Chapter 311: Chapter 311 The Medicine Given to Me by Ding Yinuo_1
Yes, something was very off!
That was Gu Yuanzhou’s motive.
Why on earth!!
Why the Song Family of all people?
After all, there aren’t many who repay kindness with enmity in this world, unless one has an antisocial personality.
But based on what I’ve understood from being married to him for so many years, he doesn’t seem like the mentally unstable kind of psychiatric patient with erratic emotions.
Thinking this, my mind again turned to the doctor colleague Ding Yinuo had introduced to me, the one from the psychology department, Jia Musen.
The very next morning!
After washing Ding Yinuo’s face, I let him taste a bit of the cream and honey lemon water on the tip of his tongue.
“Yinuo, can you taste it? Is it sweet? If you want to eat it again next time, just blink your eyes to let me know.”
I waited for a long time, but Ding Yinuo showed no reaction. I didn’t pressure him either.
“It’s okay, don’t rush, I know you are trying! I’ll wait for you.”
After taking good care of Ding Yinuo, it was just in time for the hospital’s morning shift.
I found Jia Musen in the psychology department…
Unlike the other departments.
There were very few patients in psychology. Jia Musen, wearing glasses and a white coat, was leisurely drinking tea and reading a book early in the morning.
“Dr. Jia, good morning!”
Upon seeing me come over, Jia Musen put down the book in his hands.
“Miss Song, good morning! Do you need something from me?”
“It’s nothing particularly important, I just want to talk. Will I be interrupting your work?”
“No, no, not at all. My department has fewer patients. I have one scheduled for this morning, but they won’t be here for another half an hour. Please, take a seat!”
Jia Musen was very welcoming towards me, he rose to brew a cup of tea for me, and even praised me, saying,
“Miss Song, you are truly understanding and generous to Ding Yinuo. All the colleagues in our hospital admire you very much.”
I gave a faint smile.
“It’s nothing more than my duty, it doesn’t amount to any great understanding or generosity!”
“The behavior of Miss Song is something that many women in real life lack. Indeed, you are an example worth learning from.”
After exchanging pleasantries with Jia Musen for a few moments, I got to the point and recounted Gu Yuanzhou’s behavior, then asked.
“Dr. Jia, do you think my friend might have a mental illness?”
Jia Musen shook his head,
“Just from your descriptions, he doesn’t seem to have any problems. But to know for sure, he would need to come here in person.”
“Oh, I see!”
After chatting with Jia Musen for a bit, he then asked me,
“You look tired, and you have severe dark circles under your eyes. Have you been sleeping poorly recently?”
“Yes! I’ve had complete insomnia lately, can’t sleep at all…”
“Did you stop taking the medicine?”
“Stop what medicine?”
“The one… I delivered to Ding Yinuo’s hands, the medicine he gave you to take!”
My heart stirred. I only remembered Ding Yinuo giving me some health supplements, but I vaguely recalled him saying they were from Dr. Jia.
Could they not be supplements?
I also recalled that when they met, they always whispered to each other, discussing things quietly. Could it be that Ding Yinuo was keeping something from me?
So, I pretended to be in the know,
“Oh, the medicine you mentioned, I took it for a while, but then I stopped because I was afraid of side effects.”
Jia Musen shook his head, “That’s the best medicine for treating depression, there usually aren’t any major side effects. However, if you feel there are side effects, then shall I prescribe something else for you?”
“Doctor Jia, could you have made a mistake in your diagnosis? I don’t feel like I have depression.”
“Depression has many symptoms, and sometimes patients can’t feel them. Like your symptoms, they could be insomnia, anxiety, emotional instability to extremes, unpredictability, memory loss, and so on. Medication will suppress these…”
I was utterly shocked.
I suddenly remembered that Ding Yinuo often coaxed me to take medicine.
So, he had known about my illness all along but chose not to tell me.
What else had this man secretly done for me?
Jia Musen seemed not to have sensed the change in my emotions and continued,
“Ding Yinuo is very concerned about you, he put a lot of effort into finding these specific medications for you. These aren’t drugs that our hospital can provide; they were bought from overseas.”
“Yes, he’s a very good doctor!”
“Haha, he’s only this good to you!”
“Thank you, Doctor Jia, I won’t disturb your work anymore, I’ll be off now!”
“No problem, feel free to disturb me anytime. By the way, the medication you were on before can actually still be taken.”
“Mhm!”
After saying goodbye to Jia Musen, I returned to the hospital room…
At that moment, Ding Xiao also came.
“Seeing you so busy every day, I’m afraid your body can’t take it. How about I hire a caretaker to relieve you a bit? You just need to stay here during the day. Let the caretaker come at night.”
Ding Xiao also came to see Ding Yinuo every now and then.
But because he was quite busy with work and had to take care of his family, he often had to leave shortly after arriving.
“No need, Big Brother Ding, I’m still young and can handle it. Yinuo doesn’t like others taking care of him!”
Ding Xiao sighed deeply and said no more. Then, he took out a cellphone from his bag,
“This is Yinuo’s phone, delivered by the police. They found it at the scene of the car accident. Fortunately, it wasn’t broken, just some scrapes on the case. I had the screen replaced, and it still works. Now I’m entrusting it to you to look after on his behalf.”
“Alright!”
I took Ding Yinuo’s cellphone, clutching it to my heart.
Thinking about how this phone he used day and night was now idle, I felt a pang of sadness.
I found a charger and recharged the phone for him.
“I should get going now. Thank you for taking such good care of Yinuo.”
Ding Xiao didn’t stay long before he left.
By midday, Shen Yishu also came.
He brought a pile of gifts and even bought a bouquet…
“He can’t eat much, so next time you come, there’s no need to bring gifts!”
Shen Yishu smiled at me, “They’re for you! Sigh… Doctor Ding is really fortunate to have someone so dedicated to care for him.”
I put the fresh flowers into the vase on the table. In fact, I welcomed friends coming to visit Ding Yinuo.
Having friends in the hospital room often made it lively, avoiding a gloomy atmosphere.
This vibrant ambiance could help to drive away the darkness and fear from Ding Yinuo, if he were conscious.
“Sigh, I just hope he wakes up soon!”
Shen Yishu nodded, “As long as you keep it up, there will definitely be hope. By the way, I heard from friends that traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture might be effective, why don’t you find a good traditional Chinese medicine doctor and try acupuncture?”
“Great idea! I’ll look into it!”
After exchanging a few words with Shen Yishu, I casually asked him, “Ye Mengyan’s mother is also in this hospital, what will you do if you run into her?”
Shen Yishu said calmly, “I used to like her because I thought she was still innocent. Now it seems she is not worthy of the affection I had for her back then. However, it’s over now, it’s all in the past, and now we are just strangers.”
I laughed, “I think Jia Yuyan is a good person, why don’t you two get together?”
