Chapter 1038: Depression

Editor: Henyee Translations

“Gu Jin, you’re looking for him, right? He’s here. Aren’t you the Godly Doctor? Hurry up and save him!” Shen Qin, panic-stricken, grabbed Gu Jin’s hand.

Gu Jin was about to retrieve her supplies from the car, but she saw that Gu Yang had already returned with the first aid kit.

“Sister,” Gu Yang said urgently, handing the kit to Gu Jin.

Gu Jin quickly pulled out the acupuncture bag and instructed Cao Cuo and Feng Jue to lift Shen Ran from the bathtub and place him on the floor. She began performing acupuncture to stop the bleeding.

“Yangyang, pour a hemostatic medicine for him,” Gu Jin said, focusing on her work.

Gu Yang swiftly located the special hemostatic medicine in her kit and administered it to Shen Ran.

Shen Qin knelt beside her brother, clutching his right hand tightly. “Brother, hold on. Don’t die. I saw Yangyang today; she’s still alive. Don’t you want to see her again?”

As Gu Jin worked on bandaging Shen Ran’s left hand, she frowned at Shen Qin’s relentless pleas. “He’s not dead. You’re only making things worse.”

Shen Qin fell silent, reassured by Gu Jin’s words that Shen Ran’s life was no longer in immediate danger.

Shen Ran had slit his wrist, and although Gu Jin’s first-aid measures had managed to stop the bleeding in time, he still needed to be rushed to the hospital for a blood transfusion due to significant blood loss.

At the First Hospital in the capital, Shen Ran remained in a coma. After being admitted to the emergency department, he was quickly given a blood transfusion.

The doctor reassured them, “Fortunately, we discovered the issue early and the first-aid measures were excellent. The patient is now out of immediate danger.”

Shen Qin breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Gu Jin. “Thank you, Gu Jin.”

Gu Jin, her gaze still fixed away from the emergency room, replied coldly, “My saving him has nothing to do with you. You don’t need to thank me.” She then led Gu Yang to a chair in the corridor.

Shen Qin remained silent for a moment before turning her attention to Gu Yang. “Did you hypnotize me and follow me?”

She had just gone to check on Shen Ran when Gu Jin and the others arrived, indicating they had clearly followed her. Given that she had an unusual urge to visit Shen Ran today, she suspected hypnosis was involved.

Gu Yang acknowledged, “I did give you a psychological hint. When I asked you about Shen Ran, I subtly suggested you find him.”

Shen Qin, realizing she had been hypnotized, said, “You hypnotized me.”

Feng Jue was the one who had tracked Shen Qin.

Gu Yang asked, “Why did you lock him up? Why did he cut his wrist?”

Shen Qin sat in a daze, her face pale. She buried her head in her hands, overwhelmed with frustration. “I removed all the sharp objects. How did he manage to cut his wrist…”

To prevent Shen Ran from harming himself, she had confined him, installed anti-theft nets on the windows to prevent him from jumping, and avoided using glass or ceramic items that could be broken into sharp fragments.

Gu Yang observed the broken glass from the window. “It was the broken glass window,” she said.

She also noted that Shen Ran’s hands were covered in scars, likely from biting himself. It seemed he had resorted to self-harm in the absence of sharp objects.

“This form of self-harm is often seen in deeply depressed individuals,” Gu Yang commented. “Shen Qin, was Shen Ran already depressed and at risk of suicide before you locked him up, or did your confinement contribute to his depression and suicidal tendencies?”

Shen Ran’s condition was severe, far beyond the severity seen in cases like Ruan Chu’s in the past. His clear suicidal tendencies were alarming.
