Soul Patch

Chapter 148 Take medicine, take medicine, take medicine!

Around dusk, while the family was having dinner at the restaurant, the ambulance arrived.

The doctor saw that the person was tied up and wanted to help untie him.

But Jia Nan struggled fiercely, constantly shouting that she wanted to kill Wen Jie, that he was a murderer, and that she wanted to tear him to pieces...

The doctor abandoned that idea.

Soon, Jia Nan was forcefully carried out on a stretcher by two or three doctors in white coats.

Wenjie went out with the others, glancing at Jia Nan on the stretcher every now and then. Jia Nan was very agitated, as if he had suffered a great shock, and he kept struggling on the stretcher. The doctors had to hold him down with force to keep him on the stretcher.

Wenjie didn't step forward to help, fearing it would backfire and that Jia Nan might become even more agitated after seeing him and break free from the doctors' restraints.

He tactfully followed behind the group. Wen Tianyi also put down his chopsticks, swallowed the fish in his mouth, and got up to follow. Wenjie saw his father following, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered:

"Dad, why are you out here too? Go back and eat. I'll keep an eye on things here."

“I just heard you say that his name is Jia Nan? His surname is Jia…” Wen Tianyi didn’t answer Wen Jie’s question; he seemed to have thought of something.

Soon the ambulance took Jia Nan away. Wenjie turned around, patted his father on the shoulder, and gestured for him to go back. Everyone was gone, so why was he still standing outside the door?

"Oh," Wen Tianyi suddenly came to his senses and followed Wen Jie back to the dining table.

Before he could even settle into his seat, Wen Tianyi turned to look at Wen Jie and asked, "How do you know this Jia Nan? He's mentally unstable, didn't you notice before?"

Wenjie was drinking fish soup when he heard his father say that Jia Nan was mentally ill. He almost choked on his soup. He patted his chest and swallowed the soup in his mouth: "No, no... He was fine before. I don't know what triggered this."

He reached into the fish dish with his chopsticks, picked up a piece, and said with a grin, "Come on, Dad, eat this. It's very nutritious."

Wen Tianyi also took a closer look and felt something white flash before his eyes before Wen Jie put it into his bowl.

He looked down and chuckled; it was a fish bubble.

Wen Tianyi raised his hand and tapped Wen Jie on the head: "You little rascal, you're getting more and more mischievous!"

As he spoke, he picked up the fish maw and took it out.

Wenjie's mother watched the father and son bickering and smiled secretly. Then, she pretended to be angry and tapped the table, saying, "We're eating! What's all this noise about? Wenjie, hurry up and eat the fish; it's good for your brain!"

Wenjie had been happily chewing a piece of meat in her mouth when she heard her mother's words. Sensing something was wrong, she turned to her mother and said with displeasure:

"Mom, you and Dad should eat more. I'm so young, I don't need to."

Wen Tianyi, who had been eating in silence, paused for a moment upon hearing this. He looked up and exchanged a glance with his wife. He gently shook his head at her.

Wenjie's mother sighed almost imperceptibly. She picked up her chopsticks, looked at the fish, the mixed vegetables, and the boiled shrimp... For some reason, she lost her appetite for any of the dishes.

I simply sat there quietly, watching the father and son eat.

When his father and mother locked eyes, Wenjie pretended not to notice, but in that instant, he saw every nuance of their expressions.

What? Could it be that after I logged out of the system, my memory gaps caused memory loss, and my parents have already noticed?

My mind is a jumbled mess, as if many things are mixed together, so complicated that I can't make sense of it.

Why was Andy's car accident story corrected, and why was Jia Nan's killing of her father also corrected?

Jia Nan doesn't know Andy. Assuming Jia Nan isn't lying to himself, he really doesn't know Andy...

"Hiss!" Wenjie felt a sharp pain, and after concentrating for a moment, he felt a headache.

He put down his chopsticks and pressed his temples.

This subtle movement did not escape his mother's notice. She immediately became anxious, bringing her face close to Wenjie's and asking with concern, "What's wrong? Is your head hurting again? Wait a moment, I'll get you some medicine."

"..."

Wenjie looked up in surprise, saw the tense expression on his face, waved his hand and smiled: "No need, it's nothing."

The mother wouldn't listen, and shouted into the living room, "Anran, bring Wenjie's medicine over."

“Okay! Coming right away,” An Ran replied crisply.

"Mom, I'm really fine. Don't make me take medicine all the time. When I was little, I was a bit skinny, so you made me drink Chinese medicine. When I was a teenager, I was a bit short, so you made me take calcium supplements. Now I just haven't rested well, and I feel a little dizzy. Look at you..."

Before Wenjie could finish speaking, Anran had already handed a small bottle to her mother.

The mother put on a stern face and said seriously, "Listen to me, come on... eat this."

As she spoke, she unscrewed the bottle cap, poured out a small yellow granule onto the cap, and handed the cap to Wenjie.

Wenjie stared at the small pill, somewhat amused and exasperated, and said, "Dad, look at Mom, she insists I take medicine, but I'm not sick, why should I take medicine?"

Wen Tianyi slammed down his chopsticks and said seriously, "Wenjie, don't be willful. Listen to your mother. Don't you have a headache and can't sleep well? Then you need to take your medicine."

"Yes, son, listen to your mother. This is meant to calm your nerves. Take it, sleep it off, and your headache will be gone!"

He pushed the warm water that An Ran had prepared in front of him and said without room for argument, "Take your medicine."

Wenjie looked at his father, whose lips moved as he repeated the same words: "Take your medicine."

"Taking medicine"

"Taking medicine"

Wenjie was speechless. He simply took the cap, poured the small pill from the cap into his mouth, tilted his head back, drank some water, and swallowed it.

The father and mother wore relieved smiles.

"I'm done eating, I'm going upstairs to sleep now." Wenjie said this and walked upstairs.

He went upstairs to his bedroom and closed the door. He ran to the bathroom, pulled out a tissue, and spat out the pill that had been pressed under his tongue. He watched as the small yellow granules melted slightly, and felt a bitter taste under his tongue.

He irritably crumpled the tissue into a ball and stuffed it into his pocket.

Looking into the bedroom, on the tatami table, there were four bottles of mineral water neatly stacked on the left.

Jia Nan just drank a whole bottle of it.

He lay on the bed, the soft mattress making him feel comfortable, staring at the ceiling, trying to sort out his thoughts that had just been interrupted.

That night, Andy impersonated Yang Shanshan and poisoned herself. Afterwards, Jia Nan tried to kill her, but was saved by her father.

My father must have arrived at this point in time and space through the system and by using a system mission, and discovered that I was the target of that mission.

After Andy's car accident was corrected, she didn't collude with Jia Nan, and therefore wouldn't impersonate Yang Shanshan to poison her. Without being poisoned, Jia Nan couldn't defeat her.

Therefore, Jia Nan failed to kill himself or his father.

So, is Yang Shanshan also alive?

After Wenjie left the restaurant, Wen Tianyi looked at his wife and sighed:

"Don't keep bringing up Xiao Jie's illness. It will put pressure on him and make it harder for him to get better."

Zhao Ruyun, Wenjie's mother, reddened her eyes and said aggrievedly, "I was just worried. I didn't know what illness Wenjie had."

"Hysteria? Didn't the doctor mention it last time? Why do you always refuse to face reality? If you weren't sick, the doctor would have given you a diagnosis!"

Seeing his wife's tears welling up in her eyes, Wen Tianyi felt a little annoyed. He tugged at his collar and said indifferently, "I'm going out for a smoke after I've finished eating."
