The three members of the Bai family came to the hospital. Bai Yang had informed the hospital the day before and the examination was done very quickly. At this moment, Bai Yang was sitting in the office of the attending doctor.

“How is it, Doctor? Do you think my daughter is neuropathic?”

“Your daughter is not considered neuropathic.”

When Bai Yang heard this, he was pleased.

But the doctor raised his hand to signal him not to rush. He adjusted his glasses and continued, “Neuropathy is usually caused by an organic problem in the nervous system, while mental disorder refers to abnormal mental activities in the central nervous system of the brain. Generally speaking, neuropathy is caused by brain lesions, which are caused by trauma, tumors, inflammation, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, and other factors. And mental disorder is mainly caused by high-level nerve activity. But there are no organic problems in the brain.”

Bai Yang felt that the doctor was speaking in riddles, just like his high school math teacher teaching in class. He understood every word he said, but he did not know what it meant when he connected all the words.

If he did not understand, he would ask. Thus Bai Yang asked immediately, “What do you mean by this?”

“It means that your daughter should have a mental disorder.”

Bai Yang was speechless.

“The cause of a mental disorder is very complicated. I suggest you find an opportunity to bring your child to the psychiatric department for a check-up. And when you spend time with her on normal days, you should go along with her as much as possible. Try not to irritate her. You should observe her for some time.”

Bai Yang felt a chill in his heart.

Outside the consultation room, Tao Ran was bored to death while waiting. She wanted to interact more with Bai Jin, but she realized that Xiao Bai was staring straight in one direction sniffing from time to time.

“What are you looking at, Xiao Bai?”

“I’m sniffing,” Xiao Bai answered absent-mindedly.

It was strange. This was supposed to be the best scent she had ever smelled. However, this scent was mixed with a strong rotten smell.

When this fragrant and stinky smell mixed, she could not help but frown. This was like using gutter oil to cook natural treasures; it was such a waste!

“Could it be disinfectant?” Tao Ran asked. She thought Xiao Bai might not have been to the hospital much and did not know that the hospital was filled with such a smell. The disinfectant was used to kill bacteria.

“It’s not disinfectant.”

“It’s not a disinfectant?” Tao Ran muttered in her heart. There was only the smell of disinfectant in the hospital.

She thought that her stepdaughter had a foggy brain and she was always talking nonsense. The hospital had people dying every day. Did she smell a ghost?

Thinking of this, Tao Ran asked while trembling, “X-Xiao Bai, did you smell someone that’s seriously ill and about to die?”

“No.”

Hearing Xiao Bai’s answer, Tao Ran felt relieved. Just as she was about to relax, she saw Xiao Bai turn her head over leisurely.

“You’re thinking too much, Tao Tao. It’s a not normal person’s smell.”

Clang! Tao Ran had goosebumps all over her body. It was fine if Xiao Bai’s brain was not functioning well, but why was it so scary? This hospital too. Why was the air conditioning so cold?

But when she thought that since Xiao Bai’s eyes were damaged, her nose might be particularly sensitive. She consoled herself that perhaps the child had smelled it wrongly.

Xiao Bai didn’t know what Tao Ran had been thinking. She suddenly stood up and walked towards a ward.

Of course, although Tao Ran was afraid, she felt that nothing could happen in broad daylight. She couldn’t leave the child alone to explore, so she followed.

They walked to the door of a ward. Xiao Bai suddenly stopped. It was right here!
