Chapter 346 - 320: Absolute Authority
“Jingjing now confuses dreams and reality. If her fear continues to escalate, it will develop into schizophrenia.”
“My poor daughter…” Jingjing’s mother covered her mouth and sobbed.
“At first, I didn’t let her find that man, but she insisted. He had nothing but arrogance, feeling that everyone’s words were against him. Our whole family had to be careful when talking to him, and now it’s turned out like this! If he hadn’t provoked Jingjing, would she have run out in the middle of the night?” Jingjing’s father complained.
Xiao Qian glanced at him and reassured him. “Uncle, your anger now only makes you sick and has no other effect. The incident has happened, and it’s meaningless to blame anyone. What we need now is a solution.”
“What can we do? It’s already like this!” Jingjing’s father said bluntly.
It wasn’t directed at Xiao Qian, but the cruel reality had forced an intellectual of such high demeanor into overnight white hair, leaving only anger towards fate.
Yu Minglang couldn’t empathize as Xiao Qian did and unconsciously stepped forward to shield Xiao Qian when someone yelled at her.
After encountering an event, everyone’s body and consciousness will make their most genuine response. Now Jingjing’s parents, Jingjing, and Yu Minglang were all making their most genuine responses.
Xiao Qian patted Yu Minglang and signaled him to step back.
In such a situation, she had to remain neutral because she was a doctor.
“I’m here to solve the problem now, so please cooperate with me.”
“You say, what can we do?”
“I need to spend some time alone with Jingjing.”
“No! I have to be there when you treat her!” Yu Minglang decisively vetoed.
What a joke, letting his Xiao Mei be with someone with unstable mental state, who knows what might happen!
What’s more, this woman’s ex-fiance just did such a thing during the day, and Xiao Mei was going to meet her alone at night. What if this woman went crazy and stabbed Xiao Mei with something dangerous? What would he do?!
“Xiao Qiang, she must be rejecting all men now. If you go in, it will delay my treatment, and we can’t afford that. If it gets any later, the child will go insane, which isn’t fair to her!”
“Then you go and be with someone emotionally unstable, and is that fair to me?!”
Yu Minglang’s emotions were uncontrollable when it came to Xiao Qian’s safety.
Xiao Qian held his hand, “Xiao Qiang, you have to believe in my professionalism. We have the best methods to deal with such patients.”
“What method?”
“Remove all sharp objects, heavy objects, and dangerous items from her room. If necessary, you can restrain her.”
Yu Minglang squinted, and Xiao Qian patted him, “Silly Xiao Qiang, where has your IQ_gone? How could I possibly do such things that endanger myself for others?”
Actually, seeing him worrying about her made her feel a bit proud. While showing her professionalism, Xiao Qian also slightly teased him.
After Yu Minglang realized that he had been played by her, he used a helpless look to warn her, “Chen Xiaomei, wait till we get back home, and I’ll kiss your little mouth till it breaks!”
Xiao Qian pretended not to see it.
“What should I call you?” Jingjing’s mother asked.
“You can call me Dr. Chen. I am a professional psychologist.”
“Unlicensed…” Xiao Qiang, who was played, whispered, Xiao Qian looked at him, and he stared at the ceiling.
“Dr. Chen, why does she keep talking about snakes, poisonous snakes, and snakes as big as mountains wrapping around her, trying to bite her?”
“Poisonous snakes…?”
“Yes.”
“Does she say that she bleeds?”
“It seems that she does not… Right, she keeps saying that she hasn’t been defiled. She kept saying this, and before the man caused trouble, she knelt in front of him and repeated it continuously. After being pushed away, she started to lose control and cry. Actually, when she first came back, she wasn’t like this. She seemed just a bit frightened. But after that man kept calling her dirty, she changed.”
“Damn it…” Xiao Qian felt that she was too lenient with the Phoenix Man earlier in the day.
The secondary harm he caused to the girl was too great.
“Did you give her sleeping pills or something like that?” Xiao Qian asked.
“Yes, she kept crying, so the doctor injected a sedative, but she woke up and kept shouting about snakes wrapping around her, snakes as big as mountains.”
“Her self-consciousness has started to be confused, and the huge stimulus made her unable to distinguish between reality and the dream. If I don’t treat her, she’ll be in danger, but psychological intervention alone isn’t enough. She needs medication as well. After I talk to her, you’ll have to take her to the Psychiatry Department for medication.”
“Qian Bao, what does the snake represent?” Yu Minglang asked curiously.
“Dreams are a quiet path to the subconscious. Psychologists believe that dreams can open the door to the subconscious part. Dreams account for about a fifth of sleep time, and a person spends about six years of their life dreaming. From a psychological point of view, a snake can represent many things.”
“Qian Bao, are you playing Zhou Gong’s dream interpretation?”
“No, I’m analyzing scientifically. In psychology, we think that snakes have male meanings. Poisonous snakes indicate that she might have suffered from violent infringement. As big as a mountain indicates that in her mind, the man who hurt her was too powerful to break free from.”
If a girl has suffered from violent infringement, especially a girl without any experience in this area, dreaming of a poisonous snake biting and bleeding would symbolize a review of the most terrible experiences. But Xiao Qian was puzzled; why didn’t Jingjing bleed in her dreams?
“My poor daughter… Dr. Chen, you must help her, I beg you!”
Xiao Qian patted Jingjing’s mother’s hand, “Aunt, I couldn’t protect her in the mountains, but once out of there, I’ll give my best effort to help her recover.”
Xiao Qian used an affirmative sentence. In her field, she was absolute authority.
As for the specifics, she would have to see the girl first.
Xiao Qian asked Jingjing’s mother to go to the room first and remove all the dangerous items. When Xiao Qian entered, Jingjing was huddled in the corner, wrapped tightly in a blanket, continually shivering and mumbling.
“Snake, there’s a snake, don’t come over!”
Xiao Qian felt sad at the sight. She remembered the girl’s unyielding attempts to escape from her captors just a short while ago. The girl had done nothing wrong, but fate had severely tortured her nonetheless.
But Xiao Qian quickly suppressed her emotions. At this moment, she couldn’t engage in any feelings and had to maintain objectivity and neutrality.
Xiao Qian walked in front of her, squatted down, and asked,
“Do you know me?”
“You are…Ah! It’s you! Hurry up and run, the snake is coming, the snake is coming, the snake is going to bite us!” Jingjing hugged Xiao Qian tightly, and Xiao Qian patted her.
“What kind of snake is it?”
“A snake as big as a mountain, and countless small snakes. In front of me is a river of blood, I want to cross the river, but I can’t, the river is full of snakes, ah!” The girl screamed in horror, and Xiao Qian’s eyes darkened.
The situation was already so serious.
