3 Let Brother's Lady Luck Smile On Him

Inside the guest room, a completely displeased Master Lu was roaring over the cellphone.

Master Lu exclaimed, " What do you mean, he is unavailable? I don't care about business. Tell him to return as soon as possible. Do you understand?"

[ I understand. I'll immediately convey your orders.]

"Good, now don't make me dial your number again. Got it?"

[Yes, Father.]

Initially, Lu Jun-hui attempted to resolve the upcoming trouble but soon he gave up. He sat on office chair idly deciding how to convey the message. His brother's work ethics obviously doesn't allow nor he tolerates any kind of interruption doing business.

Sigh, of all times, why does this have to happen now...

He can only sigh and urged to God, please let my brother's lady luck smile on him so that he'll be fine too.

...

Grandma Li entered the guest room with a disheartened expression. From the conversation, she understood, who Master Lu was shouting at and why.

Master Lu greeted her as she nodded in response.

Elder Li asked the Doctor's: "When will she woke up?"

Doctor: "Last night, Li Na had a PTSD attack. Precisely, she'll wake up in a day or two. It depends on how she takes that and how strong she is... I mean her psychological strength. Surprisingly, her brain functional was recovering rapidly. She'll be fine physically. But..."

Worriedly, Master Lu question: "But, What?"

Doctor: "Mentally, Li Na had been on antidepressants for a long period thus she's totally addicted to them. After waking up, I think it'll be necessary to keep her under examination or worst in rehab for a while. Because her body still needed those drugs. And once she became fully conscious her nervous system will be demanding drugs."

Elder Li: "Can't you suppress it?"

Doctor: "Madam Li, there are ways to do that, but it can be dangerous to use under Li Na's condition. I suggest to, keep her away from drugs and try to keep her happy. Although we'll conduct a cerebral exam to understand her mental state. It totally depends on her response. What if she tries to attempt the suicide again? Then it could be more disastrous."

Elder Li seemed to be aware of the happenings, simultaneously she was hesitant to make a decision which could solve the problem without being fatal. Beside her, therapy was ineffective. The discussion continued for nearly an hour.

After considering everything, Elder Li looked like she had taken the decision then without hesitating she said, " Then Erase Li Na's past memories?"

Everyone was shocked. Yes, with the advanced science it is possible to erase or cut out the person's memories permanently. The most popular method was the ECT(Electro-Convulsive Therapy) in which small electric currents are passed through the brain, intentionally triggering a brief seizure. It's used for mentally ill patients. And it could be risky.

Elder Li knew her granddaughter was suffering from psychotic depression, symptoms such as hallucinations, delusion(false believing), and paranoia; wrongly believing that others are trying to harm.

Sometimes Li Na's mood episodes range from extremes of high energy with an 'up' mood to low 'depressive' periods.

That's why Li Na used to lock herself for several weeks and then suddenly goes out partying fiercely. It was difficult to guess her mental state. She looked fine yet completely broken. This was the result of her constant heartbreak from an early age.

Its exactly like some people know what's wrong with them but don't want to be fixed. They drag their broken heart endlessly until it became unbearable and lastly commit suicide.

Looking at the shock and hesitant faces, Elder Li said, "She's my granddaughter and I can make decisions for her."

"Sorry to interrupt but she is my responsibility." Just then Lu Jianjun walked into the room freezing the atmosphere.

Master Lu was shocked to see his son.

Isn't he was aboard? How did arrived so shortly?

Lu Jianjun had been attending business meetings. In- between his tight schedule, he returned to the country when got reported Li Na's condition. He and Lu Jun-hui work separately, where Lu Jainjun attends important deals and Lu Jun-hui learning to walk on his brother's footstep.

Due to the time constraint, Lu Jianjun barely had any time to rest from the long flight. Right after landing, he went straight to the company. After the board meeting, shortly he delayed his pact schedule for visiting the hospital. The moment Lu Jianjun arrived he heard Elder Li's resolution.

Elder Li looked over Lu Jianjun's seriously grave expression.

Master Lu raised his voice, " Lu Jianjun, now you feel responsible for her? You haven't seen her once until and how could you claim her to be your responsibility. This is how you took care of her she almost died there."

Lu Jainjun stood in front of Elder Li staring with firm eyes.

He replied calmly, "You have sold Li Na to me. so she's my burden."

Master Lu was stunned. What does he mean?

But mostly he was raged at his straightforwardness, Elder Li is a renowned and very respectable lawyer for the selfless works, Master Lu yelled, "Lu Jianjun, this is how you talk to elders?"

While Elder Li looked tongue-tied, that was too straight forward. She couldn't deny the fact.

Lu Jianjun didn't look bothered at all.

Frustrated, Elder Li replied: "Yes, she was your property earlier but now, that she got a new life. So, you don't hold any authority anymore."

Lu Jianjun's eyes darkened like a warning.

Don't make me do this!

He never wanted to hold any authority over anybody but sometimes that's the only way you can deal with some people. The next second, Lu Jianjun glanced at his assistant, Ethan, got the order as he immediately pulled out the contract papers.

Botherless, Lu Jianjun sat on the single chair sofa as the Doctor's team left hurriedly.

Elder Li: "Lu Jianjun, are you trying to threaten me?"
