Chapter 868: The Truth about Eight Years Ago (16)
Song Yuanxi halted when she heard Qiao Lian’s words.
Realizing that Song Yuanxi had not hung up, she continued, “If he can’t be cured, it will impact his health for sure, and it could even endanger his life.”
“Song Yuanxi, I know I’m the one you hate. You deeply love Shen Liangchuan and Mom. You won’t hurt them, isn’t that right?”
“Can you tell me the truth? Or if you won’t tell me, then tell the psychologist and allow the psychologist to find the best treatment.”
“Shen Liangchuan fainted two days ago from the lack of sleep, and he is exhausted.”
“Song Yuanxi, I’m pleading with you.”
After saying all of this, she quietly waited for Song Yuanxi’s reply.
After a while, she finally spoke, “I’m not in Beijing. I’ll only be back tomorrow and will go to the psychologist with you.”
Immediately, Qiao Lian sighed with relief and teared up. She paused for a moment and said, “Ok.”
After hanging up, Qiao Lian lay on her bed quietly, as though she had taken a weight off her shoulders.
Finally, there was a way to solve the problem. Finally, she was one step closer to the truth of what had happened eight years ago.
Qiao Lian shut her eyes.
In her dream, she seemed to have heard a sound.
Her eyes snapped open and she saw that Shen Liangchuan was home.
He seemed to have had a bit to drink, as there was a faint smell of alcohol on him.
He was changing in the dark.
After he had done so, he stood there, as though observing Qiao Lian.
She kept silent and didn’t move.
He seemed to think she was asleep.
He walked over to the bedside table and picked up the vial of sleeping pills.
He took one, hesitated, and then grabbed another two. Three in total. And he took all of them in a single gulp.
Following this, he got into bed.
Qiao Lian waited in the dark. She waited for a long time, until she heard his shallow and regular breathing.
Shen Liangchuan was finally asleep.
Qiao Lian shut her eyes in relief.
In the middle of the night, the man got out of bed, stood up and went to the washroom.
When he got back into bed, he lay quietly next to her, not moving at all.
But Qiao Lian knew. He wasn’t sleeping.
Three sleeping pills had given him only two hours of sleep.
Two hours…
Qiao Lian felt her nails digging into the palms of her hands.

Just as the sky started to brighten up, Shen Liangchuan got up. After washing up, he went downstairs and saw that Xia Yehua was in the living room, making soup for him.
He raised his eyebrows when he saw Xia Yehua walking out. Her gaze fell on him and she asked, “Liangchuan, did you sleep well last night?”
His expression deepened and he replied in a relaxed tone, “I slept well. Had a few drinks and it helped.”
She nodded and sighed with relief. “That’s good then!”
He headed out for a run.
After three loops around the garden, he stopped and noticed that his vision had become blurry.
He stumbled and immediately reached out to hold onto the tree trunk next to him, to steady himself.
However when he looked up, he realized he was seeing double.
He frowned with intense concentration and shook his head.
He stood on the spot and squeezed his eyes shut. After a moment, he felt a little better. He started to walk back to the house.
All this time, he was unaware that Qiao Lian had been watching him from the balcony of their bedroom window on the second floor.
