Chapter 788: That was a fluke

Zhuang Long’s expression changed. He was silent and solemn.

“Is there still a cure for this?”

Zhuang Long calmly accepted the fact that he had schizophrenia. He only wanted to know if his condition could be cured.

The doctor said, “Personally, I think it’s possible.”

Zhuang Long’s eyes lit up. “How?”

The doctor said, “You have to face your past and figure out what happened in the past. As long as you remember everything and overcome your former fear, there’s no need for the secondary personality to exist.”

It was easy to say, but it was not easy to do.

Zhuang Long felt that this hope was slim. He asked the doctor, “Can hypnosis make me remember?”

“Hypnosis won’t work in your situation.”

So he had to let him find the truth himself and overcome his fear.

…

When he left the hospital, Zhuang Long completely lost the composure on his face. His face darkened as he sat in the driver’s seat. His hands that were holding the steering wheel were trembling uncontrollably.

After watching the surveillance video, Zhuang Long finally touched the truth of his divorce with Xiao Li.

......

It turned out that the divorce was his last resort to protect the mother and son.

Zhuang Long felt ridiculous.

How did this happen?

He placed a hand to his lips and bit his index finger with his teeth. He was uneasy and afraid.

When Zhuang Long returned home, his expression was ugly.

When Xiao Meng and Zhuang Qilin noticed his abnormality, they were very worried about him. Xiao Meng asked him what was wrong, but Zhuang Long only said that he did not sleep well last night and needed to catch up on his sleep.

Xiao Meng knew that Zhuang Long was fooling her. Seeing her son’s uncomfortable expression, she could not bear to continue asking. “Then rest well…” After Xiao Meng finished speaking, she saw Zhuang Long go upstairs. Zhuang Qilin hesitated for a moment before following him upstairs.

He opened the door to the third floor and saw Zhuang Long lying on the bed.

It was summer, and he hid under the blanket. Zhuang Qilin felt hot for him. Zhuang Qilin sat by the bed and poked the bump on the bed with a finger. “Hey…”

Zhuang Long said, “Don’t poke me. I’m already dead.”

Zhuang Qilin refused to believe it and continued to poke.

Zhuang Long was so annoyed by him that he had no choice but to lift the blanket and look at the ceiling like a dead fish. He did not move at all. Zhuang Qilin lay down beside him. One was a big body and the other was a small body. Lying together, they were exceptionally warm. Zhuang Long turned his head and looked at the small face close to him. He imitated Zhuang Qilin and poked his face with a finger.

Zhuang Qilin brushed away his fingers.

Zhuang Long continued to poke.

Zhuang Qilin clicked his tongue and rolled his eyes. He asked him, “Why are you so childish?”

Zhuang Long said, “I feel terrible.”

Zhuang Qilin was speechless.

Zhuang Long showed weakness, and Zhuang Qilin was too embarrassed to hurt his little heart anymore. He turned over and faced his father. He held Zhuang Long’s fingers and asked him in a muffled voice, “What’s wrong? Where exactly did you go today?”

“…The hospital.” He decided not to hide it from Zhuang Qilin.

Zhuang Qilin actually said, “He really went to the hospital…” He had already guessed it.

Zhuang Long was surprised. “You knew I was going?”

“Yeah.”

“You’re so smart. Even smarter than me.”

“After all, each wave is stronger than the last. The previous wave was killed on the beach.”

Zhuang Long was speechless.

“After hearing what you said last night, I think I might be sick. I went to see the doctor today and realized that I was indeed sick.”

“What illness?”

“Schizophrenia.”

Zhuang Qilin nodded, not surprised.

Zhuang Long asked him, “You guessed it long ago, didn’t you?”

“Mom told me,” Zhuang Qilin said. “Mom only told me about this a while ago. In the past, I only knew that there was something wrong with you, but I didn’t know what was wrong with you. Mom said that you had many personalities. After that, I went to Google and found out about multiple personalities… It was quite troublesome.”

Zhuang Long listened to his son quietly. He finally could not help but ask the question in his heart. “Were you afraid when you were alone with me?”

Zhuang Qilin’s body seemed to stiffen.

Zhuang Long realized it and his eyes darkened.

He recalled some of the past that he had neglected. He said in a deep voice, “Your mother didn’t allow me to meet you in the past because she was afraid that I would hurt you, right?”

Zhuang Qilin did not answer.

Zhuang Long knew that he had guessed correctly.

So this was the real reason why Xiao Li did not allow her to get close to the child.

Zhuang Long had always thought that Xiao Li was stingy. After the divorce, she even took away his chance to meet his son. Only now did he know that there was such a shocking truth hidden behind this matter.

“What are you thinking about?” Zhuang Long’s silence made Zhuang Qilin feel terrible.

Zhuang Qilin still liked his father who was cheerful and liked to joke around. He was not used to such a silent father.

Zhuang Long said, “I’m thinking that your mother is right.”

“What?”

“She was right not to allow me to meet you.” Zhuang Long thought of the time he helped Ji Yinbing move. He had actually instigated little Mo Li to commit a crime. When he thought about it now, he only felt afraid. He was afraid that he would hurt Zhuang Qilin if he continued to spend time with him.

“Qilin, listen to Dad. Go back with your mother in the afternoon.”

Zhuang Qilin’s face darkened. He said, “I don’t want to.”

“Qilin, be good and go back with your mother. Dad will be a little busy during this period of time and won’t have time to take care of you…”

“You’re chasing me away. You’re afraid that you’ll hurt me.” Zhuang Qilin’s heart was clear. He hugged his father like an octopus. He threw a tantrum and said, “I won’t leave you. Mom asked me to come over and accompany you. Mom and I believe that you won’t really hurt us.”

“Just like that night. You’ll always wake up. You won’t hurt us.”

Zhuang Long suddenly collapsed and roared, “That was a fluke!”

Zhuang Qilin was so frightened by Zhuang Long’s sudden roar that he was speechless.

Zhuang Long also realized that he had lost control and frightened the child. He suddenly got up and sat by the bed, hugging his head with his hands. Zhuang Qilin also sat up. He knelt on the bed and stared speechlessly at Zhuang Long’s sad back.

“Dad…”

Zhuang Long said, “Qilin, go back with your mother, okay?” There was a hint of pleading in the man’s words.

Zhuang Qilin’s shoulders slumped and he said softly, “…Okay.”

…

Xiao Li only arrived at the Zhuang family when it was almost lunchtime.

She drove straight over from the company after work. She was wearing a orange-red dress with her hair draped over her shoulders, looking like an elite career woman. The moment she entered the house, Zhuang Long saw her. He subconsciously stared at Xiao Li’s neck.

Xiao Li’s neck was smooth and fair without any fingerprints.

Zhuang Long thought of the harm he had done to this woman and could not help but clench his fists.
