Han Haiying said, “Why don’t you and Han wait outside for a bit, while I have a good chat with this young friend?”
“Okay.”
Lin Qi took Han out of the clinic room and gently closed the door behind them.
The clinic was vast, as Doctor Han was an expert in children’s psychological issues, thus her office was filled with toys that children loved, including a Lego sandbox.
Lin Qi then started playing Lego with Han.
Half an hour passed by unnoticed…
Suddenly, a scream came from the clinic room.
Lin Qi was startled, she quickly walked to the door, and through it, she heard Lili crying uncontrollably. It was the first time she heard such a piercing cry filled with fear, unsettlement, and despair…
She wanted to enter to see what was happening, but Doctor Han’s assistant stopped her.
“Ma’am, Doctor Han is conducting psychological therapy for this child, you can’t go in right now, it would disrupt the treatment.”
Lin Qi said, “I heard her crying, I’m worried she’s been triggered.”
The assistant patiently explained, “You have to trust Doctor Han, she is an expert in the field of children’s psychology and I trust she will handle everything well.”
Lin Qi nodded and returned to her seat.
Through the door, she could hear Lili’s intermittent crying.
At times intense, at times suppressed, sometimes calming down, crying while answering questions, and sometimes suddenly breaking down and sobbing heavily.
Lin Qi felt her heart wrench listening to it.
Unknowingly, another hour passed—
Finally, the door opened.
Doctor Han emerged from the clinic room, her face somewhat ashen.
Lin Qi walked over worriedly and asked, “Doctor Han, how is this child?”
Doctor Han said, “It’s clear she suffers from ‘post-traumatic stress disorder’. Many unfortunate events have happened to this child, and during the questioning, she voiced how she witnessed her mother’s murder, her father’s abandonment…”
In addition to the shadow of the Black Mass Incident, Lili has undergone significant emotional trauma and has become especially sensitive and overly vigilant.
Doctor Han asked a few questions, she displayed an exaggerated startle response, and her emotional dependence on Lin Qi is also due to the multitude of tragedies she faced; she has no sense of security and only Lin Qi can provide her warmth, furthermore, she suffers from separation anxiety.
Too dependent on Lin Qi, she worries Lin Qi might not want her and fears being separated, becoming completely abandoned, thus her emotions are somewhat pessimistic, and she acts in a pleasing and clingy manner around Lin Qi.
Lin Qi asked, “What should we do? Are these symptoms severe? Does she need psychological treatment?”
Doctor Han recommended, “I suggest twice a week. Since these are psychological symptoms and the child is still young, if these issues are not resolved at this stage, these nightmares will grow with her and become her lifelong shadow.”
Lin Qi asked, “How long will the treatment take?”
Doctor Han answered, “I don’t know, it depends on the child’s cognitive ability and receptiveness. Some children are perceptive and quickly overcome their issues, but some are not and are naturally pessimistic, unable to fully recover. In any case, she needs more companionship now. I see she is very dependent on you, are you her adoptive parent?”
Lin Qi said, “No.”
“No wonder,” the doctor remarked with a sigh, “She is very insecure and afraid that you will send her back to the orphanage.”
Lin Qi pressed her lips together and said nothing.
She didn’t want to send Lili back either, but to everyone else, she and Lili had no familial ties and there was no obligation for her to invest so much in Lili.
Nowadays, kindness didn’t seem to hold much value.
…
Leaving the psychology clinic.
Lin Qi was heavy with thoughts.
She held Lili’s hand, feeling the cold sweat in the small palm. In Lin Qi’s presence, Lili was visibly suppressing her uneasy emotions, hardly daring to speak, only wanting to behave as well as possible before Lin Qi.
It seemed like, she needed to be even better and more likable to earn her place by Lin Qi’s side.
Han glanced at Lili, seeing her clinging closely to Lin Qi, her little face pale, and from her eyes, Han recognized a trace of anxiety.
He suddenly saw an ice cream truck not far away.
Han said, “Aunt Qiqi, Lili wants to eat ice cream.”
Upon hearing this, Lili quickly looked up, waving her hands nervously.
She didn’t dare to ask Lin Qi for anything, not even an ice cream.
Lin Qi chuckled, “Han, is it you who wants to eat ice cream?”
Han said, “I think Lili is unhappy, and when I’m unhappy, I want to eat ice cream.”
He naively thought, Lili must be like him. If she eats something delicious, her mood would brighten up.
Lin Qi smiled, “Okay. Then I’ll go buy some for you.”
For Han, Lin Qi naturally responded to every request.
“Okay!”
Han obediently held Lili’s hand, “I and Lili will wait here for you.”
“Okay.”
Lin Qi looked around.
She had Han and Lili sit on a bench at a bus station so that she could see the movements of the two children even while queuing for ice cream, and then she walked to the front of the ice cream truck to line up.
Han and Lili obediently sat on the bench waiting.
“Han?”
Three meters away, he heard a familiar voice.
Han looked up and saw a woman approaching, wearing a sun hat, with a slightly bulging belly, as if she was pregnant.
He recognized the woman in front of him at a glance, his eyes slightly widening, pupils constricting.
Shuyan…?

It was her, the bad woman who almost killed Aunt Qiqi by pushing her down.
Han stood up alertly, pulling Lili as he tried to leave.
But Shuyan grabbed Han: “Han, don’t you recognize me?”
Han struggled fiercely, “Don’t touch me!”
He pushed Shuyan away and ran towards Lin Qi, shouting, “Aunt Qiqi…”
Shuyan narrowed her eyes and a chilly smile appeared on her lips, looking at Han’s back, she suddenly stretched out her hand and pushed him hard towards the road…
At the same time—
Lin Qi had just scanned the code and paid.
The cashier handed her two cups of ice cream: “Hello, your two ice creams.”
Lin Qi reached out to take the ice creams when suddenly, from behind her, a “bang” sounded, accompanied by the piercing sound of screeching brakes, and the people on the roadside immediately erupted into intermittent cries of alarm.
“A person was hit!”
“Two kids were hit by a car.”
Lin Qi’s heart raced, turning towards the sound.
In the middle of the road.
A car stood still, emergency flashers blinking.
Crowds gathered around the car, growing more numerous.
“Such poor kids, where are the parents? How could they not watch their kids.”
“Is the child’s mother brainless? There are so many cars on the road, I’ve never seen such irresponsible parenting!”
“Quick, call the police! Call an ambulance, the children are seriously injured and bleeding a lot.”
