My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 125

Chapter 125 Heartache
Brother Yihan? She thinks I am Xin Yihan?

She still hasn’t let go of him?

Qin Jinhuan who was taking Mu Yu’s temperature frowned.

When he knew that she fell sick, he ditched his client and rushed home to take care of her. However, she actually mistook him as Xin Yihan and even cried while leaping into her imaginary Xin Yihan’s arms.

“Brother Yihan?” Qin Xiaozhi frowned.

The atmosphere in the room became rather awkward.

Qi Hao and his brother as well as Lei Zhi quickly pretended to look down at their phones. They acted like they did not hear anything nor did they see anything.

However, that did not mean that nothing actually happened. That also did not mean that Qin Jinhuan was not mad. With a solemn look on his face, he passed the thermometer over to Lei Zhi and he said, “Thirty eight point eight.” Then, she pushed Mu Yu aside.

“Don’t leave!” Mu Yu grabbed onto his sleeve and cried. “Brother Yihan, accompany me please. I am scared.”

“Yu is down with fever now. She may not be in the right mind so try and give in to her. Pamper her and feed her some medicine first,” Qin Xiaozhi softly whispered as a reminder. He was afraid Qin Jinhuan would push her away again.

Qin Jinhuan’s lips twitched but ultimately he did not push her away. However, he also did not hug her and just let her bury her head into his arms.

Upon seeing that, Qin Xiaozhi was at ease. Then, he turned his head around and said to Lei Zhi, “Diagnose and treat young mistress seriously. I am a little dizzy so I will head back to my room first.”

Lei Zhi who was just about to prescribe some medicine nervously looked at him and said, “Old Master, are you okay?”

“Once you are done treating Yu, come over to my room and check on my blood pressure.” Qin Xiaozhi waved his arm and glanced at Mu Yu who was still sobbing. Then, he turned around and left.

Qi Hao and his brother immediately followed suit.

“Alright, I will head over as soon as I am done.” Lei Zhi understood what Old Master meant. Thus, he quickly prescribed the medicine and passed it over to Qin Jinhuan. He provided him with the dosage instructions and said, “If her fever hasn’t gone down at night, I will come over and give her a jab.” Then, he picked up his medicine kit and rushed out of Qin Jinhuan’s room.

With the sound of the door closing behind Qin Jinhuan, he frowned and looked at the medicine in his hand. Then, he looked at Mu Yu whose head was still deeply buried in his chest and she was still sobbing. Eventually, he pushed her aside in a gentle manner.

“Brother Yihan, don’t…”

“I won’t leave.” He caressed her face and patiently consoled her. “You are sick now so you have to take some medicine. Lie down and rest well. I will go get you some water.”

“Brother Yihan…”

“Listen to me.”

Perhaps it was due to his gentle voice that appeased to her liking, she stopped grabbing onto him. Instead, she obediently cooperated with his movements and slowly lay down.”

Soon, he brought her a cup of warm water and he placed it on the nightstand. Then, he sat down by her side and helped her up so he could feed her the medicine.

After Mu Yu ate the medicine, Qin Jinhuan was about to get up. Just then, a loud thunderous roar could be heard. Her face which was flushed because of the fever suddenly turned pale. She screamed and curled herself up into a ball towards the corner of the bed. She hugged onto her head and trembled.

Qin Jinhuan recalled that Jiang Wenwen had informed him that Mu Yu was afraid of thunder and rainy days. Thus, he quickly threw the cup aside and hugged her. He gently patted her back and consoled her.

She crossed her arms and her body was extremely tense. She stayed motionless in his arms and sobbed.

Qin Jinhuan stared at Mu Yu who was a completely different person and that was when he realized that her fear came from deep within her heart. At that moment, she was weak and fragile like a stray cat being left out in the storm. His heart ached and he could not be bothered to be jealous of Xin Yihan. He hugged her tight and repeatedly whispered, “Don’t worry, I am here for you.” At the same time, he cursed and swore at the untimely thunder.

