Chapter 1298 Pick Yourself Up
At that moment, Nina was standing in front of the windows, gazing at the sky full of twinkling stars. Then, a gust of wind blew past her, making her shiver.
She felt isolated from the rest of the world after being depressed for a few days. The only place for activities was her bedroom.
She had been feeling empty the entire time. Yet, despite her best efforts to fill the emptiness in her heart by eating incessantly, the void remained unfilled. On the other hand, her weight had increased significantly.
She lowered her head and gazed down at her bloated body. At that moment, her pale face was devoid of any expression. Thud! She turned around and threw herself onto the bed.
She prayed silently to let herself fall asleep quickly, thinking that she would be able to meet Chris in her dreams and ask him why he would treat her like that.
I’ve always waited and looked forward to a warm and blissful relationship with Chris, and I thought it was finally time we had that. Unexpectedly, he gave me the exact opposite of that. I feel numb and void of emotions. How devastating.
“Chris Sanders, I hate you!” She slowly closed her eyes as she muttered.
The next day, Nina had not awakened yet when she heard someone knock on her door. Thus, she closed her eyes after briefly opening them. After all, she did not have the energy to respond to the person who knocked on her door.
Then, Nicole’s voice traveled from the other side of the door. “It’s breakfast time, Nina. Nina…”
However, Nina closed her eyes and did not respond to her.
Nicole, who was standing outside the door, began to worry about her. She became more anxious and knocked harder on the door. “Nina… Nina…”
Maya, who was in the bedroom next to Nina’s, heard her mother’s voice and came running. When Maya noticed Nina was not responding to Nicole, she also became worried and knocked on the door as well.
“Nina, have you gotten out of bed yet? Respond to us if you are awake!”
“Nina, Nina…”
Maya’s and Nicole’s voices only made Nina feel irritated. She then pulled over her quilt and wrapped herself under it.
On the other hand, Evan walked out of his room when he heard the noise. He also became concerned when he saw the locked room. At the next moment, he decisively smashed open the door.
After that, the trio entered the room and found Nina lying on the bed, buried under the quilt. Then, Nicole quickly removed the quilt and saw Nina closing her eyes and remaining motionless in bed.
“Nina, Nina…” Nicole tried to wake her up. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and looked at the people standing beside her bed. She then exclaimed impatiently, “What are you doing? I just want to sleep for a little while longer. Is this something I can’t do?”
Nicole was taken aback. “Nina, we’re just worried about you because we’ve been knocking on your door for a while, and you haven’t answered. So we’re worried that you—”
“Are you worried that I’ll take my own life? He was the one who abandoned me! Why would I want to end my own life?” Nina yelled uncontrollably.
Nicole was rendered speechless. When she saw Nina acting like that, she couldn’t help but feel enraged and heartbroken.
“If you’re not going to take your own life, then live your life to the fullest! Look at your scruffy and battered face. You’re not behaving like my daughter at all!” Evan exclaimed.
“How can I live my life to the fullest? I don’t even have the energy to do that. My heart feels empty, and I’d be in pain even whenever I breathe. I… I’m sad. I’m devastated!” As Nina spoke, her tears streamed down her cheeks.
“You fool! Everyone had gone through a breakup at least once in their lives. Do they all act the same way you do, wanting everyone in the family to be concerned about you? Did you think it was appropriate to affect other people’s lives solely because of your breakup?” Evan responded.
“I didn’t want to affect the lives of other people. You should not be worried about me at all! All of you should go away and leave me alone!” Nina cried.
“If you didn’t want us to be concerned about you, you should stop causing us problems! You’re my daughter, and you should pick yourself up and get back on your feet. However, if you wish to continue to disgrace yourself in this manner, you will leave this house immediately. Your mother and I will just pretend we didn’t have an ignorant daughter like you. You are free to go wherever you want, and we will no longer be concerned about you!” Evan stated.
Nicole yanked Evan’s arm instantly, thinking his words were too harsh for Nina.
