Chapter 1168: The Meaning of Zuo Han’s Existence

The word parent had special meaning for Chen Ge. No matter inside his fragmented memory or the memory that doctor fed him, his parents was the starting point of all the mystery. One could say that Chen Ge was the way he was now was mainly because of his parents. He was very certain of that but he had no idea why these thought would appear in his mind.

In his memory, parents meant more than just the words parents. Once he tried to think of anything related to his parents, his brain would throb with pain. Even though the doctors had told him things about his parents, Chen Ge found himself unable to agree with them, it was as if the parents the doctors were talking about were someone else’s parents. With Chen Ge’s personality he would not openly discuss these things with others, but he did not expect Zuo Han to approach him so directly.

Every words that came out of Zuo Han’s mouth was like knives that drove themselves into Chen Ge’s brain and pierced through the broken pieces.

“They are still alive?” There was a big premise that everything that the hospital had told him and that was that Chen Ge’s parents had died in a car accident, but if Chen Ge’s parents were still alive, then it would prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the hospital was lying to him!

Therefore to tell the false from the fear, to determine whether he was sick or not, the simplest way was to find his parents. This was the final thought that Chen Ge had before he fainted. Before he fainted, he pushed Zuo Han away, he was worried that his second persona might injure Zuo Han.

Seeing Chen Ge faint again, Zuo Han took in a cold breath. “Such a strong determination. The blood veins popped up all over his body like poisonous snakes but he manage to last until the last moment and only fainted after he pushed me away.” Actually Zuo Han was quite afraid of Chen Ge but the things and details that Chen Ge did always manage to lower that fear that he had. For example, Chen Ge resisted that amount of pain and would still be concerned about Zuo Han’s safety.

“Why would such a kind person have to suffer such a punishment?” Zuo han turned back to look at the door and his eyes turned cold. “This world looks so perfect on the surface and all my memories tell me that this is a blissful world but such a perfect world has trapped me inside a mental hospital so is it really that perfect to begin with?”

…

When Chen Ge woke up next, it was already night time. Doctor Gao and two workers were inside the room. Zuo Han was lying on his side, it appeared like he was asleep.

“Time to take your medicine, Chen Ge.” Doctor Gao took out 3 white pills. After he saw Chen Ge swallow them, his expression softened. “The food is placed on your bedside table, remember to eat them. Tonight you better close the door before you got to sleep, there has been a small problem at the hospital recently. A patient is injured. We temporarily have not found the culprit so you better not go wandering around at night.”

“Okay.” Chen Ge nodded weakly. His body appeared to reach its limit already, his face was pale.

“You better rest.” Doctor Gao sighed. He had the workers undo the straps around Chen Ge’s limbs and left.

“How come it feels like Doctor Gao is getting busier and busier. A few days ago, he gave me a sense of unwavering confidence, has something happened to him?” A doctor had to make sure that they were well prepared before they faced their patient, that was why they would remind themselves to be in their best condition when they were dealing with certain patients. At the beginning, Doctor Gao was a model doctor but for the past few days, his condition had been worsening.

“Is there a patient who is more troublesome than I am at the hospital?” After Doctor Gao left, Chen Ge’s expression returned to normal. “Then again it might not be a patient, it could be another doctor.” Moving his wrists, Chen Ge sat up in bed. “Looks like something has indeed happened at the hospital or else they would not have purposely come to help me remove the binding.”

Taking out the pills that were hidden under his tongue, Chen Ge was about to grind them into dust when he noticed something was wrong. Of the three pills Doctor Gao gave him, two were white and one had a black stripe on it.

“What’s this? A hair piece? No, it is slenderer than hair.” Chen Ge was flustered. “Is it possible that Doctor Gao suspect I am not taking my medicine so he purposely switched one of them out?” Chen Ge did not destroy the pills but moved to wake up Zuo Han, “Brother, can you help me?”

He told Zuo Han about his discovery and hoped Zuo Han could help him capture some bugs or small animals to conduct some experiment. But when Zuo Han heard about it, he told Chen Ge they should just grind the pills into dust and slip them into the workers’ drink when they went on patrol. He had even come up with the best time to do so. He told Chen Ge that they could do that when the workers went on their last patrol.

“I don’t think we should experiment on live humans.” Chen Ge denied it firmly. If there was a real problem, the hospital would immediately link it back to him.

“They have already experimented on you but you are still so considerate towards them? Are you a saint?” Zuo Han grumbled.

“I believe someone has told me that before.” Chen Ge chuckled weakly. “I can’t help it, I guess I do not have a hardened heart.”

“It is definitely not a poison, the hospital wasted so much effort to cure you so they will not prescribe you poison, we are merely trying to analyse the drug through their symptoms.” Zuo Han was a doctor so he was good at this thing. “If you think that is not safe, then we can try on another patient.” Zuo Han was unable to convince Chen Ge, so in the end, they still experimented on bugs. Once the bugs that came in contact with the black pill’s dust became strangely agitated and even attacked other bugs. One of them directly tore into other bugs.

“The white pills are to numb the senses and the pills with the black line has the exact opposite effect.” Chen Ge looked at the dead bodies of the bugs and his eyes slowly moved to the straps. He seemed to be reminded of something and turned to look at the tray on the bedside table. “Zuo Han, before this, when Xu Wan came to send us food, she would bring the tray away with her when she left, right?”

“Yes, she would sit and watch until you finish your food and then take them away, I suspect the nurse has some interest in you.”

“but why didn’t they take away the tray this time?” Chen Ge took up the sharp metallic fork on the tray. “Plus I remember they will not give patients any forks or even chopsticks in fear of them hurting themselves. Normally they give normal utensils.”

Zuo Han also caught up to his thought. He looked at Chen Ge who was holding the metallic fork and then shuddered. “I know… the hospital wants you to personally kill me!”

When he said that, the room became instantly quiet. They had been living together for days, Zuo Han had gotten familiar with Chen Ge. Both parties had become the other’s support in some way. But while everything was looking up, the hospital exposed its evil plan. They had given Chen Ge the seed of hope and then they pushed him to snuff it out himself and pushed him step by step to become the person that he hated.

Perhaps from the moment Zuo Han moved into this room, the meaning of this young man’s existence had been decided.
