Books are killing me!
According to the plot, she will be sent to a mental hospital in about two hours.
Once she's sent there, her days are numbered.
With a sudden, effortless movement, Fang Yan jumped up from her hospital bed and sat up.
The movement was too sudden, and her body was too weak, with a recent head injury. This jump almost caused her to fall off the bed.
Holding onto the bedside to steady herself, Fang Yan learned from the nurse that her son was being treated in the emergency room.
She took off running towards the emergency room.
She absolutely cannot be sent to a mental hospital.
She has to save herself!
Wherever his son is, Zhang Jizhou will definitely be there too.
Fang Yan knew that the most urgent task was to find Zhang Jizhou and keep him calm.
The original owner's body was in terrible condition.
The county hospital wasn't very big; it was only a short distance, but she was already out of breath from running there.
Just as she was struggling to breathe, she finally saw the door to the emergency room.
What are you doing here?
Before she could catch her breath, the man leaning against the emergency room door shot her cold, deep eyes and asked her in a cold voice.
Looking at his face, a mixture of gloom, regret, and pain, and recalling the nurse's words, Fang Yan suddenly found herself unable to say anything to calm him down.
"How is the...child?"
This poor child, perhaps his mother already suffered from depression before he was even born.
Therefore, he has never enjoyed a single good day since he was born, and he was abused all over his body by his mother, whose depression was getting worse and worse and who was out of control.
The child was pitiful, but Fang Yan couldn't blame the original owner.
The original owner, controlled by the disease, had no one around her who could help her.
Unable to save herself and with no one to help her, she was ultimately consumed by the disease, making her a pitiful person.
"You hit it yourself, how could you not know?"
If he could, Zhang Jizhou would love to strangle this wicked woman with his own hands!
His professional ethics and moral compass prevented him from standing by and watching someone die, but the law also forbade him to kill the woman.
But he was also afraid that he might lose control of himself and impulsively strangle her to death.
So after taking Fang Yan to the hospital, he only told the nurse that he would pay the medical bills, and then turned around and left.
One reason is that the son's situation is more serious and he needs constant care.
Fang Yan opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say...
If she were to explain that she didn't intentionally want to abuse the child, but that she was simply sick, with a very, very serious illness.
However, in 1980, China's medical standards were lagging behind, and at that time, no one knew what depression was.
Even if she says it, who would believe her?
"I...I'm not..."
Just as she was about to steel herself and explain, the man's icy voice rang out again, "Fang Yanyan, if anything happens to the child, I will make you pay with your life!"
His gaze, like that of Death announcing the final judgment, was so cold it sent chills down one's spine.
"If, by some miracle, the child survives this ordeal, I will not let you off so easily."
"Divorce, and I'll send you where you belong."
Zhang Jizhou said coldly.
Fang Yan is open to divorce, but not now.
In China during the 1980s, most regions and most supplies still required corresponding receipts and money to purchase.
At this moment, Fang Yan was penniless and didn't have a single receipt.
If they divorce, she will definitely be the one who leaves with nothing, and she can't rely on her family either.
After much deliberation, Fang Yan still felt that now was not the best time to get a divorce.
So she pretended not to hear about the divorce and instead asked him, "Where should I go?"
“A mental hospital,” Zhang Jizhou’s voice remained devoid of any warmth. “What else could a woman be but mentally unstable if she could beat her own son like this?”
Oh, or it could be extremely vicious.
However, Zhang Jizhou was unwilling to say that.
If we attribute Fang Yanyan's child abuse to her inherently vicious nature...
So, after the divorce, she can live a carefree life again.
Why is it that her son has suffered so much, while she can still live a carefree life?
No, she should spend the rest of her life atoning for her wicked deeds.
Zhang Jizhou, nicknamed "Cold-Faced Devil" by his comrades, was never a kind or generous person.
Sending her to the hospital while she lay in a pool of blood was simply to prevent her from dying too easily, as that would be too lenient on her.
Fang Yan gasped. He was indeed following the script and was going to send her to a mental hospital!
"etc!"
According to the plot, this is his only chance to save himself.
Because if she missed this opportunity, in just over an hour, she would be sent to a mental hospital, and there would be no way for her to escape.
Fang Yan racked her brains, trying to seize this only opportunity to persuade him to give her another chance to reform.
She opened and closed her mouth several times, but she didn't know how to say it in a way that would express the original owner's pain, helplessness, and regret, and also touch Zhang Jizhou's heart so that he would soften and agree to give her another chance.
"I……"
"Click..."
Fang Yan had just finished rehearsing her speech in her mind and was about to speak when she heard the emergency room door suddenly open from the inside.
She didn't even have time to speak. Together with Zhang Jizhou, they rushed to the emergency room entrance and asked in unison, "Doctor, how is my son?"
The doctor's condemning gaze swept over Zhang Jizhou and Fang Yan one by one. "Even animals know to protect their cubs. How could you be so heartless as to treat such a small child so cruelly!"
Fang Yan felt guilty and dared not meet his gaze.
Although the original owner did not intend to abuse the child, the child's current suffering is entirely due to her.
Instead of pushing her out at that moment, Zhang Jizhou asked again, "Doctor, has my son pulled through?"
“We’ve tried our best, but…”
The doctor's words of deep regret and heartache caused both Zhang Jizhou and Fang Yan to sway in disbelief.
"The child is still somewhat conscious. You can go in and see him one last time," the doctor said, then turned and left.
Fang Yan could barely hear what the doctor said after that.
She suddenly realized something was wrong!
According to the plot, the child should have survived.
After all, it was through this child that the reborn female protagonist gradually fell in love with Zhang Jizhou.
So how could the child be gone?
Could it be that her time travel caused a butterfly effect, which is why the child didn't make it this time?
With her child gone, her days were numbered.
