Chapter 377 Self-harm Tendency

The private doctor was a refined man in his fifties, wearing elegant black-rimmed glasses, and he liked to squint slightly when looking at things.

Does your husband have a sleep disorder?

When Su Youling heard the words "your husband," she instinctively paused for a moment. In fact, back in the Li Mansion, she was the rightful Mrs. Li, but she had never heard the family doctor address Li Tingxi like that before.

At first, some snobbish servants were even unwilling to call her 'Madam' because they knew that Li Tingxi didn't care about her and always bullied her, openly and secretly.

At first, she was new to the place and endured everything. Later, those people became even more outrageous, which made her unable to bear it any longer. She gathered a group of people and dealt a heavy blow to several ringleaders. She found out from the surveillance footage that those people were lazy and greedy and took the master's property. She directly called the police and had them arrested.

You should know that those servants were not ordinary; they were all sent over by the old mansion. In a TV series, they would be respected and powerful old nannies.

The incident caused quite a stir at the time. Many people were afraid of Su Youling's methods and dared not make any more small moves. However, some bold people were not convinced and went to the old house to complain.

Her adoptive mother-in-law was naturally eager to seize the opportunity to give her a good beating. If physical punishment hadn't attracted the police, she probably would have been beaten on the spot.

Of course, Madam Li's methods didn't stop there.

She forced someone to work as a maid in the old house for a whole day and night, claiming she didn't understand the hardships of being a maid, and wouldn't allow anyone to help.

Finally, Su Youling remembered that she fainted in the old house.

I'm so tired I could faint.

When I woke up again, I was in the Li Mansion.

Li Tingxi is back, and all the servants in the house have disappeared.

He didn't defend those people anymore, nor did he hold them accountable. He simply told her to hire a few more capable servants to help her.

That was the first time she had felt the human side beneath Li Tingxi's cold exterior.

Although he still appeared cold, indifferent, and even irritable,

She remains grateful; perhaps her initial attraction stemmed from these small moments.

Love arises without warning, and deepens with time.

After so many years of entanglement and complicated relationships, so many years have passed.

They still got back together.

"Madam? Are you still listening?" The private doctor noticed that Su Youling was lost in thought and wondered if she had suddenly become deaf.

"Sorry, I was just spacing out." Su Youling snapped back to reality, her gaze immediately falling on Li Tingxi. "He has very poor sleep and often has headaches. It seems he's still taking medication. However, I don't know exactly what kind of medication it is, but whenever he has a headache, he seems to be in a very bad state and his temper becomes very irritable."

Although Li Tingxi didn't say it, after observing him for so many days and combining it with some guesses, she knew that Li Tingxi's physical condition was at least not as normal as he appeared.

“That makes sense then. He should be…” The private doctor paused, then belatedly added, “Isn’t he your husband?”

How come you don't even know what medicine the patient is taking?

He came over late at night and saw the two of them staying together. The patient kept clinging to the beautiful woman, and subconsciously assumed that the two were a couple.

They're probably still newlyweds in the throes of new love.

Now, I'm not so sure anymore.

"Yes, we used to be." Su Youling walked to the bedside and tucked the blanket around Li Tingxi. "We were divorced, but we're back together now, right?"

Is it really that complicated?

The relationship between these two is truly full of twists and turns.

However, now that they're back together, they're family.

Private doctors are serious and strict

He said solemnly, "His condition is very bad. It is likely that his insomnia and headaches are caused by long-term anxiety. As for the severity and cause of the headaches, and whether there are any other hidden symptoms, he needs to go to the hospital for a detailed physical examination."

"He should have been taking medication all along, not just for insomnia, but also for mental health, which involves a more specialized field, so I can't make any rash conclusions."

“Generally, in his case, there must be a serious unresolved issue in his mind, and he is subconsciously torturing himself. Unless the source of his pain and anxiety can be found and gradually guided and relieved, his mental world is likely to collapse over time.”

"The medication is only suppressing the symptoms now, and taking it all the time is very harmful to the body. If I'm not mistaken, he may also engage in self-harm when his condition is severe."

"What!" Su Youling's expression changed, and she subconsciously grabbed Li Tingxi's wrist and examined it from all angles. It was smooth and new, and there was nothing unusual about it.

If it's not on the wrist, then where is it?

Before she could begin to peel off her clothes, the doctor quickly stopped her, saying, "Ahem, I'm just guessing. Generally, if a self-inflicted wound isn't deep and has been there for a long time, it's normal for it not to be visible. Besides, the patient probably wouldn't create any wounds that are exposed."

Su Youling paused, her heart sinking. "What should I do? He... he's very stubborn, he won't tell me these things."

Li Tingxi has his pride. Even though he is willing to make endless concessions, be tolerant and show weakness towards her because of love and guilt, his personality has not changed and his bottom line has never changed.

When it comes to truly sensitive topics, he still doesn't say a word.

For example, his illness.

The doctor sighed, "Now that you're back together, and the patient seems to have a deep emotional dependence on you, perhaps only you can help him emerge from the shadow of mental illness and be reborn."

This was also an exception made by the doctor when he told Su Youling this.

#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!

There are so many reasons.

Logically speaking, since they haven't remarried and aren't even considered family, this information shouldn't have been leaked to Su Youling out of professional ethics.

However, besides his professional instincts, he was also a man and could see the root of the patient's psychological problems, which most likely lay in the person in front of him.

If we can lend a hand, we will.

"Thank you, doctor, I understand." Although Su Youling knew that Li Tingxi's condition was not good, she did not expect it to be this serious.

Self-harm!

She had only heard about it, but had never experienced it herself through people close to her.

She never expected that the first time it would be someone as arrogant and aloof as Li Tingxi. She would never have imagined that he would do something so unbelievable.

After seeing the doctor off, Su Youling, without saying a word, skillfully rummaged around and found a bottle of unfinished medicine in a hidden compartment under the living room sofa.

I took a picture and sent it to the doctor, and I got a reply not long after.

Take him to the hospital as soon as possible; we can't delay any longer.

Su Youling's expression tightened, she gritted her teeth and rushed back to the room, quickly stripping off Li Tingxi's clothes and groping him from head to toe.

There is no front view.

There are none on the sides either.

Could it be behind us?

That would be quite difficult to do, wouldn't it?

Su Youling breathed a sigh of relief. The doctor said it was just a guess. Maybe Li Tingxi wasn't seriously injured to the point of self-harm.

Just then, Li Tingxi seemed to feel uncomfortable and wanted to turn his back.

As he rolled over, a faint scar was revealed on the inside of his thigh.

"Don't move!" Su Youling grabbed his leg, her fingers trembling, her eyes instantly turning red. "Li Tingxi, are you crazy?"
