Xu Zhaozhao subconsciously looked at the name tag on the other person's chest.
Head of the Psychiatry Department.
?
Don't go too far!
Xu Zhaozhao was taken aback.
Before Xu Zhaozhao could answer, the director continued, "You didn't come for your follow-up appointment last month, and I was thinking that if you didn't come this month, I would call you."
Hilarious! Xu Zhaozhao only transmigrated into this book last month, who knew the original owner already had a criminal record in the psychiatric ward...
"I'm sorry..."
Xu Zhaozhao looked at the director in front of her and asked apologetically, "May I ask what illness I have?"
As expected, after Xu Zhaozhao asked the question, the director's expression changed, and his eyes became serious.
"Has Miss Zhao Zhao's condition become so serious that she has developed amnesia?"
"Um...maybe." Xu Zhaozhao touched her nose.
If you didn't inherit the original owner's memories, how can it not be considered amnesia?
"Miss Zhao Zhao, let's have a full physical examination before we make a decision," the director said, his face showing concern.
“But I still need to take my son to get vaccinated.” Xu Zhaozhao hesitated as she held Gu Yulin’s hand.
Suddenly, Gu Yulin's small hand slipped out of Xu Zhaozhao's hand like a nimble snake, and even took the vaccination certificate from her hand.
She gently nudged Xu Zhaozhao and said, "Mom, I can get the injection myself. You should go and get a checkup with the doctor."
His eyes and brows betrayed his worry.
Xu Zhaozhao knew she couldn't persuade him otherwise, and she knew that Gu Yulin wasn't just showing off; he really could fight on his own.
"Then be careful, and send a message to your mom after you finish."
Gu Yulin's bracelet can send messages.
Only after Gu Yulin nodded did Xu Zhaozhao feel relieved and follow the doctor away.
Whether it was Xu Zhaozhao's imagination or not, it seemed that the doctor's last glance lingered on Yu Yu for several seconds.
Xu Zhaozhao went through the procedures first, registered, and then followed the director to an examination room.
They meandered and quickly disappeared from the crowd.
Even without the director's explanation, Xu Zhaozhao knew that this was a psychiatric examination room.
The metal medical equipment inside had a silvery sheen, giving it a somewhat cold appearance.
The director asked Xu Zhaozhao to sit down and rest for a while. He poured her a glass of water and said, "Miss Zhaozhao, don't be nervous. This is the psychological counseling session we conduct first during each follow-up visit."
Xu Zhaozhao nodded, but didn't touch the glass of water—she couldn't help it; she'd read too many domineering CEO novels and was afraid to drink water offered by anyone.
The director sat down opposite Xu Zhaozhao, with a overhead light on, and opened a medical record book.
"How have you been feeling lately, Miss?"
"Everything has been fine lately."
Xu Zhaozhao thought about it for a moment and realized that she had indeed been living a pretty comfortable life recently.
Is there anything that makes you very angry, to the point that you can't control your temper and want to lose it?
Xu Zhaozhao thought for a moment before slowly shaking her head, "No."
The doctor gave her a meaningful look and asked another question, "Have you often had thoughts of hurting the people around you lately?"
Hurting those around you?
Xu Zhaozhao recalled the description of the original owner's actions in the original book.
"Doctor, could I have bipolar disorder?" Xu Zhaozhao asked cautiously.
Xu Zhaozhao thought the doctor would be polite, but the head doctor quickly gave her a positive answer.
He said with a serious expression, "It's very likely that it has already progressed to the late stage."
Upon closer inspection, could it be that the original owner harmed Yu Yu because she couldn't control her illness?
That shouldn't have led to such a fate...
Xu Zhaozhao's mind was in a mess as the director led her to a pile of instruments she had never seen before and placed electrode pads on her head.
The machine quickly printed out the report.
The director exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? How come it's normal?"
Xu Zhaozhao: Thank you, I'm not sick.
He looked at Xu Zhaozhao with suspicion and asked, "Are you really not inclined to hurt anyone?"
Xu Zhaozhao shook her head firmly: "No!"
"Then your amnesia..." He still had doubts.
“I don’t know what happened, but I have indeed lost some of my memories,” Xu Zhaozhao answered truthfully.
You can't exactly say that you transmigrated into the book and didn't inherit the original owner's memories, can you?
Who would believe that?
"That's really strange."
The next second, Xu Zhaozhao was ordered to lie on a half-reclining bed, bathed in a warm, dim yellow light that made her feel drowsy.
When the director came in with a stopwatch, Xu Zhaozhao already guessed—the director was going to hypnotize her.
“Miss Zhao Zhao, I’ll try to hypnotize you to see if I can help you recover that part of your memory.”
The director's voice was reassuring: "Just relax. I'll wake you up if things get serious."
Xu Zhaozhao nodded—she also wanted a little bit of the original owner's memories, so that she could avoid a lot of trouble in this world.
Even though she transmigrated into a book, can the memories in her mind really just disappear like that? What if hypnosis could awaken them?
Clinging to this sliver of hope, Xu Zhaozhao obediently lay down.
The surroundings became quiet.
Tick-tock...
It was so quiet that Xu Zhaozhao could hear the hands of the stopwatch in the director's hand ticking.
"Relax, relax..."
The director said softly, "Imagine yourself lying on the beach, a wave crashes in, and the seawater envelops you..."
As he spoke, Xu Zhaozhao followed his words and imagined what he was saying.
Soon, she found herself lying in a void, surrounded by pale blue light, as if she could breathe freely underwater.
Lying lazily in the water, it's so comfortable that it makes you want to sleep.
Sudden!
A feeling of drowning washed over her, and Xu Zhaozhao felt as if she had been forcibly pulled out of that comfortable space. The immense feeling of weightlessness made her open her eyes abruptly.
"Ouch," Xu Zhaozhao mumbled sleepily.
Only then did I realize that I had fallen face down, my body spread out in a "T" shape, onto the ground...
After a three-second pause, Xu Zhaozhao got out of bed nonchalantly before the director could speak.
He patted the dust off his clothes. Luckily, the examination room wasn't too dirty, and his clothes only had a little dust on them.
As long as you're not embarrassed, it's others who will feel awkward.
Xu Zhaozhao acted as if nothing had happened and asked, "Doctor, did you manage to get anything out of me?"
Anyway, Xu Zhaozhao didn't feel like there was anything extra in her mind.
"No."
The director shook his head regretfully, "It seems like your mind is completely blank about what happened before."
Not only did they fail to get any information from her, they also made Xu Zhaozhao fall asleep comfortably, causing her to tumble off the recliner.
This indicates that the brain was not stimulated at all.
This was definitely a major failure in the director's hypnosis career.
