The Hellborn Heiress​ - chapter 28

In an instant, Chi Che felt all the hairs on his body stand on end.

Although in the psychiatric hospital, he often encountered patients who talked to themselves and claimed to see ghosts and monsters, Jiang Ci was the first patient whose words truly made his skin crawl.

Chi Che was genuinely frightened by her, but he forced himself to continue the conversation: “Oh, I see. Did she say anything else? Did she hurt you?”

Jiang Ci replied calmly, “She said every night she sleeps with you, holds you, touches you, and kisses you.”

Chi Che forced a smile, “Really?”

“Didn’t you give her your first kiss?”

The moment she said this, Chi Che’s smile froze on his face, and he was completely dumbfounded!

Because only he knew about this.

It was the darkest moment of his life!

He-he had actually had his first kiss stolen by a patient in the bathroom.

That was the main reason why the Strawberry Girl left such a deep impression on him.

“Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!!!” Chi Che felt goosebumps crawling all over his body, and in a panic, he shook himself wildly and shouted, “Tell her to leave! Don’t touch me! Stay away from me-ahhhhhh!”

“Doctor Chi, Doctor Chi, what’s wrong?” The nurses outside heard the commotion and hurriedly came to open the door.

What they saw was the patient sitting calmly in the corner, while Doctor Chi was jumping around like a madman.

The nurses looked at each other: “…”

The patient wasn’t cured, but Doctor Chi had been driven crazy?

Then, under Jiang Ci’s gaze, the frantic Chi Che was dragged away.

As he left, everyone looked at her with wariness in their eyes.

A patient who could drive such an excellent doctor like Chi Che mad-just imagine how much destructive power she must have!

The heavy iron door was locked tightly again.

Jiang Ci closed her eyes and continued to meditate calmly.

She was a normal person to begin with; it was only a matter of time before she left this place.

That night, she slept dreamlessly.

Coincidentally, it was Chi Che’s turn for the night shift.

He sat in the duty room for a long time, trying to calm himself, suppressing the fear in his heart, telling himself that everything Jiang Ci said was fake-there were no ghosts in this world!

As a doctor, he especially shouldn’t believe in such things.

“Bo Hanzhou, you bastard, out of all the psychiatric hospitals in Jiangbei, why did you send her to mine? Scared me to death.”

Chi Che wiped his cold sweat, still feeling uneasy, but his neck and shoulders were aching more and more.

He massaged his shoulders and rotated his neck a few times.

For the past six months, his cervical spondylosis had been tormenting him.

As he considered getting an X-ray tomorrow, he glanced at the monitor showing Jiang Ci.

Jiang Ci was still sitting cross-legged in the corner.

When he came back with a cup of water, she was no longer in the corner.

“Where is she?”

Just as Chi Che was about to adjust the camera angle, Jiang Ci suddenly appeared on the screen.

He jumped in fright.

Jiang Ci looked up at him and said, “I’m hungry. Get me something to eat.”

Chi Che: “…”

He brought her some bread and milk.

Even though Chi Che kept telling himself not to talk to her, not to underestimate her, and not to get caught up in her words, he couldn’t help but ask in a low voice as he watched Jiang Ci earnestly eating her bread, “Is she still here now?”

Without looking up, Jiang Ci said, “She’s been sitting on your shoulders the whole time.”

Chi Che was petrified: “?????”

“Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!!! Ahhhhhhh-”

The next second, he shook his head frantically, flailing his body like he was dancing a laser dance.
“Doctor Chi! Doctor Chi, have you gone crazy again?”

“Somebody, help!”

A repeat performance.

The nurses dragged Chi Che away once more.

When they looked at Jiang Ci, their eyes now held not only wariness, but also a trace of fear.

Jiang Ci, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened. After eating and drinking her fill, she leaned against the wall and fell asleep.

When she opened her eyes again, it was already the next morning.

Chi Che looked like a ghost, hair disheveled, dark circles under his eyes, standing outside the heavy iron door, staring at her through the bars with a resentful gaze.

“Are you really not insane? Did Bo Hanzhou send you here on purpose to torment me?”

Jiang Ci replied calmly, “It’s morning. Shouldn’t you let me out now?”

Chi Che was still muttering resentfully, “Why did you have to scare me? What kind of scheme is Bo Hanzhou up to? Is it because I won a hundred yuan from him in a bet last time? Or because I caught three more fish than him the time before that? Or was it the time before that when I backed into his car and dented the bumper?”

Jiang Ci said, “Bo Hanzhou is neither my relative nor my guardian. He has no right to force me into the hospital. I didn’t come here voluntarily, so open the door.”

Her strength had returned, but she didn’t want to waste it kicking down the door.

Chi Che looked utterly resentful. “Is it fun to scare me?”

Jiang Ci smiled. “Or do you want to see her with your own eyes before you believe what I’m saying?”

Chi Che’s eyes widened in terror. “You-you mean it?!”

“What else?” Jiang Ci kicked the door. “Open up.”

Chi Che had no choice but to open the door for her, dejected.

Even if she hadn’t said anything, the door would have to be opened for her anyway.

Because she really had no guardian, and she wasn’t here of her own free will. The original plan was to observe her for a while, and if her condition was truly severe, then proceed with involuntary hospitalization.

But as things stood, aside from her talk about ghosts, Jiang Ci’s other behavior was normal, and her speech was coherent.

“I’m about to get off work too. Want to leave together?”

No matter what, the fear Jiang Ci had spread to him had to be resolved by her.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare sleep alone at night ever again!

Chi Che thought through gritted teeth, if he really ended up with some psychological trauma, Bo Hanzhou wouldn’t get away unscathed either. He’d go crash at his place every night!

Jiang Ci looked at the timid, nervous Chi Che, then at the Strawberry Girl still sitting on his shoulder. Thinking she could collect some Merit, she agreed readily.

Chi Che suggested they go to his place to settle the matter.

He drove out.

Jiang Ci opened the backseat door.

Chi Che asked in surprise, “Sit in the front. Why are you getting in the back?”

Jiang Ci replied coolly, “The front seat is taken.”

Chi Che glanced at the empty passenger seat and instantly felt a chill run down his spine. His hands and feet trembled as if he had Parkinson’s, and he couldn’t drive for a moment.

“You’re really a coward. Wait till you see her-won’t you be scared to death?” Jiang Ci had no choice but to drag him out and toss him into the back, taking the wheel herself.

“How old are you? You look pretty young. Do you even have a license?” he asked, shivering.

Jiang Ci just smiled and said nothing, then floored the gas pedal.

Back in Hell, she often raced in Iron Tree Hell, where the iron trees were as sharp as blades. She could weave through them without a single leaf touching her.

It was Chi Che’s first time experiencing driving skills on par with Bo Hanzhou’s. What should have been a half-hour drive, she finished in less than ten minutes, pulling up at his door.

“You’re incredible,” Chi Che said, face pale as he got out of the car and immediately started retching.

“Let’s get this over with. I have things to do,” Jiang Ci said briskly as she got out, a Ghost-Seeing Talisman appearing in her hand.
