Chapter 37: When Are You Getting Married?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chu Wuyou was extremely frustrated. She was so frustrated that she wanted to bite someone. Fiancé?! Was he not afraid of being punished for telling a lie this big?
“Her condition is a bit complicated.” Dr. Stead brought out a stack of files and flipped them open.
Complicated? She could either be seriously ill or she could be faking it. Ye Lanchen felt that it was the latter.
Ye Lanchen directed his gaze towards Chu Wuyou who was still within the separated space. He noticed that she sat quietly and stared blankly into space. There was no expression on her face and neither was there any reaction from her.
His lips curved into a subtle smile. He wanted to see how long she could fake it.
“Her illness was a result of what occurred during her childhood. There’s nothing wrong with her cognitive development but due to an accident that traumatized her as a child, she defends herself by locking away her self-awareness. She doesn’t use her wits and doesn’t think. She has shut herself away even more since she was overwhelmed by shock,” Dr. Stead explained concisely.
Ye Lanchen frowned, pursed his lips and did not respond. For the first time, he felt that his brain was not working properly. To be precise, his brain was reluctant to accept this piece of information.
In the separated space, Chu Wuyou was momentarily stunned and then she let out a sigh of relief. She did not think about how Dr. Stead came to his conclusion. She merely felt lucky right now.
As an expert in his field, Dr. Stead’s words were not to be taken lightly. Additionally, Ye Lanchen knew Stead well and so he would not question the latter.
“Don’t worry, I’ll try my best to treat her.” Dr. Stead noticed how gloomy Ye Lanchen looked and attempted to console him. “Right, when are you getting married?”
Chu Wuyou almost let out a laugh inside the room. At this moment, she understood what it felt like to have all of your plans shattered.
His punishment did arrive a little too early, didn’t it?!
Instead of getting the answer he wanted, Ye Lanchen was asked about his upcoming marriage!
‘When are you getting married?!’
‘This gentleman? May I know when we are getting married? Will you marry me? Marry me?’
Chu Wuyou refused to believe that the man would marry her given her hideous appearance. Moreover, she had this “illness”.
She would be in awe of him if he was willing to marry her.
‘Hahaha.’ Deep down, Chu Wuyou laughed heartily. Although she could not see beyond her confined space, she could imagine the glum look on the man’s face.
She suddenly thought of how adorable the doctor was! Really?!
Meanwhile, Ye Lanchen did display a glum expression. It was not because of the question of marriage, but because he did not get the answer he hoped for.
Nonetheless, he was incapable of doubting Stead’s words. Stead’s expression and gestures were very convincing.
Was it true that his judgment had been wrong?!
Ye Lanchen left. He could say that this time he returned without success. Ye Lanchen was never the sort of person to give up easily, thus…
After sending Chu Wuyou back to her room, Stead answered a mysterious phone call.
“Don’t thank me. I don’t care which one of you two is her real fiancé or whether you two aren’t real. All of these aren’t important to me. As a doctor, I must protect my patients and their confidentiality.”
Stead had lied to Ye Lanchen.
The whole world was a stage and all the men and women were merely players. Stead was undoubtedly an expert to be able to lie in front of Ye Lanchen without giving himself away.
However, who was the mysterious person?
