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.

So, from the time the doctor gave the medicine to Roman until now, he would rather be awake all night than take a sleeping pill.

Lainey was about to collapse.

A few days ago, Lainey had indeed slowly become better. At least, with Roman's company, she was not in a nightmare.

But in the past few days, Lainey had been giving herself psychological hints that she should leave Roman and let him live a better life. However, while Lainey was indifferent to Roman, she was hurting herself day after day.

Lainey always thought of Roman leaving her, and even in the future, he would hold another woman in his arms.

Whenever Lainey thought of that, she was in so much pain that she could hardly breathe and would be overwhelmed with sorrow.

One afternoon, Lainey stood on the balcony, looking at the gloomy sky and smiling with tears in her eyes.

Lainey decided to let go of each other.

Lainey thought as long as she was gone, Roman would definitely forget her and time would be able to heal everything.

Roman used the ice pack to get himself back to consciousness and regain some strength.

Roman secretly cheered himself up and turned to go back to the bedroom to accompany Lainey.

At this moment, Roman heard a sound coming from the bedroom, like a heavy object falling to the ground.

Roman was frightened and immediately rushed into the bedroom.

Lainey was stepping on the stool and trying to climb onto the balcony, but she was shocked when she heard the door rebound to the wall with a bang, and her body shook involuntarily. Roman saw Lainey was in imminent danger.

Roman's heart skipped a beat on the spot. Due to extreme fear, his voice trembled violently and sounded very odd. "Lainey, what, what are you doing?"

Lainey almost fell from the stool. In fact, she was afraid, and her face instantly turned pale.

When Lainey finally calmed down, Roman was already about 3 feet away from her.

"Don't you come over here!" Lainey was so scared that she couldn't control her tears, and she forgot all the words she had planned in advance. Lainey could only bite her lips, grab the railing with both hands and jump with all her might, sitting on the landscape wall of the balcony. Unable to steady herself, Lainey pressed her nails against the cracks in the wall, trying not to say a word despite the stinging pain. Seeing this, Roman completely panicked and staggered to run over.

Lainey cried sharply, "Stop!"

Roman only paused for a moment, and then he subconsciously continued to move forward.

"You come any closer, and I'll jump!" Lainey said as she tilted her upper body outwards.

"No!" Roman's eyes flashed with tears, and he felt great pain in his heart.

Suddenly, Roman slowly knelt down towards Lainey, whose back was facing the sunlight.

Seeing this scene, Lainey shook her head violently and cried out in alarm, "No, Roman, don't do that. Get up! Are you crazy?"

This was the first time Roman shed tears in front of Lainey. He choked and said, "Lainey, please... Will you get down here? If you are pissed, you can do whatever you want to me. You can beat me or scold me. Please do not hurt yourself."

The humble remarks turned into countless sharp swords, mercilessly hurting Lainey.

Lainey stared at Roman with an obsessed look. Lainey did not even want to blink, and it seemed as if with just a glance, she could be with him eternally.

Lainey reached out her arm and slowly traced the outline of Roman's face in the air. Her voice was desolate. "I'm not worth it. You can live a better life without me.'
