Chapter 279: He Pushes Fu Zhi’s Hand Away – 2

The doors in the Lu Mansion were anti-theft, so the door did not even budge after Lu Jingqing rammed himself against it.

He turned his head to look at Fu Zhi. Just as he was about to ask her to take the key, Fu Zhi raised her arm and pushed him aside.

Then, she lifted her leg and kicked the door handle.

Creak!

The anti-theft door was kicked open by Fu Zhi.

“...”

Lu Jingqing was speechless, but he knew now was not the time to lament how much of a failure he was as a father.

Lu Yushen’s room was dark. The curtains were tightly drawn, preventing any moonlight from coming in.

The last time he’d had an emotional meltdown was a month before Fu Zhi had joined the Lu Family. At the time, he had still left a table lamp on.

Fu Zhi switched on the light in the room. Then, she saw the young man, who was sitting facing the corner, the skin on his neck looking pale.

Lu Jingqing took one step forward and said, “Yushen...”

However, before he could finish his sentence, he saw the few blood-caked scars on Lu Yushen’s neck and froze.

“Zhizhi.” He turned his body sideways. His voice was thick with anxiety as he said, “Quick, come over here and check if your brother’s condition is serious or not.”

Fu Zhi crouched beside Lu Yushen.

What Lu Yushen had was a kind of neurodevelopmental disorder. Fu Zhi had asked his doctor, and she had told her that he showed relatively mild symptoms of autism as well.

She did not dare talk to him, for she did not want to make him feel nervous. Slowly, ever so slowly, she approached him and put her fingers on his wrist.

After a few seconds, Fu Zhi felt something warm fall on the back of her palm. She raised her head and met Lu Yushen’s glance. His eyes were red, and he was crying. She opened her mouth and said, “Don’t worry.”

She gripped his hand tightly, comforting him. “Don’t be scared. Just act like this is the flu or a fever. In another month, I will...”

Before Fu Zhi could finish her sentence, the young man raised his hand and peeled her fingers off his wrist. Then, he pushed her away, increasing the distance between them.

This time, even Xu Wei, who had just come into the room, was stunned. It seemed as if Lu Yushen did not want Fu Zhi to touch him.

Xu Wei then asked, “Do you want me to bring Gu Yan over here?”

“What’s the point of looking for her? She can’t do sh*t.”

Perhaps he had a bad memory. He could not tell, but he had never seen Lu Yushen hurt himself before. His brows were locked tightly in the center of his forehead as he snapped, “How the hell is she taking care of her patient? Is she a professional or not? If she’s not cut out for this, then we should get another doctor!”

Lu Jingqing did not comment, but his trust in Gu Yan began to waver as well.

In any case, what they should do right now was take Lu Yushen to the hospital. He draped a coat over Lu Yushen and told Fu Zhi, “You guys go back to rest. I’ll take him to see the doctor now.”

Fu Zhi nodded in assent. As she followed them for a few meters, her phone rang.

Shen Cizhou was calling.
