Chapter 883 She is on the verge of collapse
The words the doctor had said in the office just now echoed in his mind again.
"Mr. Xi, the results of Miss Ruan's head examination are not very ideal. I wonder if you were aware that her brain structure is somewhat different from that of a normal person."
Xi Jiu: "Are you talking about the amygdala in the brain?"
"It seems Mr. Xi is very familiar with Miss Ruan's condition." The doctor turned on the light box and pointed to the imaging slide hanging above. "The amygdala is a key area in the body that controls emotions like anxiety and fear. Miss Ruan's amygdala is unusual. Mr. Xi, has Miss Ruan ever had this type of head examination before?"
“Yes.”
Doctor: "So what are the test results?"
Xi Jiu said wait a moment, then opened his phone and clicked into the WeChat group 'Seven Baby Guards'.
Less than two seconds after the message was sent, Nie Beilou replied with an 'ok' and then sent a file.
Xi Jiu borrowed the doctor's computer to open the file.
"This is Xiaoqi's head image from a few months ago," he said.
The doctor sitting next to him immediately clicked on the imaging film, and then his brows slowly frowned.
"Mr. Xi, Miss Ruan's mood has been deteriorating."
Xi Jiu: "What do you mean?"
"Let's put it this way. If we categorize negative emotions into different levels, then the occasional fear and anxiety we experience in normal people can be considered the most basic, or level one. Level one negative emotions can occur in anyone, but they don't affect our mental or psychological health."
As the doctor spoke, he drew a pyramid on the paper with a pen and then divided it into ten equal parts with horizontal lines.
"Level one emotion is at the bottom of the pyramid. Level ten negative emotion is at the top of the pyramid. And Miss Ruan's previous condition," he pointed at the video clip sent by Nie Beilou, "was roughly level seven or eight."
Xi Jiu's expression changed slightly.
The doctor glanced at him and continued, "Generally speaking, a mentally healthy person's negative emotions won't exceed level three. People with mental illnesses, such as depression and anxiety, have an emotional level between four and seven and require systematic treatment and medication. And when a person's emotional level exceeds level seven..."
The doctor paused, then spoke slowly, "Then she is on the verge of a mental breakdown at any moment."
Xi Jiu's heart sank.
He clenched his hands into fists on his knees, his voice cold and stiff, "So what now? What's her emotional level right now?"
The doctor pushed his glasses down and said with some regret, "Based on today's examination results, Miss Ruan's mood has deteriorated, and the level is at least level eight. I think this is related to the huge rock hitting her head. While Miss Ruan was in a coma, she may have recalled something that caused her emotional breakdown."
Whoosh!
It felt like there was a big hole in Xi Jiu's heart, and cold wind was blowing in.
He remembered the nightmare Ruan Qi had told him yesterday - she slept with the corpses of many children.
The violence and murderous intent in his heart broke out again. Xi Jiu closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and tried hard to restrain his emotions that were about to get out of control.
The doctor felt the coldness emanating from him, and while he felt sympathy, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
"Mr. Xi," he said quickly, "you don't have to worry too much. Modern medicine is advanced, and Miss Ruan's condition is not incurable. Moreover, based on my nearly thirty years of medical experience, I know that Miss Ruan's mental endurance is much better than that of ordinary people. She is an extremely brave girl, and she will definitely get through this difficult situation..."
Xi Jiu couldn't quite remember what the doctor said next.
This conversation kept echoing in his mind, and every time it was repeated, his blood ran colder.
"Jiujiu?" The little girl's voice sounded in his ears.
Xi Jiu pulled himself away from his memories, hugged her and said "hmm" softly.
"Jiujiu, what are the test results?" Ruan Qi asked again.
Xi Jiu held her tighter in his arms, suppressing the hoarseness in his voice, "Everything is normal, the baby is healthy."
