You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 259

Chapter 259 Believe It Is True

“Junior?” Bai Rong’s image flashed in Gu Mingchen’s mind.

“Yes. The general idea of her thesis was: Many causes of mental illness come from pain. Mentally ill patients use different types of emotions and symptoms to release the pain. For example, being irritable, smashing things, self-harm, harming others, dementia, being forgetful, or even having multiple personalities.

“If mentally ill patients can forget their pain in the past, although they’ll lose some memories, they’ll be able to recover slowly and go back to their normal lives.

“She’s committed to using hypnosis on patients for them to forget their cause of pain. This has cured many of the severely mentally ill patients. How about trying her? She’s very famous in this circle,” Xu Changhe recommended.

“The multiple personalities in dissociative identity disorder are primarily caused by experiencing pain, and hypnosis may not work. So what should we do then?” Gu Mingchen asked gloomily.

“My junior once cured a patient with dissociative identity disorder. She used hypnosis to find the main personality that was hiding from reality and pain. Through that, she was able to communicate with the main personality and guide them. You can give her a shot.”

“What’s her name?” Gu Mingchen asked.

“Bai Rong. I’ll give you her contact number later,” Xu Changhe said earnestly.

Gu Mingchen’s heart sank in despair.

“What if the psychologist has dissociative identity disorder himself? What should he do then? Is it harder to cure the dissociative identity disorder of the psychologist?” Gu Mingchen asked worriedly.

“Well, I haven’t met a case like that, but my junior tried hypnosis on herself and failed. She said that was because she was a psychologist, so there would be psychological hints that would make it difficult to succeed. If the person with dissociative identity disorder was a psychologist, it would indeed be more difficult to cure. I’ll give you my junior’s number shortly. You should consult with her. She’s better in this field than me,” Xu Changhe said modestly.

“Alright, I understand. Thank you. Let me know how much the consultation fee costs. I’ll transfer it to your account,” Gu Mingchen uttered in a low voice, gazing in front of him thoughtfully.

“I didn’t help you with anything, so you don’t have to pay the consultation fees. I have a seminar in A City next Sunday. You can come over. I’ll send you the address.” Xu Changhe smiled.

“Alright, send it over.” Gu Mingchen ended the call.

He walked towards the window and looked in the direction of Cheng Jinrong’s house. His gaze was as dark as black ink.

Bai Rong had returned to Su Xuyan’s side in exchange for him releasing Gu Mingchen. The experience was too painful so she had chosen to escape.

Even if she gave up on herself, he would never give up on her.

The next morning,

Gu Mingchen went to Cheng Jinrong’s house and knocked on the door.

Cheng Jinrong opened the door and smiled when he saw it was Gu Mingchen. He reminded him, “She’s not awake yet. I’m going to work. I bought breakfast for her, but it may turn cold by the time she wakes up.”

“I can take care of her,” Gu Mingchen said in a deep voice.

Cheng Jinrong tapped Gu Mingchen on the shoulder and left the house.

Gu Mingchen sat on the sofa and looked up the many things he wanted to know on the internet.

But the things he wanted to know were unpopular. Only a few people knew about it. Even if there were answers, they were basic facts that he already knew.

There were only a few experts in the mental illness field.

Bai Rong only woke up after noon.

She got out of bed to brush her teeth, washed up, and changed into a fresh outfit before coming out of her room.

When she saw Gu Mingchen, she was stunned for a moment before curling her lips into a smile. “You came to see me?”

“I came here to return your bag. Also, you probably know that I lost some parts of my memories. You’re an expert in psychology. I was hoping you could help me get my memories back. Let me know your price.” Gu Mingchen looked at her with a deep gaze.

“Your loss might be due to damage to your nerves. In layman’s terms, this would be a problem in the hardware instead of a mental issue. You should visit a neurologist.” Bai Rong spotted her bag on the sofa. She picked it up and took her phone out.

Her phone was off.

“I’ve already visited a neurologist. There was no problem. What I need is psychological treatment. Please help me,” Gu Mingchen said gruffly. There was a slight ripple of emotions in his eyes.

Bai Rong looked at him and was silent for a moment. “I’ve accepted the job for treating Lu Xingzhou’s son.”

“I know that’s for the weekdays. I can do it on the weekends. I’m fine with waiting,” Gu Mingchen quickly cut her off.

“You!” Bai Rong paused. “Are you being clingy?”

“This is called protecting,” Gu Mingchen corrected her.

Bai Rong was startled at his words. Her eyes clouded over before she replied, “Let me think about it.”

“Sure.” Gu Mingchen stood up. “Let me treat you to a meal.”

“Sorry, but I’ll have to decline. I have enough money for food. I still have some matters on hand, so I won’t be seeing you out,” Bai Rong said coldly.

Gu Mingchen’s Adam’s apple bobbed in his throat as he swallowed. His tone was bitter when he declared, “I just want to let you know that even if the whole world abandons you, I won’t. I can wait for the day you grow tired. No matter if it takes a month, a year, or my whole life.”

Something flickered in Bai Rong’s eyes. She watched as Gu Mingchen turned and left the room.

Lowering her gaze, she grasped her chest with her hand and murmured to herself. “Your heart aches for him, right? A whole life? Unfortunately, you probably won’t live past a year. I won’t drag him down, don’t worry.”

Bai Rong released her grip, her eyes teary.

She switched on her phone.

Notifications from a bunch of missed calls came in like a storm.

She didn’t check any text messages but called Su Xuyan instead.

“Where are you? Are you tired of living?” Su Xuyan roared furiously.

“I’m in Jadeborough. Would you believe me if I said I walked here?” Bai Rong replied calmly.

“From now on, I forbid you from switching off your phone and not answering my calls. You have to come when I want to see you. Am I clear!” Su Xuyan commanded agitatedly.

Bai Rong smiled lightly, not taking his anger and commands seriously. “Su Xuyan, I miss you. Can you meet me in Jadeborough today?”

Su Xuyan was stunned. “What did you say? You miss me?”

“Yeah. I’ve been thinking a lot these days. About how you appeared in front of my school back then and gifted me flowers. About how you helped me find a job and brought my mother out of the nursing home. I even thought about our marriage, about your betrayal that made me give up. Yet in the past three years, you’ve protected me. I want to start over with you. Can I?” Bai Rong said calmly.

“Are you being serious or joking?” Su Xuyan couldn’t believe his ears.

“If you believe it, then it’s real. If you don’t, then it’s a joke. Trust your own instincts. I’ll do what I feel is right.” Bai Rong curled her lips slightly, but her gaze was ice cold.

“I’ll go over now. Send me your address,” Su Xuyan said. He hung up the call and immediately drove to the train station.
