Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 1509

People with depression would usually look like they have dark clouds hanging over them at all times.

The light would be gone from their eyes, and they would regard everything in a negative light.

Compared to Sean's leg, his heart was more important. Olivia had to help him open his heart somehow.

As Olivia inserted the needles, she said in a gentle voice, "If you were troublesome, Mr. Troy wouldn't have kept watch over you even when he's working.

"Our family is our refuge, and they can accept and understand you no matter what.

"I heard that Ms. Quinn died in an accident. How did you feel back then? If you leave this world, your family will feel the same thing you felt back then.

"This world may not be perfect, but as long as you're alive, you'll bring hope and happiness to the people around you.

"You're so young, and you're not even afraid of death. Why would you be afraid to live?"

Sean stared at the green waves of grass rolling outside.

Only he was privy to his own thoughts as he mumbled, "Yes, I don't even fear death, so what would I be scared of? I just…"

He opened his palms, his gaze losing focus. "I just don't know how I should live anymore. If I don't take medications, I won't be able to sleep for the whole night.

"Dr. Fordham, do you know what it's like to wait from dawn till dusk and then wait some more for the sunrise?

"I don't want to lose my will to medications. I won't be able to survive even a second of that life."

As expected, it was just as Olivia had guessed.

Even though he was deeply disturbed by his girlfriend's sudden passing, time would slowly heal his wounds.

It would form a scar in his heart, and when he thought about it, sometimes, he would get emotional.

But this scar wasn't so powerful that he would seek his own death so many years later. The thing that was truly torturing him was his insomnia.

He didn't want to take the medication every day, and that was how he ended up like this.

Olivia wasn't an expert in mental illnesses, but she also knew that some medicine could lead to dependency.

Such medicine was very strictly regulated, so even if doctors prescribed the medicine, they would do it in very controlled doses.
