"Okay, I understand. I'll persuade her to go to the hospital tomorrow."
Qin Tianyi held her and said, "I've spoken to Chang Qingchuan about Mishang, and we've arranged for her to take a few days of sick leave."
Susu closed her eyes and leaned against him, murmuring, "I'm so tired tonight. Let's sleep. I'll change your dressing for you in the morning."
"Sophie's sudden episode today was very dangerous for herself and others. Fortunately, she didn't hurt anyone else, otherwise your opening ceremony would be on the headlines tomorrow..." Qin Tianyi trailed off, realizing she had fallen asleep. He smiled wryly.
He gently pinched her cheek and complained, "Are you a pig? Falling asleep just like that. This is the living room. You'll have to sleep in the living room tonight, or Chen Ma will think I bullied you again in the morning."
Susu only hummed in his arms, completely asleep and unrousable.
Qin Tianyi, unable to do anything about her, endured the pain in his shoulder and carried her back to the bedroom.
He placed her on the bed in the master bedroom, lay down beside her, kissed her forehead, and said, "You really are a big baby. You're much heavier than Little Star."
Susu turned over in her sleep, facing away from him, and murmured in her dream, "You're so annoying, stop bothering me, let me sleep."
Qin Tianyi wrapped his arms around her from behind and said with amusement, "Sleep, sleep, sleep. All you do is sleep. I wonder who was the one who started undressing me first." As he spoke, he nestled against her and closed his eyes, drifting off to sleep.
...
Two days later, Qin Tianyi and Susu took Sophie to the best psychiatric hospital in Lancheng. Sophie appeared to have recovered.
The psychiatrist here examined her and conducted several psychological tests, all of which showed no problems.
It seemed the conclusion of the local psychiatrist was the same as that of the French doctor: she was fine.
Qin Tianyi was still uneasy. He asked Susu to wait outside with Sophie while he explained the details of Sophie's episode to the doctor.
The doctor looked at Sophie's test results and pondered, "The patient might be experiencing a subconscious stress response. Due to her previous experiences, any physical contact with a stranger could easily cause her to lose control. This reaction isn't entirely a mental issue; it could also be called post-traumatic stress disorder with reactive symptoms."
"What if this loss of emotional control, like going mad, harms herself or others? Will this happen again suddenly? I'm worried about her, and also about her hurting someone," Qin Tianyi asked.
The doctor couldn't give a definitive answer. "Based on her current condition, it's not that severe. You shouldn't worry too much. It's important to avoid further stimulation for the patient. I'll prescribe some medication for her to take regularly, and she should also see a psychologist regularly. She shouldn't stay cooped up at home alone; going out more and making new friends will be beneficial for her current situation."
"Thank you, Doctor."
After leaving the doctor's office, Qin Tianyi smiled at a nervous Susu and said, "Sophie's test results are all normal. She's fine."
Susu immediately said happily to Sophie, "You're normal, it's nothing."
"Susu, let's go. I don't want to stay in the hospital." Sophie disliked hospitals and was eager to leave.
Qin Tianyi quickly said, "Wait, the doctor prescribed medication for you, a neurotrophic drug. She also recommended that you see a psychologist regularly, which will help clear the shadows in your heart."
Sophie lowered her head, not daring to look at Qin Tianyi, and mumbled an "oh."
Susu linked her arm through Sophie's and suddenly thought of something. "Kang Xi introduced me to a psychologist last time. She said she specializes in serving police officers and is excellent. How about we go see this psychologist together one day?"
Sophie asked, "Will you go with me?"
"Yes, of course. Even perfectly normal people can have psychological issues. It's nothing to see a psychologist, even if there's nothing wrong." Susu comforted her.
Sophie smiled and said, "Okay, if you go with me, then I'll go."
"Then it's settled," Susu winked at Qin Tianyi, feeling pleased with herself for convincing Sophie so easily.
Qin Tianyi, however, remained expressionless. He felt that Sophie was becoming too dependent on Susu, but then he thought it was understandable.
"Let's go, I'll take Sophie back first," he said, turning and walking ahead.
Sophie pulled Susu along and said, "I'll be bored alone when I get back. I want to go to the company."
"But Chang Qingchuan has already requested leave for you at Mishang. How about I accompany you shopping instead, so you don't stay at your place and overthink things?"
Sophie happily agreed immediately, saying, "Okay, I want to go shopping too."
Susu immediately called out to Qin Tianyi, "Tianyi, you don't need to take Sophie back. You go take care of your business. I'll accompany her shopping to relax today. You don't need to worry about us."
Qin Tianyi took her hand and pulled her closer, saying, "I'll still go with you. I'm not at ease with just the two of you."
Susu pouted playfully, "Go take care of your business. I'll take good care of Sophie and myself. If you follow us, Sophie will feel uncomfortable. I need her to relax her mind so she can forget about the past quickly."
"But..."
"Please?" Susu stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek. "Stop following us around all the time. We'll talk about anything that comes up when we get home tonight."
Qin Tianyi reluctantly agreed and whispered, "Alright, be very careful when you're shopping. Don't let any strange men bump into Sophie again."
"Understood," Susu smiled and nudged him a couple of times before he finally left the hospital on his own.
Susu returned to Sophie's side and said, "Tianyi had some urgent matters at the group and left. Let's take a taxi."
"Susu, is President Qin unwilling to have me with you, or is he afraid I'll hurt you?" Sophie asked sensitively.
"How could he be? He's always supported me being good friends with you." Susu led her to the roadside, saying, "He's just a jealous person. He gets jealous whenever I'm too close to someone. He even gets jealous of our children at home. I can't stand him sometimes."
Sophie said with envy, "President Qin is a good man. He loves you very much. You're so lucky."
"If you forget the past, you'll also meet your destined one, and you'll be even happier than me." Susu held her hand, truly hoping she could completely forget that terrible experience.
Sometimes, when Susu thought of Yang Sijie, her heart would tremble. But fortunately, with Tianyi and Little Star by her side, bringing her endless joy, she no longer dwelled on the past and could live well in the present.
Therefore, she wanted to surround Sophie with love and warmth, believing that Sophie would surely get better.
...
In the evening, Qin Tianyi returned from the group, but Susu had not yet come home.
He had dinner with Little Star alone and sent Susu a message.
Susu replied that she was still with Sophie and told them not to wait for her, instructing him to be a responsible dad to Little Star for the night.
