The doctor took one glance at the money on the table and then looked back at Lu Bancheng with hesitation on his face.
"I am aware of her rough situation, so telling me would not be considered a breach of privacy." After a pause, Lu Bancheng continued. "So, is her present condition good or bad?"
The doctor lowered his head. Thirty seconds later, he raised it and, looking directly at Lu Bancheng, he said, "Ms. Xu's situation is rather bad."
"She's been coming here once a week for the past few months. She's been having nightmares almost every night. At their worst, she had suicidal thoughts. She's been on medication for a while, and it was under control, but a few days ago she ran into someone who triggered her emotions and she has become unstable again."
She met someone she didn't want to meet… In the past few days… Is that me?
