Ye Rouxin was still trembling with anger after hitting someone. "I told you, it was your father who wronged me first. Why is everyone trying to pin the blame on me?"
"Mom is always like this, there's no reasoning with her. Has Mom ever thought about how many times you've hit me?"
Ye Rouxin's voice was even louder than before. She looked at Ye Xinning and said, "I told you, I did nothing wrong. Why are you distancing yourself from me like this? I am your mother and the person who cares about you the most. Why do you always make me angry? Why do you always force me to take action?"
With each sentence Ye Rouxin spoke, her expression grew more pained than before. Eventually, tears began to stream down her face. "Why, why don't you understand me at all?"
Just as Ye Xinning was about to say something, Ye Rouxin suddenly went limp, closed her eyes, and fainted.
Ye Xinning's face turned pale, and she quickly stepped forward, catching Ye Rouxin before she collapsed to the ground.
"Mom, Mom." She was extremely worried, wondering why this perfectly healthy person had fainted.
But no matter how many times she called, Ye Rouxin didn't respond. Ye Xinning became even more anxious. How could someone who was perfectly fine suddenly faint?
She called Aunt Wen, who came back and helped get the person into the car. Ye Xinning drove to the hospital, speeding along the way. Aunt Wen knew she was very worried and didn't dare let her slow down. What usually takes an hour, Ye Xinning drove to the hospital in just over half an hour.
Outside the emergency room, Ye Xinning sat anxiously waiting by the door, with Aunt Wen keeping her company.
Ye Xinning lowered her head and spoke softly, her voice filled with exhaustion, "I didn't mean to upset her."
"Yes, I know."
Aunt Wen patted her on the back, in a comforting tone.
"Although she doesn't understand me and never considers the reasons why I do something, I've gotten used to it over the years. I could have tolerated what happened tonight. If I had said less, none of this would have happened."
"Miss, we didn't expect Madam to faint. Please don't blame yourself."
Ye Xinning clenched his fists and waited silently for the result.
About half an hour later, the emergency room door opened from the inside, and the doctor came out.
Ye Xinning quickly got up and walked towards the doctor. "Doctor, how is my mother?"
"She fainted due to the shock, but there's nothing seriously wrong with her now, Miss Ye, so don't worry."
"Was it just a shock?" Ye Xinning asked a few more questions.
The doctor hesitated for a moment, then said, "Ms. Ye, please come to my office to talk."
Ye Xinning noticed something else in the doctor's eyes and immediately understood. She turned to Aunt Wen and said, "Aunt Wen, try to contact Xia He and Huo Qijun and tell them that my mother is in the hospital."
"Yes, miss."
After giving these two instructions, Ye Xinning went to the office with the doctor.
...
After arriving at the office, Ye Xinning looked at the doctor and said frankly, "Doctor, please speak your mind directly, there's no need to hold back."
“Since you put it that way, Ms. Ye, I’ll be frank. Your mother’s condition is a bit strange. We doctors suspect it may be bipolar disorder.”
Ye Xinning was stunned. Bipolar disorder? She didn't understand.
"Excuse me, doctor, could you please explain it more clearly?"
"Simply put, it means that the person's emotional expression is very extreme, such as being easily angered or irritable, and these situations will keep recurring."
"Depression?"
"It's somewhat similar, but more complex than depression."
Ye Xinning's face darkened slightly. Her hands, hanging by her sides, were clenched so tightly that she didn't even notice her nails digging into her flesh.
She had never known that her mother had developed this problem. Looking back on what had happened, she suddenly realized that her mother was easily angered and that she had had too many arguments with her mother since returning to Nancheng.
"Doctor, do you know what the cause is?"
"There are many reasons for this situation. It could be work-related, emotional, or other reasons. I cannot give you a reasonable explanation for this at the moment."
Ye Xinning nodded, understanding. "I understand, thank you, doctor. What do I need to do next?"
"I'll prescribe some medicine for the patient to take first, and observe for a period of time. If there are any issues, I'll talk to Ms. Ye again."
"good."
...
When Ye Xinning arrived at Ye Rouxin's ward, Ye Rouxin had already woken up. She was the only one in the ward, sitting on the bed staring blankly out the window.
Ye Xinning walked over and sat down in front of the hospital bed.
Ye Rouxin turned around when she heard the sound, and her eyes met hers. Looking at her swollen cheeks, Ye Rouxin's eyes were full of regret.
She subconsciously raised her hand to touch Ye Xinning's face, but she withdrew it halfway through.
"In your heart, I am unforgivable, aren't I?"
Ye Xinning lowered her head and said in a low voice, "You are my mother. I should endure your beatings and scoldings."
"Suffer?"
Ye Rouxin's voice was very soft, "I'm sorry. I know it seems superfluous to say these words after hitting you several times, but I don't know what's wrong with me. Every time I see you, I tell myself to calm down, not to be angry with you, and to talk to you nicely, but I just can't control my emotions. I don't know why my emotions are so out of control now. I'm sorry, Ningning."
Hearing these words, Ye Xinning would normally have thought they were just excuses, but after talking with the doctor, she realized that they were all true.
"I know." She took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Your health isn't good. Let's focus on getting better first. Once you're healthy, this won't happen again."
Ye Xinning's sudden change in attitude surprised Ye Rouxin.
"By the way, did you just see a doctor? What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said you were just too tired. He prescribed you some medicine, and you'll feel better after taking it."
"Really?"
"Hmm," Ye Xinning said.
"That's good. By the way, I wanted to ask you tonight what's going on between you and Shen Lin. Didn't you get divorced? Why is he still following you?"
"It might just be a coincidence."
"Coincidence? Do you think I'd believe you if you tried to lie to me like that?"
"..."
Ye Xinning fell silent. The matter between her and Shen Lin was complicated and she couldn't explain it in a few words. Moreover, she didn't know what Shen Lin was thinking in the current situation.
She sat with Ye Rouxin in the ward for a long time, and didn't offer much explanation about her relationship with Shen Lin, because there wasn't much to explain.
After Huo Qijun and Xia He arrived, she left. On the way back, Ye Xinning instructed Aunt Wen, "Investigate the people around my mother?"
"Does Miss suspect something?"
"I don't know either." Ye Xinning rubbed his temples. "My mother has always been in good health. How could she suddenly develop such a health problem? I can't figure it out."
