this desire? “
Su Yutan answered without expression or undulation, “Yes.”
“Last year, there was a hostage-taking case in the Xinhai Social Affairs Bureau. I watched the video at the time, and you were shown an extraordinary calm when the robber held a gun and pointed at his head. This calm, and your desire for death does it matter?”
“… It does.”
“You don"t have to do regular follow-up tasks like other social workers. Have you objected to this distinction?”
“No.”
“Why not object?”
Su Yutan remained silent for a longer time, until Bandi began to urge, she said, “Because I worry about the day when I will relapse and trouble my colleagues.”
Bandy looked at Su Yutan, with a slight smile on his face, indifferent and proud.
He turned to the judge and said, “Your Honor, I"m done.”
When he came down from the witness stand, Su Yutan felt stingy.
Lu Xiaozhi and Qiao w.a.n.gchuan came over quickly and helped her to leave quickly.
For some time later, Su Yutan"s memory was chaotic and fuzzy.
After leaving the court, she seemed to be taken directly to the hospital, followed by a series of diagnosis and treatment. But she didn"t remember the specific diagnosis and treatment, what she said and what she and her surroundings did.
By the time she recovered her clearer memory and thinking, it was already early June.
Su Yutan remembered that the little Dove was scheduled to be born on May 20.
She sat in a chair silently for several days. That is, she missed the birth of the little Dove.
By mid-June, she had basically returned to the state she was before her testimony.
Lu Xiaozhi began to allow relatives and friends to visit.
The first person who wanted to visit her was Qiao w.a.n.gchuan. He also wanted to bring her a little Dove to show her.
But Su Yutan rejected Qiao w.a.n.gchuan"s visit, because she now suddenly agreed with a word that he once said; keeping a distance is good to both of them.
The second person to apply for a visit was Avril.
Su Yutan wanted to know the outcome of the lawsuit and agreed to see her. Qiao w.a.n.gchuan confiscated her smart device and did not let her read the news online.
Avril seemed to be a little thinner, but she was fine.
Speaking of that lawsuit, she was lethargic. “We lost that lawsuit, jurisprudence once again defeated human habits. The judgment said: According to the principle of marital disembodiment, Bandy has equal and independent custody rights with Rathley His rights should not be ignored. Therefore, the court sentenced us to compensation of 500,000 for Bandy. Fusheng Hospital was sentenced to compensation of 200,000 for letting you leave with Flora and joint responsibility."
It really was that result!
After waiting for a long time, “Another Boot” finally smashed heavily, breaking the string that had been hanging Su Yutan"s heart. There was pain and loss in her heart, but there was also a sense of relief when the dust finally settled.
Avril sighed and couldn"t help voicing again, “So, Bandy villain won! He not only received 700,000 yuan in compensation, but also stepped on our face and his own conscience and successfully washed himself. Xiaohong got a boost in the legal profession. Now, there are more people seeking him in lawsuits, and the media are lining up to interview him."
“On the other hand, from now on, whether it is a hospital, a school, or a home, it will be more troublesome to gain admission, because no matter what the doc.u.ment agreement says, all guardians with equal rights will have to agree."
“But even if it is troublesome! You have to do it like this! This is the law, this is the civilization!”
After voicing out, Avril said nothing more, she watched Su Yutan"s expression and sat quietly with her.
Su Yutan bowed her head and remained silent for a while, before breathing with a sigh of relief.
She could not go back! Really… she could not go back!
Her short career as a social worker started with Flora and ended with Flora.
Fair enough! This was actually a kind of complete circle.
“I will tell you good news!” Avril suddenly gave a smile. “I made peace with Dr. Qiao!”
Su Yutan"s eyes brightened, “When did it happen?”
Avril smiled freely, “It was not long ago I suddenly figured it out. I think life is so short and I don"t know what will happen tomorrow. Why give up my happiness because of that b.i.t.c.h Cui Linlin?”
Su Yutan looked at her bright smile and felt better.
She hugged Avril and said with a smile, “I"m really happy for you.”
Then she tilted her head and looked at Avril, blinking her eyes, and said, “I don"t know what will happen tomorrow… You are telling me that me getting into an accident by a flying saucer made you figure it out?” “
“Yes, I can"t hide it!” Avril laughed and continued, “There is another good news, do you want to know.”
“What good news?”
“That Cui Linlin s.l.u.t was just sentenced. She has to go to jail for 87 years! By the time she comes out of prison, she would be over a hundred years old, and then she won"t have strength to be a demon. This is also one of the reasons for Dr. Qiao and my happiness.”
Su Yutan grinned broadly, “This is specially good news!”
After Avril left, Su Yutan"s mood improved a lot.
Although the world was not satisfactory, it was also good enough to be able to put Cui Linlin in jail for more than 80 years.
Bad news!
