Chapter 32: I’m Sorry for The Director
Jian Rushi, who was lying in the hospital bed, woke up, feeling dizzy and groggy. She rubbed her eyes while murmuring, “I seem to see Helian Ze. He’s a real bastard.”
Mr. Helian standing near the bed was speechless.
Jian Rushi caught a glimpse of his face. She rubbed her eyes again, sat up and looked at him. After making sure that it was not a dream, she instinctively flattered, “Mr. Helian, you look so handsome.”
If not for the first sentence she had said after waking up, Helian Ze would believe that she was heartily praising him.
With a complex expression on his face, he asked, “Do you have anything else to say?”
Jian Rushi looked around and found herself in the hospital. Without hesitation, she asked, “Why did you come to the hospital?”
Hearing what she said, Helian Ze realized that Jian Rushi’s another personality had taken over her body. He clamped his hand over his forehead, feeling his temples throbbing. “You… Don’t you know why I’m here?”
Did she have no memories of what had happened these days?
Jian Rushi thought about it for a while. Mr. Helian looked well. It seemed that he had no reason to come to the hospital. Could it be that he got some unmentionable disease?
She fixed her eyes on his crotch and asked, “Are you here to treat infertility?”
Mr. Helian sneered in his heart, ‘Infertility? If I’m infertile, how could you get pregnant? Is your unborn child bestowed by heaven?’
When Jian Rushi was in a daze, Helian Ze walked out of the ward and explained the situation to the doctor.
The doctor was a highly respected expert who specialized in treatment of patients with dual personality. After thinking for a while, the doctor said, “Don’t excite her for the time being, and don’t tell her that she has a second personality. It’s better to let her get slowly back to normal.”
Psychotherapy should be done step by step.
Helian Ze learned the dos and don’ts by heart. When he returned to the ward, he saw Jian Rushi making a call.
He asked, “What are you doing?”
“I’m working,” answered Jian Rushi.
Helian Ze snatched the cell phone from her hand and said, “Put your work aside for the time being. You need to have a good rest.”
Jian Rushi’s eyes widened. “No! I have to seize the opportunity to improve my career prospects. How lucky I am to be chosen by the director to play the female lead in his TV play! In the past, I almost always played the role of the corpse. The only thing I had to do was to lie on the ground with my eyes closed. Maybe he was moved by the professionalism of my performance, so he let me play the heroine,” she said happily, with a self-satisfied smile on her face.
If she let go of this chance, she would feel guilty about letting the director down.
Helian Ze took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then said, “Just stay home and rest for a year, and then whatever TV play you want to be in, I will make you the heroine.”
Jian Rushi was dazed for a while, and asked, “Why?”
Helian Ze looked at her stomach, with a soft expression on his face. “You’re pregnant.”
Jian Rushi’s face remained inexpressive as she heard the news. She pondered for a while, and said seriously, “Mr. Helian, I don’t have the skill of asexual reproduction.”
Recalling what the doctor had said, Helian Ze stopped talking about her pregnancy.
But as time went by, her belly would become bigger and bigger, and he couldn’t hide the fact that she was pregnant.
After finishing all the hospital discharge procedures and getting into Helian Ze’s car, Jian Rushi suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, “How did you find me?”
‘Nice, you remember to ask about this. You are not a dull pregnant woman,’ he thought.
Mr. Helian searched his mind for suitable words to describe how they met last time. But Jian Rushi already imagined a story of their reunion. She glanced at him and concluded, “I didn’t expect that we would meet again. It must be fate.”
Mr. Helian was totally speechless.
