Gao Wen was shocked. She immediately lowered her head and said, “Please help me, Master. Help my daughter out of her misery.”
The elderly woman raised her hand and gently said, “Tell me about your situation.”
Gao Wen told the elderly woman everything about Ye Xin from the beginning to the end. Finally, she said, “My daughter has been locked up in the mental hospital since then. I haven’t seen her in a few months. I don’t know what her situation is like. Although my daughter is a little arrogant, she would never commit homicide. After listening to Liang Zhou, I realized something was wrong. It’s my fault for being ignorant and causing my daughter to suffer. Master, please help me.”
As Gao Wen spoke, she kowtowed heavily on the ground.
The elderly woman nodded slightly.
Then, the young man next to the elderly woman stepped forward and handed a pen and a piece of paper to Gao Wen. “Write down your daughter’s name and her birthdate.”
“Okay.” Gao Wen took the items with both hands and wrote down Ye Xin’s birthdate and name with a devout expression on her face.
After Gao Wen was done, the young woman handed the piece of paper to the elderly woman.
It was so silent at this moment that one could hear a needle drop.
The elderly woman took a look at the paper before she closed her eyes.
Gao Wen saw Liang Zhou clasped her hands together with her gaze lowered as she kneeled, she could not help the hope that blossomed in her heart. She stared unblinkingly at the elderly woman who seemed to be in a meditative state, afraid she would miss out on the slightest detail.
After a while, the elderly woman slowly opened her eyes. Her expression was gentle as she nodded at Gao Wen. “Your daughter isn’t in a mental hospital.”
Gao Wen was stunned and confused by these words.
The elderly woman looked at Gao Wen and said, “I see your daughter is living very well now. She lives in a nice house and isn’t suffering in a mental hospital. Are you mistaken?”
Gao Wen looked at Liang Zhou as though Liang Zhou had deceived her.
Liang Zhou hastily said, “Master, Ye Xin was personally sent to the hospital by her brother. This matter has even been reported in the media.”
Gao Wen nodded to confirm Liang Zhou’s words.
The elderly woman sighed as she shook her head. “I only told you what I saw. If you don’t believe me, you might as well go and verify it yourself. Once you get a clear picture, you can look for me again.”
Liang Zhou asked Gao Wen, “Is it possible that Ye Cheng has secretly brought his sister out and didn’t tell you in fear of the news leaking to the media?”
Gao Wen felt slightly suspicious. However, Ye Cheng knew how much she loved Ye Xin. Moreover, she had blamed him a lot for this matter. If he really brought Ye Xin out, there was no reason for him not to tell her. However, the master had spoken with such certainty that she could not help but be swayed. She wondered if it had anything to do with Ye He.
Liang Zhou nudged her.
Gao Wen said hesitantly, “Then, why don’t we go to the hospital to have a look?”
The elderly woman nodded. “Go. You’ll know what to do next after you have a look.” Then, she looked at the young woman next to her and said, “There’s no charge this time since she hasn’t thought about what she wants to do.”
“Yes, Master.” The young woman nodded before saying to Liang Zhou and Gao Wen, “Please leave. If you need anything, you can come again next time.”
Liang Zhou pulled Gao Wen to her feet before she bowed at the elderly woman with an embarrassed expression on her face, “Sorry to have bothered you, Master.”
When they left the courtyard, the sun shone down on them again.
Gao Wen felt as though a lifetime had passed since she first arrived. She could not help but turn back to look at that small courtyard. It seemed like a place out of time.
“Gao Wen, are you mistaken? How could you not know where your daughter is?” Liang Zhou asked with a hint of blame..
