Chapter 132 Lying, Su Qiao'er: Mom and Dad, it's just an allergy.
“Mom, Dad, it's nothing major, so you don't need to worry about me. The doctor said it's just a pollen allergy. I just need to take some medicine when we get back to boost my immunity, and I'll be fine.”
This was also what they had agreed to tell her parents while in the consultation room—that it was just a common pollen allergy. Hearing this, the Su Parents nodded.
“I told you so, it's nothing major. Look how scared you were in the consultation room earlier. If you ask me, private Hospitals are just like that. They make things look terrifying just to make you feel like your money was well spent.”
“In any case, as long as there's no major issue, it's fine. Our Su Family can't afford any more trouble right now. If one more thing happens, our family will be completely finished.”
The Su Family's current situation was indeed far from good. They had already lost the Su Group. If anything else happened, it would undoubtedly deal a devastating blow to their family.
“I was just a bit worried, that's all. Alright, now that we've confirmed everything is fine, there's no need for us to stay here. Let's head back quickly. After all, there are so many sick people in the Hospital; it wouldn't be good if we caught something.”
“Right, right, right.”
After confirming nothing was wrong, the family headed back. On the way home, Su Qiaoer stared out the car window at the passing world, her mind in complete disarray. Her mood at this moment could hardly be described as good. The main issue was that she really didn't know how to tell her parents about this kind of illness. Moreover, she didn't know how people would gossip about her if this matter spread within her social circle. After all, someone like her cared about her reputation more than anything.
Meanwhile, in another Hospital, Zheng Tian was lying in a Hospital bed. He had already been there for nearly a month, but his discharge date remained indefinite because his gastrointestinal disease didn't seem to be successfully cured.
“Then when on earth can I get out? I've been here for almost a month. You can't expect me to stay here for the rest of my life, can you? If all else fails, we can just hire a family doctor. Besides, a gastrointestinal illness isn't some major issue; it just needs some proper rest and care to recover.”
Zheng Tian spoke with irritation in his voice. After all, staying in such a place for so long was bound to make anyone somewhat irritable. In reality, no matter how good a Hospital's living conditions were, it was still a Hospital. As long as it was a Hospital, it would always carry a gloomy atmosphere.
Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng felt a bit awkward. Currently, according to the doctor, his bipolar disorder showed no signs of improvement. Although they had intervened with medication, the most they could do was maintain his current state without any actual progress.
If he left the Hospital and lost the control provided by the medication, no one could predict what he might do.
Now, with her son so resolutely demanding to leave the Hospital, Mrs. Zheng was quite conflicted. Left with no other choice, she could only go and consult with the doctor.
“During his hospitalization, his condition hasn't improved at all. So, if you can guarantee that he will take his medication on time after returning home, there isn't actually a major issue with him leaving. However, you must be absolutely careful that he does not receive any form of provocation. If he is triggered, it could very likely cause an episode.”
The doctor said this while looking at her. In truth, whether he stayed in the Hospital or not didn't make much of a difference. After all, his condition was already as it was, and the most important thing he needed to do every day was take his medication. He could take his medicine in the Hospital, and he could do the same at home. So what was the difference between being in the Hospital and being at home?
“So you mean he can be discharged?”
“Yes, looking at it currently, he can indeed be discharged. However, since your son doesn't know about his mental illness yet, we have replaced the medication bottles with anti-inflammatory drug bottles. Once you leave, you must make sure he takes these medications on time every day, and you must watch him swallow them with your own eyes.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng nodded. Since the doctor had said so, they could only proceed with the discharge first. Otherwise, her son would definitely become even angrier and more disruptive, making his emotions even harder to control. Perhaps returning home to a slightly more relaxed environment, combined with those medications, might even lead to a greater improvement for her son.
“Since you don't see any issue with it, we'll arrange for his discharge right away. If anything happens, you can call us immediately. Our phones are on twenty-four hours a day.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng nodded and didn't say anything more.
After leaving the doctor's office, Mrs. Zheng returned to the ward.
“Son, we can go now. But the doctor said you must take your medication on time every day.”
Hearing this, Zheng Tian nodded. As long as he could leave, he was willing to do whatever was asked of him.
