Chapter 264 Heartache

Gradually, I began to suffer from insomnia and couldn't sleep for nights.

After entering the house and sitting in the yard, Bai Yangfan poured a bowl of water for Shawn Yue.

After he drank a few sips and calmed down, I asked him, "Why can't you sleep? Is it related to your kidnapping?"

The hand holding the bowl tightened, and Shawn Yue's body trembled slightly. He remembered that his grandfather said that it was Dr. Bai who called him and said that he was kidnapped.

"Did you see what happened to me that day?"

"Yes!" Bai Yangfan said without hesitation, "I even chased after him. The exit of the alley is a main road, and I didn't know which direction to look, so I called your grandfather. Are you okay? Did they give you any trouble?"

Shawn Yue fell silent, drinking water sip after sip. Even when there was no water in the bowl, he still drank, repeating that simple action like a machine.

Bai Yangfan didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly, waiting for his answer.

For a moment, even the air seemed to be still. Shawn Yue was completely unaware and continued to do what he was doing. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but his whole body was trembling slightly, even the hand holding the bowl was shaking violently.

Judging from the psychology experience I learned in my previous life, Shawn Yue is afraid, very afraid.

What had happened to him? Why did he become so terrified?

No wonder he couldn't sleep. If a person is completely wrapped in extreme fear, it would be strange for him to be able to sleep.

"Shawn Yue! Whatever you went through, it's over." Fearing he couldn't bear the gnawing fear, Bai Yangfan decided to pull him out of his bad mood. "There's no need to dwell on that experience. Those people have probably been caught and thrown into jail by now."

Hearing this, he suddenly put down the bowl in his hand, glanced at Bai Yangfan, closed his eyes, and tried his best to calm himself down and calm the trembling in his body.

"Doctor Bai! I am in pain. I did something inhumane."

"What?" Bai Yangfan was extremely surprised after hearing his words. "You did something inhumane? What did you do? Did you harm a young girl?"

Isn't this what is meant by "non-human matters"? Could there be anything else?

Looking at the exaggerated surprise on her face, Shawn Yue suddenly felt that most of the fear in his body had dissipated.

"Not really." Shawn Yue looked slightly embarrassed. "I'm not that kind of person. I take matters like love very seriously. I would never get involved with anyone other than the woman I love."

"Hmm! That's a good thought process, worth learning." He teased, aiming to put Shawn Yue at ease. "Then what do you mean by 'not human's business'?"

Seeing that he was silent again, Bai Yangfan pressed on, "Is it related to your kidnapping? Did they force you to do something?"

Shawn Yue remained silent and did not answer. Five minutes later, Bai Yangfan sighed, "Your illness is a mental illness. Medication won't be very effective. I'm sure you're familiar with the old saying, 'A disease of the heart needs a medicine of the heart.'"

Your insomnia is related to what you have encountered. If you are unwilling to tell me, you can also find someone you trust to talk to. As long as you say out what is hidden in your heart, your pressure will be much less.

With the intervention of Chinese medicine and acupuncture, it will gradually improve. How about I take your pulse today and see your physical condition first, so as to avoid any embarrassment for you?

He went back to the room, took out the pulse diagnosis instrument and placed it on the table, motioning him to stretch out his hand. Shawn Yue cooperated very well.

After taking his pulse with both hands, Bai Yangfan looked at his tongue coating and told him, "You're not seriously ill. You just have internal heat and an irregular heartbeat. Don't worry! It's nothing serious. I'll prescribe a prescription for you. Take a few doses and see if you feel better. Come back if you feel better. If not, I can't help you."

Sitting there dejectedly, Shawn Yue scratched his scalp, feeling extremely distressed.

Bai Yangfan wrote a prescription and handed it to him, feeling even more distressed. He knew he had a heart disease, but how could he tell the girl in front of him?

If he told the girl everything, would she look down on him?

He held the prescription in his hand, folded it layer by layer, then opened it and continued folding it.

He repeated this action several times. Bai Yangfan sat beside him and watched patiently, not urging him to leave or talking to him, just watching silently.

After a long time, Shawn Yue seemed to have figured it out and asked Bai Yangfan: "Do you think a man who did something wrong under duress deserves forgiveness?"

After thinking for a while, Bai Yangfan said, "That depends on the consequences of what he did."

He paused, then stuffed the prescription, folded into a tofu-like block, into his pocket. "I don't know what the consequences of this incident were, but I know I was wrong. I shouldn't be so useless and shouldn't have compromised."

"Can you tell me the details? I'm willing to be your most loyal listener."

Bai Yangfan knew that Shawn Yue might be willing to tell the story because he couldn't bear the condemnation of his conscience, the insults from those who kidnapped him, and the sleepless nights.

After a moment of silence, Shawn Yue looked up at Bai Yangfan, covered his face, and began to tell the story.

"I was walking down the street that day, and as you can see, I was suddenly hijacked and taken into a car. I didn't know what was happening, but I saw someone put a cloth over my face, and within two minutes, I lost consciousness.

When I woke up, I was in a room. They tied me to a chair with a table in front of me. They gave me a key and asked me to make another one based on that one.”

A key? Make another one? Bai Yangfan was curious. Why did those people kidnap Shawn Yue to make a key? Wasn't he a chemistry major? What did that have to do with making keys?

Seeing the surprise in her eyes, Shawn Yue explained, "I forgot to tell you, our Yu family is a family that has been practicing mechanical engineering. Every descendant of every generation must learn various mechanical engineering techniques. We've been practicing since childhood, and I'm one of the best in this generation."

Mechanical engineering? Bai Yangfan was even more shocked. She opened her lips slightly, a rare moment, and looked at Shawn Yue in front of her. "You said your family has a tradition of mechanical engineering? No wonder your Yu family has stood firm in Kyoto for a hundred years. But this is your family's secret, why are you telling me?"

Staring blankly at the girl in front of him, Shawn Yue smiled bitterly: "Because I trust you. Doctor Bai is a relatively calm person. There are some things I can't tell my family. That would be disrespectful to the Yu family. I can only tell you. I think we should be friends. Doctor Bai shouldn't deny it!"

Bai Yangfan: “······” You have told me your family secrets. Will you agree if I say that I am not familiar with you?
