As the phone was hung up, the room suddenly became quiet.
Xiong Chen and Liang Xiao looked at each other. Even without Zhao Dong speaking, they noticed something was wrong from Sophie's state.
It's just that no one dares to disturb Zhao Dong at this time, because everyone can feel that at this moment, Zhao Dong's emotions are on the verge of collapse!
The next moment, Zhao Dong picked up Sophie and said, "Big Bear, prepare the car!"
"Sister Liang Xiao, I'm not familiar with the provincial capital. Please follow me, please!"
"Xiaobo, I'll leave the other things to you. I don't want to be disturbed by anyone in the rest of the time!"
As Zhao Dong finished speaking, the situation in the provincial capital suddenly changed again!
Not long after, the motorcade left the community where Liang Xiao lived and went straight to the address sent by Aunt Mei on the phone, the mental illness rehabilitation center in the provincial capital!
Xiong Chen drove, maintaining a cruising speed of about forty miles, and was followed by several No. 8 Company vehicles.
Liang Xiao was sitting in the co-pilot, with unconcealed worry and anxiety on her face. Ever since she knew the destination of her trip, she had understood the seriousness of the matter. Mental illness can be big or small!
Along the way, Liang Xiao prayed in her heart, hoping that Sophie would be safe. On the one hand, it was out of sisterhood, and on the other hand, she was worried about Zhao Dong.
If Sophie really did something good during this trip to the provincial capital, if nothing else, Zhao Dong would probably live with guilt for the rest of his life!
It's just that Liang Xiao can't figure it out. Sophie was obviously fine on the way here, so why did something suddenly happen? Which link caused the problem?
On the other side, Zhao Dong was sitting in the back row, holding Sophie's hand the whole time, not daring to move his eyes or body at all!
Sophie was still in her sleep. Because of Aunt Mei's instructions, he did not dare to wake Sophie up rashly, especially at this moment, Sophie's brows were furrowed, except for the obvious situation!
Zhao Dong felt guilty and blamed himself all the way!
Despite this, Zhao Dong didn't show anything on his face, because he knew that Aunt Mei hadn't arrived yet, and he was now the backbone of everyone, and also Sophie's backbone!
Others can panic, but he cannot panic!
Others can mess up, but he can't!
Even though my heart is turbulent at this moment, my face is extremely calm!
Twenty minutes later, the group finally arrived at the address Aunt Mei sent on the phone, the Mental Illness Rehabilitation Center in the provincial capital.
It doesn't look like a hospital as you imagined, at least it looks more like a high-end nursing home from the outside.
Aunt Mei must have contacted her in advance, and a group of people were waiting at the door of the hospital.
When the car stopped, a nurse came forward and asked, "Is this Miss Su from Tianzhou?"
Liang Xiao immediately went down to connect, "Yes, it's us!"
The nurse led the way, "Please come with us, Professor Fan is already waiting."
After a while, the group of people arrived outside the clinic.
The nurse politely stopped everyone and said, "Sorry, I only need one accompanying family member to go in. There is a rest room outside. Others please wait inside."
The person who entered was naturally Zhao Dong. Under the guidance of the nurse, he slowly placed Sophie on the recliner in the room, which was a very comfortable package similar to a massage chair.
With the nurse's operation, the seat was adjusted to a very suitable angle.
Along with the footsteps, a man's voice came from behind, "Is the patient awake yet?"
Zhao Dong turned around immediately and saw a man wearing silver-rimmed glasses. He looked like a knowledgeable elite at first glance!
His gentle eyes, courteous actions, and standing politely on the spot. Although he only asked a question, it gave people the illusion of a spring breeze, as if it could make people put down all their defenses!
Seeing Zhao Dong looking at him, the man immediately handed over his business card, "Hello, Fan Ze!"
Zhao Dong took a quick glance and saw a long list of titles such as the chief physician of a rehabilitation center, a professor of psychology, a lecturer in the Department of Psychiatry of a certain university, a partner of a certain institute of mental illness, and so on.
To sum it up in one sentence, he is an extremely awesome person in related fields!
It was about Sophie, so Zhao Dong didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly explained, "Well, I slept all the way, and when I found out in the morning, she..."
Before Zhao Dong could finish speaking, the man added, "Found it in the closet?"
Zhao Dong was surprised, "How do you know?"
Fan Ze explained, "Before taking over, I had already seen Miss Su's related cases!"
Zhao Dong felt as if he was struck by lightning. In fact, he had roughly guessed what was going on on the way here. Judging from Sophie's current state, there must be something wrong with her heart.
He just couldn't figure out which link went wrong? And what happened to stimulate Sophie?
Zhao Dong even blamed himself for this, because no matter what, Sophie's current situation must be related to him!
But now that he heard the doctor's words, Zhao Dong clenched his fists and almost suspected that he had heard wrongly. Sophie actually had a case in this hospital. What did this mean?
This shows that Sophie's condition this time is not a sudden attack, but a sudden relapse under certain circumstances and under certain stimulation!
Zhao Dong managed to calm down, "Professor Fan, can you tell me what's going on?"
Seeing Professor Fan's confused expression, Zhao Dong explained, "My name is Zhao Dong, and I am Sophie's husband!"
Fan Ze then put down his guard and looked at Sophie's current state, "Have you heard of autism? It is also called autism or autistic disorder."
Zhao Dong spoke solemnly, "You mean, Sophie has this kind of mental illness?"
Fan Ze explained, "It's probably in this direction, but the subject of psychology is very complicated, and Miss Su's illness is different from other people's. She suffered some kind of stimulation in her childhood, which caused subsequent changes in her behavior."
Seeing the confusion on Zhao Dong's face, Fan Ze changed his theory to a theory that normal people could understand, "You can understand it as a loss of sense of security. Miss Su experienced something in her childhood that destroyed her sense of security!"
"But don't worry, this type of disease generally does not have the tendency to self-harm, nor does it affect social communication. If it does not occur, it will be no different from normal people."
"The manifestations of the disease are timidity, fear, not daring to communicate with strangers, or extremely insecure!"
Hearing what the doctor said, Zhao Dong's heart skipped a beat, "Then why doesn't she wake up now?"
Fan Ze glanced at Sophie, "To protect herself and lose her sense of security, she instinctively immersed herself in this emotion and was unwilling to face reality!"
"Hiding in the closet is a self-protection mechanism in an unconscious state. Being drowsy at this level is also a kind of self-protection!"
"Of course, she can be woken up through external stimulation, but this will cause great harm to Miss Su, so it is generally not recommended!"
Zhao Dong frowned, "Unconscious? You mean, Sophie doesn't know that she has this kind of mental illness?"
Fan Ze nodded, "Yes, due to the self-protection mechanism and the intervention of external therapy, this memory is closed to Miss Su, and she herself has no knowledge of it!"
Zhao Dong clenched his fists, his emotions at a critical point about to lose control, "You mean, the reason why she became ill was because this closed memory was reopened?"
