Chapter 120 Shen Jin may have a dual personality.
Luo Zheng was completely flustered. Although he hadn't figured out what was going on, just from Cong Ronglan's simple words, all sorts of guesses flashed through Luo Zheng's mind.
For example, this car accident wasn't a so-called accident, but rather a deliberate act. And this person is Yan Yu. So what is his purpose? What benefit would he gain from doing this? Why would he do this?
Of course, before Luo Zheng could delve into these random thoughts, Rong Lan interrupted his wild speculations.
“That’s not what I meant,” Rong Lan said. “I meant that the relationship between the two of them might be much worse than we imagine, and Shen Jin… he might not really want to be with him, and might even want to escape.”
When they were looking for Shen Jin before, Yan Yu somehow managed to make everyone believe that they were a loving couple who were just having a temporary disagreement. Now that the disagreement was resolved, they wanted to get along well and didn't want anyone to bother them.
There are also photos and videos.
But now Rong Lan realizes that all these warm and beautiful moments are actually illusions, fabricated by Yan Yu. The so-called truth may be much worse than they imagined.
However, Rong Lan did not tell her parents about these things. After all, they were already overwhelmed with problems, and talking about this would only add to their worries. Besides, things were not yet settled.
“I can’t say for sure, let’s talk about it when you get back. What time is your flight?” Rong Lan took a deep breath and slowly said, “He’s still in the operating room, and Yan Yu is waiting next to him.”
"It took almost a whole day on the plane, don't even mention it." Luo Zheng sighed wearily, rubbed her temples, and after repeatedly asking Rong Lan about Chen Jin, the two finally hung up the phone.
After some struggle and the passage of time, Luo Zheng was able to understand the feelings that had arisen in his heart for Shen Jin, which had left him somewhat at a loss, since he had never encountered anything like this before.
So he himself didn't know what to do. After all, he knew that Shen Jin was not single. Even though he was in a bad state now and had forgotten the past, there would always be someone who would remember.
For example, his relationship with Yan Yu is probably a thorn in the side for many people.
On Luo Zheng's way back by plane, the door to Chen Jin's operating room was finally opened, and several doctors in white coats came out.
Yan Yu, who had been sitting dejectedly in the corridor, suddenly brightened up when he heard the door open. He turned sharply towards the operating room door and rushed over first.
He rushed in so fast he almost tripped and fell. He quickly caught his breath, his eyes fixed on the female doctor in front of him. His voice was hoarse as he asked impatiently, "How is he? How is he? He...he's alright? He still has his number? Is he...okay?"
He was in terrible condition. Too much had happened throughout the day, and his face was deathly pale. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked somewhat fierce, causing the female doctor in front of him to instinctively shrink back a step.
"...Sir, please calm down, don't get too agitated." The female doctor instinctively gasped, a faint smile forcing a smile onto her pale, tired face. "The patient is out of danger for now, only..."
Yan Yu didn't hear what the doctor said after that. Just the words "out of danger" made him gasp for breath before he could barely calm himself down, and he staggered a step.
"That's great, that's great..." Yan Yu repeated the words almost obsessively, his bloodshot eyes almost brimming with tears, but he barely managed to hold them back, asking in a hoarse voice, "Can I...can I go in and see him? Now...just for a little while."
He wouldn't feel at ease unless he went in and saw for himself. He was afraid it was all a dream, and even more afraid that the doctor was deceiving him, and by the time he found out, the person would probably already be long gone.
Just like many years ago.
"I'm sorry, not yet." The doctor breathed a sigh of relief. Having just gone through a dangerous surgery, she was also relieved. "Let's wait half an hour until he's calmed down a bit before going in. We can't disturb him. Also, we can't stay inside for too long, and we definitely can't stay by his side. It's not suitable after surgery."
Her words hit Yan Yu like a ton of bricks, leaving him dizzy and unsure how to react. A mix of emotions welled up inside him, rising in joy, excitement, and sadness, accumulating into a feeling of oppression.
"...Then...is he alright? Will he..." After her initial joy subsided, Rong Lan forced herself to calm down and asked the doctor, "Will he recover once he's had enough rest? Will there be any long-term effects?"
"The patient has multiple injuries, too many wounds, and fractures. He will need a period of treatment, and his head has been severely damaged." The doctor had just breathed a sigh of relief, but this topic seemed to have brought the matter up again, and his expression became more serious.
