Chapter 52 Withdrawal reaction

Chapter 52 Withdrawal reaction
Wen Ruoci sat there for a long time after Quan Shijin left, occasionally turning the Buddhist beads that the man had forcefully put on her wrist.

It’s hard to describe the feeling, but I just feel numb and there’s a suffocating feeling in my heart.

She thought calmly that maybe it was because she had been too happy recently that she had such sequelae when she pulled herself away.

But she will get used to it after a while.

He staggered to his feet, took off his clothes and soaked in the bathtub.

The hand was injured and could not touch water, so it was placed on the edge of the bathtub.

The events of the recent period flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.

After all, there is no way to forget it easily.

With his eyes closed, his body continued to slide down as if he had lost consciousness.

It was not until his entire body was submerged in the bathtub and he felt suffocated that he reacted and suddenly climbed out of the bathtub.

Panting heavily.

There was no doubt that the bandages on his hands were all wet.

She put on a bathrobe expressionlessly, then removed the bandage, cleaned the wound again, and applied medicine to herself.

Finally, blow dry your hair.

It took more than an hour to do all this with one hand.

I suddenly wondered, if Quan Shijin was still here...

As soon as the thought came to her mind, she restrained herself.

If she trusts someone wholeheartedly and that person leaves her, she will only fall into deeper despair.

She didn't think about it anymore and lay down on the bed ready to go to sleep, but she still didn't sleep well.

I can wake up several times a night.

Looking at the dark and empty room, she felt as if there was a huge monster around her that wanted to devour her. There seemed to be an invisible hand strangling her neck, making it difficult for her to breathe.

At this time, she always couldn't help thinking, if only Quan Shijin were here.

She can sleep peacefully.

But he is not here.

She gave it up on her own initiative...

It's like a withdrawal reaction.

His hands hidden in the quilt tightly grasped the sheets beneath him. He couldn't help but climbed out of bed and swallowed another pill.

After she finished eating, she realized it belatedly.

She seems to be taking medicine a little too frequently recently.

This is not a good thing.

It could only mean that her condition had worsened.

She closed her eyes.

This was the first time she was able to predict her future so clearly.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Fortunately, there weren't many things in this world that made her nostalgic. She just had to finish what she wanted to do before her spirit completely collapsed.

The next day when she returned to the crew, the director was silent when he saw the bandage on her hand.

"How did you get hurt?"

She explained calmly, "It was an accident."

The director believes it was an accident.

After all, for actresses, hands are their second life. Who would hurt themselves for no reason?

He was just a little worried about the shooting progress.

"Is your injury serious?"

"It's just a few cuts from the mirror. It shouldn't be serious. I think it will heal in a week."

One week...

Director Guo is a person who pursues perfection extremely. He does not allow actors to act with flaws, so he gave Wen Ruoci a few days off.

"I will shoot other people's scenes these days, so you can rest."

Wen Ruoci lowered her eyes and said, "In that case, I want to go take care of some personal matters." The director had no objection, but he repeatedly warned her to be careful and not to hurt herself again.

Wen Ruoci agreed.

She left the crew and did not return to the capital, but went to Ningcheng and visited her father's cemetery.

Whenever she was really, really unhappy, she would go and sit at her father's grave.

The tombstone is quite clean, as if someone cleans it regularly.

She stroked the photo on the tombstone in a daze.

Even though everyone said her father was mentally ill, she never thought so.

He would tell her stories gently, make her a pretty little dress, bring her her favorite little gifts, and act like a spoiled child whenever she was unhappy.

Those scenes were right before her eyes, familiar to the core, yet so strange as if a hundred years had passed.

She closed her eyes and murmured, "Dad, you will protect me and help me do what I want to do, right?"

At this moment, a cry of surprise came from behind her.

"Miss, is that you?"

Wen Ruoci looked back at the octogenarian but very familiar old man standing in front of her. She was slightly stunned for a moment, suppressed all her emotions, and said lightly, "Uncle Bai? Why are you here?"

Housekeeper Bai saw that Wen Ruoci was obviously very excited, so he hurried over and held her hand, hiding his tears in his eyes and not letting them fall. "I'm old and can't work anymore. Besides, the master and the mistress are not happy to see me, and I have nowhere to go. So I just come to guard the graveyard of Master Tianze. After all, I watched Master Tianze grow up."

After saying this, he patted the back of Wen Ruoci's hand and looked at the photo on the tombstone again, "Master, if you see how pretty Miss has grown up to be, you will probably be happy too."

Wen Ruoci lowered her eyes, "Yes, he would be very happy, but it's a pity that he will never see it again."

She did remember one thing.

"Uncle Bai, there is actually something I have wanted to ask for a long time."

"What do you want to ask, miss?"

"I want to know how my father died and what happened to the fire?"

Butler Bai was silent for a while.

"In fact, I do not know."

"When the fire started, I was out. When I came back, I saw the villa was on fire. Miss, you were standing alone at the door of the villa, as if you had lost your soul. Your eyes were open, but you didn't react at all and couldn't even speak.

I went to many doctors but none of them could help. I was about to give up, but maybe God took pity on the young lady. I met a strange man in the hospital. He said that the young lady had been greatly stimulated and that if she was hypnotized about that memory, she would wake up. "

Wen Ruoci understood why she had lost part of her memory. "So, that person hypnotized part of my memory?"

The housekeeper said, "Yes, I hypnotized the young lady's memory of that year."

Wen Ruoci, "Do you know who that person is?"

The butler shook his head.

"I don't know. After hypnotizing the young lady's memory, the man left the hospital."

Here, he paused.
"After you woke up and learned about the situation, you refused to go look for Mu Tianen and Tangning no matter what. You were even a little too emotional. I had no choice but to send you to an orphanage and find a good family for you."

Wen Ruoci looked at him, "Did you choose the Wen family?"

The housekeeper nodded. "The couple of the Wen family are kind and often do charity work. They have a good reputation. I believe they will treat Miss well. Later, I secretly met Miss a few times in secret. Seeing that Miss was living a good life, I did not bother her any more."

Wen Ruoci lowered her eyes and said nothing more.

The housekeeper seemed to have guessed what Wen Ruoci was thinking, "Miss, it's a good thing that you can't remember some things. Just don't think about it, and don't think about how to restore your memory."

Her horrible appearance at that time would occasionally linger in his mind, and at one point he thought she was really going to die.

Wen Ruoci pulled her lips and said, "I know."

"Uncle Bai, I have to rush back to the capital, so I'll leave first. I'll come see you next time when I'm free."

"Okay." After that, Butler Bai seemed to be worried and gave a few more instructions, "Miss, don't think about how to make yourself remember. That may not be a good thing for you."

Wen Ruoci smiled faintly, "Okay, I understand."

After turning around, she wondered quietly whether Zhou Heng had any way to make her remember everything completely.

Or let Quan Shijin help her find that person...

She closed her eyes and thought of Quan Shijin again.

Quan Shijin is different from her. Even without her, he would still be the most beloved young master of the Quan family and a child of destiny.

You will live happily after parting ways with her.

There is no need for her to worry about anything.
