If it hadn’t been for He Teng telling him these things, Lin Chan would have thought it was just a prank by someone, considering he had just seen He Zhilan a few days ago, and when he saw her, she appeared completely normal, just like any other person.

"That’s true, now that I think about it, there was something abnormal about her from the miscarriage to her discharge from the hospital.

" Lin Chan sighed, "She had suffered such a big blow, but she recovered her spirits in just a few days, showing a strength that was hard to believe and also deeply distressing. "

At that time, however, He Zhilan acted as though she had let go of all those things, she could laugh, she could joke, no one would have imagined that behind those emotions, there lurked such a danger.

"I was negligent," He Teng blamed himself deeply.

"He Mutou, don’t overthink it, it’s not just on you.

Look, Dongxue is a doctor, yet even she didn’t notice Zhilan’s abnormal behavior, so it’s even less surprising that we missed it.

I’ll contact Zhou Hongjin right away to get him to find a psychologist. Since we’ve discovered it now, it shouldn’t be too serious," Lin Chan comforted He Teng verbally, but in his heart, he was genuinely very worried for He Zhilan.

How could a fine person end up tormented to this extent? It’s almost like she’s suffering from mental illness?

Gu Family! The very thought of the Gu Family made Lin Chan so angry that he wanted to rush over to confront them; he couldn’t fathom how much more the Gu Family intended to torment He Zhilan!

Being abandoned by her own mother, causing the loss of the long-awaited child, was a blow that anyone would find difficult to bear, let alone someone as psychologically sensitive as He Zhilan.

After hanging up the phone, He Teng’s furrowed brows never eased.

He sat in his office for over half an hour and still felt uneasy about He Zhilan, so he went back home—this was the first time in his over ten years of military career that he had left work to attend to personal matters during office hours.

When He Teng arrived home, he heard He Zhilan humming a song the moment he walked through the door. The tune was light and cheerful; one could tell that the singer was in a good mood.

"You’re not resting?" He Teng entered the bedroom to find He Zhilan sitting on the floor browsing through books.

"Oh? Why are you back at this time?" He Zhilan lifted her head, looking surprised, "Didn’t you leave just an hour ago?"

"Yes," He Teng nodded, took a few steps towards He Zhilan, and directly pulled her up, "Don’t sit on the floor, it’s too cold. In the end, you’re the one who will suffer."

"It’s the middle of summer, sitting on the floor won’t hurt~" He Zhilan mumbled in rebuttal, but obediently moved to sit on the bed.

"Why not lie down and rest on the bed?" He Teng bent over to pick up the books scattered on the floor by He Zhilan and handed them to her while asking.

"I can’t sleep~ If I could fall asleep now, I’d be the reincarnation of Zhu Bajie!" He Zhilan chuckled lightly, took the book, opened it, and started to hum softly again, singing the same song He Teng had heard when he came in.

Watching the smile and contentment in He Zhilan’s eyes and brows, He Teng still found it hard to believe that her heart, was ill.

"Then keep reading, I’m going out," He Teng lifted his hand to gently rub the top of He Zhilan’s head.

"Mmm~ Go ahead~ Go on~" The little woman on the bed didn’t even look up, waving her delicate hand indicating that He Teng could get back to his busy schedule.

Lin Chan has always prioritized He Zhilan’s matters the most. After hanging up with He Teng, he postponed his meetings and immediately called Zhou Hongjin to ask about Zhou Hongjin’s mother’s friend who was a psychologist.
