Dao of the Bizarre Immortal

Chapter 609 - Yang Na

The families of the patients and the workers of Kangning Hospital were all looking at a young lady sitting in the corner.

The young lady had a gorgeous, slender figure and was good looking overall.

Someone as pretty as her was a rare sight here, so everyone couldn't help but look at her.

Yang Na was wearing a white sweater beneath her red jacket, and she had on a small sling bag as well. Her hands were on her thighs as she waited impatiently for someone.

Yang Na had dressed herself up today, and her makeup was heavier than usual to hide her exhaustion. A jade earring was hanging from her left ear, and it jiggled as she looked left and right.

Yang Na looked at the time on her phone before taking out a small mirror and lipstick from her bag.

She redid her lipstick and pursed her lips.

Soon, someone called her name; she picked up the white bag beside her and ran toward a hospital staffer.

Yang Na smiled as she entered a certain room, but her expression froze upon seeing Li Huowang behind a wire fence.

“Wait, why is he locked up when I'm visiting him? The other hospitals are not like this! And this isn't a prison!” Yang Na exclaimed upon seeing Li Huowang's condition.

“Nana, it’s fine,” Li Huowang replied.

Yang Na ignored the staffer and walked up to the wire fence. She grabbed Li Huowang’s hands, and her eyes became wet with tears upon seeing the handcuffs on him.

Li Huowang hurriedly consoled her, saying, “Stop crying, Nana. I’m really fine. No need to feel bad for me. This is a great hospital, and the doctors are great here. The food isn’t that bad, and the patients are much more docile here. I even made some friends. Also, I’m getting better. It's only a matter of time before I get discharged! Once I'm discharged, we can finally meet outside.”

Thanks to Li Huowang, Yang Na managed to hold back her tears.

“Nana, why are you here? Who told you that I’m here?”

Li Huowang was surprised by Yang Na's visit. He thought that their next meeting would be outside.

Yang Na lowered her head and pressed Li Huowang’s palm on her cheek. “Auntie told me that you're here. She said that your illness has been cured and that you won’t become crazy again. She said that you can tell people apart now. Did you know that I couldn’t sleep for two nights after I got that phone call? I was so happy to hear that you're finally cured.”

Li Huowang couldn’t do anything about that. His mother was a worrywart and had the tendency to do unnecessary things.

Li Huowang was planning on calling Yang Na the moment he was discharged, but it seemed that his mother was even more impatient than him.

“Nana, I heard that you're sick. Are you feeling okay now?” asked Li Huowang. He was worried about her.

“I'm fine. I can manage it through medicine,” Yang Na smiled and said, “Did you know how happy I was when the doctor told me that I was sick? I thought I could get admitted to the same hospital as you.”

Yang Na was lying that she was fine, and Li Huowang saw through her. An illness that needed medicine to manage was serious.

A mild case of depression required no medicine, and there was a massive difference between mild depression and major depression.

A mild case of depression was just like having a cloud above one’s head that would go away over time.

However, major depression was like having a dog that would steal someone's ability to feel joy.

The dog, known as major depression, would always follow the individual, and it would grow larger over time.

The dog would vary in size, but it would never leave one's side.

The dog would keep following Yang Na until she was cured. In other words, she'd never be able to feel joy until she was cured.

Someone in the darkness with no light at the end of it would eventually plunge into despair.

It wouldn’t be a surprise if Yang Na was already entertaining thoughts of self-harm.

To make matters worse, the patient could relapse after a period of improvement. A relapse was basically guaranteed if the patient went through a traumatic experience.

“Nana,” Li Huowang said, looking into Yang Na's eyes. “Once I'm out here, I'll stay with you and face whatever you have to face.”

Yang Na bit her lips and nodded. Then, she remembered something and let go of Li Huowang's hands. She picked up the plastic bag on the ground and explained, “Huowang, take a look at these. These are your favorite snacks. I bought many of them. There’s liqueur-filled chocolate, crackers, and tomato-flavored chips. Hide these snacks, and don’t let the other patients steal them. Also, I bought you some essential daily items.”

The atmosphere between the two became better as Yang Na gradually relaxed.

Yang Na smiled often throughout their conversation as well.

Li Huowang was already cured, so their meeting today had a different meaning compared to their previous meetings.

Li Huowang was no longer plagued by those hallucinations, so they could finally see a future for themselves.

Yang Na never let go of Li Huowang's hands as she spoke about her plans with him once he was discharged.

Once he was discharged, Yang Na planned on bringing him with her to explore and eat good food. She wanted to make up for the torture he had gone through over the past few years.

Time flew by, and the visitation hours were up.

“Did your chest get scarred?” Li Huowang looked at her white sweater.

Yang Na’s smile gradually disappeared. “Well, there are six stitches, so there's some scarring."

“Nana, I’m so sorry. I was...” Li Huowang muttered.

"It's fine," Yang Na interrupted with a smile. "Plus, you're the only one who's going to see that place, so it's fine as long as you don’t find it repulsive.

"Anyway, look. I still have the present you gave me for my birthday," Yang Na said. She parted her hair and revealed the jade earring.

“Oh, but where did you get it? My friends said that it’s worth a lot. Did you spend a lot of money on it?” Yang Na asked casually. She then realized something important and looked at Li Huowang behind the wire fence. “Aren't you always in the hospital? How did you get out to buy this thng? There’s also the jade pendant.”

Li Huowang's pupils constricted. “Huh?”

“Yeah, the jade pendant is apparently worth four hundred thousand.”
