There was a sound of intense fighting outside the door.
In my daze, I seemed to hear Leo’s voice.
“She’s severely depressed now! Severe depression! She needs treatment, not to be
locked up in this cramped room. She’ll go crazy! Do you want her to die?!”
I wasn’t sure who won this fight.
But I guessed it was probably Jack, because if Leo had won, he would have taken me
away.
Just as I was losing consciousness, I heard Jack’s crying.
“The doctor said her depression was caused by me. The best treatment plan is to let her forget me, to leave me.”
He let out a painful wail.
“You think I don’t want to treat her? I do! But if she gets better, she’ll leave me. She’s mine, she can only stay by my side for this lifetime. She loves me so much, forgiveness is just a matter of time. She’s not allowed to go anywhere…”
Jack gave me glucose injections, forcibly keeping me alive.
After Leo’s failed attempt to rescue me last time, he didn’t give up.
He started to compete with Jack for control of the company, trying to pull Jack down from the position of chairman.
The dual pressure of career and love almost made Jack suffocate. That night, he sneaked into my room.
Seeing that I wasn’t asleep, he put away his sharp edges and sat down dejectedly by the bed, like a fragile puppy.

“Mia, I’m sorry.”
He lowered his head, apologizing to me for the first time.
“I know I neglected you before. I’ll change. Can you believe in me one more time?”
A sickly hope ignited in his eyes.
“Once you’re better, we’ll have a proper wedding ceremony. You love the sea, don’t you?”
“We’ll have the wedding by the seaside. From then on, the three of us will live happily together, okay?”
I quietly waited for him to finish, then smiled sardonically and gave him the middle finger.
“No thanks, I can’t accept that. You should go marry Ella quickly. You two are a perfect match.”
“Mia, don’t be like this. I haven’t contacted Ella for a long time. If you don’t like it, I won’t have any contact with her in the future, okay?”
Jack grabbed my hand pleadingly, but I shook it off mercilessly.
I sneered.
“Jack, aren’t you pathetic? Ella doesn’t like you, so you chase after her. What, now that I say I don’t love you, you start pretending to be devoted to me?”
“Your love is so cheap. A scumbag like you doesn’t deserve to be loved.”

Jack grabbed my hand pleadingly, but I shook it off mercilessly.
I sneered.
“Jack, aren’t you pathetic? Ella doesn’t like you, so you chase after her. What, now that I say I don’t love you, you start pretending to be devoted to me?”
“Your love is so cheap. A scumbag like you doesn’t deserve to be loved.”
“Let me tell you a secret. Ella was only after your status, she never loved you.”
“Neither did I. Only an idiot would fall in love with someone like you.”
Jack’s eyes turned bloodshot, and he started breathing heavily.
My last words were undoubtedly the final straw. Jack instinctively grabbed my neck.
He roared.
“You’re lying! You’re not Mia at all. Mia loves me. Who are you? Give Mia back to me!”
He increased the force on his hands, laughing maniacally.
“Hahaha, you’re not Mia. If you die, will Mia come back?”
