Chapter 77: Restoring Normality

Meng Xi looked at Shen Yunhe. “Can you clarify your wife’s situation for me?”

Shen Yunhe nodded. “The first time she showed signs of abnormal behavior was seven years ago, when she asked for a divorce. I believe that was when her second personality emerged. She thought our world was a book and that she had somehow entered it. To me, it seemed absurd.”

“Later, because she had depression, I brought her here for treatment. Due to her emotional turmoil, her third personality, Su Jian, appeared. Su Jian is a girl with violent tendencies and a playful nature.”

“Her behavior is quite immature, so I think she’s still quite young. After a fight, my wife—Jiang Banyue, the one I married—came back. She only remembers the memories of giving birth, and everything else is forgotten.”

Meng Xi nodded, casually turning a cigarette between his fingers.

“Each personality’s memory is incomplete. The three of them together form the real Jiang Banyue. I need to hypnotize her to bring out the memories hidden deep within. I hope you both can agree.”

Shen Yunhe looked at Jiang Banyue. She appeared nervous, frightened, filled with a fear of the unknown.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m right here with you.”

Jiang Banyue tightly gripped his hand. “If I’m not here, you must take good care of the children. Don’t let them be hurt.”

Shen Yunhe squatted beside her, his eyes fixed on hers.

“Banban, don’t be afraid. Once you regain your memory, everything will be fine. I’ll always be by your side.”

Lan Haizhou and Shen Yunhe left the consultation room and waited outside. Meng Xi came to Jiang Banyue’s side, speaking gently to her.

“Relax your body, you’re very tired now, your body is exhausted, and you want to sleep. Don’t resist, close your eyes and rest for a while.”

Jiang Banyue relaxed and lay back in the chair, slowly closing her eyes. Meng Xi began speaking slowly.

“Tell me, who are you?”

“Jiang Banyue.”

“Okay, Jiang Banyue, I hear you’ve had three lovely babies, is that right?”

“Yes, but I…” Jiang Banyue, lying down, suddenly turned pale. Her head kept shaking, and her hands clenched into fists.

Seeing that something was wrong, Meng Xi spoke softly.

“Jiang Banyue, don’t worry, relax your body. Don’t think about it, take it slow… slowly… don’t rush…”

Jiang Banyue slowly relaxed her body, her hands loosening. Meng Xi changed the topic and continued asking.

“I hear from your husband that you make delicious cakes. That’s great. Did you learn how to make cakes?”

“I learned, in a very large cake shop. They were eating durian cake, and I wanted to try it, so I floated into the back kitchen to watch them make the cake.”

“Float?” Meng Xi didn’t understand what that meant.

“Why did you float over?”

“It’s just that I floated over. The cake shop was nice. I stayed there for a long, long time…”

“How long is a long time?” Meng Xi guided her, and Jiang Banyue furrowed her brows.

“I don’t know. Later, the cake shop was torn down and replaced with a big villa.”

“So where did you go?”

“I… I stayed there the whole time. Later, a family of three moved into the villa. I was afraid I might scare them, so I stayed in the attic and didn’t dare to go outside.”

“What happened to you? Why were you afraid of scaring them?”

“I… I’m different from them, different…”

Jiang Banyue became agitated again, and Meng Xi quickly changed the topic.

“Was it a couple with a child who came?”

“Yes, it was a very happy family of three. Later, later, ah…”

“Jiang Banyue, what’s wrong?” Suddenly, Jiang Banyue covered her head and screamed in pain. Meng Xi was startled and hurried over to comfort her.

But it was no use. Jiang Banyue became even more frantic, muttering nonstop.

“Su Jian, Su Jian, Su Jian, hurry and leave, run away, don’t stay here, don’t…”

Jiang Banyue, with tears on her face, woke up in pain, covering her face and crying loudly. When Shen Yunhe heard the noise, he rushed in anxiously.

“Wife!” Shen Yunhe hurried over to hold her tightly. “Don’t be afraid, darling, I’m here!”

“Ahh…” Jiang Banyue cried out in pain, and Shen Yunhe held her tightly, heartbroken. Lan Haizhou asked the teacher anxiously.

“Teacher, what’s going on? What happened to her?”

Meng Xi shook his head. “Although I don’t know what exactly happened, I can be sure that her memories have all connected, and the three personalities are slowly integrating.”

Jiang Banyue fainted in Shen Yunhe’s arms, and Shen Yunhe rushed to the emergency room with her. Lan Haizhou followed. After the doctor examined her, they gave her a sedative shot.

“She’ll be fine after a good sleep.”

Shen Yunhe stayed by her side, and Lan Haizhou patted his shoulder.

“My teacher, once she wakes up, everything will return to normal.”

Shen Yunhe spoke hoarsely. “Please thank your teacher for me. Once my wife is better, we’ll visit in person to express our gratitude.”

“It’s nothing,” Lan Haizhou waved his hand dismissively. “By the way, have your son come too. His symptoms should be better than your wife’s.”

“Okay, thank you.”

The next day, Jiang Banyue opened her eyes. Shen Yunhe hurriedly bent down to look at her.

“Wife, have you remembered everything?”

Jiang Banyue gave a faint smile, pulling at the corner of her lips.

“Yunhe.”

“I’m here.”

“Let’s remarry.”

Shen Yunhe excitedly picked her up. “Wife, you’ve remembered everything, right? Everything is back to normal, right?”

“Mm.” Jiang Banyue nodded. “I really miss the kids.”

“Okay, once you’re better, we’ll go to Jin City to find them. Before that, we’ll remarry and give the kids a surprise.”

“Okay!”

Jiang Banyue rested in bed for two more days. Shen Yunhe took her to the civil affairs bureau to remarry, and when they came out, they held hands.

“From now on, we’ll always be together with the kids, never apart again.”

The two of them went to see Meng Xi again. Meng Xi treated Jiang Banyue one more time.

“My friend, you’re recovering very well.”

“Thank you.” Jiang Banyue stepped forward and gave Meng Xi a hug. Shen Yunhe seriously thanked Meng Xi.

“Mr. Meng Xi, thank you!”

“No need to thank me. I heard from Haizhou that your son has the same situation. I’ll be staying here for a while longer, so feel free to bring him to see me anytime.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Shen Yunhe and Jiang Banyue boarded the train to Jin City.
