Chapter 33 Don't Give up on Me
Matilda's heart got tense.
Not a single light was on downstairs, and the noise became more pronounced in the darkness.
It was like someone was pouring something. It was rattling. Matilda could even imagine that the hands
were shaking and could not get it out.
“Have you come back, Aaron?” Matilda ventured to shout.
Suddenly the air was quiet, and then a sound of something falling to the ground. Matilda, standing at
the top of the stairs, was surprised to hear the sound and quickly pressed the switch of the light.
The dazzling lights suddenly filled the living room. She was shocked by what she saw.
Samuel was curled up in a corner under the sofa, and a bottle had fallen at his feet, with white pills
spilling over the floor.
He was going to pick up the pills on the floor when he suddenly felt the light turn on. He had to cover
the harsh light in front of him, and his eyes were horribly red.
Matilda paused for a moment, then approached Samuel and said, pretending to be natural, “You are
taking medicine. Why don't you turn on the light? What if you fall down in the dark?”
She poured Samuel a glass of warm water, then squatted down to pick up the medicine bottle on the
floor, and glanced quickly at it. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
At this glance, her hand trembled, almost making the bottle fall down again.
It was the anti-depressant drug. During her stay in the country, she asked the doctor, and the doctor
said that if too much of it was taken, it was easy to become drug-resistant.
Insomnia, irritability, mental instability...
She raised her head and looked at Samuel's bloodshot eyes.
He took the bottle in her hand, poured two of it naturally, and ate it with Matilda's warm water. He
smiled at her.
“Did I frighten you? I came down to take medicine. I fear to wake you up if I turn on the light, but I did
not expect you would come down.” Samuel looked at her with faint remorse in his eyes.
“How long has it been?” Matilda said suddenly.
“What?” Samuel asked.
“How long has this been going on?” Matilda found herself unable to control his anger and raised her
voice.
Samuel was stunned and then gave a wry smile, “From the day I knew you ‘died’.”
At first, he couldn't sleep. He was fine during the day, but at night he had to take sleeping pills. Later,
the sleeping pills didn't work, and more and more violent desires grew in his heart.
Regret, pain, remorse mixed together, so that he wanted to smash something or bleed. He was afraid
of hurting the children, so he asked a doctor for medicine.
In recent years, the doctor advised him to go to see a psychological doctor for treatment many times,
but he had been negative, and it had been delayed until now.
Even though it was only one sentence, Matilda was trembling with anger.
Although it was not her idea to leave him at the beginning, she hoped that he would take care of
himself and have a healthy body to live with the children.
But it was only been a few years and he had turned himself into this!
Did he think she would forgive him for this?
No! No way!
She took a deep look at the man standing in front of her with closed lips and turned away without
hesitation.
She didn't talk to people like that!
But the next second she was dragged into a hard but warm embrace.
