Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before Dragon Slaying

Chapter 961 The Amnesiac Woman (Two in One, Please Subscribe!!!)

"Su Xiaoyan, paranoia, 10..."

Lu Mingfei stood in front of a ward on the fourth floor, reading the words on the door, and was stunned for a moment.

He looked around the wards on the entire sixth floor and some of the wards on the first floor, and had not seen a patient with a level of "10"... He remembered that the highest number was "9", which was "Alzheimer's disease", an organic mental disorder. When the disease is serious, it may even affect the body's organs. It is a mental illness that is difficult to treat.

But level “10”…what level of paranoia could be this serious?
In other words, wouldn't such a severe delusion make an ordinary person seriously... a lunatic?

There was still a faint yellow light on in the room. There was actually a transparent glass panel on the door through which one could see into the ward, probably to facilitate the caregivers to monitor the condition of the patients in the room at all times. But at this moment, the glass panel was covered by a layer of hazy mist. Lu Mingfei raised his hand and tried to wipe the mist off the glass to see what was happening in the room.

At this moment, he didn't care about avoiding suspicion. After all, she was his senior brother's mother, and Aunt Su Xiaoyan was usually very caring towards him.

But unexpectedly, Lu Mingfei only used a little force and the door was pushed open from the outside.

This door is not locked?
It was quiet during the holidays. Looking inside through the crack in the door, the warm yellow table lamp at the head of the bed was glowing. The whole room was filled with the scent of lavender, but Lu Mingfei could smell a faint smell of disinfectant hidden underneath the scent. The lavender scent was probably there to help with sleep and cover up the pungent smell of disinfectant.

The room was of quite high standard, with bedside tables, high-end paintings, a rubber wood desk and a large floor-to-ceiling window. The curtains were tightly closed, but one could imagine the garden landscape in the yard behind. On the table were building blocks and puzzles for entertaining, as well as some books - standard equipment for patients with mental illnesses, which could help them relieve boredom, distract their attention and activate their brains.

There were no electronic entertainment products such as televisions, nor any communication tools in the room. In the middle was a large double bed that looked very soft, with clean pure white quilt covers and sheets. There was an emergency call button at the head of the bed, probably so that the people inside could quickly call for caregivers if anything happened.

A woman was lying on the bed, covered with a not-too-thick blanket. Her arms and legs were stretched out of the blanket, revealing pure white skin. There was a syringe and a bandage on the back of her left hand. Lu Mingfei couldn't see the expression on her face from this angle, but the woman seemed to be asleep.

If there wasn't an IV drip hanging next to the bed, Lu Mingfei would have found it hard to tell that this was a hospital ward.

He looked at the empty corridor. Chu Zihang had not arrived yet, so he was about to close the door and leave. At this moment, the woman on the bed suddenly made a sound.

"Who are you? Who are you? Why are you standing there!" There was fear in the woman's voice.

Lu Mingfei quickly took a step forward and closed the door behind him. He explained in a panic, "Aunt Su, it's me, Lu Mingfei. I came here with my senior brother. I heard that you were sick, so we came to see you..."

Lu Mingfei said this, but the woman on the bed stopped moving. Lu Mingfei went over to take a look and saw that the woman was lying on the bed with her arms and legs spread out, eyes closed, and soft breathing sounds could be heard.

It turned out to be a dream...and it was a nightmare.

For some reason, it was Aunt Su who had the nightmare, but it was Lu Mingfei who was scared... Lu Mingfei was really afraid that Su Xiaoyan would suddenly press the call button on the bedside and call the nurses and doctors. After all, according to the rules, Su Xiaoyan was not allowed to be visited. If this matter was reported to his senior brother's stepfather, he didn't know if there would be any trouble, but at this critical juncture, it was better to have less trouble than more.

There was a chair next to the bed, so Lu Mingfei simply did not go out and sat down beside the bed. He looked at Su Xiaoyan on the bed. His senior brother's mother looked quite dead when she slept.

The sleeping posture was indeed not very elegant. Lu Mingfei was afraid of seeing something he shouldn't see, so he pulled the blanket and covered Su Xiaoyan's hands and feet. Lu Mingfei noticed that there were many old calluses on Su Xiaoyan's feet, which should have been left from learning to dance when she was young.

