Chapter 185: Take Your Medicine
“Ning Chen, are you the idiot here?” Qin Yu’s heart ached so much that she almost suffocated. She held Ning Chen’s hand in her palm, but she didn’t dare to use too much strength. She merely held it in to prevent him from touching the wound again.
“I’m not stupid,” Ning Chen explained, speaking slowly.
“You’re a fool!” Qin Yu was so upset that she became a little angry.
“I’m not a fool!” Ning Chen became anxious. He clenched his fists and struggled to stand up. “I’m not a fool at all. Xiao Yu, please don’t leave me…”
Qin Yu held Ning Chen down abruptly, and her tone was a little helpless. “Ning Chen, can you sit down properly?”
Ning Chen saw Qin Yu’s anger and he immediately put down his hands helplessly. He looked at Qin Yu nervously and said, “I’ll do it.”
Qin Yu touched Ning Chen’s face and said patiently, “Then promise me in the future that you won’t hurt yourself like this again, okay? You’re not at fault! Do you want me to feel bad by hurting yourself like this? I know that you’re in a lot of pain and pressure. I know you did this because you’re out of options, right?”
Qin Yu finally felt the psychological issues that Uncle Wen had told her about Ning Chen.
Although she had been pretending to be dumb all these years, she was at least mentally healthy and normal.
Ning Chen had always acted like a normal person, but the pressure that life had put on him for a long time and the tragic experiences of his parents had long caused a twisted change in his mind.
Perhaps it was because Qin Yu’s words had been heard by Ning Chen. Although he did not say anything, his gaze was very serious as he looked at Qin Yu.
Qin Yu sighed in her heart, she continued, “Chen, please let me know when you feel stressed. We will solve it together, okay? You’re enduring all this alone. Don’t you believe I can help you? Don’t look down on me. I’m not just good at eating, drinking, and sleeping. I’m also very good at comforting people.”
Qin Yu made a small joke. Seeing that Ning Chen’s mood had become much more relaxed, she slowly tugged on Ning Chen’s hand. “Let’s take the medicine first, okay?”
According to Uncle Wen, when Ning Chen became ill, he needed to take medicine. However, Qin Yu had never seen Ning Chen lose control of his emotions before, so she did not know where Ning Chen’s medicine was.
Ning Chen heard Qin Yu’s words and seemed a little reluctant. He lowered his head and explained, “I’m not sick. I don’t need that.”
“Be a good boy, Chen. This is not a disease. You’re just under too much pressure. You’ll get tired, and we need to make sure you feel well, Chen. Will you listen to me?”
Qin Yu first coaxed Ning Chen and then threatened him a little. Sure enough, Ning Chen did not resist anymore. He stood up obediently, walked to the bedside table, and took out a bottle.
Qin Yu let out a long sigh of relief — fortunately, he didn’t throw the medicine away.
After swallowing two pills, Ning Chen returned to Qin Yu’s side and held her hand, his tone was a little uneasy as he said, “Was I frightening just now? Did I scare you? Do you want to leave me now?”
Qin Yu was stunned by Ning Chen’s questions, after a while, she laughed and looked at him. “What are you thinking about all day? I’m already married to you. As long as you don’t want to divorce me, I’ll be your wife for the rest of my life. How can I leave you? Also, you were there for me through thick and thin. Don’t tell me that I have to run away whenever you’re in trouble? You’re underestimating me.”
Only then did Ning Chen feel slightly relieved.
Qin Yu saw Ning Chen’s eyes gradually became clear and calm. She knew that his emotions were slowly under control after taking the medicine.
“Chen.”
“Hmm?” Ning Chen turned his head and looked at Qin Yu. Although his gaze was not much different from before, Qin Yu knew that the Ning Chen she knew had returned.
“This time, I managed to get some useful information.” Qin Yu told Ning Chen about the person with the surname Ouyang, but automatically omitted the fact that the man in the white coat wanted to do experiments on her.
“Ouyang?” Ning Chen frowned, as if he was thinking seriously in his mind. Then, he shook his head. “I don’t know anyone with the surname Ouyang in M City.”
“Could it be someone from another place?” Qin Yu was a little surprised, but they didn’t know much about Ouyang for the time being, so they had to gather more clues.
“Right, Chen. At that time, a man in a white coat talked to me. He should be a scientist, but the experiments he did were inhumane and insane. He was a very dangerous person.” Qin Yu thought of the white coat, her blood suddenly turned cold, and she subconsciously shrank back.
“Those people should still be locked up in the Public Security Bureau. I’ll retrieve him,” Ning Chen said in a casual tone.
