HBWMA -Chapter 190 I Have Medicine—Which One Do You Want?

About an hour later, Jiang Huashan walked out of the psychology building carrying a pile of medicine.

Su Miao was squatting by the flower bed, idly pulling the grass until it was almost bald. When she finally spotted Jiang Huashan from a distance, she rushed over immediately.

“Why did you take so long?”

Jiang Huashan paused. “Why are you still here?”

In her plan, Su Miao shouldn’t have existed at this moment.

Su Miao replied irritably, “Did you not notice it’s almost dark? Since we came out together, I had no reason to leave you behind.”

Jiang Huashan couldn’t help but look at her in a new light. In her memory, the Su Miao of two years later would be someone willing to betray even friends just to survive. She hadn’t expected that right now, she still had this kind of conscience.

“What are you staring at? You were in there so long—did you go buy medicine? Are you injured?”

Jiang Huashan immediately hid the medicine behind her back, alert. “What? No good deed goes unpunished. What are you plotting?”

Su Miao’s face darkened instantly. “Who could possibly out-plot you?”

Jiang Huashan clutched her bag of medicine. “Let’s go. It’s late. No point going back to school anymore. We’ll each go home.”

Originally, Su Miao had planned to leave with her, but now that her goodwill had been mistaken for malice, she got angry and turned to leave.

“Fine. I don’t care about you.”

But halfway there, she suddenly remembered something, closed her eyes in despair, and turned back again.

“What now?” Jiang Huashan asked.

“Lend me some money. I don’t have enough for a taxi.”

“……”

Jiang Huashan frowned and sized her up.

Su Miao forced down her temper. “I’ll pay you back double.”

Jiang Huashan thought for a moment, then transferred her money.

When Su Miao saw the amount on her phone, her expression changed instantly. “Ten yuan?!”

Jiang Huashan patted her shoulder. “Take the subway. Consider it an early adaptation to life as a fake rich girl.”

Su Miao: “……”

Psychology Clinic, Third Floor

Doctor Xiao Zhi stared at the perfect score exam paper in front of him, his hand trembling so badly he could barely hold his teacup.

It had been years! Another perfect-score psychopath had appeared—and this was severe among severe cases.

Restless and uneasy, he finally rushed out of the consultation room.

“Xiao Zhang, I’ll handle the call with the Su family myself.”

The nurse had already dialed the number and quickly handed the phone over.

Doctor Xiao cleared his throat, adopting a professional tone.

“Hello, Mr. Su. I’m Xiao Zhi, senior psychologist at Whale Harmony Clinic. Miss Su came in for consultation today, and the situation is not optimistic. Frankly speaking, her condition is not suitable for home treatment. I strongly recommend hospitalization for structured care and early intervention to prevent possible episodes that could endanger family members.”

“Eh!” The nurse looked stunned. She hadn’t even confirmed the patient’s identity yet.

But Xiao Zhi continued without hesitation.

“I can assure you, based on ten years of experience, my diagnosis is absolutely correct. Miss Su’s condition is dangerous. If not treated soon, it may be too late.”

On the Subway

“Damn Jiang Huashan!”

Su Miao had never been exposed to public transportation like the subway before. Just figuring out the route and how to exchange coins had already taken her half an hour.

Still, she eventually managed to get on.

Once inside, she sat down with a look of disgust mixed with curiosity.

So this was the so-called “commoner transport”?

She glanced around cautiously. When she saw no one paying attention, she secretly took a selfie and posted it online.

Caption: “Commoner transport—subway—check-in complete!”

Just after posting, her phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, her expression changed slightly.

Her grandfather must already know she skipped school. She absolutely couldn’t admit to the hospital visit—she’d just say she went out with Jiang Huashan.

She answered.

“Grandpa.”

“Where are you?” the old man asked.

“I’m out… having fun.”

His tone sharpened. “Where exactly? Say it clearly.”

At that moment, the subway announcement suddenly rang out:

“Ding dong—Next stop, North Ring Station. Please mind the gap when boarding and alighting…”

Su Miao froze.

Her phone nearly flew out of her hand.

“…Are you on the subway?” her grandfather asked immediately.

She forced a laugh. “Yeah… I just suddenly wanted to experience what taking the subway feels like.”

Her grandfather’s eyelid twitched. Was she actually sick?

“Get off at the next stop immediately. I’ll send the steward to pick you up.”

Relieved, Su Miao quickly agreed.

By the River

After leaving the hospital, Jiang Huashan took a taxi. As the car passed the ring road, she saw that familiar broken figure again.

After a moment of hesitation, she asked the driver to stop early and walked toward the bridge with a plastic bag in hand.

Under the elevated road lay the South Bay River of Whale Harbor. In spring and autumn, the water would rise and flood the embankment. Locals often came here for evening walks.

The sky was dimming. Neon lights along both banks formed a river of stars.

Shen Mianzhi sat alone by the river, staring blankly at the calm water.

Beside her were half a sausage and half a piece of bread. Three stray cats had already stopped eating and were curled against her legs, dozing.

She looked at the scene before her, a wave of helplessness washing over her.

She had blacked out again. She had no memory of how she got here—or how she fed the cats.

The cats were attached to her, even licking her palm affectionately, yet she felt unfamiliar with everything.

And worse, she could feel these blackouts were lasting longer and longer.

“Buzz—buzz—”

Her phone vibrated repeatedly on the grass. The screen lit and dimmed, again and again.

Fifty missed calls labeled “Dad” had become fifty-one.

Shame and the urge to escape pressed down on her until she could barely breathe.

She flipped the phone over, stood up slowly, and seemed to finally make up her mind.

Step by step, she walked toward the cold water.

This time, she intended to face the abyss directly.

She closed her eyes.

The icy river water reached her shoes.

So cold.

She lifted her foot, ready to go deeper—

Suddenly, someone grabbed her wrist.

“Risperidone… or Blonanserin. Which one do you want?”
