Chapter 104: Little Aunt 0104

Chapter 104

After going back and forth at the hospital all day, the doctor’s final diagnosis was a mental disorder caused by stimulation.

There was no other way for this situation. They could only send her directly to a psychiatric hospital for treatment.

Luo Yi helped contact the psychiatric hospital, and they immediately took her there.

Song Anan, who had not slept all night, could not resist her drowsiness on the road. She leaned on Pei Kuang's shoulder and fell asleep.

When the car arrived at its destination, Pei Kuang did not wake her up either. He gently laid her down on the back seat.

Before getting out of the car, he also opened the window a crack, and only then felt relieved.

After entering the psychiatric hospital, the doctor and professional caregivers took Zhang Man in and arranged a ward for her.

After finishing the procedures, Pei Kuang and Luo Yi sat in chairs outside the ward door.

"Why did you bring auntie here?" Luo Yi asked.

Pei Kuang glanced at him and said lightly, "No reason, she just happened to be there at the time."

Luo Yi snorted coldly, "Don't pretend in front of me. I know you well enough. You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

Pei Kuang lowered his eyes, clasped his hands together and paused for a moment, but did not speak.

Seeing him like this, Luo Yi could not help sighing, but at the same time, he was also very relieved for him.

Mental disorders are a form of mental illness. Once a direct blood relative is diagnosed with mental illness, most people are still very taboo about it.

Especially when there is talk of marriage.

Luo Yi did not believe that Pei Kuang had not thought of this, but he told Song Anan the truth at the first moment of the incident, and even brought her here.

Fortunately, Zhang Man's condition was a mental disorder caused by stimulation. It would not be hereditary.

"What if," Luo Yi turned to look at Pei Kuang and asked, "What if auntie really gets scared away by you? Would you regret it?"

Pei Kuang's gaze fell into the void in the distance, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

This was the first time he was so glad that it seemed Heaven was also on his side.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't know what to do this time.

Luo Yi asked if he would regret it. He didn't know, probably yes.

But even so, he could not have hidden this from Song Anan. He could not ruin her life.

Just now at the hospital, the reason why he had delayed so long was because Pei Kuang had repeatedly confirmed this matter.

Zhang Man had no family history of mental illness. As for why she had become what she was today, it had a lot to do with her own personality issues.

When Zhang Man was young, she married Pei Kuang's father for love, but the dissatisfaction after the marriage made her extremely believe that children and love were shackles trapping her.

So later, she chose Xie WenTao. Even if they could not register their marriage, she still became a rich madam in name.

But Zhang Man was a contradictory person. Deep down, she still felt that she loved Pei Kuang's father.

When Pei Kuang’s father died in a car accident, Zhang Man witnessed the scene with her own eyes. This left a great trauma in her heart.

All of this would have been fine. Although Zhang Man was awkward, she was not on the verge of collapse. But with the bankruptcy of the Xie family, and everything that happened afterwards, she could no longer hold it together.

Just recently, she witnessed another car accident on the road with her own eyes. When she returned home that day, she already behaved abnormally.

Perhaps this was the last straw that broke her.

Song Anan woke up and found herself in the car. But when she saw the entrance of the psychiatric hospital, she gradually realized what was going on.

She got out of the car with her phone, originally wanting to call Pei Kuang first. But afraid that he was busy with the examination, she decided to go in and take a look first.

Song Anan walked into the psychiatric hospital lobby. Just as she was about to ask the front desk, she saw Luo Yi.

"When did you wake up?" Luo Yi asked. "Didn't you call Pei Kuang?"

By the time they returned to City B, it was already evening. After almost a full day and night of chaos, both were exhausted.

The car drove into the residential area.

Pei Kuang looked at Song Anan and said, "Come to my place."

Song Anan was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Go to Linchuan. I have something to talk to you about."

Pei Kuang paused, glanced at Song Anan, and said, "...Okay."

The two did not speak the whole way. After opening the door and entering the house,

Song Anan looked at him calmly and said, "Pei Kuang, you brought me along on purpose today, didn't you?"

Pei Kuang did not seem surprised, as if he had guessed it all along.

The little girl was naive, but not stupid.

There were many things she just didn't want to think about, not that she didn't know about them. If Luo Yi could guess what was going on, there was no reason she couldn't figure it out.

Song Anan pursed her lips as her eyes began to redden, looking like she would burst into tears at any moment.

Seeing her like this, Pei Kuang wanted to go up and hug her, but she dodged him directly.

Song Anan stared stubbornly at Pei Kuang and asked, "So, are you ready to push me away anytime?"

Pei Kuang began to panic. "Anan, let me explain, I didn't..."

"No!" Song Anan choked out, "You did!"

"You think that since I don't really like you that much anyway, it won't hurt me much if you push me away. Maybe soon I'll find out that it was just sympathy all along, not love at all. Isn't that right?"

Pei Kuang hesitated for a moment, then realized what was going on.

She must have heard those words outside the ward today.

This usually eloquent person was at a sudden loss for words.

He opened his mouth. "Anan, I...I'm sorry."

Song Anan could hold back no longer as a stream of tears slid down her cheeks. "What do you have to be sorry about? It's my fault, all my fault. How could I have not noticed at all?"

Ever since they started dating, Pei Kuang had given her a sense of security. Whenever she felt emotionally off, he would be the first to notice and come back to help dispel her concerns.

But why had she never noticed his unease?

In this relationship, Song Anan had never felt like such a failure.

Pei Kuang was completely unprepared for this and didn't know what to do. "No, Anan, this has nothing to do with you. It's me..."

Song Anan didn't care about anything else. She grabbed Pei Kuang's hand and walked towards her room.

She took out the countdown calendar from the bottom of her drawer and handed it to Pei Kuang.

Pei Kuang was stunned for a moment before taking the calendar and seeing the words "Countdown to 18th Birthday" on the cover.

Song Anan gave a quiet sob as she tried to swallow the lump in her throat. "Flip to my birthday."

Although Pei Kuang didn't know Song Anan's intention, he still flipped to May 20th as she requested.

But when he saw the words on that page, he froze.

It read: Happy Birthday to Adulthood, Confession Accomplished!

Pei Kuang seemed to understand something as his Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

Song Anan looked straight at him earnestly. "That's right, I had already fallen for you before I turned 18.

Back then, I didn't know about your family circumstances. There was no question of not being able to distinguish between sympathy and love.

Liking you was the thing I was most certain of in my life.

So you don't need to be anxious about it anymore!"
