Chapter 1316 Leave Her Alone? At An Tian’s home.
Early in the morning, even before the runaways could touch his home, the bell of his home rang.
An Tian, who was in a deep sleep, woke up with the sound of the bell and looked at the table clock as he cursed, “Who the hell is disturbing my sleep this early morning?” He stepped out of the bed and went out of the room to welcome his early morning guest.
He opened the door and saw Lu Lijun standing in front of him. “Why was I even surprised?” and opened the door for Lu Lijun to come in and led his way inside.
”Couldn’t you wait for a little more?” An Tian asked as he walked in front of Lu Lijun and went towards the living room.
”Don’t you think I waited enough?” Lu Lijun countered and went to the sofa to sit on it.
”Well, knowing you, you didn’t ask me right then and there was a big surprise for me.”
”She was the priority,” Lu Lijun countered.
”I know,” An Tian said and observed Lu Lijun who had the same clothes from the previous night, the white shirt and black pants which looked wrinkly and it looked like he just set his hair with his hand randomly and ran there to see him.
”Looks like you didn’t sleep at all,” An Tian commented as he tossed a water bottle from the centre table to Lu Lijun.
”You are asking an obvious question. Now don’t ask why I am here,” Lu Lijun countered.
”My brain is not that rusty though I had used most of my brain cells on solving the issues of stubborn Lu people,” An Tian retorted.
”Tell me what’s an issue with her? Why was she like that?” Lu Lijun straightaway jumped to the point as could not wait any longer.
”She is suffering from the pain but it’s not physical. It’s psychological pain,” An Tian replied.
”Psychological pain?” Lu Lijun asked.
”It occurs when your pain is related to underlying psychological, emotional, or behavioural factors.”
Lu Lijun waited for him to explain more.
An Tian continued, “It is associated with feelings of deep sorrow, guilt, anguish, fear, panic, angst, loneliness and helplessness. In her case, all of this applies to her because of what she has gone through ten years back. She didn’t even get a chance to be sad and cry her heart out when so many responsibilities were there for her. She had to suppress it all inside her. She is pitiful,” An Tian said as his face was covered in sadness for her.
With no such expressions, Lu Lijun only listened to him and asked, “How bad is it? Can it be cured?”
”Though it is caused without having any physical injury, it’s more painful than physical pain which we can treat by treating the affected part but this one. Every time she has it, she feels immense pain in her chest and heart especially. It must be really hard to bear with it. Seeing her in that condition you can guess.”
Lu Lijun remembered how painful her expressions looked and she was trying to suppress showing it that she was hurting.
”Since when is she like this? When did it start?”
”After you left for England, I guess the same week she had her first attack,” An Tian answered. “All these things from ten years back have affected her mentally as well as physically. She is weak and not strong at all how she shows herself in front of everyone,” An Tian stood up, “As you are here to know everything, let me get you her file.”
An Tian went to his workroom and from the drawer, he pulled out one file. He came to the living room and passed it to Lu Lijun who was by then searching about psychological pain on his mobile.
An Tian handed over the file to Lu Lijun which had her health record for the entire ten years. It was a quite thick file.
”You can take your time reading it. I hope you will understand lots of things from it,” An Tian suggested. “You can ask me anything that you would like to know.”
Lu Lijun nodded as he looked at the file.
”Other than my reports, there are reports from other doctors. The last documents are the ones from just after the accidents ten years back. I hope it will help,” An Tian said as he had the meaningful look in his eyes that showed he wanted Lu Lijun to go through them for sure.
Lu Lijun looked at him, “Seems like you have prepared this file only for me.”
”Was it a wrong move?” An Tian asked with one eyebrow raised in a question.
”You did well,” Lu Lijun said as he stood up.
He still had a lot to ask about Jiang Yuyan but he first wished to go through this file and know her condition.
”Will she be fine now after what happened last night?” Lu Lijun asked.
”Don’t worry about her. After that pain was gone last night. She must be fine now,” An Tian replied.
Lu Lijun nodded and left An Tian’s home. Thankfully it was the weekend and he didn’t have to go to the office. Now he needed a quiet place where he could go through the file. He could have gone to the office but he chose Lu Feng’s apartment that was empty and his elder brother had asked him to like his own.
Lu Lijun could not wait to go through that file and drove faster towards the apartment.
——
After Lu Lijun left, An Tian had a bath and when he returned, he saw so many calls from Jiang Yuyan. An Tian picked up the cellphone in his hand and looked at Jiang Yuyan’s name on the screen.
”It’s time for you to come out of everything and live a good life. You can blame me for telling him about it but that is the best thing I could do for you.”
Again he received the call from her and he received it. Even before he could say a word, he heard the anxious voice of Jiang Yuyan.
”Where were you, An Tian?”
”I was busy taking care of my morning rituals,” An Tian replied playfully.
Jiang Yuyan ignored him, “Tell me if Lu Lijun came to you.”
”You already know the answer. After seeing you like that, who would he even go to? You see I am the most reliable person,” An Tian replied.
”Reliable? My ass! Don’t tell me you have told him everything.”
”Not everything but explained the part of what he had seen. And please give me a break. He is not a kid who I can just say anything and he will believe. He was not easy even when he was a kid.”
”What did he say?”
”Nothing.”
”Nothing?” she said worriedly.
”Don’t worry. From now on he might not trouble you as what you exactly want.”
”What do you mean?”
”After knowing what you have gone through, won’t he be sensible enough to not trouble you at all and might leave you alone.”
”Leave alone?” Jiang Yuyan mumbled.
An Tian smirked playfully as he knew what he was doing with her- playing with her most sensitive emotions. “Hmm,” An Tian agreed, “Isn’t that you want him to leave you alone and not trouble you.”
After a small pause, she replied, “Hmm! You did well,” and hung up on the call.
An Tian looked at his cellphone after the call was ended and mumbled, “I wonder how will you live if the reason that kept you alive till now plans to leave you.”
——-
Jiang Yuyan hung up the call and sat at the edge of the bed. ‘Leave you alone’ these words from An Tian were ringing in her ears.
She looked lost as he was the reason she was living and was doing everything. What will happen if that reason won’t be in her life anymore. won’t she be lost and have no purpose in life.

Lu Lijun freshened up and got ready in the new set of clothes that belonged to Lu Feng. The first thing he did was to open that file and read it with the focus.
There was a record of Jiang Yuyan’s psychological state from the past ten years and when An Tian started to be her doctor. He read the reports made by An Tian and on the side opened the spare laptop kept on the table that belonged to Lu Feng. He searched the things that were mentioned in the file but were not easy for Lu Lijun to understand.
The first such attack she got was one the same night when Lu Lijun left for England.
”Was she sad because I left?” Lu Lijun questioned himself, “But she was the one to ask me to go.”
