Chapter 24 1. Discharge

The men in the hospital reception room found it hard to explain why they were so on edge at the moment. In fact, today is what he and his wife have been looking forward to for a long time.They have imagined and simulated the scene when this moment comes countless times in their minds.Even before heading out, the couple rehearsed against the air for a while, hoping to be flexible about the possibilities that would arise for a while—but even so, when they actually sat in the hospital reception room, waiting for the doctor to bring the man When they came in, the couple were still nervous and unable to hold themselves together.Their hearts were beating wildly, and both of them kept their mouths tightly shut, as if their hearts would pop out of their throats as soon as they opened their mouths.

Calm down, Wang Xingyu said to himself in his heart, otherwise he will lose his composure in a while.He tried to breathe a sigh of relief slowly, turned his head to his wife Dong Lin beside him, trying to persuade her to relax a little bit, but after seeing his wife's face stiffened by tension, he realized that all the persuasion was just for nothing. In vain, he swallowed the words that had come to his lips. The female doctor sitting across from the middle-aged couple realized that if she didn't say anything, the air in the room would freeze like a stone and fall down.She said in a relaxed and soft tone as much as possible: "Don't be too nervous, since Dr. Nie invited you, he must be sure, so...you don't have to worry too much."

Wang Xingyu nodded at the female doctor, trying to force out what he thought was a smile. At this time, the door of the reception room opened. The couple held their breath at the same time. Walking in front was a gentle and refined male doctor of about forty years old. He stepped into the door first, then patted the shoulder of the person behind him, and said in an encouraging tone: "Come in, there is nothing to worry about—record Stop what I just told you." The man standing at the door hesitated for a few seconds before walking in. The couple sitting on the bench stood up together. When their eyes met the girl in her twenties, a pair of invisible hands tightly grabbed their internal organs.

It's still the same as before—beautiful, watery, delicately crafted features are cleverly inlaid on this face, and the face without makeup reveals an irresistible natural beauty.The blue and white hospital gown was worn on her body, but it didn't look plain, on the contrary, it had a clear spirit like a lotus flower.She was so natural and generous, but her eyes looked a little melancholy - but all of this was exactly as the couple remembered.Dong Lin's tears fell all at once, and she covered her mouth with trembling hands, trying hard not to let herself cry out. The male doctor signaled the couple not to get too excited with his eyes, and gestured for them to sit down, and then arranged the girl to sit on a leather chair in front of them.He stood behind the girl himself, put his hands lightly on her shoulders, bent down and asked softly, "Jingwen, do you remember who they are?"

The girl's eyes scanned the two people in front of her, full of confusion, she frowned slightly, and turned her head to look at the doctor in confusion.The male doctor said to her gently: "Don't worry, think about it, do you recognize them?" Under the doctor's encouraging gaze, the girl turned her head to face the two again.She quietly observed their faces, and saw that their somewhat old faces were filled with various thoughts: sadness, expectation, concern, and worry.When her eyes collided with the anxious eyes of the middle-aged woman, a thread seemed to be pulled in her mind.The anxious look on the woman's face seemed to awaken some memory in her, an expression she had seen many times before.The girl gradually opened her mouth, and the voice rolled in her throat:

"I...remember..." The couple turned into two plaster statues, staring motionlessly at the girl's mouth, as if waiting for some kind of verdict.Air bypasses their nostrils.The male doctor behind him and the female doctor beside him also stared at the girl closely. The girl moved her lips half-opened and half-closed, and finally called out to Dong Lin with difficulty: "...Mom." She turned to Wang Xingyu, and called out again hesitantly: "...Dad." Wang Xingyu tightly grasped his wife's hand with all his might.Dong Lin didn't feel any pain at all.Now, apart from excitement and joy, they don't allow any other feelings to interfere.They were so excited that they wanted to say yes, but they were unable to speak. After a long while, Dong Lin stretched out her hand tremblingly to caress that beautiful face, crying uncontrollably: "Jingwen, Jingwen...you are really well...can you remember?" Since my parents are here..."

The two doctors were also happy for them, and they looked at each other.They looked at each other and smiled. Wang Xingyu stood up excitedly, held the male doctor's hand, and said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Doctor Nie! It's all thanks to you that Jingwen can recover like this. I really don't know how to thank you That's good!" "This is what we should do." Doctor Nie said with a smile. "Then..." Wang Xingyu said anxiously, "According to what you told us before, since Jingwen is completely recovered and has recognized us, can we go through the discharge procedures now and take her back home?" Home?"

