Chapter 524 Suicide
Lainey woke up and was in a daze in bed. Roman was worried that she would be uncomfortable lying on the bed and went to help her up.
Lainey was like an exquisite doll. She was motionless and let Roman help her up.
Roman put a pillow behind Lainey. Looking at Lainey's soulless eyes, he endured his sadness and talked to her gently.
Just then, the alarm was activated.
Roman said, "The oatmeal I made for you should be ready. I'll go to the kitchen and take a look. I'll be back soon."
After that, Roman got up and left.
Lainey was still in a daze, but tears secretly came out of the corners of her eyes.
Roman added some water to the pot. It would take a few minutes before the fire was turned off.
Roman stood in front of the pot and looked at the blue and red flames, lost in thought.
When the lid of the pot made a sound, Roman came to his senses.
The oatmeal had been boiling for too long, and it couldn't wait to get out of the pot.
Some of the oatmeal had flowed to the clean table, and the mellow smell filled the whole kitchen.
Roman hurriedly cleaned up. In his panic, his arm accidentally touched the boiling edge of the pot.
The sudden pain made Roman gasp. He almost threw the rag in his hand into the pot.
Roman didn't wash the burn with cold water. To maintain the delicate flavor of the oatmeal, he endured the pain and spooned it out.
Roman put down his sleeve casually to cover his scalded skin. He carefully walked upstairs with the oatmeal.
"Lainey, this is my innovative body-nourishing oatmeal. You are the first to try it." Roman brought a stool to the side of the bed so that he could feed Lainey.
Lainey did not reply or react. She was still staring straight ahead.
Roman had gotten used to this. He said, "If you don't speak, I will take it as you agree."
Roman scooped out some oatmeal and gently blew it before handing it to Lainey's mouth. "Open your mouth and try it."
Lainey opened her mouth mechanically. Roman took the opportunity to feed her, and she mechanically swallowed.
At least, Lainey ate something. Roman used this to comfort himself several times in the dead of night.
The peaceful life did not last long.
Roman thought that even if Lainey did not get better, at least she would not go worse.
However, one afternoon, Roman watched Lainey go into the bathroom.
Soon, there was the sound of water flowing in the bathroom.
Roman did not think much of it. He thought that Lainey was taking a bath. However, forty minutes had passed, and Lainey had not come out of the bathroom.
Roman began to feel restless. He got up, walked to the bathroom, and knocked on the door. Afraid of scaring the person inside, he asked in an extremely gentle voice, "Lainey, what are you doing there?"
More than ten seconds had passed, but there was still no response.
Roman realized that something was wrong. He did not care about anything else and quickly took a few steps back, slamming the door open.
The scarlet red color covered the smooth floor. It was like an enchanting and dazzling flower from hell.
