Chapter 533 Another Collapse
Roman looked at Lainey's slender back, still stubbornly maintaining his smile.
Roman silently cleaned up all the carefully prepared dishes and pushed the dining cart out of the room.
When Lainey heard the sound of the door gently closing, she finally turned around. Tears had already rushed out of her eyes.
"Roman, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry...’ Lainey raised her pale hand to cover her mouth, crying as she apologized softly.
Lainey thought, I cannot be so selfish. Rather than drag Roman down, making him stay away from reality with me, it is better to let him go.
Inside the kitchen, Roman poured all the food that was about to go cold into the trash can.
Looking at the food mixed together and becoming worthless scraps, Roman let out a low laugh, laughing at himself, "Roman, you are really a loser."
After that, Lainey seemed to have isolated herself from the world.
Every day, Lainey would only look at the unchanging scenery outside the balcony. No matter what Roman did, she didn't even bother to give him a glance.
Roman even wondered if the smile he saw on that day was just his illusion.
Roman was getting worse and worse.
Roman waited upon Lainey as usual, even though she was getting colder and colder, he never gave up.
It was not until Roman found that he couldn't fall asleep after closing his eyes for a few hours that he secretly called the family doctor over to have a look at himself.
The family doctor looked at Roman with a complicated expression and said a few words in a low voice.
After the family doctor left, Roman clutched a small medicine bottle in his hand and stared at it with scarlet eyes.
Roman thought, how could I myself actually have a precursor to depression before I rescue Lainey from the abyss?
Roman could not accept the doctor's diagnosis, unwilling to believe it.
So when the family doctor persuaded Roman to go to the psychological clinic for treatment, he refused without thinking.
Roman stood up and dragged his powerless body to close the kitchen door.
Roman's hand was still on the door handle, and tears flowed out uncontrollably, accompanied by low sobs.
Roman did not want to become so weak and powerless, but he was really tired.
If not for the thought of pulling Lainey out of the abyss of despair, Roman would have long been unable to hold on.
Because Roman had not slept for several nights, he not only lost weight rapidly but also looked worse.
Lainey didn't think too much about that. She only thought that her act of indifference had worked. Lainey thought perhaps it would not be long before Roman could not stand it and took the initiative to leave her.
Lainey thought, after a while, when Roman is over me, he will return to be the funny boy he used to be, and he should be able to attract many beauties.
Lainey fantasized about those scenes, both gratified and painful.
Lainey thought, in the end, I still have to personally push the sunny boy that only belongs to me to someone else.
Roman could still feel dizzy as he leaned against the wall. He gritted his teeth and walked back to the guest room step by step.
There were still unopened sleeping pills and anti-depression pills on the bedside table.
Roman knew that he could get some sleep by taking some sleeping pills.
However, Roman was worried that the pills would be so powerful that even an alarm clock wouldn't wake him up, and that it wouldn't be good to delay Lainey's breakfast.