Dr. Nie glanced at Wang Jingwen beside him, then turned his gaze back, and stared at Wang Xingyu: "It is reasonable to say that it is possible, but before that—Mr. Wang, let's go out and talk." After going out, Dr. Nie closed the door, and stood in the corridor with Wang Xingyu talking: "Mr. Wang, as you just saw—Wang Jingwen's current condition proves that the series of treatments we have given her in the past five years have been quite successful. After our long-term observation, we found that in the past year, she has indeed In other words, Wang Jingwen's current mentality, emotion, and behavior are basically the same as normal people. According to the regulations of our hospital, if the patient has returned to normal, his (her) relatives can Take them home and live the lives of ordinary people. So, I called you yesterday, please come over today. And just now, Jingwen also recognized you very quickly-this is exactly what we imagined before The best situation for her. As her attending physician, I am sincerely happy for Jingwen and for you.”

Wang Xingyu blushed, and kept nodding. Doctor Nie paused for a moment, raised his head, looked straight at Wang Xingyu, and said with a serious expression: "But Mr. Wang, before you take Wang Jingwen home, I want to tell you a few important things. Please be sure to Keep it firmly in mind.” Wang Xingyu looked at the serious Doctor Nie, and felt the importance of what he said next from his eyes.He nodded seriously. "Okay, doctor." "First, I can tell that you and your wife are very happy today. Of course, Wang Jingwen is very happy to be able to return to her present state, but—" Dr. Nie hesitated a little, "I I still have to remind you, after all, she is a very special patient... I believe you will never forget the incident five years ago..."

Having said that, Dr. Nie glanced at Wang Xingyu.Sure enough, even though it had been so long, as soon as this incident was mentioned, Wang Xingyu's face immediately turned pale, his eyes showed a look of panic, as if his throat was choked by a pair of big hands of fear.For a moment, Dr. Nie didn't know whether to continue talking. After a while, Wang Xingyu came out of the memory of fear. He asked cautiously: "But...doctor, didn't you just say that Jingwen has been cured? Isn't she no different from a normal person?" "Yes, it seems to be the case at present. But you have to understand that even if a person with a history of mental illness is cured successfully, there is still the possibility of relapse—ah, of course..." Dr. Nie saw Wang Xingyu's astonished expression Looking at her expression, she hurriedly comforted her, "As long as she doesn't get any stimulation and keeps taking the medicine, the possibility of relapse is very low, so you don't need to worry too much."

