Chapter 0169 The Door!

　　”I’m curious about everything about this child, but vaguely concerned that he’s like a quagmire, and the closer he gets, the more dangerous he becomes.”

　　”The child’s mother suffers from bipolar disorder and is only less nervous when she sees her own child. To facilitate treatment, our doctors here always take the child to see her, mainly for relief.”

　　”The child has a natural attachment to his mother, and he can already recognize his own mother when he’s that little.”

　　”But what I found strange was that the first word the boy opened his mouth to utter was not his mother, nor his own name, but – ‘door’.”

　　”I thought at first that I had misheard him, or that it was a sound the child made unconsciously, and perhaps when the nurse picked up the child and left him, he pointed with his little pink hand to the door of the room where his own mother was shut, and mouthed the same word over and over again – door.”

　　”He seemed to be expressing himself to us that he wanted to be near the door.”

　　”This was the most disturbing thing to me; I cross-examined everyone in the sick bay, and not one of them had taught him to say that word!”

　　”No one taught it, yet he pronounced the word and knew exactly what it meant. Who told him all this? Could something else exist in my office?”

　　”What happened later was even more horrifying, when the nurse holding the child and I entered ward three to visit his mother, the boy looked at the end of the corridor and swung his arms around as if he was saying hello to someone.”

　　”I could see clearly at the time that there was no one else present in the corridor except us.”

　　”I wouldn’t have been too worried if that was all it was.”

　　”But then, the nurse also noticed something was wrong and asked him what he was doing. Who was he saying hello to?”

　　”The boy stammered out three words at the time – He Yajun.”

　　”The nurse didn’t understand the meaning of these three words and thought that the child was just babbling and randomly shouting, she didn’t take it to heart and carried the child into the depths of the corridor.”

　　”I actually wanted to stop her at that time, because He Yajun does exist. Before the third ward building was built, a worker had an accident, and that person’s name was He Yajun.”

　　”Even the doctors and nurses in the sickbay didn’t know about this incident, so how did he manage to pronounce He Yajun’s name?”

　　”I stood at the door of the sickroom and watched the nurse walk away with the child in her arms, and as she walked up the stairs, the little boy once again waved his hand towards the unoccupied corner beside the nurse.”

　　”Honestly, I’ve seen so many crazy people with bizarre illnesses and have never been afraid, but that day in the hallway, I felt fear for the first time.”

　　”After this experience, I paid more attention to him.”

　　The first letter ended here, until the end the dean didn’t say who the letter was going to be sent to, Chen Ge read all of it and only found the three words Dr. Chen at the beginning of the letter.

　　”Surname Chen? Could it be my father? But he’s a haunted house owner who has nothing to do with the profession of a doctor!” Chen Ge was full of joy thinking that he had found the clues left behind by his parents, but now he was a little too optimistic.

　　Opening the second letter, the content inside was even more bizarre.

　　”Dr. Chen, it’s necessary for us to meet, things have gotten a little out of hand.”

　　”When a child has just learned to crawl, he will go and actively search for his mother, no one in Ward 3 is sure how this child left the office and ran outside Ward 3 on his own.”

　　”The other nurses and doctors also noticed something wrong with this child, he rarely cried, always smiled at certain places, got happier as the night went on, and didn’t act like a child at all.”

　　”He learns extremely well and his speech has become fluent, he can say one word after another accurately, but the things he says always make people feel fearful.”

　　”Maybe it’s because the world in a child’s eyes is different from ours, he called patients taking sedative and sleeping drugs toys, and looked at them as if they were dead things.”

　　”He would also wave his fist and clap his hands at patients who had lost their minds, facing them but with his eyes fixed on their shoulders, as if there was something on their shoulders.”

　　”The most puzzling thing was that he was fond of running outside Ward 3, and without going in, he would stare straight at the door of the room, and could look at it all afternoon by himself.”

　　”Some of the doctors and nurses have suggested that I get rid of this child and give him to a welfare organization to raise, they are also scared by this child whole.”

　　”Giving the child away might have an effect on the mother’s treatment, it took us almost a year to stabilize his mother’s illness, we can’t do it halfway.”

　　”I overruled the doctor’s recommendation, and after about a few more months, there was good news from the police, who used the car with the registration plate as a clue to find the child’s real father in the south.”

　　”By this time, the child’s mother’s condition had basically stabilized, and we commissioned a lawyer to take the child’s father to court, demanding that he bear the costs incurred by the hospitalization and treatment, as well as demanding that he give the child’s mother a name.”

　　”The lawsuit was won, and the child’s father, I don’t know whether he was afraid of going to jail or was remorseful, had a great change of attitude.”

　　”Everything is developing in a good direction, the child’s mother is also gradually out of the disease, this young mother in front of her own child, seems extraordinarily strong.”

　　”Follow-up treatment lasted another six months, the child’s mother’s disease was completely under control, she had little family, and the day she left didn’t cause too many waves except for a handful of doctors.”

　　”The child followed his mother, but those three years in the psychiatric hospital had already had an irreversible effect on his development, and up until the night before he left, the boy snuck out into the hallway and said something no one could understand into the door panel.”

　　”After mother and son left, I thought the dust had settled and it all ended there, but no one expected things to get to a point where they were completely out of control.”

　　”Just a year later, when the boy was four years old, he was returned by his own father!”

　　”According to his father, the child’s mother was murdered in her home, and the child himself witnessed the whole thing.”

　　”Upon seeing the boy again, he was much changed, his only pillar had collapsed, and he was in the same state at this time as when his mother first arrived at the sick bay.”

　　”In view of the boy’s previous behavior, we did not accept him at the sick house, and told his father to take him to a larger hospital.”

　　”It was on the same night that we refused him, at the first minute after twelve o’clock midnight, that the door of Ward No. 3 in Ward Block 3, painted white, began to ooze blood outwards.”

　　”It lasted about a minute before it stopped, and by the time I knew about it, it was a week later. During this time, all sorts of unthinkable things began to happen in the sickbay.”

　　The second letter ended abruptly, and as Chen Ge looked at the words in the letter, corresponding to the dean’s description, he remembered someone who had the same experience.

　　He couldn’t wait to open the third letter, the envelope contained a photo of a woman and a child, and the moment he saw the photo, Chen Ge’s mind rippled wildly.

　　He had seen this photo just as he was helping Men Nan organize things at the Heming apartment!

　　A woman was lying on a hospital bed in a hospital gown, next to a shy and bashful little boy.
