Chapter 12 Chu Mian
Chapter 12 Chu Mian
In order to get medical treatment for his daughter, Xia Jun adopted a very humble attitude. When questioned by Chu Mian, he quickly replied, "Of course I know Dr. Chu's rules. Xia Xue is really my daughter. She is my biological daughter who was separated from me at birth and has been living outside for eighteen years."
As he spoke, he took out a thick stack of documents from the folder and placed them on the table.
Chu Mian was stunned after hearing Xia Jun's words.
"You mean, she and Yao Yao were switched at birth?"
This is the child of Jiangcheng's richest man, how could they have been switched at birth?
Xia Jun's tone was full of helplessness: "Who can argue with that?"
Before this, he had never imagined that Yao Yao was not his biological daughter.
Xia Jun sighed and said, "It was all an accident."
Chu Mian quickly skimmed through the materials and understood the reason.
The two couples had similar names.
The children of the two couples were born on the same day.
The crib was right next to it.
The newly hired nurse was careless and mixed them up.
"What a coincidence! It's too much of a coincidence, like it was all meticulously planned."
After reading it, Chu Mian subconsciously sighed.
What was said unintentionally was taken seriously by the listener.
A glint of light flashed in Xia Jun's eyes.
Could it be…?
No, I need to go back and investigate this thoroughly.
However, eighteen years have passed, and I'm afraid...
It would be very difficult to find out.
"If it was designed, who would it be?"
It shouldn't be Xia Yun and his wife.
It's not that I look down on them, but even if they had the desire, they wouldn't have the guts.
Chu Mian only began treating patients after confirming that Xia Xue's identity was correct.
What are Xia Xue's symptoms?
Now that he was there, Xia Jun was naturally well-prepared.
"This is Xiaoxue's previous medical record."
"These are images and videos of Xiaoxue from three months ago and now."
"This is Dr. Xie Yanqing's diagnosis report from yesterday."
Finally, a hint of hatred flashed in Xia Jun's eyes.
"This is Xia Xue's diary."
Lin Mian first looked at the medical records.
Severe depression.
What might be troublesome for others is a piece of cake for her.
After watching those two video clips, I immediately realized how complex the problem was.
The difference before and after is huge.
They're practically two different people.
Could it be a split personality?
Diagnosis report.
"I am in very good health."
She had naturally heard of Dr. Xie Yanqing.
A renowned doctor in Jiangcheng.
His diagnosis was quite authoritative.
"strangeness."
Even if it's a split personality, the changes shouldn't be this drastic.
"Personality is changeable, but the body is hard to change."
Chu Mian picked up the last entry in the diary and began to read it carefully.
After reading it, Chu Mian made her own judgment.
"Xia Xue's original personality should have disappeared. Her current personality is a personality that her body had to develop in order to save itself. This is not unprecedented in the history of psychology."
Upon hearing the diagnosis, Xia Jun was puzzled: "So, Xia Xue doesn't have a split personality?"
Chu Mian shook her head: "Dissociative identity disorder wouldn't be so stable. The two personalities would alternate. Even if the first personality didn't want to appear, the body's mechanisms would force it to. Moreover, the split personalities mostly have violent tendencies and act more extreme. Looking at your daughter's information, there hasn't been a single violent incident in the past three months, especially considering that she lived in that family where the original personality was so repressed for three months. The fact that she didn't show any violent tendencies under such extreme circumstances is enough to explain the problem. Therefore, my diagnosis is that your daughter doesn't have dissociative identity disorder, but rather personality awakening."
Xia Jun couldn't understand.
"Personality awakening? What's the difference between this and dissociative identity disorder? What negative effects does it have on children?"
Chu Mian patiently explained, "Dissociative identity disorder is when a body has multiple personalities vying for control of the body. Personality awakening, on the other hand, occurs when a personality is annihilated, and the body, in order to save itself, develops another completely new personality to ensure that it can get out of its predicament and continue to survive in this difficult world."
Xia Jun frowned as he listened.
"A tough world? Survival?"
What is all this about?
How did this world become so difficult that even survival itself is impossible?
Chu Mian understood Xia Jun's confusion and sighed, "For most people, the environment in our Dragon Kingdom is very safe. Although there are some unpleasant things in life, it is far from the point where they cannot survive. However, for those children who grow up in special circumstances, this world is hell for them. In order to survive, they have to do everything they can and make all sorts of changes. These changes can help them survive, but we have given them a rational to heartless name: mental illness."
Chu Mian calmed herself down and continued, "Personality awakening is the body's last attempt to save itself in the most extreme circumstances. Because the success rate is extremely low, and even after success, the body's condition is very poor and the environment is extremely bad, the probability of survival is extremely low. Therefore, we rarely encounter patients with personality awakening. Currently, there are only three confirmed cases in the world. If nothing unexpected happens, your daughter should be the fourth."
Xia Jun was speechless upon hearing this.
There are only four cases in the entire world?
Xia Xue's situation is truly unique.
"What are the aftereffects of personality awakening? What should we be aware of?"
Chu Mian professionally advised, "You'd better not treat her like a patient, and don't look at her with strange eyes. Just treat her like an ordinary person. Personality awakening is very stable, and violence is generally not expected. Oh, by the way, she might become very intelligent, her abilities might become very strong, and she might even master some knowledge she's never encountered before, possessing some seemingly innate abilities. If you discover this, don't panic, and don't delve into it too much; these are all normal phenomena."
Xia Jun was completely stunned when he heard this.
Self-taught?
It sounds so fantastical.
Moreover, this illness seems to have no harmful side effects, but rather to be beneficial.
"Of course, there are downsides too. Such patients are usually very indifferent. They have a natural wariness of the world and find it difficult to open up to others. As parents, you may find it difficult to receive the heartfelt respect and love that a normal daughter would have for you."
Xia Jun was well prepared for this.
Even without this disease.
A mentally normal 18-year-old daughter whom I have just reunited with.
It's also very difficult to win her heart.
It's impossible to have the same heartfelt respect and love for them as one would for a daughter raised from childhood.
Xia Jun sighed.
"That's not exactly bad news."
Chu Mian seemed to have thought of something and said, "How about this, I'll observe you for a while longer before giving you a more accurate diagnosis?"
Xia Jun quickly thanked him, saying, "Thank you so much, Dr. Chu."
Chu Mian smiled and replied, "It's what I should do."
She had only ever read about cases of personality awakening in books before.
Now, she actually has a real-life case study to examine.
I have material for my new paper.
