Realizing the driver might have mistaken her for someone else, Song Mai smiled and reassured him, "I just look a bit like the victim, but I'm not the person in question."
The driver pondered for a moment, his eyes still filled with suspicion, but upon hearing her words, he dared not speculate any further.
"What do you want to know from me?"
After a moment of contemplation, Song Mai said in a low voice, "I want to know the whole story and details of the car accident back then."
"I don't remember very clearly. The car accident left me drowning and unconscious for several days. Because of the lack of oxygen to my brain, I lost a lot of my memories. But I can still remember that the person who was with me back then is now Master Yun." The driver said with emotion.
If it weren't for Master Yun, he would have already sunk to the bottom of the river and gone to the Western Paradise with that Miss Song.
"Has Master Yun been following you the whole time?" Song Mai's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Yes, I saw that the girl was in a hurry and seemed a little scared, so I unconsciously increased my speed. Later, she was intercepted by the cars behind and next to her and crashed into the river. Yunye jumped in without hesitation. He probably wanted to save the girl, but unfortunately, he accidentally bumped into me."
The driver's eyes welled up with tears: "If it weren't for me, that girl might be alive and well now. This matter has been troubling me for so many years, and I haven't dared to get a full night's sleep."
"Is that car chasing us closely the one belonging to Master Yun?" Song Mai seized on the most important question and asked.
"I don't know, it doesn't seem so. Master Yun was following behind to save the girl. But Young Master Ji was also with them. From what I observed later, Miss Liu should have been there too."
The driver sighed heavily.
If I had known that carrying that girl would involve so many things, and that we would even encounter so many different people unintentionally, I would have definitely refused them outright.
Even if Master Yun gave him some compensation, he didn't want to end up with a lifelong disability.
Song Maisan wanted to investigate further and discovered that the driver didn't remember either.
Song Mai simply stopped asking questions and turned to leave.
On her way back, the scenes from that year kept replaying in her mind.
As time went on, she couldn't even tell if it was her imagination or her own experience. These scenes were so real that they terrified her, waking her up in the middle of the night.
Touching her sweaty forehead, she realized that her condition was not good and went to a psychologist's office early the next morning.
Unexpectedly, I encountered Shen Xiujing again this time.
To avoid suspicion, the two first looked around to make sure no paparazzi were taking pictures before they breathed a sigh of relief.
The last incident was finally resolved with great difficulty; if it escalates again now, it will be truly impossible to handle.
"Why are you here again?" Shen Xiujing looked her up and down curiously, and said with a smile, "Could it be that you already knew what I was thinking and deliberately pretended to bump into me?"
"You're overthinking it. That's something your irrational fans would do." Song Mai rolled her eyes at him and pushed the door open.
The psychologist hesitated for a moment as the two of them walked in together.
"Do you two need to be treated together?"
These words sent a shiver down their spines, and they instinctively exchanged glances.
Song Mai couldn't help but chuckle: "Does that mean two people can be treated together?"
“I can use hypnosis to allow each of you to enter your own memories, but you will be able to hear each other’s voices. This is one of our treatment methods, where two people communicate with each other after being hypnotized, which can be very effective in overcoming inner shadows.”
The treatment plan excited the two of them, and they subconsciously looked at each other.
Shen Xiujing said with a teasing smile, "Are you sure you want to come with me? Be careful that I don't overhear your little secrets."
"Then you should worry about yourself first, after all, every piece of dirt on you is worth a fortune if you sell it." Song Mai sneered.
Shen Xiujing dared not continue joking and could only mutter to herself, "I didn't expect you to hold a grudge like that."
"I didn't expect you to be so good at joking," Song Mai retorted.
After the two people were ready, they sat together on the appropriate treatment chairs.
With the doctor's order and the assistance of their expertise, the two quickly fell asleep.
Song Mai looked at the man walking forward with his back to her and recognized him as the abusive husband from her memories.
The husband's appearance was entirely described by Ji Fenghe, so she did not know what he actually looked like.
The man paused, then suddenly turned around in a fit of rage.
He raised the wooden stick in his hand, angrily wanting to strike.
But for some reason, Song Mai showed no fear, staring straight at the man in front of her, as if she had sensed something.
The wooden stick the man swung at him pierced right through his body, and the man looked at himself with some surprise.
Song Mai looked at him and whispered, "Actually, you never existed, did you?"
The moment she said those words, she felt a dull ache in her heart.
The man who instilled fear in me for so many years turned out to be nothing but a figment of my imagination.
The man hesitated for a moment, then nodded and pointed to the road in front of him.
It seems to be telling Song Mai that if she keeps moving forward, she will see what she truly wants to break through in her heart.
She bid farewell to the man solemnly; in a sense, his virtual presence had accompanied her for many years.
The man seemed to be smiling, but his face was completely blurred and indistinct.
Song Mai continued to stride forward, seemingly reaching a barrier where he could no longer see the path ahead.
She vaguely felt that a mysterious force was stopping her, like an invisible wall.
She hesitated for a moment, wanting to try to break through, but found herself powerless.
I don't know how much time passed, but bubbles started floating upwards around me, and the scene looked like I was sinking to the bottom of the sea.
Even the waves overhead shimmered in the sunlight, looking stunningly beautiful.
She frowned instinctively and asked in a low voice, "Where is this?"
No one responded, and no one appeared.
She stood quietly within the barrier, completely unsure of where to go or what to do.
After an unknown amount of time, Song Mai suddenly opened her eyes.
The doctor was worried that they would become unable to break free from their dream if they remained immersed in it for too long, so he forcibly woke them up.
After Song Mai told the doctor about the scene she saw in her dream, the doctor looked at her with a serious expression, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
"This is my second time here, so there's no need to hide anything from me." Song Mai was prepared to accept everything without any fear.
"I didn't expect your condition to be this serious, to be unable to break through the barrier in your dreams, or to break through the memories you want to hide in your heart."
