Chapter 20: My Father Is Mentally Ill?

“Are you saying that my father is mentally ill?” Song Nuanyi asked in surprise. Qiao Kang had made great achievements in the medical field, especially in the field of neurology. He became the Song family doctor because his tuition from high school to university was funded by the Song family.

Qiao Kang saw that she was a little nervous and quickly said, “Don’t worry. I suspect that Elder Song’s behavior is a little abnormal. He has clearly fallen into a kind of self-dilemma. I have been following him around for the past few days and found that he is always in a trance and his memory is declining. These are all signs of mental problems, so I wanted to ask if you knew.”

He spread his hands and said, “It seems that you didn’t notice it.”

Song Nuanyi thought back to her previous life. Elder Song did not have any mental problems. Could it be that she had overlooked something?

“Then what should I do?” Song Nuanyi asked.

Qiao Kang leaned against the chair. He knew about the conflict between the father and daughter of the Song family, but it was not good for him to interfere in such family affairs. He thought for a while and said, “I will pay more attention to Elder Song’s situation in the near future. I will observe him, and if anything happens, I will contact you.”

Song Nuanyi said gratefully, “Thank you, Doctor Qiao.”

Qiao Kang smiled and said, “There’s no need to thank me. I treat you as my younger sister. I just don’t know if you think of me as your elder brother or not.”

Song Nuanyi giggled and said, “Don’t joke around, Doctor Qiao. With your status in the medical world, calling You ‘Big Brother’ is way above my pay grade!”

Qiao Kang smiled as well. He really treated Song Nuanyi like a little sister. If it was not for her, he would not have achieved so much. She had brought him to the Song family when he was young and begged Elder Song to help pay for his tuition fees. Without her, he would have died of hunger a long time ago, let alone pursue a career in medicine.

“Let’s go. I’ll treat you to a meal. We haven’t seen each other for a long time. Tell me about your life.” Qiao Kang had an urgent matter to attend, and missed her previous wedding event. He even specially sent someone to send a wedding gift over. He never would have thought that after he finished his work and returned, he heard that the Song family and the Cao family’s wedding had fallen apart.

Song Nuanyi nodded and the two walked out of the cafe together.

Qiao Kang found a restaurant. After the two of them sat down, he said, “The steak here is very delicious. You will definitely like it.”

Song Nuanyi knew that he never liked Western food, so she asked curiously, “I thought you hated Western food the most? How did you know about this restaurant?”

She did not expect this question to make Qiao Kang’s face turn red.

It was the first time Song Nuanyi saw him blushing like this, so she was surprised. She took a guess, “Is it because of a girl?”

Qiao Kang’s expression became even more strange, and Song Nuanyi knew that she guessed right. Now, she was even more curious. Who was so capable to make this usually calm and indifferent Doctor Qiao show such an expression?

Qiao Kang’s expression only returned to normal after a long while. Facing song Nuanyi’s curious gaze, he said indifferently, “I’ll introduce you to her in the future.”

Song Nuanyi’s eyes widened. She smiled and wished him well. “Then congratulations, Doctor Qiao.”

A long time ago, she had suspected that the always cold Qiao Kang would be lonely for the rest of his life. She did not expect him to find a woman he liked so quickly.

Qiao Kang picked up the cup, took a sip, and asked, “Let’s not talk about me. Let’s talk about you. What’s going on between you and Cao Yuhan?”

He knew that song Nuanyi had liked Cao Yuhan since she was young.

When song Nuanyi heard his name, her hurt turned cold. Then, she calmly said, “He cheated on me. Also, he cheated on me with a man.”