Her ankles and legs are white and slender. She is obviously about the same age as my aunt, but when you put the two of them together, you can't tell they are the same age. Even though she is sleeping and has no makeup on, you can tell that her skin is very delicate and well maintained. She looks no more than 30 years old. You can imagine that when she puts on makeup and stands on the stage, she is an unmatched beauty. I wonder how many men were fascinated by this woman when they were young.

According to what those aunts said when I visited Chu Zihang's home before, when Su Xiaoyan was young, her suitors could be lined up all the way to France... In fact, this is not an exaggeration at all. Su Xiaoyan has participated in several foreign performances, and she has gained a large number of foreign fans with just a few appearances... According to Chu Zihang, when he was in high school, he and his mother went out together, and some people often mistook them for siblings, and some even mistook them for a couple. Su Xiaoyan didn't mind. She always took Chu Zihang's arm and smiled happily. Passersby looked at this pair of "couple" with extremely high looks, and for a moment they didn't know who to envy.

It seems that Chu Zihang's looks should be more inherited from his mother. Chu Zihang never mentioned his father, but Lu Mingfei had seen him. He was a very talkative man, not easy to find in a crowd. It's not that he was not handsome, but he was a little unkempt. In short, it didn't look like a good match when standing with Chu's mother. However, when Lu Mingfei met Chu Zihang, Su Xiaoyan was already with Chu Zihang's stepfather, and Lu Mingfei had never seen Chu Zihang's biological parents together, but it was hard to imagine that a man like that could chase such a stunningly beautiful woman.

It shouldn't be just his words, Chu Zihang's father must have a hidden identity. Facing a man who dares to wield a knife even against a "God", Lu Mingfei thinks such a man is so handsome and definitely has great charisma... The image of a driver who usually nods and bows should just be his disguise.

A man like this, lurking in this city, is just for Odin, right?

Lu Mingfei didn’t know the true identity of Chu Zihang’s father, but it seemed that they were not the first group of people to discover Odin. Someone had already set their sights on the “God”... It was just that it was impossible to verify whether the conflict seven years ago was an accident or intentional.

It must have been an accident. Chu Zihang was still in the car at that time. However, Lu Mingfei could not see through the missing man. He was too mysterious. There was too little information about him so far. Even his wife... ex-wife and biological son did not know him.

"Chu Tianjiao..." Lu Mingfei murmured subconsciously. He remembered that his senior brother's father was called this name.

The woman who had been sleeping soundly on the bed suddenly opened her eyes and looked towards Lu Mingfei with her big eyes. There was a slight confusion in her eyes, as if she had just woken up and had not yet realized why there was an extra person beside her bed.

Lu Mingfei was still immersed in his own thoughts and did not notice for a moment that the woman in front of him had woken up.

“But how serious does the delusional disorder have to be to be labeled as level ten? Doesn’t even basic knowledge is lacking... No, I don’t even know what the evaluation criteria of this hospital are..." Lu Mingfei murmured.

"Level ten...what does that mean?" The sudden voice startled Lu Mingfei and he almost jumped up from his chair. He was surprised to see the woman approaching him with a pair of curious eyes.

"Ah...Auntie!" Lu Mingfei quickly stood up and greeted Su Xiaoyan.

“Shhhhh, keep your voice down.” Instead, Su Xiaoyan put her finger to her mouth, asking Lu Mingfei not to make too much noise. “You haven’t told me yet. I heard you say something about level ten. What does level ten mean?”

"No, I was thinking about the homework assigned by the school this time." Lu Mingfei looked at Su Xiaoyan in shock, "Auntie, do you... know me?"

"I don't know you... Do you think I have Alzheimer's disease at such a young age?" Su Xiaoyan rolled her eyes, "Ming Fei, how many times have you come to my house? I even said I accept you as my godson, are you teasing your aunt?"

Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Su Xiaoyan's basic cognitive ability was still there. There was no logical problem in her speech. As for her tone... She has always been like this. She is in her forties, but she is still alone with a girl in her twenties. If she were to play with Su Xiaoqiang, Liu Miaomiao and the others, they would probably become good sisters.

"Auntie, are you feeling okay?" Lu Mingfei sat back in his chair and asked tentatively, "Do you feel weak? Do you have a headache?"