Wang Xingyu nodded slightly.His face softened a little. "So, this is the first thing I want to tell you. After Wang Jingwen goes home with you, I will continue to prescribe some calming and reassuring medicines for her. I will prescribe it for three months first, and after three months, when you arrive I come here, and I will decide how much to increase or decrease according to her specific situation at that time. Remember, these medicines must be taken every day, and you have to tell her to take medicine before going to bed every night, remember?" Wang Xingyu nodded quickly, not daring to take it lightly. "The second thing is also very important." Dr. Nie kept looking into Wang Xingyu's eyes. "As I said just now, Wang Jingwen is a very special patient. The root cause of her illness is the terrible accident that happened five years ago. Therefore, in order to make her completely get rid of the psychological shadow caused by that incident, after discussing with Dr. Qin, I decided to implement "forgetting therapy" on her. We think that maybe only this method can make her completely forget the past period Horror experience, so as to get a 'new life' - it turns out that this kind of treatment we have adopted is quite effective, otherwise, you would not see Wang Jingwen like this today." "Yes, Dr. Nie, you have mentioned this 'forgetting therapy' to Jingwen before. That's why you asked me and her mother not to visit her in the mental hospital for five years—are you afraid? After seeing us, she remembered...'that incident'..." Wang Xingyu tried his best to control his emotions, but he couldn't help shivering, and his voice trembled, "In this case, the treatment for her unfavorable……" "That's right, that's it. We used all means, including hypnosis, psychological suggestion, drug control and other methods to achieve a goal - to make her forget the terrible thing five years ago, as well as the people and things related to it — we finally did it, and now she can't remember anything about 'that'." "Then...why does she still remember us?" Wang Xingyu asked hesitantly. "She really forgot all of you at one time." Dr. Nie said, "But after all, you are not directly related to 'that incident', and you are her very important relatives, so with our help, She just remembered you again." Wang Xingyu nodded thoughtfully. "Mr. Wang." Dr. Nie emphasized his tone, forcing Wang Xingyu to look up at him, "I don't know if you understand the meaning of what I said - the second thing I want to emphasize to you is: The focus of Wang Jingwen's treatment is to 'start over'. So, after you go home, you should do everything possible to avoid reminding her of the past - never talk to her about any topic related to 'that incident', And don't bring up any memories of that in her - you know, if you remind her of 'that', things can get really bad, even..." "Even what...doctor?" Wang Xingyu asked in fear. After thinking about it for a while, Dr. Nie said honestly: "I don't dare to infer the specific consequences... I have never encountered this kind of situation before... However, as long as you follow the two points I said, you will be fine. These things don't happen, understand?" Wang Xingyu nodded again and again: "Actually, we have also considered this issue. So my mother and I bought a new house in the new district, just to let her change to a new living environment and 'start over' everything." "That would be the best." Dr. Nie nodded slightly, "The last point, I hope you will keep in touch with me frequently, and let me know about Wang Jingwen's recent situation at any time—especially. If she behaves abnormally, you must inform me immediately, or send her here immediately, remember !" After saying this, Dr. Nie took out a business card from the pocket of his overalls and handed it to Wang Xingyu: "There is my office phone number and my mobile phone number on it, please keep it." "Okay." Wang Xingyu took the business card with both hands and glanced at it.It says: Songshan Psychiatric Hospital, associate professor, Nie Leng.Below are the various contact methods. After Wang Xingyu put away his business card, Dr. Nie seemed to remember something again: "Mr. Wang, you said just now that you were going to bring Wang Jingwen to live in your new home? Is the phone number of your new home the one I called yesterday?" "Oh, no." Wang Xingyu was startled, then sighed, "You are really careful. The call you made yesterday was the landline in my old house—we have only lived in our new house since today." "Then you leave me a landline number of your new home, and a mobile phone number." "Okay, okay." Wang Xingyu agreed again and again, and took out a small note from his pocket, "I didn't print my business card, just write it on this piece of paper." Dr. Nie took the paper and put it away carefully. Next, Wang Xingyu went through the discharge procedures for Wang Jingwen, and half an hour later, everything was in order.Dong Lin walked out holding Wang Jingwen's arm.Wang Jingwen's patient uniform has been replaced with a beautiful green dress, making her look even more youthful and beautiful.The two doctors sent the family to the gate of the hospital, and the couple thanked them again. When saying goodbye, Wang Jingwen seemed a little reluctant. Standing in front of the two doctors who had been with her for five years, she felt various complicated feelings in her heart.Especially Dr. Nie, Wang Jingwen looked at him for a long time, expressing her gratitude and attachment to him with her eyes. Seeing that Wang Jingwen was still refusing to leave, Nie Leng stepped forward, touched Wang Jingwen's head lovingly like a brother, and said gently: "Go, Jingwen, the outside world is waiting for you, and there is something for you there." Xintiandi." Finally, Wang Jingwen forgot to look at Nie Leng, turned around, and got into the back seat of the car where her father had already opened the door.The car slowly left Songshan Psychiatric Hospital. Nie Leng stared at the figure of the car leaving far away, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.Doctor Qin lightly touched him with his elbow: "Doctor Nie, what are you still thinking about?" Nie Leng turned his head to look at his colleague, and sighed worriedly: "I was thinking, is it really the right decision for us to let Wang Jingwen return to her relatives?" Doctor Qin reminded: "Doctor Nie, we are just a psychiatric hospital, not a prison. After the patient is cured, shouldn't he go back to live an ordinary life?" Nie Leng said bewilderedly: "The truth is correct, but I... am always a little scared." "afraid of what?" "I'm afraid..." Nie Leng looked worried, "The incident five years ago will happen again. Think about it, if Wang Xingyu and his wife can't handle certain things well..." "Doctor Nie." The words were interrupted by Doctor Qin, Nie Leng turned to look at her in confusion: "What's wrong?" "Please...don't bring up that matter again, okay?" Doctor Qin covered his mouth with one hand, as if desperately trying to restrain himself from vomiting, "Just think of it for me." Nie Leng looked at her suspiciously, not knowing how to understand. "I'm not married yet, Dr. Nie. I live alone in a single apartment." The young female doctor explained with a horrified expression, "Please don't remind me of such horrible things... I don't want to have nightmares at night." Nie Leng understood, he didn't speak any more, but just looked forward, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
