Maybe I’ve grown a bit old, and I can’t forget the reluctance of those days, ultimately letting myself be immersed in it and unable to forget!

After the doctor treated Ran Zhihan, he thought she had been extremely stimulated to become like this. Is it because her husband and son were arguing here that he felt that tight string on his nerves suddenly snapped, making him unable to accept it? Would the situation be better if they weren’t here?

Zhang Yichen was very worried that his wife might have another incident. He’s most worried now about his own disposition; he no longer has the energy to handle so many things and is slowly pushing everything aside.

If something really unexpected happens to his wife again, he truly wouldn’t know what to do. He has already given up many businesses, and for his wife’s sake, he has left all family affairs and company matters behind. If there’s really another incident, how could he justify all those sacrifices? Would all the things he painstakingly built turn to dust in an instant?

If that’s really how it is, how could I be willing? The things I’ve struggled to create over so many years turned to ashes in a moment; no matter what, I cannot let that happen, nor can I be resigned.

"Doctor, how is my wife? How did she suddenly get like this?"

"Regarding your wife’s situation, we don’t know how to explain it either. It might be that she suddenly received some kind of stimulation or is under too much pressure, or possibly because the tight string in her mind suddenly snapped, making her unable to accept it, which led to such actions. You should think carefully about what you said in the ward or did that might have stimulated her. If you leave the hospital for a while and not stay here all the time to care for her, would things be different? 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

If your presence here is causing the patient such emotional agitation, leading to abnormal behavior, it only proves that family members are not suitable to be here now to visit the patient. Perhaps staying longer will only bring uncontrollable consequences to the patient. If you truly wish for your family member to recover soon, you might try other ways to care for and accompany her. Her depression is getting more severe!

Family members should be mentally prepared, as she might stay depressed for life without any way to return to her previous normal state. If you want her to recover, you might try other treatment plans, but the current plan isn’t suitable anymore. Because of your presence, her emotions are overly stimulated, leading to repeated extreme behaviors. I’m not certain what means she’ll use next to harm herself or attack others. Such actions only cause damage to everyone and don’t bring peace to anyone.

Surely you have seen today; she has already turned into what she is now. This method, therefore, has no reason to justify continued treatment. She’s becoming insane and doesn’t know whether what she’s doing is right or wrong. She’s forgotten what she should do to change this outcome.

Currently, in her mind, she doesn’t recognize anyone. There is only a single thought: to attack others, and self-destruct. Only through repeatedly harming herself does she feel the world is fair. Her consciousness is fading, and she might develop schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s. If things continue like this, her condition will worsen rather than lessen. I hope you consider other treatment options seriously. If you insist on conservative treatment, we can only suggest transferring her to another hospital or mental hospital for psychiatric care, where she’ll receive specialized treatment. Our medical skills here are limited and unable to control this ongoing deterioration."

Zhang Ni didn’t expect that simply by saying a few words with his father there, it would stimulate his mother. Why has she become so fragile, unable to withstand the slightest hint of stress? A casual remark might cause her mental collapse. What did she experience to suppress herself so severely, and how immense must her pressure have been to reveal all her inner fears so unexpectedly?

Thinking about it, what have I done as a son? I’ve never cared for my mother or been by her side, letting her become this way. How can I be better than my father? What right do I have to criticize him? At least he stayed with my mother, giving her a sense of security, while I, as her son, was never around. Since young, I underwent severe training, abandoning my mother to face all the pressure alone.

Perhaps my mother turned out this way. All the blame should fall on me. If I had given more thought to my mother’s wellbeing and considered what to do for her, things wouldn’t be as they are now. I turned everything into this situation myself. What should I do to prevent my family from receiving different treatments repeatedly? How can I allow my family to live happily, time and time again? None of my actions are right. I’ve repeatedly only harmed my mother; others don’t care about me. Only my mom has cherished me repeatedly like her precious gem, but what have I done?

"Dad, you can focus on your business in the future. I’ll always think of how to care for my mom. No matter how she turns out, I’ll stay by her side and never leave her. Perhaps what she needs most is my company as her son!"

Missing someone is like a door that won’t shut tight. Otherwise, why does it always ache when I close my eyes, yet I’m unable to forget?
