Chapter 221 - End you (1/2)

”The psycho... he's coming. He's going to find me.”

Yan Mei kept mumbling this statement until she fell asleep in Lei Zhao's arms when he carried her to the therapist's couch to let her rest.

Lei Zhao sighed as he felt relieved that Yan Mei drifted off to sleep, but the pained expression on her face was still present. Lei Zhao heaved another sigh as he stood up, pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration.

Because of that man sending them mysterious messages, it triggered something within Yan Mei. She was doing fine until now. However, those threats and those messages stirred everything up!

Lei Zhao clicked his tongue as he ran his hand through his hair. If he could only get a few clues about the whereabouts of that man, he is going to make him suffer!

Remembering the issue at hand, Lei Zhao faced Ms. Qing with worry in his eyes as he talked to her about Yan Mei's mental state.

”Ms. Qing... about my wife,” Lei Zhao trailed off, ”with the reaction that she showed, what can we infer from this and what should we do to make her feel better?”

”Mr. Lei,” Ms. Qing heaved a sigh as she also felt worried for her client's mental state. ”Without her saying much, I could deduce that Mrs. Lei's abused in the past. Have you known something about this, Mr. Lei?”

Lei Zhao furrowed his brows. He looked at Yan Mei, who was sleeping on the couch, then he returned his gaze on Ms. Qing to answer her question.

”I don't know the details, but I only know about her kidnap from her,” he mumbled, but it was enough for the therapist to hear.

”Then we could connect it from here. From that experience alone, we could say that the abuse happened during that time.”

Lei Zhao's lips turned into a tight line as his fists at the sides balled tighter. He could not speak as his worry about Yan Mei grew by the second, wondering if there was any way to make her feel better.

”If I may ask, Mr. Lei, what could have triggered this to make you two visit me?”

Hearing the therapist's question, Lei Zhao knew telling her was beneficial, so he told her what happened--to the text message, up until the video that he received. Knowing the following information, Ms. Qing took it down on her notes for further reference about her patient.

”Ms. Qing.” There were worry and anxiety evident in his voice. ”What can you suggest to help? I'm worried about my wife.”

Letting out a small sigh, Ms. Qing gave Lei Zhao a small smile as she proceeded to talk to her patient's husband.

”Mr. Lei, all you have to do is to be by your wife's side,” she said, Lei Zhao, still not convinced that that was all it took to make Yan Mei feel better.

”You see, I have asked her if she feels happy now, and all she talked about was you. If you keep continuing to be by her side, she will open up to you more and would depend on you to help her,” she added, Lei Zhao, slowly nodding as he felt assured of what the therapist was saying.

”Okay. I will have to make Yan Mei feel better until she feels comfortable enough to tell me anything, right?”

Ms. Qing nodded, ”Yes. Another thing. I would suggest for Mrs. Lei to take a few days off from work.”

Lei Zhao slowly nodded once more as he furrowed his brows, understanding why the therapist suggested taking a day off.

”Since the sender probably knew where the two of us worked, it would be best to keep a distance for a while, right?”

Ms. Qing nodded, ”Yes. Going back to work may stress Mrs. Lei more. If she came back, who knows if the sender of both the message and the parcel would do.”

Hearing this, Lei Zhao sighed. He looked at Yan Mei again as he got his phone from his pocket, calling his secretary to investigate this matter once more.
