After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

Upon hearing Gu Tianyou's words, Lu Ning could no longer laugh.

Because he saw that Gu Tianyou's face was pale and his eyes were fixed on the direction of the window.

However, there was nothing at the window.

Lu Ning waved her hand in front of Gu Tianyou.

"Ayou, what are you looking at? What did you see?"

Gu Tianyou still didn't hear Lu Ning's words.

They didn't even see Lu Ning's waving hand.

He was just mechanically repeating the same sentence.

"I am guilty, I deserve to die. I am guilty, I deserve to die!"

Seeing Gu Tianyou's pained expression, Lu Ning realized something was wrong.

He quickly turned on all the lights in the room.

In addition, they also opened all the curtains next to the window.

It was morning, the sun was shining brightly, and the sky was cloudless.

The dazzling sunlight streamed into the room, making Gu Tianyou squint.

He instinctively covered his eyes with his hand.

Lu Ning took the opportunity to slap his face hard.

"Ayou, look who I am!!"

Gu Tianyou frowned, momentarily dazed.

After a long pause, he finally spoke.

"Lu Ning, are you Lu Ning?"

Seeing that Gu Tianyou had finally regained consciousness, Lu Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

He pressed down hard on Gu Tianyou's shoulder.

"Yes, I am Lu Ning, a real person in real life! Remember that!"

Gu Tianyou looked at Lu Ning, his eyes glistening with tears.

"You knew already?"

Lu Ning stood with his hands on his hips, panting heavily.

“I don’t know what happened to you, but I want to tell you that the things that frighten you may not even exist. What truly defeats you is the inner demons within you.”

Gu Tianyou lowered his head.

After a long while, he shook his head again.

"No, he really exists. Just now, he was standing by the window and talking to me."

Lu Ning gasped.

Look towards the window.

He turned to look at Gu Tianyou and asked, "Who did you see? What did they look like? Tell me."

Gu Tianyou hesitated.

He kept his mouth tightly shut and didn't say another word.

Lu Ning was so anxious that she grabbed her hair.

He pointed to the window and said in an extremely suppressed voice, "Ayou, I followed you into this room. There is no one else in this room but you and me. Do you understand what I mean?"

Gu Tianyou fell silent again.

After a while, he shook his head.

"No, he really exists. He stood right in front of me, covered in blood, and he was real."

Lu Ning suddenly grabbed Gu Tianyou's shoulder. "Ayou, who is he? Tell me, maybe I can help you."

Gu Tianyou looked at Lu Ning's worried eyes and opened his mouth.

Lu Ning held her breath, waiting for his answer.

However, after waiting for a long time, Gu Tianyou still didn't utter a single word.

Just when Lu Ning thought that Gu Tianyou wouldn't tell her...

Gu Tianyou suddenly spoke up.

"Haoxuan".

"Haoxuan came back to find me."

Upon hearing this answer, Lu Ning felt a chill run down his spine.

Lu Ning naturally knew who Hao Xuan was.

But he knew even more that Haoxuan was dead.

It's absurd that Gu Tianyou claims he can see him.

Lu Ning is a materialist.

Therefore, he firmly believed that the dead cannot be brought back to life.

Therefore, he deduced that Gu Tianyou was experiencing severe hallucinations.

This hallucination has made Gu Tianyou paranoid.

Lu Ning had to tell Gu Tianyou the truth.

He helped Gu Tianyou up with both hands.

Gu Tianyou was somewhat puzzled by his actions.

"Lu Ning, what are you going to do?"

Lu Ning didn't say anything, but simply helped him walk forward.

When they reached the window, Lu Ning pressed down on Gu Tianyou's shoulder and said, "Ayou, open your eyes wide and look around. Is Haoxuan still here?"

Gu Tianyou really looked around.

There is no such thing as Haoxuan.

Of course not.

Because he was scared away by Lu Ning.

This is Gu Tianyou's true feeling.

Lu Ning knew that it would be very difficult to make Gu Tianyou aware that he was hallucinating.

But no matter how difficult it is, he has to help his friend get through this crisis.

"Lu Ning, stop joking. I'm very tired and want to rest."

"No, answer my question: can you still see this so-called Haoxuan now?"

Annoyed to no end by Lu Ning, Gu Tianyou could only reply, "No, I can't see it anymore, because you scared him!"

Gu Tianyou suddenly became irritable.

Lu Ning knew that she had to make Gu Tianyou face reality.

If he isn't made to face reality, he'll never escape his illusions.

Lu Ning took out her phone and opened her chat history with Gu Tianyou.

A short while later, he showed Gu Tianyou a special chat log.

When Gu Tianyou saw the contents of the chat history on the screen, he felt as if his head had exploded almost instantly.

“Lu Ning, I got drunk last night and had a seizure. I didn’t have time to brake and hit Haoxuan, killing him.”

"Tianyou, this joke is not funny at all. Don't joke about your own son."

"I'm not joking, I'm serious. I ran over Haoxuan and killed him."

"real."

Below the chat log was a photo of Haoxuan lying in the morgue.

Gu Tianyou looked at the chat logs and shook his head violently.

His face turned livid.

His emotions began to run high.

"No, I didn't mean to. Although Haoxuan isn't my biological son, I love him very much. I love him very much!"

Lu Ning looked at Gu Tianyou, who was crying with his head in his hands, opened his arms and hugged him.

"I know you didn't mean it. The reason I wanted to remind you of this painful event is to tell you that Haoxuan is dead, Haoxuan is dead!"

"The Haoxuan you're talking about, who's standing in front of you, is all just a figment of your imagination."

"The truth is, he's long dead. Don't feel guilty about him anymore. It's all in the past."

Gu Tianyou clutched his head and murmured to himself.

"Is Haoxuan really dead?"

Lu Ning nodded seriously.

"Yes, he's dead. His grave is in the East Suburb Cemetery. You can go and see for yourself if you don't believe me."

"Ah-You, you need to see a psychologist. We should take your medication if you need to, okay?"

"Your hallucinations seem to be quite severe."

Gu Tianyou raised his head, looked at Lu Ning, and uttered those two words with difficulty.

"Hallucination?"

Lu Ning patted his shoulder and gave a bitter smile.

"It's just a hallucination, don't be afraid. With professional treatment, your hallucinations will lessen or even disappear."

Gu Tianyou gradually lowered his head.

"If I take the medicine, will I never be able to see Haoxuan again?"

Lu Ning found these words rather strange.

"Ayou, do you really want to see Haoxuan every day? He's a dead man, why would you want to see him every day?"

After saying this, Lu Ning noticed a significant change in Gu Tianyou's eyes.

"Lu Ning, what if I said I wanted to see Haoxuan every day and talk to him?"