Qin Jinhuan had no idea how long went by but eventually Mu Yu who was lying in his arms quieted down. As he was in the same posture for a long time, his arms and legs went numb. He carefully looked down and saw that she had already fallen asleep. Only then did he feel at ease and lay her down on the bed.

“Don’t! Don’t kill me!” Mu Yu who still had her eyes closed suddenly shuddered and started screaming as she flailed her arms.

Qin Jinhuan quickly grabbed onto her hand and said, “Don’t worry, I am here. Nobody would dare to kill you!”

“Don’t leave!”

“I won’t leave. I will stay here and accompany you.” Although he knew that she still mistook him as Xin Yihan, he was not angry or mad at all.

“Accompany me.” She hugged onto her arm like she was hugging onto a bolster.

Qin Jinhuan realized that position made her feel at ease. Despite feeling uncomfortable, he slowly lay down next to her without any hesitation.

Once he lay down, she no longer cried and sobbed. She quietened down and her breathing also slowly returned back to normal.

A portion of his body was feeling numb so he wanted to drag his arm back. However, as soon as he moved, she shuddered and subconsciously hugged his arm tightly. He was afraid she would get emotional again so he immediately stopped moving and let her do as she pleased.

Once again, she went back to sleep contentedly.

Qin Jinhuan looked at the tears around her eyes that had yet to dry up and his heart twitched. He carefully turned his body around and wiped the tears off her face with his other arm. Only then did he realize her place in his heart.

He knew that she was afraid of thunder and the storm. However, he had no idea she would be terrified to that extent. All of a sudden, he was extremely curious to find out about the reasoning behind it.

He thought about how she mistook him as Xin Yihan when she was down with fever. She also insisted and begged for him to accompany her. Thus, he immediately realized that Xin Yihan would definitely know the reason behind this. Of course, he had not planned on asking Xin Yihan as he did not want to meet up with Xin Yihan.

Perhaps I could ask her parents.

Just then, Mu Yu’s phone rang and Qin Jinhuan found her phone under her pillow. He was able to vaguely tell through her cracked screen that it was her mother that called. He hesitated for a while before picking up.

“Yu? Are you asleep?” Hu Meiling asked.

“Yu is asleep.” Qin Jinhuan felt that there was no need to inform them about Mu Yu’s sickness.

“Oh, Young Master Qin? That’s great. I feel at ease now that I know that Yu is asleep.” Hu Meiling heaved a sigh of relief.

Qin Jinhuan then quickly asked, “When did she start being afraid of thunder and the storm?”

“Ah? Well… Since a very young age. Since she is asleep, you should rest earlier as well. Alright then, I have to go.”

“What’s the reason… Hello?”

Qin Jinhuan did not expect Hu Meiling to hang up on the phone just like that. He was a little speechless. Just as he was about to place the phone back down, he accidentally clicked on her phonebook. ‘Brother Yihan’ were the first few words that appeared in his sight.

Xin Yihan called her three hours ago!

Lei Zhi said that she was sick because she walked in the rain. Was that because of Xin Yihan?

She hasn’t gotten over him?”

No. No, that can’t be!

The person she loves is me!

Qin Jinhuan snorted and pouted his lips. He then turned his head and looked at Mu Yu. Only then did he realize that she had loosened her grip on his arm and had already turned her back towards him. She was already sound asleep. He stretched his neck out and saw that she was indeed sound asleep. Thus, he stretched his arm out and gently patted her on the head. He could tell that her forehead was not as hot as before so he heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he lay down next to her and stared at the ceiling while being deep in thought.

At the same time, Hu Meiling who was at home was perturbed. She warned Mu Ziyao and said, “You better not tell Young Master Qin that Yu suffered from claustrophobia in the past! He had never fancied her so if he knew that she was suffering from such a sickness, he would dislike her even more.

Mu Ziyao nonchalantly said, “Don’t worry, Young Master Qin is not someone like that. Furthermore, hasn’t Yu returned back to normal under Yihan’s guidance?”

