After Anning returned abroad with her parents, the An family moved to a more homely courtyard. Liao Qian shared the property with them, but he didn't dare tell Lei Ting where Anning was, fearing that Lei Ting would do something to hurt her if he found out. On the day Anning returned, Liao Qian looked at the once sunny girl, who had become a thin, sickly figure in disbelief. Liao Qian felt heartbroken for Anning. He had acted as a matchmaker for Anning and Lei Ting, and now that Anning was back, the An family didn't blame him. Liao Qian breathed a sigh of relief, but dared not reveal the fact that Anning shared a courtyard with him.
An Yang was furious upon learning of his sister's ordeal and wanted to return to China to vent his anger; he had even bought his plane ticket. Han Yi stopped him from acting impulsively. Since things had come to this, they decided to try something to cheer An Ning up. After returning home, An Ning lost her appetite and couldn't eat or sleep. Han Yi, the family doctor, tried to help her recover, but An Ning remained listless and sullen, ignoring everyone who called her. This pained Han Yi, who had always cherished An Ning. The family tried many methods—magic tricks, clowns, psychologists—but nothing worked. An Ning just couldn't cheer up. That evening, Han Yi fed An Ning some porridge, and after An Ning went to sleep, the other three members of the An family discussed in the study how to make An Ning happy. They worried that if things continued like this, she would become depressed.
An Yang: "I have a solution, but it's too risky."
An Yiyang: "What method do you suggest?"
Anyang: "Hypnosis..."
Han Yi: "Hypnosis? What's the difference between that and a psychologist..."
Anyang: "There is a difference between psychologists who treat the symptoms and hypnotherapists who treat the root cause. Yesterday, when I told my friend about my older sister's symptoms, my friend confidently told me that hypnosis is particularly effective."
An Yiyang: "How does the hypnosis work?"
An Yang: "My friend said that my sister is heartbroken, and the best way to deal with it is to forget the past."
Han Yi: "Forget the past? That sounds so unreliable!"
An Yang: "I also find it unbelievable, but it is indeed effective, and it is a physical therapy that does not involve surgery or bloodshed. I think it is worth a try."
An Yiyang: "Physical therapy is an option, but let's make An Ning forget about Lei Ting and the others! What about Lei Ting's grandparents and parents!"
An Yang: "I asked the hypnotist about this, and he said to be more straightforward and seal away my sister's memories from the past two and a half years in her subconscious. That way, there will be no mistakes. Two and a half years ago, my sister didn't know Lei Ting."
Han Yi: "That's a good idea, Lao An. We can just say that our daughter was in a car accident and her brain was injured. Besides, back in China, she's a housewife who just cooks and does things like that. There's nothing exciting going on. I think this is a good idea."
An Yang: "Mom, don't get excited. The hypnotist said that this is a case of the memory being sealed away. If the scene is recreated, it could stimulate my sister and she might remember it."
Han Yi: "I think it's fine. Your sister is in so much pain right now, it's good that she forgets about Lei Ting. When she remembers it later, she will be more mature and it won't matter to her."
An Yiyang: "I also agree with hypnosis, but... should we let our daughter know that hypnosis will make her forget Leiting?"
Han Yi: "Don't let our daughter know. Every word we say will cause trouble. Just say it's a new psychologist, and we'll see how it goes. If it works well, we'll keep quiet about it from now on. As for things in China, few people in Niujin know about Ning'er's marriage. Besides, she was in a mansion in China, and Niujin can't find that mansion. I don't think it's very likely that the scene will be reenacted. Anyang, call the hypnotherapist quickly and have him come to treat your sister tomorrow."
Anyang: "Okay..."
An Yiyang: "How many days of treatment will it take to get better?"
An Yang: "The hypnotist will assess my sister's progress in about three days, maybe three days, maybe five days. The hypnotist said that if my sister subconsciously doesn't want to forget Lei Ting, the effect will be bad; if my sister intentionally avoids this painful period, the effect will be good. We'll be able to tell then."
Han Yi: "Okay, let's see how it goes. I've noticed my daughter sometimes staring blankly at her fingers. She hasn't brought her wedding ring back. I guess she doesn't want to forget Lei Ting, but she wants to forget this pain."
An Yang: "Mom, don't worry. I'll give that kid a good scolding when he calls me. He deserves to die in China. You don't need to worry about him. Just take good care of my sister. Let her be happy one day at a time."
An Yiyang: "Well said. We should enjoy each day as it comes. I don't want to see your sister like this. If this continues, she'll develop depression, and my daughter will suffer for the rest of her life."
Han Yi: "Yes, we're doing this for our daughter's own good. If the hypnosis doesn't work, we won't force her anymore. By the way, Anyang, how's it going with the big baking factory that Mom asked you to set up for your sister?"
Anyang: "The construction has started, Mom. Don't worry, I'll make sure my sister can happily bake bread."
Han Yi: "As long as you two sisters are happy, your dad and I will be at ease."
An Yang planned to invite a hypnotist recommended by his friend to give An Ning psychological treatment. The psychologist also said that the most effective method was hypnosis, which would make her forget her memories of meeting Lei Ting two and a half years ago, and forget everything about him. After a deep discussion, the An family decided to carry out this action, but they couldn't let An Ning know. So An Yang kept it from An Ning, making her think that each treatment was just ordinary psychological therapy. Three days passed, and An Ning didn't notice at all that she had slowly forgotten Lei Ting and couldn't remember anything about him. After conducting the last hypnosis session, the hypnotist nodded, and An Ning would forget everything from two and a half years ago when she woke up. The An family thanked their lucky stars. Sure enough, after An Ning woke up, she felt incredibly relaxed and very hungry. She went looking for food first thing in the morning.
