Chapter 282 The Child in the Dream
Chapter 282 The Child in the Dream
The afterglow of the setting sun shines into the ward.
Yun Ning curled up in the quilt, sleeping soundly.
She had a dream that she returned to the car accident scene in East City.
Back to the small clinic where I gave birth to a child and then lost him.
The surroundings were dark, like a depressing black hole, and the small clinic turned into a maze.
The heavy rain was still falling and Yun Ning was shivering from the cold.
She walked aimlessly in the darkness, but couldn't find the exit.
At this time, a beam of light came from not far away.
Yun Ning ran over quickly.
The bright lens was discovered to be a blurry child.
The child was thin and small, and looked lonely and helpless, revealing endless grievances and sadness.
For some reason, Yun Ning subconsciously felt that this child was related to her.
She slowed down her pace and reached out tentatively: "Baby, are you okay?"
The child cried out, "Mom, why don't you come to me? I'm in so much pain."
The childish voice was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Yun Ning's heart, causing her so much pain that she couldn't breathe.
She opened her arms desperately, wanting to hug the child.
But the moment the child entered her arms, he disappeared without a trace like a bubble.
My arms felt empty, without a trace of warmth.
"Child! Don't!"
Yun Ning suddenly opened her eyes.
She sat up, breathing heavily.
I don't know when, but tears had already flowed down my cheeks.
The sunset outside the window gradually sets in the west, and everything is quiet and silent.
Even sadness seems so depressing.
Yun Ning lowered her eyes and counted the days. It had been more than 100 days since her child left her.
Time has passed from midsummer to late autumn.
But the heavy rain on the day the child was born was still pouring down in Yun Ning's world.
The deep sorrow, like a moisture that would never dry up in a lifetime, shrouded her heart forever.
Yun Ning took a deep breath, trying not to let herself fall into the nightmarish memories again.
She got out of bed, put on her slippers, and planned to go out for a walk.
The hospital garden has a unique scenery in autumn.
The ginkgo trees beside the path have turned golden, and their fan-shaped leaves sway gently in the autumn breeze.
The grass gradually lost its summer green and turned a slightly yellowish color.
Several patients or their family members were sitting on the benches in the garden, quietly enjoying the warm autumn sun.
Yun Ning actually saw Shen Xiuyun among these people.
The man sat quietly on the bed chair, his angular face glowing faintly under the caress of the sun.
The amber eyes seemed to hide a little spark of light.
Although he was wearing a hospital gown, he still stood tall and straight, exuding a sense of warmth.
His long fingers were grasping the edge of a book which lay open in his lap.
The breeze blew by, gently ruffling the pages of the book, making a slight rustling sound.
Yun Ning was extremely curious.
Why is Shen Xiuyun reading a book?
Yun Ning walked over and tilted her head to look at him: "What are you doing?"
Shen Xiuyun raised his head and saw that it was Yun Ning, a smile appeared on his lips.
He handed the cover of the book to Yun Ning and said, "I'm reading a book."
Yun Ning took a look and found that it was actually a book on psychology!
She sat next to Shen Xiuyun and asked incredulously, "You are actually reading psychology and psychiatry?"
Shen Xiuyun snorted: "What's there to be curious about? I'm an expert in psychology and psychiatry."
Yun Ning laughed out loud: "Since you are an expert, why are you still living in the psychiatric department here?"
Shen Xiuyun said in an unfathomable way: "Don't you know the saying? A doctor doesn't treat himself."
Yun Ning could only nod in agreement: "Okay, okay, Doctor Shen, what you said makes sense."
"Don't believe it!"
Shen Xiuyun looked at Yun Ning seriously, "Don't think that I am in the psychiatric department and can't cure myself, but I can cure you."
Yun Ning thought he was joking: "So powerful? Then how are you going to treat me?"
Shen Xiuyun put down the book, rubbed his hands and said: "I heard that you have lost your memory for a long time. How about hypnosis first?"
Yun Ning spread her hands and continued to cooperate: "How do you want to urge?"
Shen Xiuyun smiled slightly and took out an exquisite pocket watch from his arms.
Yun Ning looked over.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the pocket watch, reflecting a faint metallic luster.
The watch chain swayed gently in the man's hand, making a slight sound.
Shen Xiuyun asked: "Have you seen this pocket watch?"
Yun Ning nodded: "I see."
"Very good. Now focus all your attention on this pocket watch."
As he spoke, Shen Xiuyun began to shake the pocket watch in his hand.
The exquisite pocket watch drew slow and regular arcs in the air.
Yun Ning obediently looked at the shaking pocket watch, and her eyes gradually became a little blurred.
The heart, which was originally beating rapidly, seemed to slow down along with the rhythm of the shaking pocket watch.
Her breathing gradually became even and smooth, and her body slowly leaned back on the chair behind her.
It was as if the whole world was left with only that shaking pocket watch.
Unconsciously, Yun Ning entered an illusory world.
Shen Xiuyun's voice came from far away, guiding her into a mist composed of memory fragments.
The steamy bathroom, the intertwined bodies, the unignorable heat.
A table full of bloated people, obscene looks, and big hands that force you to drink.
Unreasonable bullying, groundless accusations, and the abuse of being locked in the bathroom.
There was also the hardship of pregnancy, the fear of being pushed into the swimming pool, and the excruciating pain of being covered in blood.
Finally, there was heavy snow and the heartbreak of losing loved ones.
All kinds of sadness and pain poured into Yun Ning's chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
Yun Ning couldn't help but open her mouth and breathe heavily, struggling like a drowning person.
At this moment, the girl's cold hands were held by a pair of warm hands, and a familiar voice came over: "Yun Ning, what's wrong with you?"
It’s Gu Sili!
Yun Ning suddenly opened her eyes and saw Gu Sili's enlarged face.
And Shen Xiuyun, who had just hypnotized her, had disappeared.
Seeing Yun Ning's dazed expression and the slightest beads of sweat on her forehead, Gu Sili immediately pulled her into his arms with concern: "Why are you sweating for no reason?"
Yun Ning did not answer.
He just reached out and touched Gu Sili's face.
This face, which is extremely familiar on weekdays, has a different feeling today.
Yun Ning seemed to be able to see indifference and disdain through this gentle and calm expression.
It was as if this man had looked at her with this expression countless times.
Gu Sili felt more and more strange: "What's wrong?"
"nothing."
Yun Ning rubbed her eyes and didn't tell her about Shen Xiuyun hypnotizing her and then suddenly disappearing. She just asked, "Why did you come back now? Where did you go?"
Gu Sili had a mysterious smile on his face. He took her hand and said, "I'll take you to see someone."
Yun Ning asked curiously: "Who?"
Gu Sili pulled her forward and said, "You'll know when you see me."
