Chapter 318: Next to each other

Even in the living room, far away from the hospital bed inside, and there was a wall in the middle, Pei Shao still spoke very quietly.

Lu Huaishen was silent for a moment and said, "Well done." ”

Then bury your head and continue eating.

Soon after the meal, the doctor on duty in the obstetrics and gynecology department found Lu Huaishen before the shift and discussed Jiang Ruo's condition with him.

In fact, he had already postponed his end of work, so he consulted him in order to wait for a colleague in the psychiatric department who had a good relationship to come to work.

Lu Huaishen and the two doctors went to the office, leaving Pei Shao to guard Jiang Ruo in the ward.

When he arrived at the ward, the psychiatrist asked Lu Huai what had happened before he came to the hospital.

Lu Huaishen said: "She was kidnapped and just came out. ”

The doctor nodded and said, "Then our conclusion is that your wife may be suffering from PTSD. She became anxious and reacted abnormally when she saw the blood on your arm, most likely because she saw the same scene in the kidnapping, leaving a scar in her heart. This is called traumatic experience symptoms, which is what we call touching the scene, and when you see a similar scene, you will feel that the event that left her psychological trauma before will happen again. and her excessive startle and startle responses, both of which are consistent with the clinical manifestations of post-traumatic stress disorder. ”

After the doctor finished speaking, he habitually added: "Of course, this is our preliminary inference. In view of the fact that you are going back to Donglin City today, it is recommended that you go back to a psychiatrist for further diagnosis and treatment. ”

Lu Huaishen couldn't help but tighten his eyebrows, "Is it easy to cure?"

He only knew that this was a mental illness, and he didn't know how serious it could be, and he wanted to be mentally prepared in advance.

The doctor said: "In fact, this disease can be big or small, if the symptoms are mild, it may be slowly reduced to cure in a few weeks or a month, and if it is serious, it may last for months and years, and it is easy to be accompanied by depression and anxiety, especially if she is now pregnant, the hormones in the body are unstable, and the postpartum will show a cliff-like decline, if there is no relief at that time, you have to pay close attention to it." It stands to reason that this disease usually occurs within a few days of the occurrence of the traumatic event, either the incident has occurred for a period of time, or the wife's symptoms are more severe, and then it is necessary to pay attention to observe whether the clinical symptoms are aggravated. ”

Lu Huaishen's expression was solemn, and from the moment he heard about this disease, his eyebrows had not been opened.

Although the doctor also stated the facts and possibilities, he did not want to deliberately make the patient and family fearful, and said: "Don't be too nervous, try to accompany and comfort her, and actively accept the treatment." I remember that there is an authority in the neurology department of the First Hospital of Donglin City, and I believe it will be of great help to you. ”

"Okay, thank you, doctor. ”

……

Jiang Ruo slept for a long time, very deeply, but not very peacefully.

Two men were arrested on the island last night, and the two men refused to confess their accomplices, and Chen Jinnan was communicating with the Guangdong provincial police who participated in the operation last night to prepare to hand over the suspects.

Regarding this matter, Lu Huaishen made several phone calls with Gao Sui and Chen Jinnan, in addition, there are also things related to Bo Lu, and he must keep in touch with Lu at any time, except for the phone calls of these three people, other work calls are handled by Pei Shao.

When he answered the phone, Lu Huaishen left the ward, and the rest of the time, he sat beside the bed, looked at her, and counted the number of times she frowned in her dreams.

Every time her brows furrowed tightly, her fingers clutched the quilt hard, and when Lu Huaishen thought she would wake up, he patted the back of her hand, or stroked her forehead and face, and she could fall asleep again.

After two o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Huaishen had to wake her up.

She needs to eat, prepare, and get to the airport.

When Lu Huai wanted to wake her up, he remembered her reaction to waking up in the middle of the night, as well as the doctor's words, and used the fingertips gently pressed against her cheek when he was soothing her sleep just now, and after rubbing it a few times, Jiang Ruo's eyes moved, and there were signs of waking up.

Lu Huaishen let her hear his voice, and called in a low voice: "Jiang Ruo, get up." ”

Jiang Ruo slowly opened her eyes, but before she could completely open her eyes, when a face appeared in her sight, she still reflexively closed her eyes.

Knowing that Lu Huaishen called her name again, she was stunned and took a few deep breaths before opening her eyes.

The curtains were drawn in the ward, and the light was a little dim, but she let in the light from under the curtains and found that it was already dawn.

She asked Lu Huaishen, "What time is it?"

Lu Huaishen helped her up from the bed and raised the pillow behind her back, "It's past two o'clock in the afternoon, you get up and eat something now, and we'll leave for the airport." ”

Jiang Ruo nodded and said okay, Lu Huaishen stretched out his hand to help her, Jiang Ruo's hand trembled subconsciously, wanting to dodge, Lu Huaishen had already held her hand.

