Lin Zhibai paused for a moment, then turned and walked out.
After taking a couple of steps, he realized that Gu Fanyan was right beside him, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes. "She does have some mental issues, and she can do some outrageous things when she's provoked."
“Miss Gu, our Young Master Lin didn’t lie,” the assistant added. “Young Master Lin had many psychiatrists examine Sheng Xin, and the results were all the same.”
"Look, these are the medicines she's taking." The assistant took several medicine bottles out of the cabinet.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, I'm going upstairs first." Lin Zhibai turned and left.
The assistant wanted to follow, but Gu Fanyan calmly walked up to him, picked up the medicine bottle from his hand, and examined it carefully.
When she encountered unfamiliar ingredients, she took out her phone and looked them up one by one.
The assistant's eyes widened slightly.
"Do you think I'm particularly cold-blooded?" Gu Fanyan asked, her eyes fixed on the medicine bottle.
"No, no," the assistant quickly replied.
Gu Fanyan disagreed: "Sheng Xin hurt my mother and once wanted me dead. The fact that I let her live is the greatest mercy I can show."
The assistant nodded repeatedly.
Gu Fanyan returned the medicine bottle to him, saying, "It is indeed a medication for treating mental illness, and the patient is quite ill."
"Yes, Miss Gu, actually, Young Master Lin is in a very difficult position," the assistant said.
"What's making things difficult for him?" Gu Fanyan asked.
The assistant sighed softly, "When Sheng Xin was ill, she was particularly dependent on Young Master Lin. The doctor said it was because she had experienced something very bad, so she was particularly dependent on warm memories."
"Ultimately, it's because during the time she was dating Lin Shao, he was just too good to her."
"Of course, that's also because she looks so much like Miss Gu, so Young Master Lin always feels sorry for her."
The assistant sighed softly to himself.
There are some things he can't say, but who doesn't think it's a tragic love affair?
Gu Fanyan understood. The terrible things Sheng Xin had experienced were referring to that night at the villa with Lin Leming, who had taken the drug.
She was the "instigator".
“You know the whole story of what happened at the villa. Do you think I was wrong?” Gu Fanyan asked.
“It’s all karma,” the assistant replied.
Gu Fanyan couldn't help but bite her lip, feeling a surge of resentment. He was Lin Zhibai's most trusted assistant, yet he had said such things to her.
It seems that Sheng Xin's frequent trips to the hospital these days have paid off.
Gu Fanyan stepped outside.
The assistant chased after her, still saying, "Miss Gu, please don't be angry. Young Master Lin was in a hurry to go to the rooftop because when Sheng Xin had her episode, she only recognized Young Master Lin. He was able to minimize the severity of the situation!"
Gu Fanyan ignored her and went straight to the rooftop.
As soon as she stepped onto the rooftop, she heard a woman's heart-wrenching cry.
She was stunned. Could it be that Sheng Xin really had a seizure and threw the baby downstairs?
Is the child's mother crying?
She hurried forward and saw Lin Zhibai holding the baby, while Sheng Xin sat on the ground, leaning against him and crying loudly.
And that "baby" wasn't actually a baby; it was just a lifelike doll.
She stood there, stunned, unsure how to react to the scene.
This situation was completely beyond her comprehension.
“Sister Fanyan,” Lin Zhibai said somewhat awkwardly, “she has fallen ill… she thinks it’s a baby.”
The assistant caught up and helped support Sheng Xin, then breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness Sheng Xin is alright, otherwise Young Master Lin would feel guilty for the rest of his life."
Gu Fanyan suddenly felt a bit superfluous. She gave a cold laugh, turned around, and left.
Lin Zhibai chased after her to the car before catching up with her. "I'll take you home."
She shook off his hand: "No need."
“Sister Fanyan,” Lin Zhibai grasped her shoulders, “you know she’s no match for you at all. Why are you angry because of her? She’s just a pitiful person with a disease. I was just helping her out casually.”
A hint of weariness flashed in his handsome eyes.
It's clear that he was quite overwhelmed by Shengxin's affairs.
But I'm sorry, Gu Fanyan doesn't feel sorry for me at all. "The fact that you can say something like that proves you know I mind."
"If you knew I minded, why did you still let her appear in front of me?"
"Sister Fanyan..."
He tried to explain, but Gu Fanyan didn't give him a chance. "Lin Zhibai, she almost killed my mother. If you think I can tolerate her constantly hanging around in front of me just because you care about our past relationship, then you're wrong!"
"If marrying you means enduring your constant concern for her, then I'm sorry, I can't go through with this marriage!"
"Fan Yan..." These words struck him like a bolt from the blue. He trembled slightly, and pain suddenly welled up in his eyes.
The pain was like a needle piercing her heart.
She was in pain too.
But he caused all this pain, and he has to bear it; there's no reason for him to drag her down with him.
She drove away.
Lin Zhibai stood there blankly until the car disappeared from sight, without moving an inch.
After some time, his phone suddenly rang.
The call came from my assistant.
"Young Master Lin, Sheng Xin has been taken to the hospital and settled in. The plane ticket to Baekdu Mountain has been booked for 9 a.m. the day after tomorrow."
"Send me the ticket information," Lin Zhibai replied.
"Okay." The assistant agreed, and after hanging up the phone, he immediately found the flight information, took a screenshot, and sent it to Young Master Lin.
He didn't notice at all that Sheng Xin, who had been lying on the hospital bed, slowly opened her eyes and kept looking at his phone.
"Cough cough." Sheng Xin coughed violently.
The assistant turned around and casually placed the phone on the bedside table. "Sheng Xin, how are you?"
Sheng Xin stared blankly at him, "Water, water."
The assistant immediately nodded: "Wait here, I'll go get you some water."
He took the thermos and went out.
Sheng Xin immediately picked up his phone, entered the password, and checked.
A moment later, he quickly returned carrying a thermos. His gaze fell on the bedside table, and he thought of his cell phone.
The phone was sitting perfectly fine on the bedside table.
He breathed a sigh of relief and poured Sheng Xin a glass of water. "Wait a moment. Although it's warm water, it's still a bit hot to drink."
Sheng Xin remained curled up on the hospital bed, her large eyes staring blankly at a certain spot.
Seeing her like this, the assistant couldn't help but sigh, "You, why don't you just have a good life? You had to keep chasing after Young Master Lin and end up like this..."
"Back then, you were the number one beauty in school, the goddess in the hearts of countless boys. If you had picked any one of them, you would probably be living a better life than you are now."
There's a reason why the assistant is so kind to Sheng Xin.
They were classmates in college.
He was on a student loan and was struggling financially. During his most difficult time, Shengxin lent him some money.
He had already returned the money to her, but the affection remained.
