I didn't believe her, obviously she had hit her head before. If she said she didn't feel any pain, was she still a human being? The nurse was lying.My mind was spinning as I thought about the image that had just flashed by."I'm homesick, can you put me in touch with my family?""Your family is busy and doesn't have time to visit you. As soon as you recover, you can go home, so take your medicine and try to get well soon.""Then I'll call them and listen to the sound." I fought hard.But after I said that, she was silent for a long time before she said softly, "Do you really want to cause them trouble? People who are sent here usually don't have good family conditions. Why haven't they contacted you for so long, don't you have a number in your heart? You are a burden to them.Sentence by sentence, sound by sound, all like knives stabbing into my heart. A normal caregiver with professional ethics would never say such words. She was fine just now, why did she suddenly change like a different person?"What is wrong with you? I just want to contact my family, don't I?" I got angry."Heh! Don't be moody, your family doesn't want you to go back at all. Have you forgotten how you got here?" The counselor left and I was lost.How did I get here? Wasn't I sent here by my parents?That day, Mom and Dad brought me to the hospital, and then I was helped into a room to change. I remember seeing through the glass that my parents' faces, full of the vicissitudes of life, were full of tears. ...... No, I was already blind, so how could I see their faces?There was a sudden stabbing pain in my head that hurt my eyes.There was an argument that came and woke me up. I realized that I was back in my parents' rented house and the sound was coming from downstairs. I went to the window and looked out and saw a group of people surrounding my parents."Your child is like this, why still let her run around, she should be sent to the hospital ......" Dad kept apologizing to the crowd and Mom kept wiping her tears.I was anxious to get to them, but as soon as I turned around, the picture changed. Mom and Dad were talking in their room."Got a connection, this hospital covers food and drink plus medicine for three thousand dollars a month."I remembered everything! It makes more sense for you to go out than for me to have nothing. "Xu Lili!" I murmured her name.A bright light shone on me, stabbing me so hard that I couldn't open my eyes. The light brought back memories.I remembered. "Don't tell them you can see." That voice was my own subconscious. It turned out that I was the one who blinded myself and didn't trust anyone from the outside world."Chen Ting! Wake up." A beeping sound filled my ears, and someone seemed to be calling my name. I opened my eyes in a daze and saw many white figures swaying around me and Xu Lili smiling at me. I wanted to reach out and grab her, but I couldn't use any power in my hands. The feeling of powerlessness came and went, and I gradually fell into darkness.Half a year later, sitting on a bench in the hospital, I held Xu Lili's hand and told her a story. Xu Lili held a doll in her arms, tilted her head, and looked at me with her eyes wide open, with that kind of unworldly clarity in her eyes. There were no nurses in black, no dark castles, no blind patients, just us relaxing in the sun.I get it. Let me go ahead and organize and finish this story:I am Lily Xu. I have a tall and handsome husband, and we are very much in love. Just after our first year of marriage, I gave birth to our first child, a daughter. My mother-in-law was very unhappy with me because she wanted grandchildren. My husband didn't mind, he said it was okay, we could have more. So after another two years, I gave birth to another child, which turned out to be a daughter. At that time, there was family planning, and I was already overborn, having already given birth to two daughters. My mother-in-law gave the baby away without my knowledge to avoid being fined. I made a lot of noise, but they wouldn't tell me where the child was given away. Because of my crying, my husband became less and less patient with me and was not even willing to take my side.Since then I have not liked to communicate with people and have always locked myself in my room. They all said there was something wrong with me, but I didn't think so myself, I just became disillusioned with them.After a couple of years I got pregnant again. This time I finally had a son. They were happy to be around the baby, but I wasn't happy at all and always looked at them blankly, like two worlds. I wondered, would my child who was given away be treated like this? I wanted to hug her so much.I don't know why, but one day they locked me up and wouldn't even let me come near my children, even my eldest daughter didn't dare come near me. No matter how much I begged, they wouldn't let me out. In the end, they even sent me back to my mother's house. They said I was sick.I haven't seen them since. No one has asked my opinion, not even my children have come to see me. Family, loved ones, children, they all left me.Until one day they put me in a place to be locked up. It was so dark there, nothing but me. From then on, there was only darkness in my world.
The End