Rong Lan's heart skipped a beat as her expression turned grave. A bad premonition arose within her. She pursed her dry lips, her voice trembling slightly, "Wh...what's wrong?"
Rong Lan knew that Shen Jin was originally fine. When he was in City A, he lived a simple life like an ordinary person. Later, he suffered a head injury and became mentally impaired, which he never recovered from. Now, due to a car accident, his head has been severely damaged again...
He dared not think too deeply about it, because Rong Lan felt that he might have injured his head more than twice, otherwise why wouldn't Shen Jin come back to find them after all these years?
So it must be because he forgot, he has no memory of it. When they separated when he was little, he suffered a serious head injury...
Now, with each new misfortune adding to the already dire situation, it's not impossible that this could drive a perfectly healthy person insane.
“This is very worrying,” the doctor said, his smile fading. “He has suffered multiple head injuries, each one severe enough to affect his memory. This time may be the same, and it could very well be even worse.”
“After all, it’s already quite remarkable that someone’s brain has been subjected to this kind of damage multiple times and hasn’t completely gone insane,” the doctor sighed, his gaze sweeping over Yan Yu and Rong Lan’s faces. “Given his mental issues, he may not be able to maintain his original state.”
"...What...what do you mean?" Rong Lan's face turned pale, and she stammered, "What do you mean by not being able to maintain the original appearance?"
The doctor paused, hesitated, his gaze flickered, and he sighed softly: "He has suffered repeated traumas and emotional shocks, so it's inevitable that he harbors resentment and hurt. Therefore, he instinctively develops a kind of mental self-protection, which is what is known as dual personality..."
"In medical terms, schizophrenia is caused by excessive mental suffering," the doctor said. "He may recover to his previous state and no longer appear mentally impaired, but the possibility of schizophrenia is still high."
Rong Lan and Yan Yu were stunned, as if struck by lightning, unable to distinguish anything. They could only stand there dumbfounded, staring blankly at the doctor. But the doctor had already said everything he could for the time being, and could only sigh softly at their gazes.
"This is a very high probability." After saying this, the doctor turned and left, as did the other doctors. The operating room fell silent instantly, and the cold door was tightly closed, unable to be opened.
Yan Yu slumped back into the seat next to him. The doctor's words were still ringing in his mind, exceptionally clear, like a thorn piercing him, the pain spreading little by little.
"Schizophrenia... Why did it turn out like this? He was perfectly fine before..." Yan Yu thought dejectedly to himself, questioning, "Is it because of me... Did I drive him to this state..."
In Yan Yu's memory, Shen Jin had always been a kind, cheerful person, simple and pure, without much scheming. But after Yan Yu had hurt and tormented him time and time again, what would become of him? Would he really turn out as the doctor said...?
...Schizophrenia?
No one could give him an answer.
Time ticked by, and finally, the long hour was over.
They were finally able to enter the operating room to see Chen Jin, but the moment they entered and saw Chen Jin's appearance, Yan Yu almost fainted.
The bloodstains on his body had been cleaned up, but the stitches and the blood seeped through the gauze. Various tubes were still inserted into his body, and he lay there weakly, his face pale.
"Shen Jin..." Yan Yu choked out, feeling like he was going crazy. He didn't dare to look at Shen Jin now, let alone face him.
Mr. and Mrs. Rong came over, but the doctor wouldn't let them stay long. They only had a brief visit and then left. Mrs. Rong was still heartbroken and shed tears.
When Rong Lan repeated what the doctor had said to the two of them, Rong's mother's expression changed.
"...How could he have suffered so much trauma to the point of developing a mental breakdown?" Rong's mother asked in disbelief, her voice trembling slightly. "What kind of torment could drive someone to this state? How...how..."
Before she could finish speaking, Rong's mother burst into tears. Her bloodshot eyes swept over Yan Yu, who remained silent beside her. The latter dared not meet her gaze and could only lower his head in silence.
The next day, news of Chen Jin's situation spread. Xie Li, who was still in the hospital and hadn't been discharged yet, was stunned when he heard the news, his mouth agape.
Xie Li then snapped out of his shock and waved his hand dismissively with a smile: "Shen Jin is Rong family's son? Hahahaha... Brother, stop teasing me. I'm perfectly fine now, so you don't need to make fun of me."