"There's nothing wrong with me." Su Xiaoyan shook her head. "I eat and sleep well. Except for the occasional nightmares that wake me up, everything else is fine. Let me tell you, Mingfei, my life has become more regular recently. I can go to bed before midnight, and sometimes I can sleep until noon the next day. I feel full of energy."

Lu Mingfei looked at Su Xiaoyan and his brows slowly frowned... Through this brief conversation, Lu Mingfei discovered that there was nothing wrong with Su Xiaoyan.

She is as carefree as usual, as heartless as usual, with a personality like that of a little girl. She doesn't worry about anything at all because someone has already worried about it for her...but the strange thing is that she is too normal.

How could such a normal person be sent to the hospital? There was a sign saying "Level 10" on the door? And there was a smell of disinfectant in the room. It was inferred that the scene at that time should be the traces of disinfection after the injection of sedatives or some drugs. If it was just a nightmare, why was there still an IV drip on his hand?
Lu Mingfei raised his head and glanced at the turbid liquid in the IV bottle. There was no label on it, so he couldn't tell what kind of medicine it was, but it was definitely not a nutritional supplement like glucose.

"Auntie, do you know where this place is?" Lu Mingfei asked cautiously.

"Huh? Isn't it a high-end sanatorium?" Su Xiaoyan pressed her temple. "I've been having nightmares occasionally lately and waking up in the middle of the night, so the new therapist at home suggested that I come to live in her workplace for a while. Their service here is pretty good, and the environment is not bad either. I slept well just now."

Lu Mingfei thought to himself, “Actually you also had a nightmare just now, and it scared me.”

Lu Mingfei was even more confused, because Su Xiaoyan's words didn't match Aunt Tong's at all. Did she think she was staying in a sanatorium? But the words "Sacred Heart Charity Hospital" were clearly written on the door, and the security guard also said that people who have been sick for a while would be sent to this place... How could she be sent here for recuperation just because of a nightmare?

Lu Mingfei looked at Su Xiaoyan in front of him. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"By the way, Mingfei, you've returned to China?" Su Xiaoyan suddenly asked, "How did you know I was here?"

"Yes, I came back two days ago. Didn't my senior brother tell you?" Lu Mingfei nodded and replied, "My senior brother and I came here together. I went home with him and Aunt Tong said you were sent here, so we came here to look for you."

"Ah, my son is back too? Why didn't he say hello to me?" Su Xiaoyan was obviously stunned. She looked towards the door. "Where is he? Has he come yet? Why hasn't he come to see his mother yet?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned. A cold feeling crept up his back little by little. He looked at Su Xiaoyan in front of him and felt a sense of strangeness.

How is this going?

Didn't Senior Brother go home and meet his mother? But why did Su Xiaoyan act as if she hadn't seen Chu Zihang? How could she not know that Chu Zihang had returned? Lu Mingfei had clearly seen Senior Brother send her an email before boarding the plane.

Lu Mingfei finally understood where this sense of strangeness and disharmony came from. Su Xiaoyan's consciousness was really abnormal. It was not that her basic logical ability was problematic. She was a sober person, but her memory seemed to be in chaos.

Is this a kind of paranoia? Lu Mingfei didn't know, but he knew that if his senior brother saw his mother like this, he would definitely not be able to remain calm.

"Senior brother, he saw you fell asleep just now, so he should go out for a while." Lu Mingfei also glanced at the door and thought that his senior brother was too slow. Why didn't he come for so long?

"Auntie, you said you've been having nightmares lately. Do you remember what you dreamed about?" Since he was sitting here anyway, Lu Mingfei took the opportunity to ask.

"I dreamed... I think I lost something, I don't remember it very well." Su Xiaoyan thought for a while and shook her head, "Oh, nightmares are something you forget once you wake up, and they're not good things, so why remember them?"

“That’s true.” Lu Mingfei laughed and thought quickly about the entry point in his mind.

"By the way, Mingfei, you're going to be a sophomore soon, right?" Su Xiaoyan asked this suddenly, and Lu Mingfei was stunned.

“Sophomore?” Lu Mingfei said in surprise, “I’ve been a sophomore for a long time. I’ll be a junior in a while.”

"Ah? Are you kidding?" Su Xiaoyan was also stunned. "Our Chu Zihang will only be a junior in the second half of the year. Aren't you a year younger than him? I've always heard your senior brothers calling you, did you skip a grade? Did you skip a grade in college?"
