Chapter 130: Talk to Seventh Master
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mu Anan held the phone and was silent for a while before she said, “How meaningless is a person’s life before he or she wants to end it?”
Mu Anan’s question was asked from the back, but there was no response from Seventh Master.
Mu Anan rested her chin on her knees and listened to the phone quietly. She didn’t know who Zong Zhengyu was talking to.
After about a minute, he said, “I’m going back early.”
Mu Anan thought that Seventh Master would comfort her, but she was surprised to hear this.
She quickly sat up straight, “Seventh Master, no need for that.”
“Hmm?”
“I’m fine. I’m not affected by the mental hospital. Don’t transfer me away.” Mu Anan could guess what Zong Zhengyu was going to do next, so she quickly explained, “I just felt a little emotional when I saw those people.”
“I have hope.”
“Every day, I have hope in my heart, waiting for the sun to rise the next day.”
“Because I can see you.”
“You are my daily motivation to stay awake, my hope to walk with the sun.”
Mu Anan continued, “I was transferred to the depression department. Just now, there was a young girl who was about my age and had many wounds on her body. She asked me if I could let her die. That’s why I’m feeling emotional. It’s not the kind of emotion that’s affected. It’s just that I’m grateful that I met you.”
On the other side, Zong Zhengyu just walked out of the room of the grand master of the Zong family.
The servant was about to go forward to report and Zong Zhengyu asked him away with a gesture.
Zong Zhengyan also had something for him, but Zong Zhengyu also turned around and entered the room, closing the door and locking Zong Zhengyan outside.
Zong Zhengyan said, “Hey, Seventh, what’s wrong with you? Open the door, we have something to say.”
In the room, Zong Zhengyu pretended not to hear it.
He walked to the desk and took out a cigarette and a lighter.
Over the phone, Mu Anan’s voice was very soft, “I was indeed bullied by the people in the school when I came to the mental hospital. I didn’t want you to help me because I didn’t want to be too high-profile in school. Jiang Qin was there too. I didn’t want her to recognize me or suspect me.”
This was one of the few times when Mu Anan talked to Zong Zhengyu about the Jiang family and Jiang Qin.
For some reason, the Jiang family seemed to have become a taboo between the two of them. Even if they talked about it, Mu Anan would quickly move away.
Mu Anan said, “I thought that I would be a doctor in the future. I couldn’t choose my patients. I could only use all my abilities to treat my patients. I came to the mental hospital to learn and come into contact with patients. I have always insisted on doing what I should do in this position.”
“But, until today.” After talking to Ruan Yu and seeing the young lady, Mu Anan’s heart was determined, “I’m sure that I want to stay here. I want to heal the people here. I want people here to be able to go out and face the sun and smile.”
Mu Anan exhaled a deep breath when she finished.
After saying so much, she felt much better than before.
Zong Zhengyu didn’t respond to her and just listened to Mu Anan’s words quietly.
When he lowered his eyes, the cigarette between his index and middle fingers had already burned to the end, but the ashes were kept from falling.
Zong Zhengyu raised his hand and extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray.
Mu Anan found that he did not respond, so she added, “Seventh Master, I’m just calling to have a heart-to-heart talk with you. I don’t want to complain.
So, you need not come back early. Don’t transfer me out of the mental hospital, ok?”
Zong Zhengyu said, “Sure.”
Mu Anan said, “Then I’ll go home at eight o’clock. Shall we have supper together?”
Zong Zhengyu said, “Ok.”
Mu Anan said, “I’m still on duty. I’ll go report to the doctor first.”
Zong Zhengyu said, “Alright.”
Zong Zhengyu waited for Mu Anan to end the call before he hung up and threw his phone on the table.
He grabbed another one and lit it.
“Seventh, I just heard that you’re going back early. The grand master had said that he would be back by night at the latest.”
Outside the door, Zong Zhengyan was still knocking.
Zong Zhengyu was impatient, “Shut up.”
Zong Zhengyan said, “Open the door. Let’s talk about your departure time.”
Zong Zhengyu said, “Piss off.”
Zong Zhengyan was speechless.
The mental hospital in Jianglan City.
After talking to Zong Zhengyu, Mu Anan’s mood improved a lot.
She went straight to Dr. Chen’s office.
She briefly explained the situation of the girl who wanted to die to Dr. Chen.
Dr. Chen sighed slightly, “The girl is pitiful.”
The girl’s name was Momo, and she was several years younger than Mu Anan.
She grew up as a good student with excellent character and academic performance. She was at the top of her grade and had a bright future, but fell in love, unfortunately.
She got together with her punk classmate. But he was just for fun. When he got bored with it, he broke up with her.
Poor little girl. She couldn’t get over it, and her thoughts were extreme. Not only did her grades plummet, but she also suffered severe depression. In the end, her parents had no choice but to let her drop out of school.
Dr. Chen sighed, “Love holds people back.”
“Because she liked him too much.” Mu Anan suddenly spoke up.
Dr. Chen was puzzled, “What?”
Mu Anan shook her head, “What about the person she liked?”
Dr. Chen said, “I’ve heard her parents talk about it. It was a big deal, but the guy didn’t have any trouble at all and continued to muddle along every day. Poor little girl, she’s ruined by a scumbag.”
“He’s not a scumbag, but a beast, “Mu Anan said.
He had no mercy or conscience.
Calling him a scumbag was being generous.
Dr. Chen said, “Don’t get too emotionally involved. Every patient here has some story. Pay more attention to this young girl and don’t let her kill herself or find any tools to do so.”
Once a patient committed suicide, the hospital would have to bear a heavy responsibility.
“I understand.” Mu Anan said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to the office first.”
Dr. Chen nodded.
Mu Anan did not stay for long.
When she returned to the office, she found that Chen Hua had already arrived.
Mu Anan was surprised, “Didn’t I tell you to work the night shift?”
“I woke up from my nap. I had nothing to do, so I came over.” Chen Hua said, “I’m working the night shift consecutively, so I can learn something.”
She waved the book in her hand.
Chen Hua was different from Mu Anan.
Mu Anan was a hard-working top student who needed to put in a lot of effort to study to maintain her professional grades.
Chen Hua, on the other hand, belonged to the general type. She needed to spend a lot of time researching and pondering, and Chen Hua was especially willing to work hard in her profession.
“How are you feeling?”
Mu Anan closed the office door and looked around. She did not see Huo Xian.
He must have left again.
Mu Anan sat in her seat and explained the change of shifts.
“Senior Ruan Yu sent me a WeChat message.”
Chen Hua said that her mind was not on the matter of changing shifts.
The reason why she came early was first to study, and secondly, she was anxious and worried about one thing..
