Chapter 55: I’m Really Scared

Upon hearing Song Qingtian’s words, Gu Yiran was slightly taken aback. However, he quickly recalled that schizoaffective disorder often leads to the development of split personalities. Still, based on his preliminary assessment, he didn’t think Song Qingtian’s condition was quite so severe.

But if, as she claimed, she truly felt like she wasn’t herself anymore, then the situation would indeed be rather serious.

Thinking this, Gu Yiran couldn’t help but adopt a more solemn expression.

“Miss Song, could you please tell me in more detail?”

Song Qingtian looked Gu Yiran over carefully, then thought to herself: given how bizarre her experience of “transferring” into another novel seemed, no one would likely believe her story—at best, they’d assume she’d lost her mind.

Or perhaps it was simply a case of personality split—but right now, the last thing she feared was being labeled insane.

In fact, the very best outcome would be for Ling Hanyu to decide she was crazy and immediately divorce her, after which she could ascend to the pinnacle of success.

So Song Qingtian decided to confide in Gu Yiran as the only person she’d ever truly been able to speak honestly with since her “transfer,” and began to recount her tale at a leisurely pace.

“Didn’t I just tell you that I suddenly fainted last time and had a dream? Actually, that was a lie. It wasn’t a dream at all—I suddenly developed an extraordinary ability: I can predict the future.”

Song Qingtian wore a somewhat self-assured, almost mystical smile. “You know what ‘predicting the future’ means, right?”

Gu Yiran had encountered cases of personality split before, but this was the first time he’d heard someone claim they could actually foresee the future. Even so, under these circumstances, he could only ask with an expression of genuine curiosity.

“So Miss Song, when you said earlier that Mr. Ling was going to kill you—that was also something you predicted, wasn’t it?”

“Haha, Dr. Gu, you’re so clever! Yes, exactly—it was my prediction. I foresaw that he didn’t like me; he even had his own ‘moonlight’—his ideal romantic partner. To be with her, he would go so far as to try to kill me.

And I could clearly see my future: Ling Hanyu would constantly treat me with cold indifference and emotional abuse, pushing me toward divorce. But I refused—he was the one I loved, deeply, deeply, to the point of humbling myself completely.

Yet despite all that, he remained determined to be with his ‘moonlight.’ Eventually, I slipped him some poison, and soon after, I became pregnant—with twins, no less. I assumed Ling Hanyu would be overjoyed, so I told him the news.

But that dog of a man ordered me to have the babies aborted! When I refused, I ran away—and on the way, I was involved in a car accident and fell into a vegetative state. However, Ling Hanyu’s ‘moonlight’ wasn’t reassured; fearing I might recover, she bribed the doctors to deliberately harm me, ultimately causing my death.”

Song Qingtian had originally intended to show Gu Yiran just how truly mad she was, because no one could possibly predict their own future—even in dreams, such vivid details were unheard of.

But as she spoke these words, her emotions suddenly overwhelmed her.

Song Qingtian burst into tears, her lips trembling uncontrollably, looking at Gu Yiran like someone drowning.

“Dr. Gu, do you understand? That feeling… I don’t dare to be with Ling Hanyu anymore. I’m scared—truly scared. I’m afraid I’ll die, especially when he sometimes tries to get intimate with me. I worry I might get pregnant, and if I do, they’ll surely kill me!

I’m still so young—I don’t want to die, and I certainly don’t want to end up in a vegetative state. Dr. Gu, please save me! I may be a bit naive and overly dramatic, but other than that, I’ve never done anything truly wicked or immoral. Dr. Gu, I’m begging you—please save me!”

In truth, Gu Yiran had still harbored some doubts, because everyone in their circle knew that Song Qingtian’s love for Ling Hanyu was utterly selfless—so selfless, in fact, that she’d even abandoned her own father and the entire Song Family.