Jiang Ruo also noticed her reaction just now, and this sudden, uncontrollable behavior made her feel sad.

Lu Huaishen didn't seem to have happened, took her into the bathroom, squeezed her toothpaste, put mouthwash, and went out to wait for her.

Jiang Ruo stood in the empty bathroom and looked at herself in her glasses, the uneasiness and slight heartbeat that she didn't know where it came from.

She immediately turned around and opened the bathroom door, Lu Huaishen just sat down on the sofa, she picked up the door frame and called him: "Lu Huaishen." ”

Lu Huaishen asked her, "What's wrong?" ”

Jiang Ruo wanted to speak and stopped, Lu Huaishen got up and came over, and his hand naturally touched her face, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Ruo asked in a low voice, "Can you just stand here?"

Lu Huaishen didn't ask the reason, said okay, and then really leaned against the door frame, stood at the door, and asked Pei Shao to go out and wait first.

Jiang Ruo brushed his teeth in the mirror, raised his eyes from time to time, looked behind him from the mirror, and made sure that he was still there, before lowering his head and continuing.

Every time she looked, Lu Huaishen looked at her intently, as if he wanted to reassure her, and after repeating it a few times, Jiang Ruo's movements slowed down, staring at Lu Huaishen's eyes motionlessly, and a thick sadness swelled up in his heart.

Then, she spat out her mouthwash and held on to the sink, staring at the sewer outlet in the middle, her vision blurred by the water.

Soon, she was wrapped in a warm embrace.

Jiang Ruo sobbed silently, Lu Huaishen patted her on the back to calm her down, and pressed her face to her chest, "It's all over, it will get better." ”

After Jiang Ruo calmed down, Lu Huaishen wiped the water stains on her mouth with a paper towel, and wiped her face with a face towel.

Jiang Ruo said that he wanted to go to the toilet, and Lu Huaishen asked, "Do you want me to be here or go out?"

Jiang Ruo is also very entangled, how can she get on in front of him?

Although this has not happened before, when the other party washes and wants to go to the bathroom, he will not deliberately avoid it, but there is a frosted glass partition between the toilet and the washstand in the bathroom at home.

There is no time for the other party to solve the problem, just stand by and stare at it.

She was entangled and entangled, looking at Lu Huaishen's serious eyes, she was even more embarrassed, and said, "You go and stand outside, the door is open, and let me see your shadow." ”

Lu Huaishen leaned in and teased: "You really don't need me to look at it?"

Jiang Ruo was turned around in shame: "Get out!"

……

After washing, when Jiang Ruo was eating, Pei Shao pushed a wheelchair in.

Jiang Ruo looked at the object in his hand with puzzled eyes.

Pei Shao stared at the pressure in Lu Huaishen's eyes, and said, "The doctor said that you need to recuperate, and you have to go through security in the airport, and the distance to the boarding gate is not close, this will make you more comfortable." ”

Jiang Ruo thought of the injury on Lu Huaishen's hand, and she was grateful to Pei Shao for being thoughtful.

As Jiang Ruo thought, Pei Shao was afraid that Jiang Ruo would be uncomfortable at that time, and he needed Lu Huai to hug him and a wheelchair to solve all the problems.

At 5:40, the plane took off from Sansha City.

When the plane entered the cruising phase, Lu Huaishen closed the window for her, lowered the seat for her, and asked her if she wanted to sleep for a while.

Jiang Ruo shook his head, "Stretch out that hand of yours to show me." ”

From the moment she got on the plane, she held his right hand, even if she didn't get it, she had to be next to him, or hold his sleeve. At this moment, she looked at Lu Huaishen, her thumb and index finger pinching his sleeves and rubbing them for a while.

Lu Huaishen was worried that she would react again when she saw it, and said, "Don't look at it, I just got a little flesh wound a few days ago, and I went to bandage it, and there is no problem." ”

She asked again, "How?"

"The window glass was shattered. Lu Huaishen said a word.

Jiang Ruo imagined a lot of pictures in her mind, I don't know if it was water and fire or Jiang Ji, but just thinking about it, she felt very uncomfortable, thinking of these people and things, her mind was very chaotic, and then she would be swollen and painful, and her breathing would not be smooth.

She simply stopped thinking and didn't ask, and rested with her eyes closed.

Lu Huai was afraid that she would get off the plane and it would be cold, the outdoor temperature in Donglin City was only two degrees now, so he bought her a scarf and a coat at the airport, there was air conditioning on the plane, and the temperature was suitable.

After a while, Jiang Ruo really fell asleep.

Lu Huaishen folded his palms, wrapping her loose and slightly curved palms. He turned to look at her, and her face was not very good, her chin was tucked into her scarf, and her eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyes.

