Chapter 152
After returning from the University of Luo, Zachary had a good rest at home for the whole night.
The next day, he thought of Vanessa's condition yesterday and could not help but worry. So he drove to Su's hometown and greeted Maxwell. Zachary asked, "Maxwell, is Vanessa here?"
Maxwell was slightly stunned. A smile appeared on his face, but he said with some regret, "What a coincidence. Vanessa went to Cloudia Mountain today."
"Cloudia Mountain!" Zachary thought about this name and felt a little familiar.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Maxwell sighed softly and said, "When Vanessa had a car accident, it was at Cloudia Mountain."
After being reminded by Maxwell, Zachary remembered that when he had just merged with the spirit of Harrison, the Herbal King, the first patient he saved was Vanessa, who was sent to the Rutherford Hospital of the Ling county because of a car accident.
In Zachary's impression, Cloudia Mountain was just a small mountain near Ludington City, which was only more than 100 meters high. Compared with the famous Yandang Mountain not far from Ludington City, it was not worth mentioning at all.
Cloudia Mountain was originally a relatively high hill, and there was no special scenery or historical sites at all. Therefore, even the local residents of Ludington City rarely regarded Cloudia Mountain as a tourist place.
As if he had seen through Zachary's doubts, Maxwell explained, "Vanessa went to Cloudia Mountain to relieve her worries. Since she was ten years old, she often liked to go there."
"Is there anything special?" Zachary asked.
Maxwell sighed softly and said, "That's Vanessa's mother's favorite place."
Hearing this, Zachary felt a little strange in his heart. He had always regarded Vanessa as a friend, and he was very familiar with Maxwell. But until now, he found that his impression and understanding of Vanessa seemed to only stay in the general address of the campus belle, the talented woman, the beautiful Chinese medicine genius and so on. He did not know Vanessa's family and mind at all.
He opened his mouth and wanted to ask something, but he couldn't say it anyway.
Maxwell looked at him and said to Zachary, "Zachary, you met Su Yuanzhi some time ago, so it will be strange. Let's get along with him!"
Zachary nodded. As a governor, Su Yuanzhi was definitely a high-ranking official. But before he came to Ludington City, Zachary had never heard any information about him from Vanessa and Maxwell.
When Maxwell faced difficulties, it seemed that he never asked his son for help first. Even the previous incident was related to the lives of hundreds or even tens of thousands of people because of his fever. That was why Maxwell used this relationship.
Moreover, even if Su Yuanzhi came to Ludington City, his relationship with Maxwell and Vanessa seemed to be only a little better than that of a stranger. He did not do anything intimate at all.
"Su Yuanzhi is my son and the only son." Maxwell said slowly, telling the family's unknown past.
"You know, I have been studying traditional Chinese medicine since I was a child. I have been working in this field for a lifetime. Naturally, I also hope that my son can inherit my skills, so I have been educated in traditional Chinese medicine to Yuanzhi since I was very young."
"Maybe I'm too strict! Although I started traditional Chinese medicine education since I was a child, he has never been interested in traditional Chinese medicine. So after he went to college, he left Ludington City and rarely came back. Later, he graduated from university."
"At that time, I was in a period of best balance between energy and experience of traditional Chinese medicine. Naturally, I hoped that he could change his mind and go home to inherit my traditional Chinese medicine. However, he chose to take the civil servant examination and entered the official career. Naturally, we had a big quarrel and almost broke up completely. Our relationship with father was almost frozen to the freezing point, and there was no contact from then on." Zachary's eyes flashed with slight surprise. He didn't expect that there was such a past between Maxwell and Governor Su.
Maxwell sighed softly and continued, "When he got married and gave birth to Vanessa, our relationship eased a little."
"At that time, I was getting old. Therefore, I wanted to pass down my traditional Chinese medicine skill. So when Vanessa was five years old, I put forward my own idea."
"Of course. He and I had a fierce quarrel, and their relationship seemed to have deteriorated to a worse situation than before. Fortunately, Vanessa's mother agreed with my opinion at this time, and Vanessa also showed her interest in traditional Chinese medicine. So, from then on, Vanessa and her son almost moved to Ludington City and lived with me."
"When Vanessa was ten years old, Yuanzhi divorced Vanessa's mother, and Vanessa's mother also left her at that time. Cloudia Mountain was once Vanessa's mother's favorite place to go."
After listening to Maxwell's explanation, Zachary felt a faint pain in his heart. He wanted to say something, but when he was about to say it, he found that he couldn't say anything.
Zachary did not expect that the God's favored daughter, who seemed to be very happy and lucky in other people's eyes, had such a painful past.
"Maxwell, Vanessa will be fine, won't she?" Zachary asked with some concern.
Maxwell shook his head and said, "It's okay. Vanessa has been very familiar with that place for so many years. When I first started it, I went there many times. It's okay, she just wants to be alone." Since Maxwell had said so, Zachary did not stay any longer and said goodbye and left the Sue family.

In the car, Zachary received a phone call from Principal Ludington University Zhu before he arrived home.
"Headmaster Zhu, what's the matter?" Zachary asked.
"Dr. Ching, are you free? If you are free, please come to the Affiliated Hospital of the Luo Eldest Hospital." Principal Zhu sounded a little anxious.
"President Zhu, what happened? Is there a patient?" Zachary asked. The steering wheel had been turned over and drove toward the Affiliated Hospital of Luo.
Principal Zhu said, "It's still about He Jing. She's not in a stable mood."
"How could this be?" Zachary was shocked. No matter how bad his acupuncture treatment was yesterday, it would not be fruitless so soon. "Principal Zhu, you control He Jing's situation first. I'll be right there." Soon, Zachary drove to the Affiliated Hospital of Luo. Principal Zhu, who was anxious, took Zachary to the ward.
Before he entered the ward, Zachary heard the sound of crackling and crying from inside. He Jing kept crying.
Pushing open the door of the ward, Zachary saw that the ward was in a mess. The sheets, quilts, cups and other things were thrown on the floor in a mess. He Jing was wearing a hospital gown and her long hair was messy. She was crying and screaming crazily in the room. She kept picking up the things around her hands and then smashed them on the ground.
In the corner, a nurse looked at He Jing timidly, who seemed to be crazy. She was holding a medicine tray in her hand, but she did not dare to approach.
On the other side, a woman in a police uniform was talking to He Jing carefully. Zachary looked at her for a few more times and recognized the policewoman. She was a policewoman named Huihui, who had her hair tied up in a bun on the roof yesterday.
