412 Sleepwalking
The commotion on Mo Rao’s side quickly attracted Qu You and Old Madam Qu’s attention. When she saw Qu Ru sitting on the ground and the knife beside her, Old Madam Qu was also frightened.
“What’s going on?!” Qu You stared at Qu Ru and questioned, “Are you trying to kill Mo Rao?”
“I, I’m not… I was just sleepwalking.” Qu Ru covered her head and stammered.
Qu You didn’t believe Qu Ru’s words at all. She pulled her up from the ground and grabbed her collar as she questioned, “Sleepwalking? Why didn’t I know you sleepwalked?”
“Let’s go to the hospital now!” Qu You pulled Qu Ru out.
Qu Ru cried as she said, “I’ve been seeing a psychiatrist. Why don’t you believe me?!”
Hearing this, Qu You stopped in her tracks and looked at her in confusion. “You’re seeing a psychiatrist? Why? What mental illness can you possibly have?”
“Previously, I was placed under house arrest by Fu Ying and beaten up by him. These things left a huge psychological trauma on me…”
“You deserve it! If you hadn’t harmed Mo Rao and Fu Ying’s children, would he have treated you like that? Qu Ru, don’t defend yourself. People like you don’t have any mental illness at all, because you’re just thick-skinned.” Qu You sneered and scolded Qu Ru.
Mo Rao sat on the bed as she looked coldly at Qu Ru, who looked deranged.
She didn’t expect Qu Ru to become like this one day.
However, as Qu You had said, Qu Ru had asked for it.
“If that’s really the case, do you have a medical record?” Mo Rao walked in front of Qu Ru and looked down at her as she asked, “Did the doctor say that you have a sleepwalking disorder?”
“Well… he said that if I was stressed, I would have a risk of sleepwalking. When I saw you, I remembered what had happened before, and I…”
Qu Ru tried to explain, but she was interrupted by Qu You. “Cut the crap and quickly bring the medical record over.”
When Qu Ru heard this, she hurriedly left Mo Rao’s room and took the medical record from her room.
Old Madam Qu and Qu You looked at her medical record with a frown.
Mo Rao walked forward and looked at the piece of paper. The doctor’s diagnosis was written on it.
Because Qu Ru had suffered mental trauma, she had an anxiety disorder and was very paranoid. All of these were factors that caused her to sleepwalk.
Mo Rao couldn’t help but find it ridiculous. Qu Ru, who was so evil, actually developed psychological problems.
“You guys believe me now, right?” Qu Ru asked. Then, she looked at Mo Rao and begged, “Mo Rao, I really know my mistake now. All these years, I’ve often dreamed of the past and even your dead children…”
“I, I shouldn’t have done that to you. I’ve been repenting. Please forgive me.”
At the mention of the two children, Mo Rao’s heart felt like it was being pricked by needles. All those painful memories surged into her mind.
The culprit was right in front of her. Mo Rao remembered the cold operating table, the operating light that stung her eyes…
All of this made her feel suffocated, as if she had been pressed into water.
Mo Rao felt extremely tired, so she said expressionlessly, “I’m going to bed now.”
Old Madam Qu could sense Mo Rao’s gloomy mood, so she hurriedly said, “Everyone, go back to sleep. Mo Rao, lock the door.”
Old Madam Qu was skeptical of Qu Ru. Now, only by locking the door could she ensure Mo Rao’s safety.
Mo Rao nodded. After they left, she locked the door and returned to the bed to lie down.
This time, she couldn’t fall asleep.
With her past psychological intervention and her restraint on herself, she had long hidden her pain and only wanted to look forward.
But now, Qu Ru’s actions pulled her back to the past. At this moment, Mo Rao realized that she had never truly forgotten about the pain.
The feeling of losing her children and the pain at that time were so startling that they tortured Mo Rao once again.
Tears ran down her cheeks and wet the pillow.
Mo Rao’s silent cries finally turned into low sobs. In the end, she didn’t know when she fell asleep, but she remembered the heart-wrenching feeling.
