Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness novel Chapter 37

"Mr. Gu, the patient’s cooperation could aid in the treatment for depression." The family doctor was around 50 years old. The Gu family hired him since he was a student. For many years, he had been in charge of Nelson’s health condition.

An apprentice, in his early twenties, with a youthful face and brilliant mind followed him around. Word had it that he was a gifted physician and was now mainly responsible for Jonas’s well-being.

This time, both of them were present.

"I didn’t expect her to be like this. Sorry for the trouble," said Nelson.

The doctor arrived to examine Nelson’s status every month. After so many years, their personal relationship matured into genuine friendship. Nelson sighed at the thought of Yulia.

"Let’s look at your body."

The doctor had learned from Gavin regarding Nelson’s situation and recommended a physical examination. The most important thing for the old man was his mood. Some time ago, the affair of Jonas and Melinda annoyed Nelson, and now he became more agitated with Yulia’s issue, which was in significant contrast to Nelson’s present condition.

But deep in her heart, Yulia knew better than everyone else concerning her own condition. Knowing that the specialist was coming to the mansion, she acted restless and refused to cooperate. She shoved the servant that her grandfather sent out of her room.

The doctor proposed that she should see a psychiatrist and work together with the drug treatment, which may focus on medication.

Yulia isolated herself in her room and she stayed there secluded for another day. The psychiatrist tried to interact with her, but got kicked out.

"She’s in morbid self-protection. It’ll just make matters worse."

"I’ll give it a shot."

Melinda got up and went upstairs. The servant who took care of Yulia was holding a silver tray and stood at the door looking helpless. She looked at Melinda as if she saw a rescuer.

"Give me her lunch, and you wait out here."

The servant immediately handed Melinda the tray. Yulia had locked the bedroom door, and even if they had the key, it couldn’t open. She had installed another padlock from the inside.

This meant that Yulia was still sober. Melinda raised her eyebrows and knocked on the door three times in a row, making sure the person inside could hear.

"Yulia, you are such a wimp."

A mocking smile twisted on the corner of Melinda’s mouth, and her tone was sarcastic. The servant next to her widened her eyes in surprise. She sensed that Mrs. Gu did not come to save a life, but to destroy one.

Inside, Yulia sat on the priceless Moroccan carpet not distant from the doorway. She had a strange expression on her calm face when she heard the voice of Melinda.

"Yulia, I despise you. You have insulted me for five years, and I’ve become better than I was before. But you’ve grown into a coward. I’m so ashamed to have you as my enemy."

These words were partially true, and she knew well how to get on Yulia’s nerves. Maybe a depressed person couldn’t bear such vexation, but Yulia needed to hear it.

"Do you know why I came back after all this time? Because I wanted my revenge. But now it seems that you’re not worthy of it at all."

Every word that Melinda spoke alarmed the servant. She had bullied her before, and now Mrs. Gu was in a different position in the family.

Maybe one day, she would get that revenge on her.

The more Yulia thought, the more desperate she became. She tried to cover her ears with her hands so she could block out those hurtful words. However, the echo of Melinda’s voice rang in her ears like a magic spell. She screamed and opened the door with her red, puffy eyes.

Yulia was just like a psycho. Her hair was in a terrible mess. She looked awful, not as graceful as before.

Compared with Melinda, she looked even more awkward.

Melinda saw the door open, but she said nothing and directly walked inside carrying the food. Behind her, Yulia followed. Her mouth moved slowly, as if cursing on something, but no words came out. She clenched her fists tightly, but she dared not do anything.

"Yulia, you hate me, right?"

Melinda cocked one eyebrow and became curious. She was the victim of oppression for the last five years. But in comparison, Yulia loathed her.

The bitterness in Yulia’s eyes was not fake.

"Melinda, you know nothing. You just enjoy grandfather’s protection. What makes you think you deserve that? You are just an ordinary girl from a typical family. I am a member of the Gu family. Why should you be better than me in all places?"

Yulia glared at Melinda violently, and she thought it was her that changed everything. She became more inferior to everyone. Although she was an illegitimate daughter, no one dared to say anything about it.

"Everyone looked down on me just because of my humble mother. Why?!"

Melinda had heard just a little regarding Yulia’s background. That was the taboo of rich families. But she did not expect it to be all true.
