The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2625

Lucas gestured for the nurse beside him to take care of Thalia, then left hastily.

Claudia was also in agony. She walked over to Thalia defeatedly, wanting to pull her up, but both ended up collapsing on the ground together.

"Claudia, oh Claudia. Sob! Tell me this is all fake! They must be lying to me. Everything was fine when we left this morning, and now they're saying Dad is in a vegetative state. They're lying to me, right? Tell me!"

Thalia shook Claudia repeatedly, who could only cry. She could not accept the truth herself, so how could she convince Thalia to accept it?

Although Thalia always acted tough toward her dad, they both knew she loved him deeply. Every little prank she pulled was just to get Henry's attention. She was just a mischievous child.

'Thalia must be in unbearable pain for having to face the fact that Dad might never wake up,' thought Claudia.

She hung her head in shame, believing more than ever that it was all her fault that Henry was in a vegetative state. She leaned on Thalia's shoulder in anguish, ignoring her resistance. At that moment, Thalia was the only family she had left to rely on.

Lucas remained silent with his fists clenched; he was unsure of how to face this reality. He felt like the outsider, the least qualified to tell them not to be sad. What could he do?

"I'm really sorry..." His apology was drowned out by the sisters' cries, and no one responded to his apology.

However, when they reached home, Thalia suddenly seemed to have a change of heart and started to engage with Claudia as if she had a sudden epiphany.

"Are you still taking your depression medication?"

Claudia, seeing her sister willing to engage with her, felt happy and did not know what to say. She responded somewhat awkwardly, "Um, yeah. I'm still taking it. The doctor said my condition is under control now, and while there are some other psychological issues, they're manageable. Don't worry, I'll definitely get better soon!"

Claudia had been seeing a psychologist since the day their father fell into a coma. She understood that the problems she was facing were serious, even potentially life-threatening. Her emotions had been very low, and she had even contemplated leaving this world.
