But Byron declined Johnson's offer. "I can't stimulate her like that just for the possibility of being cured. Give me a conservative treatment plan."
The conservative treatment plan Johnson offered was medication control.
When Byron first brought the prescribed medication to Cora, Cora recognized it immediately.
"Medication for depression?"
"Dr. Watts said you had a relapse of depression. Cora, I'm sorry. I didn't know that practice would cause you to get depressed in the first place..."
If he'd known that, he'd have kept her from knowing he was still alive in the world.
Today, after learning from Johnson that Cora was depressed all those years and even had countless thoughts of killing herself, he blamed himself immensely and regretted it.
Cora saw the man hanging his head and wrapped her arms around his waist behind him, resting her face lightly against his chest.
"It's okay. I feel like I'm pretty normal right now. I don't feel unhappy. I shouldn't have to take any medication."
"Cora, if you're sick, you have to take medicine. Just be good, okay?"
Byron coaxed her in a low voice.
Looking at the man's red bloodshot eyes, and then at his eyes that were deeply sunken because he hadn't been sleeping well, Cora finally compromised.
"Okay."
She frowned as she looked at one of the pills.
She didn't feel unhappy. She just couldn't find a reason to be happy. Why did everyone think she was unhappy?
Time passed and it came to August 15th when Georgia and Efren got married.
The day was filled with guests who came to their wedding reception.
Cora and Byron brought Martin to the wedding reception as well.
