It was only a picture of a tree. What’s so interesting about that. Venus thought.
“Venus, do you still remember what happened last night?” The doctor asked.
“I started a fire.” Venus laughed coldly. “But I didn’t burn him to death. What a shame.”
The doctor didn’t seem to be surprised at all. He said kindly: “Can’t you fall asleep last night?”
“I slept very good.” Venus answered.
Then, the doctor took out some equipment and gave her a checkup, and concluded that Venus was
suffering from schizophrenia and depression.
“Is it serious?” Kerry asked concernedly.
“Sever depression can lead to death. What do you think.” The doctor glanced at him and said: “She
should stay in hospital and take treatment. She is afraid of you, so you’d better stop appearing in front
of her, or she will get nervous.”
The doctor then stopped for a few seconds and asked: “Did you use violence against her?”
“No, I didn’t.” Kerry denied.
“Then who slapped her so hard? Mr Ye, you can’t hit her whatever happens. She is in a very vulnerable
psychological state right now, and she will break down if you hit her!”
Kerry was speechless. He knew he was wrong, but he was so pissed off at that moment.
“Fine. Fill this form out, and she will stay in the hospital. We will give her the best treatment.”
Kerry initially wanted to take her back home. He had obviously underestimated her illness.
“Thank you.”
The forms were filled out, and Venus lived in a separate fancy ward. There was a living room, a
bedroom, and a kitchen. It was just like a small apartment. Venus was very satisfied. She wanted to
laugh but she refrained.
“You stay here and listen to the doctors. I will come back and visit you.” Kerry said. He was loath to part
with her.
Venus had her back towards him. She bit her lips to prevent herself from laughing.
Kerry lifted his arm and he wanted to stroke her hair, but he then drooped his arm heavily because he
thought she would be frightened.
“Venus, I’m leaving.”
Venus was still motionless. She turned around only when she heard the door was shut. She felt
relieved. She was wild with joy and she jumped up and down in the ward to express her excitement.
When she jumped onto the sofa in the living room, the door was opened suddenly. Venus was so
frightened that she almost fell. She looked at the door and found it was Kevin.
“You almost frightened me to death! I thought it was Kerry.” Venus patted on her chest and said. She
then jumped off the sofa and walked to Kevin. “Why are you here?”
“You are such a good actress. I thought you really went mad.” Kevin said jokingly.
“These days were so dark. I don’t even want to think about them.” Totally different from the way she
presented herself in front of the doctor, Venus was now full of vigor and energy.
Kevin gave her phone back to her and said: “This is a psychiatric hospital, and you must remember not
to take the pills these doctors give you, since you are not ill. What’s your plan?”
Venus got serious and said: “I am going to divorce Kerry. He now thinks I’m crazy, and he wouldn’t
keep a crazy woman beside him, would he?”
Kevin’s brow furrowed because he knew Kerry wouldn’t agree to end their marriage so easily.
“Fine. Since you have already made up your mind, I’ll find a lawyer to help you.” Kevin said. He was
doing it not only for Venus, but also for himself.
“Thank you. Kevin.”
Kevin then embraced her shortly. He said: “I must get going. I have something to deal with.”
Before Venus realized what was happening, Kevin had already disappeared.
“Why did he just hug me? To comfort me? As a friend? Right. He hugged me as a friend, and he has no
other meaning.” Venus thought to herself.
For the next two days, Venus sometimes cooperated with the doctors. It was mostly some counselings,
and she just took them as some casual chats. And as for the medicines prescribed by the doctors, she
flushed all of them down the toilet.
These two days were the most enjoyable days since Venus got married. Her doctor was bewildered,
because he couldn’t see anything wrong with her. She eats abundantly, and sleeps soundly.
Kerry didn’t show up. Maybe he was worried that he might frighten Venus.
On the third day, the doctor tried to make Venus to go back home. He said: “Venus, I think you have
made a very good recovery. Maybe you can leave the hospital.”
“No! I won’t! I’m sick! I’m not cured yet!” Venus protested excitedly. She had to keep acting until she
divorced Kerry.
The doctor furrowed his brow and said: “Fine. If you insist. Kerry is a rich person anyway.”
“Don’t mention him! I hate him!” Venus sat on her bed and put her arms around her legs. She looked
very angry.
The doctor realized that Venus was sick all because of Kerry.
That afternoon, Venus was drawing, and someone paid an unexpected visit.
“Venus.” It was a familiar voice.
Venus froze. “Why is this bastard here?” She thought.
His footsteps approached. Venus put on a blank expression and looked at him. It was Hao Nangong.
They hadn’t met each other for a long time. He still looked young and attractive.
Venus looked at him with a blank expression for a few seconds and then asked: “You are Hao
Nangong. I know you.” And then she went back to drawing her design.
