At the mental hospital, Li Huazhen walked out of the ward again to observe where there was an exit.

She saw Dr. Liu walking over from afar while on the phone. She knew that Dr. Liu would check on her later. She suddenly had an idea.

Li Huazhen returned to the ward and sat on the bed in a daze while waiting for Dr. Liu to arrive.

‘A few minutes later, Doctor Liu came in as expected. When he saw Li Huazhen playing with her fingers on the bed, he casually placed the phone in his hand on the table and took out a pen from his pocket while writing.

“Li Huazhen, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere today?”

Li Huazhen looked at him in a daze and chuckled foolishly. She saw the warm water bottle on the table and got up to get some water.

Dr. Liu asked gently, “Do you want to drink water? Be careful it’s hot.”

“It’s not hot.” Li Huazhen continued to giggle. She stuck her finger into the glass and showed it to the doctor.

“It’s not hot. It’s warm. Try it if you don’t believe me.”

When Doctor Liu saw that Li Huazhen had finally answered normally, he was a little relieved. He lowered his head and scribbled on the medical record.

Li Huazhen suddenly reached out her hands and splashed a glass of warm water at Doctor Liu. The medical record in Doctor Liu’s hand and the white coat on his body were instantly wet.

“Hey! You…”

“Look, the water really isn’t hot.”

Doctor Liu was enraged. Just as he was about to flare up, he looked up and met Li Huazhen’s blank face. He calmed down. She was just a mental patient who knew nothing. She only knew how to stare blankly and smile foolishly. Why was he fussing with her?

Doctor Liu shook the water off his notebook and glared at Li Huazhen.

“I’m going back to the office to change. Stay here obediently and don’t move around.”

Doctor Liu did not notice that his phone was still on the table. When he walked out of the office, Li Huazhen strode over and took the phone. She hid it from sight and quickly dialed a string of numbers.

“Hello, is this Dakui? I’m Huazhen…”

While paying attention to the movements outside the door, Li Huazhen quickly told Xu Dakui about her recent encounter and current situation.

Hearing footsteps outside the door, she quickly hung up and deleted the call records before putting the phone back on the table.

Doctor Liu had already changed into a new set of clothes. When he saw that Li Huazhen was still smiling foolishly, he thought of how she had splashed water on him just now and was in a bad mood. He used a simple instrument to check her heartbeat. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with her, he

wrote “Nothing wrong.”

At this moment, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

Li Huazhen’s heart stopped for a moment—could it be that Xu Dakui didn’t hear clearly and called to ask?

She looked at the phone in Dr. Liu’s hand apprehensively. Her mind raced as she thought about how to cover for herself later.

Unexpectedly, Director Liu looked at the caller ID and casually picked up the call. He answered the phone as he walked out.

Li Huazhen heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Doctor Liu was no longer coming back, Li Huazhen left the ward again to find a place to leave from.

The weather was cold today, and many people were unwilling to come out of the ward. Even the medical staff were rarely seen. Li Huazhen walked around alone without attracting much attention.

That night, Xu Dakui entered the mental hospital under the pretext of “visiting”. He found the room number Li Huazhen told him and knocked on the door when he saw that no one was paying attention.

He knocked rhythmically. He knocked three times first, then paused for a second, then knocked again, then paused for a second, then twice..
