The doctor looked at the money on the table, then back at Lu Bancheng with a hesitant expression.
"I know the general situation, so telling me won't be considered a breach of privacy." After a pause, Lu Bancheng added, "Or, can you tell me if her condition is good or bad?"
The doctor lowered his head and was silent for less than a minute. Then he looked up at Lu Bancheng and compromised. "Miss Xu's condition is a little bad."
"She comes to see me once a week. For the past few months, she's been having nightmares almost every night. At the worst, she had suicidal thoughts. She's been taking medication. Although the situation is under control, it's only temporary. Especially in the past two days, she's seen people she doesn't want to see, so her mood has been particularly unstable."
In the past two days, she's seen people she doesn't want to see... Is it me?
Lu Bancheng moved his lips, but didn't make a sound. He silently waited for the doctor to continue.
"Just like you said, the people she doesn't want to see have done things to her that have left a deep psychological scar. Now, she's not only afraid of people she doesn't want to see, but also of many men who get too close to her. Deep down, she'll feel fear and repulsion.
"Her job requires her to come into contact with men. She has no choice but to endure it. The more she does this, the more her condition worsens.
"Actually, her condition improved half a month ago. I think it's because she's been in contact with the people she doesn't want to see the most during this period of time. Everything has worsened again.
"When she came over in the afternoon, she kept saying that she couldn't take it anymore. I talked to her a lot. When she left, her mood was still stable, but I know that it can only help her get some relief for a day or two.
"Actually, for now, the best way is to not have any contact with people she doesn't want to see. This will only agitate her and worsen her condition..."
"..."
The doctor spoke for a long time. When he was done, he asked curiously, "Excuse me, what's your relationship with Miss Xu?"
Lu Bancheng didn't answer the doctor, but stared out the window at the completely dark sky for a while. Then he withdrew his gaze and thanked the doctor. He stood up, looking like he was about to leave.
When the doctor saw him get up, he hurriedly stood up as well. He handed the money back to Lu Bancheng and said, "Sir, I don't want this money. Please take it …"
Lu Bancheng turned a deaf ear to her and walked toward the door.
The doctor kicked the chair behind him. "Sir, sir?"
Lu Bancheng acted as if he hadn't heard anything. He reached out and grabbed the doorknob. Before he opened the door, he seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at the doctor, who was about two meters behind him. "Don't tell her that I was here."
Without waiting for the doctor's response, he pulled open the door and left.
He walked out of the building and stood by the side of the street. The summer night wind blew in his face, bringing with it a dry heat that made his heart feel even more stifled and pained.
He had never liked smoking, but at this moment, the bitterness in his mouth was unbearable. He stood in place for a moment, then walked over to a nearby store and bought a pack of cigarettes. He lit one up and took two deep drags. Because he used too much force, he accidentally choked himself. He bent over and coughed violently.
