Although Tong Wan was a hypnotist, she had just emerged from a vegetative state. Her body and mind were severely weakened, and her hypnosis abilities were greatly diminished. She was far less proficient than Tally, whom Gu Yang had encountered before.
It could be said that Tong Wan’s level of hypnosis was only a fraction of Tally’s, sufficient to influence an ordinary person like Ruan Xueling.
However, Tong Wan couldn’t sustain it for long.
Gu Yang surmised that Tong Wan had likely used hypnosis to control the nurse before escaping from the ward. But given her current weakened state, continuing to rely on hypnosis would only drain her mental strength further and hinder her recovery.
Now that Tong Wan was in a mentally unstable state, Gu Yang wasn’t certain if she would respond to rational conversation. Thus, she opted to provide a subtle psychological suggestion, advising Tong Wan not to wander and refrain from using hypnosis until she was discharged.
After calming Tong Wan down, Gu Yang gently pulled her out from behind the bushes.
Then, she softly shook Ruan Xueling’s arm, bringing her out of her trance.
Ruan Xueling gazed at Tong Wan with concern. “Yangyang, she doesn’t seem well. Should we call a nurse and take her back to the ward?”
“She’s probably Teacher Xiao’s mother.” Gu Yang dialed Xiao Yize’s number without hesitation.
Upon hearing from the nurses that his mother had once again slipped out of the ward, Xiao Yize rushed to the military hospital.
He had been searching for someone in the hospital when he received Gu Yang’s call, prompting him to hurry over.
“Sister, thank you so much,” Xiao Yize expressed his gratitude.
Gu Yang smiled and waved her hand. “No need to thank me. Teacher Xiao, you’ve helped us a lot too.”
Ruan Xueling inquired, “Xiao, is she your mother?”
“Yes, Auntie Ruan. My mother has just recovered from a serious illness, and her mental state is still fragile. She tends to wander. I’m relieved that you found her,” Xiao Yize admitted, his anxiety palpable.
He had been genuinely concerned that his mother might wander out of the military hospital and face danger or encounter the people who had harmed her in the past.
His mother needed rest and protection from those who had once plotted against her.
Xiao Yize escorted Tong Wan back to the ward. As the day was drawing to a close, Ruan Xueling suggested that Gu Yang head home while she accompanied Xiao Yize and the others back to the ward.
Gu Yang reasoned that since she had some free time over the next few days and frequently visited the military hospital, she might as well prioritize Tong Wan’s treatment.
The following day, upon arriving at the military hospital, Gu Yang proceeded with Tong Wan’s psychiatric evaluation.
Since the subtle psychological suggestion she had given Tong Wan the previous day, Tong Wan had been remarkably compliant, refraining from using hypnosis or attempting to leave the ward.
Seated on her bed, Tong Wan regarded Gu Yang with curiosity. Unable to resist, she reached out and pinched Gu Yang’s cheek. With a smile, she inquired, “Little cutie, what’s your name?”
“Gu Yang,” she replied.
Observing Tong Wan, Gu Yang couldn’t help but marvel inwardly. Time truly seemed to favor the beautiful. Gazing at Tong Wan’s gentle and endearing countenance, Gu Yang found herself forming a favorable impression of her.
Tong Wan blinked. “Yangyang?”
Gu Yang nodded in confirmation.
Xiao Yize interjected, “Mom, Gu Yang is Jin’s sister.”
Tong Wan’s gaze softened even further as she looked at Gu Yang. “So you’re Jin’s sister. Then, Little Cutie Yangyang, we’ll be family in the future.”
The mention of Gu Jin prompted a smile from Xiao Yize. “We’ll be family.”
Inwardly, Gu Yang couldn’t help but marvel at the confidence shared between Tong Wan and Xiao Yize.
Just then, Gu Yang noticed Gu Jin in a white coat standing at the door. She approached them. “Sister, you’re here too.”
Xiao Yize was taken aback, turning to see Gu Jin leaning against the door.
He coughed lightly, trying to conceal his embarrassment. He wondered if Miss Gu had overheard their conversation just now.
