629 The Secret About the Past 247 (2/2)

He recalled what she said to him after the meal they had together with their son previously.

Jin Qingyan began to wonder if he had really wrongly accused her.

After much thought, he sat up and called for Fan Shixin to come upstairs again.

As his closest confidante, Fan Shixin knew that Jin Qingyan would usually call him to go upstairs at night for personal matters.

As expected, the first thing Jin Qingyan said when he saw him was, ”Help me arrange an appointment with a psychological specialist.”

”Young Sir, you…” Fan Shixin asked with a look of bewilderment and shock.

”I just want to ask a few questions. There's nothing wrong with my mental health.”

”What questions?”

”Just help me arrange an appointment first,” said Jin Qingyan, clearly not wanting to divulge.

”Yes.”

”Bring my easel here.”

Fan Shixin had no idea what Jin Qingyan was thinking of getting up to in the middle of the night, but he immediately did as instructed, nonetheless.

After Fan Shixin left the room, Jin Qingyan sat by the bed and, using a pencil, quickly began sketching a scene on a piece of paper attached to the easel.

In the drawing, a woman was leaning against the basin while a man was standing beside her.

It was the exact scene that had taken place in the bathroom of the restaurant tonight.

Jin Qingyan had a flair for drawing and broke into smiles as he admired his masterpiece.

That night, he managed to sleep extremely well without having to take any sleeping pills.

Feeling refreshed and energized the next morning, he headed to a hospital in the city together with Fan Shixin.

Fan Shixin had already arranged an appointment with the expert psychiatrist the night before.

Thus, they could consult the doctor immediately upon arriving.

”Nice to meet you, Mr. Jin,” the psychiatrist greeted, reaching out for a handshake.

”Nice to meet you. I'd like to ask a few questions, Doctor,” said Jin Qingyan as he took a seat.

”What questions do you have?”

After a moment of silence, Jin Qingyan asked, ”You won't disclose the details of our conversation, right?”

”That goes without saying. Please rest assured, Mr. Jin.”

”Will a man begin to hallucinate if he's drugged with aphrodisiacs?” Noticing the look of puzzlement on the psychiatrist's face, Jin Qingyan rephrased his question, ”For example, if a man ingested aphrodisiacs, will he begin to hallucinate about getting intimate with a woman even though it did not actually happen in real life? Is there such a possibility?”

After having understood what he meant, the psychiatrist answered, ”That's indeed a type of hallucination. Aphrodisiacs, if taken in large amounts, can lead to hallucinations and temporary reckless behavior. However, hallucinations under the influence of drugs are not considered to be a mental disorder.”

Jin Qingyan got a great shock upon hearing the psychiatrist's words. He then looked up at Fan Shixin before continuing to ask, ”Can such hallucinations be triggered through hypnosis?”

Shaking his head, the psychiatrist answered, ”Hypnosis will only trigger memories of events that have actually already taken place. If it's merely a fantastical imagination, it can't be triggered again.”

”Thank you, Doctor.”

Fan Shixin followed Jin Qingyan out of the hospital, not uttering a single word throughout.

Once they got inside the car, Fan Shixin asked, ”Young Sir, what do you think now?”

”Why haven't I thought of this before? I was too thick in the head and stubborn before,” said Jin Qingyan, sounding regretful and forlorn.

”Young Sir, there's no way to investigate this matter. It all depends on what you think. You have to decide whether to trust her or not.”

”Yes… but it's all too late now, isn't it?” said Jin Qingyan.

Fan Shixin answered, ”No, Young Sir, it's not too late yet. Young Sir, even if you refuse to admit it, I know you've been missing Ms. An dearly ever since you divorced her. I think you acted on impulse, precisely because you love her too much. Ms. An is not an unreasonable person either. If you talk things over calmly with her and show her that you've changed your attitude, perhaps…”

”You haven't understood how stubborn she really is.”
