Divorce me I'm done serving you (Ayla) novel Chapter 516

Chapter 516 The Nightmares

Something might be wrong.

But it definitely wasn’t his fault.

He had spent his entire life trying his best to avoid making mistakes.

The problem couldn’t be with him.

It was all Ayla’s fault. It was because she left him that his life had lost its balance.

He only wanted to restore that balance now. His needs were completely reasonable.

Besides, it was initially Ayla who liked him and wanted to marry him. She did not want his status, but him as a person. He was still here, still waiting for her to come back. Ayla could not have let go that easily. So he still had a chance. Things were not as bad as Isabella said, nor as certain as Max’s gloating confidence.

Troy used to think this way, with firm and confident thoughts in his heart. But now, that inner voice carried a light, floating sense of guilt and uncertainty.

He couldn’t stay in this room any longer.

He felt like he was drowning in a strange, painful feeling.

What the heck?

Why did he feel so miserable?

Troy went back to his room, washed up, and went to sleep while enduring his hunger.

He hadn’t had a nightmare in years. To him, a nightmare wasn’t a scary monster. It was his suffocating childhood.

“Why do you always have to mess things up?”

Carmen was like a supreme dictator, looking down at him from above.

“Why are you always just a little short?

“Can you be a bit more outstanding? You can’t even beat an illegitimate child. How am I suppose to keep my reputation like this? Troy, you need to work harder and focus more, understand?!

“If you want me to give you the gift you like, you must meet my requirements. Otherwise, you get nothing!

“Why are you crying?! The gift has already been given to you. You have the responsibility to protect it. If it breaks, that’s because you didn’t keep it safe! It’s your fault, do you understand? Can you stop making mistakes? Troy, you always disappoint me!

“Why are you sick again? Why can’t you learn to take care of yourself?

“You got beaten by your dad again? Then why did you have to provoke Draven and make your grandfather and father dislike you? You need to make them like you, not favor Draven. Why are you always so stupid? Lie here and reflect on yourself properly!”

Carmen slammed the hospital door hard.

Troy, who was only five or six years old, lay on the hospital bed. He didn’t feel hurt anymore. He just stared at the ceiling with eyes full of hatred and self-loathing.

He had tied Draven to a tree. When the family found out, his father beat him nearly to death with a stick. He had a high fever in the hospital, and his mother’s only reaction was to yell at him.

Troy felt that he had not done well enough. He only hated that Draven, hanging in the woods, did not just die.

He’d been beaten so badly he was burning up with a fever, but all of it was punishment for not doing well enough.

Troy had accepted it.

He believed that getting sick was his fault, so it was normal that no one cared about him.

But this time, he was seriously ill. He was never discharged. One day, the ward door was pushed open. He thought it was a nurse coming to change his medicine. Since he had disappointed his mother, of course he would not receive her care. His father favored Draven, that little bastard. And if he made mistakes on purpose, his father would come even less often.

But the person who came in was Draven. His wrist was still wrapped in white gauze.

That bastard had been beaten so badly by him, and he still dared to come to the hospital to see him? Wasn’t he afraid Troy would beat him to death?

Instead, he asked if they could forget the past and be best friends.

Forget the past?

Best friends?

Are you joking? If it wasn’t for you, would my mother treat me like this? If it wasn’t for you, would I be constantly losing to you and never getting the gifts I want? If it wasn’t for you, would my mother constantly be so disappointed that she wouldn’t even care for me while I’m on the verge of death?

The one who should die was the bastard, not him!

Troy spat at Draven to insult him and told him to get out.

After he left the hospital, he tried his best to behave so Carmen would approve of him. Sadly, as long as Draven was there, he could never be the best. He won more often in sports, but that only got him a few seconds of praise.

Even when he won, he had used up all his strength. So he had to work very hard to earn love and rewards. Otherwise, he got nothing. Because no one would be nice to him for no reason. Anyone who suddenly got close to him and pretended to like him was a liar.

And the rewards never lasted long.

Because after the praise came even harsher criticism and higher demands.

“You think winning once is enough? Far from it!” Carmen looked at him coldly. “So what if you got first place? You need to widen the gap with second place!”

So, maintaining someone’s liking was even harder.

If someone always loved you and treated you well, it just meant they were good at lying to make your heart go soft.

Once your heart softened, they would question you even more harshly. “You didn’t do nearly well enough, do you understand? What are you so proud of? What do you have to be smug about?”

When Draven moved back to Zheron, Troy thought the nightmare would end. Instead, Carmen became even harder on him.
