Anson walks in and sees that the room is a mess. Miya still refuses to eat and even throws the food all over the ground. She curls up in a small corner like a puppy.
This almost breaks Anson's heart.
He takes a deep breath and wends his way to Miya.
He crouches down and gently strokes her hair.
"Everything will be okay," he says in a deep voice.
But Miya doesn't listen to him. Instead, she feels impatient and pushes him away.
"Go away! I don't want to see you now!"
"Don't be so emotional. You should know that you haven't eaten for several days. If this continues, you will die," Anson persuades with good intentions.
Miya replies indifferently, "So what if I die?" Anyway, she doesn't want to live in the world anymore.
"How can you be so selfish? Have you ever thought about your children, your family and me? You've promised me before. I've been waiting for you, but you just abandon me?" Anson says excitedly.
He shakes Miya's shoulder with all his strength.
Miya doesn't stop him, because she doesn't care about anything now.
"Please wake up, okay? You abandon yourself just for a man who doesn't love you. Do you think it's worth it?" Anson can't stand it anymore. During these days, he has comforted her through all sorts of methods, but all are useless. Miya has always been spiritless.
Hearing this, Miya refutes desperately.
"He loves me! How is it possible that he doesn't love me...?" Miya bursts into tears.
"If you really love him, you should win him back instead of giving up yourself," Anson says loudly.
However, Miya refuses, "What does it have to do with you?"
"I like you, so your thing is mine. No matter whether you agree or not, I will not allow you to abuse yourself like this," Anson says as if it's a matter of course.
Miya sneers, "Can you tell me what exactly you like about me? I'm a woman with nothing now."
Her tone is a little sarcastic, but Anson feels even more pity for her.
"I know you say this because you don't want me to worry about you. However, I can't stop loving you. I will support all your choices and help you do whatever you want, provided that you take good care of yourself." Anson doesn't expect Miya to be so dispirited.
Miya, however, doesn't take it seriously and shakes her head gently, "Don't say such things to me again. I will never believe in love."
She can't see any hope in this world. She closes her eyes, waiting for death. This world has nothing to do with her now.
"Don't close your eyes and pretend to be dead. I know you've always heard me. Can't you give me a chance? If you think he loves you, why do you give up yourself?"
After that, Anson carries Miya up.
