"Yes. Just like some psychiatric patients, where it's intermittent. Most of the time they are ill, but when provoked, they become clear-headed and seize the moment to do what they most want to do."
"Are you saying that what my father-in-law most wants to do is... commit suicide?" Chen Zhi asked incredulously.
Zhuo Yi frowned gravely, thinking that might indeed be the case.
Chen Zhi also believed it must be so, which was terrifying. The thing her father-in-law wanted most was to commit suicide.
"From now on, I won't mention my mother in front of him." Chen Zhi said guiltily, "It's all my fault. If anything happens to dad because of me, I will never forgive myself."
