Chapter 99

After returning from Annecy, France, Drake had been diagnosed with severe depression and admitted to hospital for treatment.

During his stay, many people came to visit him.

But never Thalia.

Each time the door to his room opened, Drake would hold his breath in nervous anticipation, staring hopefully at

the entrance.

But every time, his hopes were dashed, and he would lower his eyes and slump his shoulders in disappointment.

From dawn until dusk, he waited, but the one person he longed to see never came.

Drake’s heart ached unbearably. He thought in despair that his Thalía truly would never return to him.

Thalia, without you, what’s the point of living?

At dinnertime, Margaret arrived with a care worker to bring Drake his meal.

The moment she pushed open the door, Margaret let out a piercing scream, dropping the insulated food container and rushing forward.

“Drake!”

Margaret grabbed Drake’s arm. “Drake, what are you doing? Stop it right now! Oh my God, no!”

When she had entered, she’d seen Drake gripping a fruit knife, slashing at his wrist!

Margaret wept uncontrollably. “What are you thinking? Why would you do something so crazy? What would I do without you? Oh God, Drake, please…”

Blood had already soaked the bedsheets. Drake had made a deep gash across his wrist, and blood was flowing freely.

Drake’s eyes were vacant, his expression blank. He hadn’t registered a single word Margaret had said.

His mind was filled with only one thought: Thalia didn’t want him anymore. Thalia would never come back.

The pain made it difficult to breathe. He felt utterly hopeless, as though life held no meaning.

It hurts so much, Thalia.