Lu Huaishen looked at her sleeping face almost obsessively as if he was at the bedside of the hospital, not only Jiang Ruo, but even he had a sense of unreality as if he was in another world.

It's not that he hasn't dreamed of seeing her in his dreams, but when he opens his eyes, he becomes a bubble, and every new day is just for him to constantly accept the fact that she has no news, and when the thought of her never coming back appears in his mind, he will find that such a day without a head, it seems that the passage of time is just a proof of the consumption of life, and there is nothing else.

The fear of the rest of Jiang Ruo's life after the catastrophe has not passed, and he seems to be still lingering in the joy of being lost and regained.

When he got off the plane, it was already half past eight, and after leaving the airport, Lu Huaishen took Jiang Ruo directly to the hospital and went through the hospitalization procedures, and it was almost eleven o'clock.

Jiang Ruo saw Cheng Shu again.

Cheng Shu took a man and three women, who were on duty in shifts, and this time they also increased patrol tasks in order to eliminate danger.

When Cheng Shu saw Jiang Ruo, he looked at her with apologetic and guilty eyes.

It was all her and her colleagues who were negligent and took it lightly, but they didn't expect that the kidnappers had already been ambushed around.

No, Cheng Shu didn't dare to get close to Jiang Ruo anymore, and he was even more afraid that he would be negligent in his duties, so he only said hello to her and stayed outside.

A nurse came to remind Jiang Ruo not to eat tomorrow morning and to have a check-up tomorrow.

After she settled down, Lu Huaishen asked her: "Do you want to meet your aunt?" She is very worried about you, after knowing that we are going to look for you yesterday, she was so worried that she couldn't sleep, and asked Pei Shao about the situation in the middle of the night. ”

Jiang Ruo looked at the time, it was not early, and she was indeed in a lot of state, much worse than before leaving, for fear of scaring Qiao Hui.

"It's too late, let's see you first, I'll call her to report her safety. "I'll see her tomorrow after another night's rest.

Jiang Ruo's mobile phone and bag left in the car at the time, after the police took it to investigate the call records, they returned it to Lu Huaishen, but he put it at home, so he asked her to use her mobile phone to call first.

When Jiang Ruo called over, Qiao Hui spoke eagerly: "How is Jiang Ruo? Is she okay? Lu Huaishen, you'd better not let her have anything to do, otherwise I won't be able to spare you!"

Qiao Hui had never been so unkind to Lu Huaishen, even when the relationship between Lu Huaishen and Jiang Ruo was very deadlocked at the beginning, his tone was even more anxious and angry than ever.

Jiang Ruo was silent for a moment and said, "Mom, I'm Jiang Ruo. ”

Since he was very young, Jiang Ruo shouted "Mom" and "Mom" to Qiao Hui, and he hadn't called "Mom" again for many years.

Jiang Ruo didn't want Qiao Hui to worry, so he controlled his tone and tried his best to speak to her in a calm voice, "I just came back not long ago, because my body is a little unstable, I have to do an examination, and I will be observed for a few days, so I will come to the hospital directly." ”

On the contrary, it was Qiao Hui, who finally let go of the heart that had been hanging for days, and sobbed low over there, unable to speak.

Jiang Ruo comforted her in turn and said, "It's really no big problem, don't worry." ”

Qiao Hui said she was going to come and see her tonight.

Jiang Ruo said: "It's too late, come back tomorrow, I'm all here, I can't go." ”

Cheng Xiao, who heard the movement, also took the mobile phone and asked her, "Sister, is it you?"

"It's me, how are you doing on the exam?"

Cheng Xiao listened to her voice quite normal, relieved, but was speechless: "You still care about my exam at this time?"

"Of course, didn't you say that it was a thorough test?

"I'll come to see you tomorrow too, and I'll tell you when the time comes. ”

Cheng Xiao was reluctant to hang up the phone, but he felt that Jiang Ruo should be frightened, and wanted her to rest first, so he pinched the line before Lu Huaishen couldn't help but want to remind him to hang up the phone.

Lu Huaishen put away his mobile phone and said, "I'll go to the apartment and help you pack some change of clothes and daily necessities." ”

"Don't go. Jiang Ruo leaned on the bed, unwilling to let go.

Lu Huaishen knew very well what she was worried about, she needed someone close to her side.

"Okay, I'll find another time. Lu Huaishen lay down beside her.

Jiang Ruo leaned sideways, curled up, and leaned into his arms with confidence. Lu Huaishen was lying outside the quilt, and Jiang Ruo asked him to come to the quilt.

Lu Huaishen said: "I didn't change my clothes. ”

Lu Huaishen and Jiang Ruo both have a bit of cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder, Lu Huaishen is even more serious, neither of them can accept special circumstances such as going to bed without taking a shower or changing into home clothes or pajamas, going out to get drunk, and even so, they will change their bedding when they wake up.

