Pay Attention To Me

Chapter 71.1

Doctor Feng tried his best to clarify all the misunderstandings, clearly explaining all the details of the sequence of events. Then, he lifted his hand and checked his watch. It was almost ten o'clock.

"I have appointments with other patients. I can't just stay here with you, but don't worry, I already notified your parents. They're on their way and should arrive soon. If you need anything, please call for me at any time. For the next few days, I'll stay here at the hospital to treat you."

Yin Che stared at the white sheet  in a daze for a long time. His eyes felt sore and swollen, so he rubbed them. "Alright."

Doctor Feng walked out of the room and closed the door, leaving the single person hospital room quiet and calm yet again.

Outside the window, the sun was shining down on the shade-giving trees. The fallen flowers, branches, and leaves had been swept away already, leaving absolutely no trace of the heavy rain from the night before.

Yin Che raised his hand and gently stroked the scar on his neck.

The wound from last night where he'd been bitten had closed. Right now, his body had to be filled with Jiang Yao's residual pheromones, which was why he had a faint fever.

It was those exact alpha pheromones that had given him new life.

"I told your boyfriend that my previous treatment direction was wrong." Doctor Feng's words from just now echoed in his ears, "Although it really was necessary to reproduce the situation from that time to stimulate your pheromones, but the circumstances of your case and that cured case were different. What had to be reproduced......wasn't the desire to survive.

"According to your psychological examination back then, at that time, the root cause that stimulated your pheromone channels into closing was......the desire to die."

When he'd heard that conclusion, Yin Che hadn't been surprised at all, he'd actually experienced a moment of epiphany.

Doctor Feng's line of thought had been the same. "I should've thought of it a long time ago. You experienced so much pain and suffering and, previously, you also resisted the treatment, so how could you come to desire to survive......

"But if that was the case, it was even more tricky, because when you started to want to be treated, that meant that you had the desire to survive. But the cure for you was your desire to die. Those......are two conflicting views.

"Just when I was running out of ideas, Jiang Yao came looking for me and he mentioned that you started the treatment for his sake, in other words, he inspired your desire to survive.

"Although the desire to survive and the desire to die are two opposing states of mind, if a person with a strong desire to live suddenly loses their emotional support, loses that desire to survive, and suffers a severe blow, it's very likely that they will switch to desiring death.

"In order to seize that thread of hope of curing you, I had no other option but to tell him everything about your situation."

When Yin Che had heard this, it had all been more or less clear to him. "So......he was treating my illness."

"Mhm, although that method was incredibly cruel, after seeing the results, it was very effective."

It really was very effective, but now, even though his illness was cured, he still hadn't recovered.

Everything had happened too fast, too dramatically, so he couldn't break out of that state of mind.

When he thought of Jiang Yao, he just felt completely disheartened.
