CHAPTER 344: CHAPTER 344: MENTAL ILLNESS IS NO EXCUSE FOR ESCAPING RESPONSIBILITY

"Bastard! This person is worse than a beast! How dare he run to the obstetrics department to commit a crime!"

Lin Mu cried out in anger upon hearing this.

She couldn’t imagine what the poor woman would have faced if her daughters hadn’t gone over.

Lin Fu frowned and said, "What did the hospital say? They’re also responsible. How could a living, breathing lunatic get into the ward area without anyone noticing?"

Fan Lalan also chimed in, "Yeah, the hospital definitely has responsibility. Regardless of whether they noticed, if it happened in the hospital, they’re definitely responsible!

Where were that woman’s family members? Why weren’t they there?"

"One went to get the baby vaccinated, and the other was called away by a doctor."

Lin Xiaoyan shook her head. She didn’t mention that in the visions she "saw" earlier, Zhang Qian’s situation was dire.

When her husband and mother-in-law rushed back, Zhang Qian was being dragged to the ground by that man.

Zhang Qian hemorrhaged directly and, when pushed into the operating room, she lost her will to survive due to the assault, leading to a failed resuscitation...

This kind of thing sounds outrageous, but it just happened like that.

Lin Xiaoyan and the others didn’t inquire about Zhang Qian’s family’s developments afterward.

However, the next day, Li Zhi and his mother brought many gifts over.

They repeatedly thanked Nan Xi and Lin Xiaoyan, even bursting into tears.

Lin Fu and Lin Mu comforted them, saying it was good that no one was hurt.

As for the man and the hospital’s handling, the Lin Family didn’t ask, as it was someone else’s private matter.

The day after Fan Lalan was discharged from the hospital, a news story broke online.

[A man broke into the obstetrics department of a certain hospital, sneaked into the wards of women who had just given birth, intending to assault them while their family members were away...]

The news exposed CCTV footage of the man entering the hospital, taking the elevator, and peeking into one ward after another in the obstetrics department corridor.

When this news came out, everyone was incredulous.

Netizens furiously commented:

"I can’t believe what I’m reading!!!"

"Am I still asleep? I can’t believe... I actually saw news like this!"

"This man... is a pervert, right?"

"There’s no escaping it for the pervert, it’s true insanity! I just want to know if such a person will be severely punished!"

"Oh My God, luckily someone discovered and rushed in in time, otherwise I can’t imagine what that woman would have gone through..."

"A woman who just gave birth!!! My God, this man must be sentenced to death! So he won’t harm others in the future!"

"Difficult! First, he didn’t succeed. Second, he has mental illness."

"I suggest the country revise laws concerning crimes by mentally ill people, as some deliberately harm others by taking advantage of their mental illness!"

"There is a mentally ill person in our village, completely rotten! He always does bad things, and the police can’t do anything, sending him to a mental hospital, only for him to be released after a while. If you beat him up, the person who beats him gets arrested. Isn’t that infuriating?"

"I feel these people have self-awareness. They surely know what they should and shouldn’t do, but they rely on their mental illness to indulge in wrongdoing!"

"I wonder what the hospital has to say!"

"The hospital? Hahahaha, the hospital certainly can’t escape responsibility!"

...

Lin Xiaoyan wasn’t clear about or following the subsequent developments.

Right now, she’s busy touring around the area.

The task assigned to her by the bureau, she must carry out!

In the morning, the bureau called her, saying the car application was approved, and she should come over to pick it up.

Lin Xiaoyan reluctantly hugged her soft, lovely, still emitting the fragrance of milk little nephew, then looked at her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, I have to return to Sea City, I’ll come back when you have your one-month celebration."

Fan Lalan thought it was about the shop, her husband having returned, couldn’t go to Sea City, so her sister-in-law had to go back to watch the shop.

For a moment, Fan Lalan felt quite embarrassed, but she couldn’t bear to let her husband leave.

"Alright, Yanyan, be careful on the road, and thank you."

Lin Xiaoyan looked at her little nephew, "An’an, Auntie has to go, I’ll buy you fun toys when I come back, okay?"

Fan Lalan, seeing her sister-in-law so fond of her son, beamed, laughing, "No need to buy, he can’t talk, can’t sit, doesn’t understand anything, he wouldn’t play with them if you did."

Lin Xiaoyan placed An’an on the bed, "I’ll buy it! I definitely need to buy it, so when our An’an knows how to play, he can play."

"Xiao Yan, we should go now."

Nan Xi stood at the door and gently said.

Lin Xiaoyan reluctantly glanced at her little nephew and said to her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, I’m leaving."

Fan Lalan also nodded reluctantly, "Okay, be safe on the road, let us know when you arrive."

"Mm"

Lin Xiaoyan left with Nan Xi, her father driving them to the airport.

"Dad, when An’an turns one month old, we’ll try to come back."

Lin Xiaoyan wasn’t sure if she could return by then.

According to the plan, she would leave from Sea City, but she was not certain how long she would have to stay in each city.

Lin Fu: "Your work is important, An’an here, you can come back whenever, he’s your nephew, he won’t run away."

Lin Xiaoyan smiled, "Alright."

Back in Sea City, Lin Xiaoyan returned home, while Nan Xi went to the Special Investigation Bureau to pick up a car.

After Lin Xiaoyan finished her shower, she heard the doorbell ring.

She curiously walked towards the door. Nan Xi should have just arrived at the bureau, did she forget something?

She walked to the door and checked the peephole; it was He Qi’an.

She opened the door, slightly surprised to see He Qi’an, "You don’t have work today?"

He Qi’an looked at Lin Xiaoyan, whose hair was dripping wet, and slightly frowned, pulling her inside.

"Mm, it’s the weekend, I’m off. Why didn’t you tell me you were back? I could have picked you up."

If he hadn’t asked Brother Hao, he wouldn’t have known his girlfriend was back in Sea City.

Lin Xiaoyan: "I thought you’d be busy at work, we could just take a cab back."

He Qi’an had Lin Xiaoyan sit down and asked, "Where’s the hairdryer?"

"It’s in the cabinet in the bathroom."

He Qi’an took out the hairdryer to dry Lin Xiaoyan’s hair.

Lin Xiaoyan sat there, enjoying the treatment of having her boyfriend dry her hair.

After her hair was dry, He Qi’an cleaned up the hair on the floor and put the hairdryer back in place.

Lin Xiaoyan patted her smooth hair, complimenting, "Nicely done, just as good as in the salon!"

He Qi’an chuckled, "Is it? Then I’ll do it for you more often, and when we get married, I’ll dry your hair every day."

Lin Xiaoyan: "Every day? I don’t wash my hair every day!"

He Qi’an heard this and shook his head with a smile — is this what they call a straightforward girl?

"What’s up?"

Lin Xiaoyan saw He Qi’an with a funny smile and raised an eyebrow as she asked.

He Qi’an gently embraced Lin Xiaoyan, resting his forehead against hers, and softly said, "Nothing, anything you say is right."

Then, he gently kissed her.
