Falling For The Contract Bride Chapter 303

Chapter 303 The Remark Which Put Mu Zhi at a Loss

In the past, many had experienced behavioral disorders in a post-war setting. The doctor took on a unique approach to help cure many patients with the condition.

War leaves a destructive print on the nature of humans. Many veterans returned to the country with amnesia when wars had ended.

They appeared to have forgotten everything they saw during the war, including how their enemies looked and what tactics they deployed during the war.

They could still go on about lives like ordinary folks, only remembering the pleasant memories.

But these underlying conditions would eventually emerge to haunt the soldiers, hence bringing more attention to the topic.

Mu Zhi didn’t know what to do at first. But after reading many of the articles and reports from the doctors, she started applying his findings on her only to realize that it was shockingly fitting.

It dawned on her that she might be sick, so she started searching for ways to reach the doctor.

In the past, Mu Zhi would not hesitate before approaching Xie Xiu to handle the situation.

But it had changed since the strange woman showed up out of nowhere and told her that she did not know Xie Xiu at all. Mu Zhi felt the urge to get to the bottom of it herself.

Thus, she started searching relentlessly for more information on the web.

…

At the beach.

Lu Jinye met a woman in a white robe at a sea-view villa. When she met Lu Jinye, she reached out for a handshake and began explaining her theories before capping it off with a friendly note. “Mr. Liang Yunzhan is a close friend of mine. If you need any help, I will never slight your requests.”

The woman displayed much sincerity while Lu Jinye nodded contentedly, saying, “Thank you, Dr. Sophia.”

The doctor nodded back at him with a smile, “You’re welcome, Mr. Lu. Mr. Liang Yunzhan has told me everything about you and your wife. I’m touched to hear your love story, and I empathize with it, so I’ll give my best to help you.”

Lu Jinye lowered his head to check the time, then urged the doctor, “Please keep an eye on any information or similar cases recently.”

Lu Jinye went through sleepless nights to read everything he could get his hands on about Mu Zhi after receiving her information. Mu Zhi had gone through ups and downs.

Her joy was built upon all the beautiful things she could receive in the world while her pain stemmed from her amnesia and disorder.

Lu Jinye knew that Mu Zhi had been desperately trying to fulfill her wife duties, but to no avail.

The more he read about Mu Zhi, the more upset Lu Jinye became, and the stronger his hatred for Xie Xiu grew.

Xie Xiu had ruined Mu Zhi. He must have hidden plenty of information from her to prevent her from recovering from her amnesia and behavioral disorder.

At that thought, Lu Jinye suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Is Xie Xiu a devil? Why is he so desperate to manipulate her?!

It was Mu Zhi who Xie Xiu was manipulating – Lu Jinye’s beloved!

At the same time, Xie Xiu had consistently kept alert. If Lu Jinye had approached Mu Zhi by forcing himself upon her, it would easily trigger her disorder and backfire at him.

Therefore, Lu Jinye asked for Liang Yunzhan’s recommendation for the top-ranked doctor specialized in amnesia treatment and patiently penetrated Mu Zhi’s subconscious mind.

Lu Jinye didn’t do much. All he did was decrypted Mu Zhi’s device and started introducing information about Dr. Sophia to her through the algorithm, hoping to gain her attention from the doctor’s portfolio.

Dr. Sophia’s thesis was sensational. She published several succinct articles on the net and Lu Jinye had someone customized them specifically to fit Mu Zhi’s background.

Following that, they had to wait for Mu Zhi to actively step out of her comfort zone to reach out to Sophia, who would then help Mu Zhi methodically.

It was a long and dreadful journey.

But Lu Jinye was not intimidated.

He had waited for Mu Zhi for five years… Nothing else was worth being afraid of.

…

For seven days in a row, Mu Zhi researched Dr. Sophia and finally decided to secretly visit Sophia’s clinic following the web page’s address.

Mu Zhi came to the beach and found a tiny wooden lodge by the beach. It looked just like what the users of the internet had described. Mu Zhi figured that it might be Sophia’s clinic.

She hesitated briefly before pushing the door open.

The lodge was filled with a soft and tantalizing aroma that would soothe one’s nerves. A middle-aged woman in a white robe then walked up to Mu Zhi elegantly.

“May I know how I can help you?”

Mu Zhi could instantly recognize the female doctor’s face – she was the founder of the clinic, Sophia.

“I need help with some issues I have with my husband. The problem is with me.” Mu Zhi began hesitantly.

The doctor beckoned for Mu Zhi to take a seat. Then, Mu Zhi started described every strange symptoms she had to the doctor.

“Let me ask you a few questions, just be honest with me.” Sophia had a professional demeanor. She looked at Mu Zhi with a stern face.

Mu Zhi was seemingly relaxed even when it was her first meeting with Sophia. She nodded spontaneously.

“What kind of a man is your husband?” Asked Sophia.

“He’s brilliant, responsible, treats me well, cares about me, and thinks from my perspective all the time.”

“Try and recall, are there plenty of joyful memories you share?” Sophia pressed on.

“Quite a lot, but he’s a busy man. We rarely spend time with each other.”

Mu Zhi had more to say, but she was interrupted by the doctor. “Then, can you tell me exactly what the joyful memories are?”

“Many things, we share many happy memories. He knows what I love, creates surprises for me, gives me warmth…”

Mu Zhi wondered out loud.

She was certain that she had a blissful and rich past with Xie Xiu. But upon getting questioned, Mu Zhi realized that it was not the case. Their memories were speckled with voids.

It felt empty, as though nothing was to be recalled.

The doctor jotted down every observation she had. “Got it. Let me ask you one more question, what is the most touching thing he has ever done for you?”

Mu Zhi pondered hard but was reluctant to speak.

“Give me one specific example.” The doctor added.

“It’s difficult to single out an event, as I mentioned, he spends time on me, there are many things he does that touches me…”

Mu Zhi’s voice became softer towards the end.

Do I not trust Xie Xiu?

Or do I doubt myself?

At this moment, Sophia suddenly closed her notebook with a snap, then said, “Have you ever thought that you’ve never shared any love? Or perhaps, has it occurred to you that you don’t love him at all?”

Her remark put Mu Zhi at a loss.
