Chapter 114: Treating the Illness of the Heart
“…All of you can leave.”
Wu Mei chased them out. She exchanged glances with Li Nanchen before locking the door.
Outside the door, Li Nanchen recalled the medical skills Wu Mei had revealed a few times and the few times she had examined Old Master Li. Thinking back to the surveillance video that night, he frowned and tapped Bi Fang. In a low voice, he asked, “Do you think it’s possible that Wu Mei was the one who treated Old Master Li?”
Bi Fang immediately looked at him in disdain and asked, “Did you let love blind you?”
“Medical skills that can dissolve thrombosis in the body require a lot of clinical experience. A doctor with such skills would be at least around 40 years old.
“Of course, my Teacher is an exception. But M is a rare genius in the world! How can Wu Mei compare to her?”
When Bi Fang thought of M, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable admiration, as if mentioning her and Wu Mei at the same time was a form of contempt and humiliation towards M.
He sighed and told Li Nanchen not to let his imagination run wild as he said, “My Teacher is no longer alive. It seems like only Lin Liguo is able to use that method on Old Master Li. Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility that there are other hidden geniuses, but I don’t see them…”
Bi Fang poured himself a cup of tea and leaned against the door, waiting to have a good laugh.
Hearing his words, Li Nanchen recalled that Wu Mei had only started painstakingly studying books on mental illness of late. In the past, she had not revealed her talent in the medical field. She also did not seem to care much about these things. He gradually suppressed that doubt and he did not bring it up.
Wu Pang and Yang Shan exchanged glances but did not dare to say anything. They were equally nervous and wanted to get back to the situation in the room.
However, the moment they got close, Li Nanchen would sweep his cold gaze over them, forcing them to retreat to a faraway place and look on…
Inside the room, Wu Mei patiently squatted in front of Mother Wu and swayed the pendant to create an environment for Mother Wu to immerse herself in.
The clock’s pointer ticked as it turned. It was so quiet that only the sound of water flowing could be heard. Mother Wu nervously avoided Wu Mei.
Wu Mei patiently guided her according to the research method.
Gradually, Mother Wu’s initial resistance turned into compliance. Her eyes even became wet, as if she was recalling a painful past.
As time passed, Wu Mei seemed to have exhausted all her strength. Finally, she stood up and opened the door…
The crowd led by Bi Fang rushed in. Looking at Mother Wu, who was in a wheelchair, they saw that she seemed even more retarded than before and her eyes were dull.
“Has she become she retarded? Wu Mei! I told you that hypnotherapy is not feasible. This will cause the patient to be trapped in it uncontrollably…” Bi Fang mocked, wanting to prove his judgment.
Mother Wu looked up at them with a blank expression in her eyes. She murmured, “I’m hungry. I want to eat something.”
She seemed like a child that needed to be taken care of. However, this surprised Wu Pang, Yang Shan, and the others!
Wu Mei lifted her eyes coldly and brought two bowls of porridge from the kitchen. She fed Mother Wu spoonful after spoonful and comforted her as she slept. “Although she’s demented and like a child, she knows how to be hungry. She can eat by herself and do the most basic things in life. She’s not as crazy as before. Can’t you see that?”
Bi Fang was astonished and could not understand what was going on…
On the way back, Bi Fang sat in the front passenger seat. He was still puzzled, but he was embarrassed to ask.
Li Nanchen asked curiously, “How did you do that? Her condition has indeed improved…”
Wu Mei closed her eyes and leaned against Li Nanchen’s shoulder tiredly. In a hoarse voice, she said, “She became like this because of Wu Pang. All the misfortune she had in her entire life was because she married Wu Pang…”
“While I was hypnotizing her, I erased all her memories of Wu Pang.”
“As long as she slowly forgets about this failed marriage, even if her nervous system has already suffered irreversible damage and she becomes mentally unsound, she won’t go crazy and hurt herself again. This is the best solution for her.”
Glancing at Bi Fang, who was silent in the passenger seat, Wu Mei said calmly, “Sometimes, different methods have to be used to treat physical illnesses and illnesses of the heart.”
“As a doctor, you should learn to analyze the situation you’re facing and not follow your own set of rules in an inflexible manner.”
“It’s impossible without learning and improvement…”
Bi Fang wanted to retort, but Wu Mei made sense. He could only swallow his grievances.
