Chapter 84.1 : Tang Xuerong Fails to Recognize the Tang Family (Part 1)
The Tang family soon arrived at the hospital entrance. They didn't see Tang Qingmo anywhere—but they had no intention of waiting for him.
Tang Aili went straight to the front desk. After getting the room number, she led everyone to the ward to visit the patient.
Because this was a private hospital, the VIP ward where Tang Xuerong was staying was exceptionally spacious.
Inside were sofas and all kinds of daily-use appliances, and nurses were stationed outside on guard.
However, despite having such an excellent environment for recovery, when the Tang family entered the room, what they saw was a large, soft hospital bed placed against the wall—and Tang Xuerong curled up tightly on it.
Forget greeting anyone. Her expression was filled with terror, her lips trembling. Even when the door opened, she acted as if she hadn't heard a thing, hugging her head tightly.
There were also obvious injuries on her face—as if she had been harmed!
"Xuerong? What happened to you?"
Seeing her once-proud daughter reduced to this state, Bai Hualian couldn't help but rush forward in heartbreak, reaching out to touch her.
But to her shock, at the slightest contact, Tang Xuerong reacted as if triggered—she slapped Bai Hualian's hand away, then hugged herself even tighter, staring at her with a guarded, wary gaze.
"Ah… ah…!"
"Xuerong, what's wrong!? I'm your mother!"
Bai Hualian was terrified!
Her daughter had been perfectly fine just two days ago—how had she turned into this!?
"Aili! What is going on with this hospital?"
Seeing Tang Xuerong like this, Tang Jianren flew into a rage and could only turn his glare on Tang Aili.
This hospital was the one she had recommended!
Just two days ago, Xuerong could still speak normally—how had she become this foolish-looking mess now!?
"I'll go call Dr. Chen right away."
Tang Aili was just as clueless.
Tang Xuerong had only attacked Tang Feifei because she was overly stimulated.
After resting for a while and calming her emotions, she should've been fine!
In fact, she had even planned to help Tang Xuerong get discharged today!
Only after seeing Tang Xuerong's abnormal state did Tang Xianxi, who had been hiding behind the others, slowly step forward.
From the beginning, he'd planned that if Tang Xuerong still displayed the same intense, suffocating affection toward him as she had two days ago, he would just act invisible.
But now she looked as if she didn't recognize any of them at all…
Relieved, he walked up to her bedside and spoke cautiously,
"Fifth Sister, it's me—Xiao Xi."
"..."
"Do you recognize me? Are you feeling unwell?"
"..."
"Fifth Sister?"
Tang Xianxi called out several more times.
But Tang Xuerong still looked as though she didn't know him, her eyes fixed blankly on the bed.
Joy surged in his heart!
He didn't know what had happened, but if Tang Xuerong's suffocating, obsessive love for him had disappeared, that was a good thing!
"Miss Xuerong's family has arrived?"
At that moment, a man in a white lab coat approached. He looked young and capable, with a kind, benevolent demeanor.
"And you are?" Tang Jianren asked with a frown.
"I'm Miss Xuerong's attending physician—the one Miss Aili introduced. My name is Chen Biantai."
Chen Biantai took out a business card and handed it to Tang Jianren.
Tang Aili added, "Dr. Chen is the best specialist in treating mental illnesses in Modu (Demon City). He's known as the 'Psychiatric Killer.'"
[TN: I think Psychiatric Killer sounds better than Mental Executioner.]
But Tang Jianren only stuffed the card away casually, his tone unpleasant.
"I don't care what kind of 'killer' you are. I just want to know why my daughter has become like this."
"Yes, doctor!"
Bai Hualian was extremely anxious.
"Xuerong was clearly fine two days ago! What on earth happened!?"
