Gong Jie immediately picked up the bowl and scooped a mouthful of millet porridge. He brought it close to her mouth and coaxed, “Eat a little, just a little…”
Her lips parted slightly, but she did not respond.
Gong Jie looked at Mu Yazhe helplessly.
For the first time, Mu Yazhe saw the man at a loss.
“Still not eating.”
Mu Yazhe remarked.
Gong Jie nodded.
“She hasn’t eaten for a few days, and only drank a little water. The nutrient solution alone is far from adequate to sustain nutrition!”
As Gong Jie spoke, he looked at Yun Shishi’s sharpened chin with heartache. She had not eaten for the past few days and the weight loss was showing on her face.
In the past, she was the classic oval-faced beauty. Although her chin was very narrow, she didn’t have a very wide forehead, she was beautiful and charming.
She was thin to begin with, and now she had lost a lot of weight.
Gong Jie was worried that if she continued to resist eating, she would become anorexic.
The doctor would come to the ward every day to check on her. As she had not eaten for a few days, the doctor was concerned and said that if this went on, she could get anorexia as a worst case scenario. The most immediate consequence, though, would be a prolonged period of nutritional imbalance that halt the development of the fetus, resulting in miscarriage.
The doctor advised them to think of a way to persuade her to eat.
Right now, she was only mentally resistant to eating, or perhaps she had been overly agitated and went into an emotional limbo and for this reason had no concept of eating.
The unforeseen events that had happened over the past few days were truly crushing for her.
Gu Xingze’s death, then the lost of her sight, she had no time to cope with the changes.
Typically, such patients who have suffered a major psychological blow would feel conflicted and even repulsed by most things.
They may be repulsed by food intake, interacting with others, or just the world in general.
Their hearts are already shrouded in darkness.
However, when will this darkness go away? Whoever started the trouble should be the one who end it.
However this person was no longer around.
The doctor was helpless.
While physical illnesses are easy to treat, mental illnesses are difficult to cure.
It was not as if they had not tried psychological intervention. But no matter how experienced the psychiatrist was, she simply did not react to the person.
After losing her sight, she seemed to have lost her ability to sense the world.
She seemed to have lost her ability to hear as well.
The psychiatrist said that she had closed the door to the entire world.
She had locked himself in the fortress and built a tall wall around it, so that no one could enter.
The doctor told them to try and feed her, otherwise, the situation would be bleak.
Be it Youyou, Little Yichen, Gong Jie, or even Mu Yazhe, they were all locked out.
Mu Yazhe walked to the bedside and took over his job.
He took the bowl and brought a spoonful of porridge to her mouth.
“Shishi, please eat something. Even a bite would be good!”
Yun Shishi stared at him in a daze, but her empty eyes were clearly not looking at him. It was as if she was looking through him. It was impossible to say what she was staring at exactly, and even more impossible to guess at what she might be thinking!
A sense of helplessness and panic filled his heart.
Mu Yazhe said hoarsely, “Do you have to torture yourself like this to be satisfied? Do you think Gu Xingze wants to see you like this?!”
“…”
“Do I have to beg you?”
