Chapter 275 - Tough Step (Part-1)

Mo Jiang had never talked to her in such a cold manner.

Did something happen?

Liu Juan wanted to ask him but he cut her off and said first. "Unless you don't plan to talk about your past, don't bother to call me." With those words, Mo Jiang hung up.

"Hello...Jiang. Hello..."

Mo Jiang's words were a shock to her and she wanted to stop him but he had already cut the phone call. 

She called him again but he didn't pick up. Nevertheless, she didn't give up and continued to call him in a hope that Mo Jiang would give in like he always did.

However, not this time.

Seeing that she was calling him continuously, he blocked her number.

Liu Juan immediately panicked upon seeing Mo Jiang's coldness towards her all of a sudden.

Something must have happened; otherwise, Mo Jiang wouldn't say those words to her.

Liu Juan didn't know who the people were whom Mo Jiang had appointed to keep any eye on her. Otherwise, she would have gone to ask them, but there was a person who could help her to know what had happened to Mo Jiang.

And that person was Zhou Xuiye.

Hence, Liu Jaun immediately left her room to look for Zhou Xuiye.

But…

"Juan, I don't know what happened to Mo Jiang and I won't help you to find it. Also, from now onwards, please don't come to my office unless you are ready to speak about your past. Don't forget you are a patient and I am your doctor and you are here only for the treatment." Zhou Xuiye also gave her a cold reply.

"But we are friends, aren't we?" Liu Juan asked. She couldn't understand why Mo Jiang and Zhou Xuiye were acting distant from her out of the blue.

Did she do something to offend them?

Not that she remembered anything.

Then what had happened?

"No. We are not." Zhou Xuiye sternly replied which sank Liu Juan's heart. 

Zhou Xuiye continued further. "I have just been friendly with you so that you can cooperate with me for your treatment but since you seem to like this place very much and plan to stay for the lifetime, I don't want to bother to be friendly with you and waste my time on you anymore. After all, I have other patients and each one is paying me very well. So, tell me why should I waste my time on a silly friendship?"

Liu Juan couldn't believe what she had heard. She stared at Zhou Xuiye unwaveringly to see if she was joking but it didn't look like it at all.

So Zhou Xuiye was really putting on an act, and here, she was believing that she had found a friend.

Really she was so naive or one could say, in an appropriate word, 'stupid'.

Liu Juan stood on the spot for a while but she still couldn't find the words to say or scold Zhou Xuiye for playing with her emotions.

However, if she thought thoroughly then she would realize, it was her fault that she believed people very easily after getting along with Mo Jiang.

So there was nothing to retort or shout.

"Knock…" 

At that, a knock heard from the door which brought back Liu Juan to her senses.

"Come in." Zhou Xuiye said in a sweet voice while she turned to Liu Juan and said coldly. "If you don't have something important to say, please leave. I have other patients to treat."

At that moment, a young lady walked in and Zhou Xuiye walked towards her. "Ms. Su, how are you now? Do you feel any discomfort after last night's session?" Zhou Xuiye talked in the same friendly way in which she used to talk with Liu Juan.

Liu Juan smiled bitterly and left Zhou Xuiye's office silently. 

Whereas, Zhou Xuiye's smile disappeared when Liu Juan left her office.

Zhou Xuiye didn't want to hurt Liu Juan; she really considered her as a friend. However, she couldn't overlook her duty. She was a doctor and Liu Juan was her patient and there was an unspoken rule for a doctor that you couldn't be friends with your patients. If you do, you will lose your patient as well as your friend.

After that, Liu Juan didn't go looking for Zhou Xuiye but the bad things didn't stop there.

Zhou Xuiye refused to give Liu Juan sleeping pills and canceled all her sessions as well.

Now the session would only start once Liu Juan was ready to speak about her past.

But she wasn't.

So there was no need for Zhou Xuiye to waste her time on Liu Juan. Mo Jiang also stopped calling her, leaving Liu Juan was all alone again.

As a result, Liu Juan's nightmares were back.

She wished somebody would care for her but there was no one, which depressed her badly that she stopped coming out of her room and even stopped eating her food.

One could see that she had lost her d.e.s.i.r.e to live.

Hearing her condition, Mo Jiang couldn't help but rush to the hospital and his fury broke down on Zhou Xuiye. "What the hell is this? You told me this is the only method and look what has happened? Only she doesn't look different than a dead body." 

"Relax I am her doctor, I know what I am doing. I told you it will be tough. You have to trust me." Zhou Xuiye's demeanor was completely calm.

Mo Jiang frustratingly kicked a chair and warned her. "If anything worse happens to her, you can start counting the last minutes of your life."

Instead of being frightened under his threat. She said, "You love her?" It was more like a sentence than a question.

"It is none of your business." Mo Jiang retorted.

"No but do tell her once she is completely healed." Zhou Xuiye said with a smile.

At that time, the door knocked and a nurse entered. "Dr. Zhou, they are here." 

The nurse entered with three men.
