Chapter 402 Dong Hanmei suffers from schizophrenia
Zhan Mengyan stood there frozen, with her hands suspended in the air, as if she was under a spell. She held a tissue in her hand but didn't know how to pass it to Dong Chunmei.
Zhan Mengyan could only stammer: "Second sister, don't... don't... don't cry..." As soon as she said this, she immediately regretted it, as if this sentence would only make Dong Chunmei's crying more heartbreaking.
Zhan Mengyan wanted to hug her second sister Dong Chunmei, but her hands seemed to be out of control and she didn't know where to put them. She stretched out her hands and finally patted her second sister Dong Chunmei's shoulders randomly, with a flustered rhythm as if she was typing Morse code. Her eyebrows were twisted into a mess, the corners of her mouth twitched, and her eyes fled back and forth between Dong Chunmei's tearful face and the ground. She didn't know how to comfort her second sister Dong Chunmei who was immersed in sadness...
"Chunmei, it's time to cry now. Why are you crying to a child? Seeing you crying, Zhan Mengyan was scared and she didn't know what to do. Chunmei, you have to be strong. Your younger sister Dong Hanmei still needs your care. Tongtong is still looking forward to our return home. Your eldest sister's memorial service still needs your help in preparing... You haven't eaten all day today. I just bought some buns. Eat some to replenish your energy. If you collapse again, this family will collapse..."
While speaking, the second brother-in-law Li Chunfu walked into the ward, took out a bun with one hand, and gently stroked Dong Chunmei's shoulder with the other hand.
Li Chunfu's words brought Dong Chunmei back from her sad tears.
"Sister Mengyan, did I scare you? I don't know why I felt so close to you when I saw you, and I couldn't control my emotions. Yes, I can't cry anymore, there are still many things I need to do..."
As Dong Chunmei spoke, she looked at Zhan Mengyan, who was at a loss, and awkwardly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the corner of her clothes.
"Yes! Turn your grief into strength and eat buns! Sister Mengyan, you can also encourage your second sister and help eat a bun."
As Li Chunfu spoke, he held a bun in one hand and handed it to the two of them.
Zhan Mengyan was about to refuse, but when she saw Li Chunfu's firm and sincere eyes, she subconsciously took the bun and took a big bite with tears in her eyes.
Dong Chunmei also hesitated for a moment, but under Li Chunfu's pleading and caring gaze, she finally took the bun and started eating.
In the ward, it was so quiet that one could feel the heaviness of time. Several people ate buns silently and with difficulty. Every second seemed like endless torture. Several people were immersed in their own sorrow.
The white tone of the ward made everything look gloomy and deserted. People seemed to be suffocated by an invisible weight. The lights shone on the beds, reflecting the frozen sadness on people's tired faces. The whole ward seemed to have been muted.
"Bed number two, Dong Hanmei, it's time for the IV."
As the female nurse was speaking, she pushed a medical cart into the ward, breaking the silence.
Dong Hanmei stared at the ceiling with her big empty eyes. When she saw the nurse coming, she suddenly became irritable.
"Devil! Devil! Get out of here! Get out of here!"
Dong Hanmei shouted and waved her arms.
Li Chunfu and Dong Chunmei skillfully held Dong Hanmei down.
The nurse quickly tied Dong Hanmei's arm with an elastic band, disinfected her arm, and inserted the needle on the infusion tube into Dong Hanmei's arm. A stream of blood flowed out of the needle. Zhan Mengyan subconsciously covered her eyes.
After the female nurse left the ward, Dong Hanmei regained her composure and stopped yelling. Her eyes returned to their original empty and dull look.
Zhan Mengyan was stunned again.
"Sister Mengyan, go back and have a rest. You have school tomorrow. The hospital is not a place for a girl like you to stay. Why are your hands so cold? You must have been frightened by Dong Hanmei's scream again. The doctor said: Sister Hanmei seems to have schizophrenia. Tomorrow we are going to send her to Kangjing Hospital, which specializes in treating mental illness. You don't have to come to the hospital to see her anymore. When she recovers, she will come to see you. You will play and study together like before..."
While speaking, the second sister Dong Chunmei held Zhan Mengyan's cold hand.
