The Third Mental Illness Rehabilitation Center was built 23 years ago and is one of the earliest private mental illness treatment institutions in Jiujiang.

As you can already see from the name, they are not a regular psychiatric hospital, but a rehabilitation and recuperation center.

There are three wards in the rehabilitation center, and the first ward is much cheaper than a regular hospital, but the accommodation is extremely poor.

The second ward charges one-fifth more than a regular hospital, and is staffed with a dedicated nurse and a doctor on call.

Ward 3 is designed to serve a small number of patients, and the fees are extremely high, several times that of ordinary wards.

From the notes left by the dean, it can be seen that when the rehabilitation center was first established, it was completely different from later, at that time, the third ward was not only not a closed forbidden area, but also the place with the highest fee and the best environment in the entire rehabilitation center.

After about three months of operation, the rehabilitation center welcomed a special patient.

The dean recorded the scene in detail, and in his mind, that day should have been a turning point.

A car with a provincial license plate drove into the hospital, and two men dragged out a pregnant woman with a delicate appearance and no makeup from the back seat of the car.

The dean received them personally, and after questioning, it became clear that the woman was suffering from a serious mental illness.

Out of concern for the physical safety of the pregnant woman, the dean refused the other party.

The man was unimpressed, took out ten times the hospitalization fee of the senior ward, and told the dean that he would pay half a year's expenses in advance at one time.

Looking at the cash on the table, the dean and several doctors were a little moved, after the rehabilitation center opened for business, the general wards were overcrowded, but the rooms in the third ward were still mostly empty. After all, most patients who are not short of money will still choose regular hospitals for treatment.

Under the persuasion of the doctor, the director went through the procedures for the pregnant woman to be admitted to the hospital and arranged her in Room 3 of the third ward.

After making sure that the pregnant woman was safely admitted, the man left his phone number with the doctor, claiming that he was the husband of the pregnant woman, but when the dean wanted to see the marriage certificate of the two, the man could not get it.

After receiving the money, the matter is a foregone conclusion, and the dean can't regret it even if he wants to, all he can do is take care of the pregnant woman.

After the doctor's diagnosis, the pregnant woman does suffer from a mental illness, which is a typical symptom of bipolar disorder, never communicating with others, sometimes crying alone, sometimes angry, smashing everything she sees, and even hurting herself.

In order to protect her, the hospital specially wrapped the furniture in room No. 3 with a thick cotton cloth.

The woman's condition was very unstable, and because she was pregnant with a child, most of the medicines could not be used, and the doctors had to work shifts to provide psychological counseling to her.

In this way, more than three months passed, and as the due date approached, the director specially hired several nurses to guard the ward 24 hours a day.

I don't know if it's because the child is about to be born, which awakens the motherhood of the mad woman, or if the doctor's treatment has an effect.

The pregnant woman no longer goes crazy, and most of the time she doesn't let people get close, just touching her belly, sitting alone on a low hospital bed and talking to herself.

Four months later, the baby was born, and the pregnant woman's condition improved significantly.

The director and the doctor at the rehabilitation center were relieved and called the pregnant woman's husband on the same day, but no one answered.

They had a bad premonition in their hearts and went to check the man's ID card, and it turned out that all the documents were fake.

After consulting with the doctor, the director decided that when the advance money was spent, if the man had not come, they would call the police. Considering the woman's condition, they did not tell the woman about it.

The pregnant woman did not know the news, but after the birth of the child, she seemed to regain hope in life, began to actively cooperate with the treatment, and from time to time took the initiative to ask for information about her husband, who felt that when she was well, he would come to pick her up.

But after waiting for half a year, all the prepaid hospitalization fees were spent, and the man seemed to be missing and never appeared again.

Gradually there are different voices in the hospital, and some doctors and nurses have suggested that pregnant women should be sent away, and it is time-consuming and laborious to take care of one of the older and the other small.

The dean couldn't bear to say that he would have to wait any longer, but the nurse who took care of the woman's daily life inadvertently leaked his mouth.

The woman offered to speak to her husband on the phone, and there was a cold mechanical synthesized voice on the microphone, and the number had been suspended.

Before the woman was sent to the rehabilitation center for treatment, the woman seemed to have reached an agreement with the man, but now that the agreement has been torn up, the situation has become even worse for the woman who is already sick.

She became hostile to the people around her, as if she was lost in a dark labyrinth and couldn't get out.

To prevent the sick woman from harming the newborn, doctors separate her from the baby.

The woman was crazy and couldn't communicate, the baby was still young, and the hospital had no choice but to raise it on her behalf.

They are also actively treating women, hoping to get information about the man through the woman, so that he can make up for the follow-up treatment and hospitalization expenses.

No one could have imagined that this treatment would take three years, and the woman's child would grow up in a psychiatric hospital, where the madman would learn to speak and walk.

The age of 0 to 3 is called infancy, which is the most efficient learning period in a person's life, and it is also a critical period for forming a basic understanding of things.

It was in this twisted and sick environment that the woman's child went through the most important three years.

The money in advance has long been spent, and the doctors and nurses are now obligated to take care of them, and it is okay to say for a day or two, but after a long time, more and more people have begun to complain, and even the gaze of the child has become complicated.

The crazy mother lives in the ward, and the most thing the child has done in the past three years is to be picked up by the doctors and nurses, and look through the window on the door of the third ward to see the woman inside.

After a long time, after the child learned to walk, he would sometimes run to the outside of ward No. 3 by himself and look at the door of the ward, which was several times his height.

As the days go by, children of the same age have their families by their side, and the world is full of color.

The world in this child's eyes is a little distorted, the cold white tone occupies most of the memory, and gradually he has some behaviors that are different from ordinary children.

Chen Ge unconsciously flipped to the end, and the content on the white paper was like the dean's private diary: "This child is even more terrifying than what I experienced when I was a child. ”

He thought that it was enough for him to play with human head models and dismantle plastic bones when he was a child, but he didn't expect that there would be something more miserable than himself.

Putting down the blank paper, Chen Ge looked at the unsent letters.

The envelope was not stamped or signed, and it looked yellowed and worn, and it should have been written many years ago and never sent out.

In chronological order, Chen Ge opened several letters one by one.

The first letter was written twenty years ago, when the woman's child was only two years old.

"Dr. Chen, it's the first time I've seen such a smart kid, I can't imagine how quickly he learns everything."

"Born in a place neglected by the normal world, living in a sick environment, should I send him away?"

"This kid is definitely a genius when he grows up, but what he's doing now makes me feel very uneasy."

"Ever since he learned to speak, just like his mother, he always likes to talk to himself. No, it felt more like he was communicating with something we couldn't see. ”

"The doctor and the nurse on duty are very busy, and no one has taught him to speak except me, but I can always hear some unfamiliar words from his mouth."

"Did he learn it by eavesdropping on the conversation between the doctor and the patient? Or is there something teaching him? ”

"I'm a materialist, but what happened to this child shakes me a little, it is rumored that in infancy, children can see things that adults can't see, is it true?"
