Sweet Twins

Chapter 623 Illusion

As soon as Nancy finished speaking, Nana suddenly grabbed a pillow and threw it at her. "All of you get out of here! I don't want to see you again. Why are there so many people, so many people…"

Rick quickly stood in front of Nancy to protect her. "Nancy, most people with mental illness will have hallucinations. Nana is currently in her own world, and she sees people chasing her. These illusions trigger her self-abusive and oppressive tendencies to protect herself."

"Well, what should we do?" Nancy did not know much about mental illnesses. As she looked at Nana's ferocious face, she felt sorry and anxious.

"What should I do?" She tried to calm herself down.

"Try to talk to her. Even if she won't listen to anyone, she is still conscious. Just be careful, because in her mind, everyone is an enemy! Including her family!" Rick explained.

"Okay." Nancy switched places with Rick to face Nana.

"I told you to get out of here. Didn't you hear me? Damn it! I don't want to stay here. I want to leave! I want to leave…" Nana shouted, yet she stayed in her place. Suddenly, she began to take her clothes off.

"Nancy, stripping is also common in patients suffering from psychological disorders. She can't control her movements, and she is unaware of her actions right now. Many patients don't remember what they did after they wake up," Rick added.

"I see." Nana had taken off her coat as Nancy slowly walked over.

She was wearing nothing but her black underpants stained with blood. If she took it off, there would be nothing left to cover her privates.

Nancy grabbed Nana's hand to prevent her from revealing her genitals, but she shook it off a second later. "Get out of my way, you devil!"

"Nana, I'm not your enemy. Look, it's me, Nancy. You saved me. Don't you recognize me?" she said with a gentle smile.

"Humph! Nancy? Who the hell is Nancy? I don't know you. I'm warning you, don't pretend to be a good person so you can approach me. I know you wanted to kill me. You won't succeed. I won't let it happen!" Nana glared at her and pushed her away. Then, she jumped off the bed.

"Nancy, Nana is planning to jump off the building." Rick suddenly rushed over in surprise.

Nana stood on the windowsill while looking down at Nancy and Rick complacently. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

"I'm going to jump down from here, so I could fly to a place far away from you. You can never find me. There are blue skies, white clouds, clear water, children's laughter, and a man called Theo Leng. Theo, I'm coming." Her eyes were no longer as ferocious as before. Instead, they were full of yearning.

"Nana, don't be silly. If you jump, you will never find Theo. You will die and make him sad. He must be the man who loves you the most, right? Do you want to make him sad?" Rick was more experienced than Nancy in comforting mentally ill patients.

Since Nana mentioned Theo Leng, he must be the one she cared about the most.

Only the person whom she loved could stop her from hurting herself!

Sure enough, Nana lowered her head in pain. "I don't want Theo to be sad, not at all. But he abandoned me for another woman. I'm very sad. Theo, do you know how sad I am?"

Tears streamed down her cheeks.

Her mood changed so fast that Nancy could not keep up with her rollercoaster of emotions.

"Nana, Theo didn't desert you. Why would he do that if he loves you the most? He just couldn't find you. Let's call him now, okay?" Nancy tried to appease Nana as Rick did.

"I don't know where he is. Who can tell me where he is? I dream of him every day. I miss him very much. Where on earth has he gone?" Nana cried out in pain. She suddenly held her head and pounded it violently.

At the same time, Rick bolted up and took Nana away from the window.

Then Nana suddenly realized that she was fooled, and bit Rick's wrist.

"Ah!" Rick groaned in pain.

"Nana, let him go!" Nancy was so agitated that she did not know what to do. She tried her best to tear Nana and Rick apart, but Nana's teeth were tightly planted on his arm. She showed no intention of letting go.

"Help! Help!" Nancy cried.

She noticed that Rick's arm was already bleeding. Nana must have bitten into his flesh.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have bled this much.

The medical staff rushed over when they heard Nancy's voice.

Seeing what was happening, they all ran up and forcefully pulled Nana away.

"No! Let me go!" Nana shouted in an outrage. Everyone froze in shock when they saw a piece of bloody meat in her mouth.

There was no doubt the flesh was Rick's.

All of a sudden, Nancy looked at Rick, only to see him clutching his arm, and sweating profusely.

"Rick!" she shouted in horror.

"Don't worry about me. Give Nana a sedative. Hurry!" Whenever a mental patient had an attack, the most effective way was to use a sedative, which would help her calm down immediately. If not, she would end up hurting herself, and the consequences of self-injury would be devastating. Some patients would bite their bodies viciously, and some would bang their heads against the wall. Over the years, Rick had witnessed all kinds of self-harm.

Some staff held down Nana while another nurse gave her a sedative.

After a few minutes of struggling, Nana quietly leaned against the nurse. They quickly carried her to the bed while Nancy tucked her in.

"When will she wake up?" asked Nancy.

"It will only take three to four hours. Don't worry, she won't wake up soon," Rick replied.

"What should we do if she wakes up and starts causing trouble again?" Nancy asked again.

"I'll prescribe some medicine for her and ask the nurse to put her on a drip. Her symptoms should subside." Rick handed a prescription to the nurse.

"I'll oversee this." Overwhelmed with tears, Nancy guessed that Nana must be exhausted. It was said that psychiatric patients had tremendous strength, but in reality, they were just overexerting their bodies.

Looking at Nana's tired and pale face, Nancy felt sorry for her.

"Director Nancy, don't you trust me?" the nurse bantered.

"No... It's just that Nana's condition is volatile, and I am worried..." She was trying to say something, but she hesitated to finish her sentence.

The nurse in charge of distributing the medicine for Nana interrupted Nancy, "I understand your concern, Director Nancy. Let's go together if you're that worried."

The nurse also felt odd. The medicine should have some effect on Nana after she took it, but now it seemed that it didn't work at all. Instead, her condition became even worse.