Hu Meiling still looked extremely worried and concerned. “Do I look like I could be at ease? Whenever there was a storm, Yu would not be able to control herself and would lose control of her emotions. For people who understood her past, they would be able to sympathize with her. Those who had no idea about her past, would treat her like a lunatic. I could tell that Young Master Qin was not in a good mood today. Sigh, I have no idea how long it would take for Yu to really get over that psychological trauma?”

Mu Ziyao also sighed. “The main reason Yu is emotionally unstable whenever there’s a storm was because she could not forget about that matter. However, she could not bring herself to confront the issue. At the end of the day, she’s still not strong enough.”

“That situation really traumatized Yu…. Not to mention that she was only a kid back then. Even as adults, if we were put in the same spot, we would be dumbstruck as well. Sigh, our poor daughter.”

The tears of his wife triggered his emotions and he hugged his wife tight into his arms. He consoled her gently and along the way, he could not help but teared up as well.

After some time, he suggested, “Why don’t we give Yihan a call? Let’s ask him to find some time to visit Yu so that he could encourage her and provide her with some guidance with regards to this issue.”

Hu Meiling nodded her head and she immediately took out her phone. “I will give Yihan a call right away.”

Mu Yu who was still troubled by her nightmares had no idea the kind of effect she brought upon Qin Jinhuan as well as her parents. The next time that she woke up, she found out that she was lying in Qin Jinhuan’s arms. That was no different from another nightmare. She screamed and pushed him aside.

Qin Jinhuan who had fallen asleep was startled. He subconsciously stretched out his arms to hold onto her and comforted her. “Don’t be afraid! I am here… Hey! Yu!”

Mu Yu picked up her phone and like a frightened rabbit, she leaped out of bed and ran towards the couch that she had been sleeping in.

Qin Jinhuan could not be bothered to put on his shoes as he ran after her. He showed his concern towards Mu Yu who was wrapped up in her blanket. “Yu, you are sick! You had a fever!”

“Go away.”

“Yu…”

“Go away! Leave!”

Although the thunder had gone away, the horrific scene kept replaying in her mind. As such, she panicked and was not in the right mind to pay any attention to Qin Jinhuan, let alone somebody else. After he left, she tried to take a couple of deep breaths based on what Xin Yihan taught her to calm herself down.

Nowadays, she would still have nightmares and she would still be scared whenever it rained heavily. However in comparison to the past, her condition had clearly improved. Prior to this, she was confident that her condition would improve and completely disappear in the near future. However, the situation today demolished all of her confidence.

Why did my condition worsen all of a sudden?

Was it because I bumped into Wang Linhua, the guy who looked like the demon, twice in a single day?

The sudden incoming beeping tone from her phone startled her. She suddenly realized that she was edgy and that really caused her to be dejected. She sighed as she opened the message that came into her phone. She was surprised when she saw that the message was from Brother Yihan and she quickly clicked on the message.

“Since you are not able to avoid it, might as well confront it with bravery. Yu, you are able to do it! Brother Yihan believe in you!”

Her heart twitched after reading his message.

Can I do that?

She questioned her own capability.

“Yes! You can! Brother Yihan believes in you!” Xin Yihan’s usual words of encouragement kept running through her mind. With that, she slowly began to rebuild her shattered confidence.

Perhaps I can give it a shot! If I really can’t do it then only will I give up!

She made up her mind and nodded her head towards the air with determination. Then, she called her father and asked him about the vicious homicide that occurred ten years ago in their previous housing estate in Ping An City.

Mu Ziyao was shocked and surprised when he heard his daughter’s query. However, he was relieved upon hearing her explanation. Then, he immediately informed her about everything he knew about the situation.

Mu Yu jotted all the details down in her notebook. After hanging up on the call, she began to look into relevant information on the internet.

She began investigating the homicide because she wanted to get over her psychological trauma. She had no idea that her investigation would bring up another sad and tragic story.
