Young Miss Strike Back! - Chapter 98

Some time passed and Qin Mei returned with a nurse and the doctor who had first looked at Minmin when she arrived. Seeing the strange people enter the room Minmin immediately dug herself into Lin Xiaoxiao’s embrace trembling. Seeing this made Lin Xiaoxiao frown. It seemed her trauma was worse than she had thought.

“Minmin you have to let the doctor take a look so they can find out if you are okay or not.” Lin Xiaoxiao tried her best to coax Minmin.

It was only after much coaxing from Lin Xiaoxiao did Minmin finally let the nurse and doctor do their jobs. When they were done they exited the room with Qin Mei. The doctor had a bitter smile on her face as she said: “Miss Qin it would seem Miss Min is suffering from a case of age regression. The trauma she had suffered was too great for her mental state. Which is why her current mental age is somewhere around three to seven years old. This occasionally happens when someone has experienced great trauma like Miss Min. It may take some time but Miss Min should recover over time.”

Hearing this Qin Mei felt her heart sink. The poor child suffered such trauma that she was forced to regress in age to block out everything that happened to protect herself. Qin Mei sighed and then thanked the doctor and went back into the room where Lin Xiaoxiao was now reading  Minmin a story from her phone.

“From inside of the box I heard, quite clearly, a thump. The lid opened by itself, and out jumped the boy…” Lin Xiaoxiao was currently reading a fairy tale called ” Stealing Peaches 1 “.  She could tell something was not right with Minmin so when she asked to hear a fairy tale. Lin Xiaoxiao did not ask why and quickly looked one up to read.

“Fairy Lily are you, my mom…?” Minmin asked sleepily her eyes were half shut while she asked this question.

Lin Xiaoxiao froze. She was confused as to why Minmin would ask such a question. Hearing this question Qin Mei quickly walked forward and placed her hand on Lin Xiaoxiao’s shoulder saying: “No she is your sister, I am your mother don’t you remember Little Min?”

Lin Xiaoxiao was still confused as to what was going on but if Qin Mei was acting this way there must be a reason why. “That’s right I’m your sister Little Min.”

“Sister…? Mom…? Wu! Wu! Sister, Mom! Little Min had such terrible dreams!” Minmin once again burst out crying.

Flustered Lin Xiaoxiao quickly put her phone down and pulled Minmin into a hug. Qin Mei also went around the other side of the bed, sat down and started rubbing Minmin’s back. After a while, Minmin cried herself to sleep. Qin Mei pulled Lin Xiaoxiao out of the room and explained to her what was going on.

“That explains it then. I was wondering why she asked if I was her mom. Mom if you can’t handle this just tell me. I don’t want to burden you if it is something that you feel uncomfortable handling. ” Lin Xiaoxiao did want to burden her mother if Minmin mentality had regressed in age.

“No… It’s fine. I would not have told Minmin I was her mother if I felt burdened in any way. I plan to be this girl’s mother from now on. So treat your new sister kindly!” Qin Mei said as she flicked Lin Xiaoxiao’s forehead.

“Un! Of course. Thanks, Mom.” Lin Xiaoxiao wrapped her arms around Qin Mei giving her a big hug.

As time went by a week passed and after careful observation Minmin mental state was confirmed to be around five years old. After the confirmation the doctors allowed Minmin to leave the hospital. Luckily due to this age regression, she was not as scared of men to the point of freaking out but she would still bury her head into Lin Xiaoxiao’s or Qin Mei’s body when one came near. Otherwise, she would shyly hide behind Lin Xiaoxiao or Qin Mei as she walked through the hospital. Shen Xing had prepared them an all-female escort to leave the hospital with. He was taking care not to cause any more issues with Minmin’s trauma.

On the ride home Minmin was bouncing around from window to window acting like how a little kid would on their first road trip as they tried to take in all the scenery around them. They were currently heading to the new house Shen Xing bought.

When they passed the large front gates that had two guards standing outside of it. They entered what seemed to be a small bamboo forest. It gave off a peaceful relaxed feeling. The drive twist and turned for about five minutes before they exited the bamboo forest to a huge open area with a manmade lake that had a pavilion on the edge of its shore. A few minutes from there stood a large western-style mansion that had four floors. When Lin Xxiaoxiao laid her eyes on to the house she let out a gasp of surprise. She had not seen the house Shen Xing had bought until now since she was busy helping Qin Mei take care of Minmin at the hospital.  She never expected Shen Xing to buy such a big house! As they pulled up a group of maids stood outside to welcome them. At the front stood an elderly old man in a butler’s outfit.

Lin Xiaoxiao was at a loss for words she couldn’t help but take a look at Qin Mei only to see Qin Mei just as dumbstruck as herself. “Mom I think I need to have a talk with Xing about overdoing things…” Lin Xiaoxiao really wanted to know what they were going to do with a four-story house!

Qin Mei only nodded her head replying with a simple: “Un…”