But now, Jiang Ruo has another emotion, temporarily overcoming cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

She lifted the quilt and invited him: "You have to be next to each other." ”

Lu Huaishen went in next to each other as she wished.

But the night when I slept next to each other was actually not so peaceful.

When Jiang Ruo was gone, Lu Huai couldn't sleep late at night, and now that he was found, he was by his side, but out of excitement, he still couldn't sleep.

After sleepy Ji fell asleep, he always woke up suddenly without interruption, and every time he woke up, he had to look into his arms to confirm whether she was there.

Jiang Ruo woke up no less than him, when the fatigue of the body itself was relieved, she could hardly sleep into a deep sleep, whenever she seemed to be asleep, her heartbeat would suddenly accelerate, and then the sleepiness dissipated, and she had to brew sleepiness again.

When it was dawning, Jiang Ruo was really sleepy, so he really fell asleep, but even so, it was a nightmare.

He didn't sleep well, which caused Jiang Ruo to not be in a better state the next day than the day before.

Lu Huaishen took advantage of the fact that she was still asleep, and went to Hualing's Mansion to clean up her things before dawn, took a shower by the way, and changed into refreshing clothes.

When he returned to the hospital and entered the ward, Jiang Ruo had already woken up, sitting on the bed, his face haggard, frowning at him, and not speaking.

Lu Huaishen put the cold-stained coat on the sofa and pushed in a 26-inch trolley suitcase, "I don't know what you want to use, so I brought everything from your washstand and dresser, a few sets of underwear, two sets of pajamas and jackets, and the others are some daily necessities, towels and slippers." ”

After he finished speaking, he saw that Jiang Ruo still looked at him without saying a word.

He realized something was wrong and walked over to her and sat down, "What's wrong?"

"After you," Jiang Ruo wiped his face and choked his throat before continuing, "You have to tell me first when you leave in the future." ”

Lu Huaishen didn't know what to say, as uncomfortable as a fish in his throat.

He hugged her: "Okay, I'll let you know where I'm going in the future." ”

He thought that when Jiang Ruo was asleep, he left, she didn't know, so she wouldn't be so insecure, and the main thing was that she slept late and didn't sleep well all night, thinking that she wouldn't get up so early.

He left early, the road was clear, and it was not yet eight o'clock.

When Jiang Ruo woke up, on a winter morning, the fog was foggy, the room was empty and dark, there was no one around her, and she shouted "Lu Huaishen", but there was no response.

She was silent for a few seconds, then jumped out of bed and ran out, as if someone was chasing her.

Out of the ward, Cheng Shu was startled by her, took her back to the ward, turned on the light, and stayed with her inside until Lu Huaishen came back.

This is all what Cheng Shu told Lu Huaishen later.

Lu Huaishen planned to accompany her to the chief physician and psychiatric doctor after the examination.

But Jiang Ruo couldn't leave anyone here, so he called Qiao Hui before Jiang Ruo did an examination, and later notified Wang Zhao.

After the examination, Lu Huaishen told her: "I asked your aunt and Wang Zhao to come over, and when they arrive, I will go to the doctor." ”

Jiang Ruo agreed.

Qiao Hui, Cheng Xiao and Wang Zhao arrived together.

Today, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Wang was still at her parents' house for the Spring Festival, and when she received a call in her sleep, she got up to wash, and rushed over with her clothes casually.

Lu Huai was afraid that it would be difficult to take a taxi during the Spring Festival holiday, so he sent someone to pick up Qiao Hui and Cheng Xiao.

Wang Zhao had a good attitude towards Lu Huaishen, because he knew that Lu Huaishen was not easy during this time, and He Zongming also told her about his injury, so she had some sympathy for Lu Huaishen.

Seeing the door he came to open, Wang Zhao first asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, don't tell her. ”

Wang Zhao nodded, "Understood." ”

And Qiao Hui and Cheng Xiao, who were walking behind, looked at Lu Huaishen as if they were looking at an enemy.

Lu Huaishen greeted them politely, Cheng Xiao didn't give him a look, Qiao Hui looked tired and didn't want to communicate with him, but when Lu Huaishen called her, she still responded lightly, purely meant.

But this is not to blame Qiao Hui, that morning, she was the first among all to learn that Jiang Ruo was missing, and her heart was almost frightened.

Day and night, she blamed herself, even if she was a bad guy who beat mandarin ducks, she had to oppose Jiang Ruo and Lu Huaishen being together.

In the past, she only said that she was afraid that Jiang Ruo would not be able to control Lu Huaishen, and the situation of this big family was complicated, how could she play with others as a little shrimp?

But who would have thought that even their lives would have to be put into it.

Tracing back to the source, she counted everything Jiang Ruo suffered on Lu Huaishen's head.
