Chapter 344: Why Was She Triggered?
"Why would Qian Qian be so triggered?"
Shi Qiuran suddenly fell silent. After a while, he heard her voice.
"Qian Qian was still young when Lin Shiming and I divorced. I left with nothing and had nowhere to go. I had to go back to my old home. It was the countryside and conditions were bad. I had to go out to work. I was often gone late at night. Qian Qian was alone."
"I don’t know. She’s afraid of the dark. She always sleeps with the lights on secretly, but I’m worried that sleeping with the lights on will affect her development. Every time I need to work the night shift, I turn off the electric switch at home and turn off the lights for her."
"Once, there was lightning and thunder at night. Qian Qian was woken up by the thunder. She was so afraid that she stepped on the bench to pull the electric switch. The electric switch at home was already a little old. She was weak, so sparks flew before she could push it up. The circuit at home caught fire. Fortunately, the neighbor discovered it in time and saved Qian Qian from the fire."
"When I got back, Qian Qian kept having a high fever and twitching. After she recovered, she stopped talking and became a lot timid. The teacher even told me that she can’t concentrate when she’s in class, especially at night. Whenever there’s any movement, she’s so nervous that her hair stands on end. She grits her teeth tightly and can’t speak or even breathe on her own. Her entire body is stiff and she can’t move."
"Later, a psychiatrist told me that if I wanted Qian Qian to get better, I had to change her environment and make her feel safe again. I scraped a little money and made a down payment in the city. I bought a second-hand house and moved to a new home. With the treatment, Qian Qian’s condition gradually improved."
Shi Qiuran told him the cause and effect of Shi Qian’s intense stress reaction.
