"We need to complete our identity paperwork before we can fly back home. Given the efficiency of services in Europe, it's likely to take quite a while."
Although I was reluctant, I had no choice but to accept it.
After all, no one could have foreseen that they would be kidnapped and taken abroad, right? Who would carry their passport and ID card with them if they were kidnapped?
I resigned myself to my fate and followed Yan Meng's arrangements. Fortunately, he had some connections here and a place to accommodate us, so at least we would have no worries about food and clothing.
Since I couldn’t go back quickly, I wanted to let my family know I was safe first.
I took out my phone, but found that it couldn't be turned on.
I don't know if it broke down because of the lack of power or the high sea temperature.
I could only ask the driver to borrow his cell phone.
I only remembered Mingsi's number, so I called her, feeling a little excited and nervous.
I have been missing for too long, and I was afraid that I would burst into tears when I heard Mingsi's voice.
However, the phone rang for a long time and was not answered.
My expectations gradually turned into disappointment.
I called my home phone again, but still no one answered.
This makes me feel empty and uncomfortable, and more worried.
There is no one at home, which is a bit strange.
Could it be that the whole family has come out to find me?
The call was hung up because no one answered it for too long, so I thought I would call back later.
Just as I was about to return the phone to the driver, the car slowly stopped.
I subconsciously wanted to get off the bus, but when I saw the eye-catching hospital sign outside, I was stunned in surprise.
"Hospital?" I turned to look at Yan Meng in confusion, "Aren't we going to the place you arranged for us to stay? Why did we stop at the hospital?"
Yan Meng didn't answer me immediately. Instead, he got out of the car, walked around to my side, and opened the door: "Get out of the car, I'll take you for a check-up."
"Me?" I was confused. "No thanks. I'm fine on the boat."
Yan Meng was firm: "No! You were hit on the head with a stick and were unconscious for three whole days on the cruise ship. Who knows if there is any brain bruise or other damage? You must check!"
Yan Meng didn't even bother to discuss things with me. He just pulled me out of the car and forcibly dragged me into the hospital.
I just think Yan Meng is making a big deal out of nothing. I lived on the boat for a month and apart from feeling sleepy occasionally, I didn't feel any discomfort.
But I couldn't persuade Yan Meng, so I had to cooperate with the inspection.
After the routine physical examination, there was no bruise or injury on my brain. I was about to tell Yan Meng to put his mind at ease, but the doctor's expression remained serious.
"There's nothing wrong on the surface, but it's best to take her to a psychiatrist. Many patients may develop mental problems after suffering head trauma, and these can't be seen in X-rays."
Do you have to say it so seriously?
I'm full of energy now, what could be the problem?
I didn't dare to act rashly in front of the doctor, so I just asked tentatively, "Is there any need to go to so much trouble? I feel pretty good."
"No, you need a communication assessment by a psychologist. Make sure there's no mental trauma."
I was taken to a mental hospital by Yan Meng and the doctor hypnotized me.
I stared at the picture in her hand, listened to her soft voice, and inexplicably began to feel sleepy. Everything in front of me became white.
In my dream, I seemed to travel through time, with countless clips replaying around me, and I was just a bystander.
Until a familiar figure appeared in front of me, my heart suddenly tightened and I suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
