After returning from Riverbend Old Town, Ethan Grant was diagnosed with severe depression and had to be hospitalized for treatnt.
Many people ca to visit him during this ti.
But none of them were Talia Rhodes.
Every ti soone opened the door to his hospital room, Ethan would hold his breath anxiously, staring at the door expectantly.
But each ti, he would lower his eyes and slump his shoulders in disappointnt.
From dawn until dusk, he never saw the person he wanted to see.
Ethan’s heart was in pain, and he thought desperately that his Talia would never return.
Talia, what’s the point of living without you?
...
At dinner ti, Eleanor Madison ca with the caregiver to bring Ethan his al.
The mont she opened the door, Eleanor suddenly scread sharply, dropped the insulated container in her hand, and rushed forward.
"Ethan!"
Eleanor grabbed Ethan, "Ethan, don’t do anything foolish! Don’t scare your mom, don’t be like this!"
Just as she entered, she saw Ethan holding a fruit knife, cutting his wrist!
Eleanor cried, her tears streaming down, "You silly child, why are you so foolish? What can’t you figure out? How can you do this to mom, wuwuwu..."
Blood dyed the sheets red, Ethan’s wrist had a deep cut, and the blood kept flowing out.
Ethan’s eyes were vacant, his expression dazed; he didn’t hear a word of what Eleanor was saying.
His mind was filled with thoughts that Talia didn’t want him anymore, that Talia would never co back.
He was in pain, unable to breathe, feeling life was aningless and not worth living.
It’s so painful, Talia.
The heart really hurts.
The caregiver was frightened and ran out, screaming for help.
Doctors and nurses quickly arrived.
Ethan was pushed into the ergency room.
Eleanor was crying helplessly in the corridor.
"Tragedy! Truly a tragedy! Ethan, how could you be so foolish!"
...
Talia answered the phone from Eleanor as she was leaving the hospital.
Outside, it was minus five degrees; Talia got into the car, turned on the heater for a while, and saw a call from an unknown number.
"Hello?"
"Talia Rhodes, I beg you to co to the hospital and see Ethan, Ethan attempted suicide for you, he was barely saved, the doctor said he currently has no will to live, wuwuwu Everything that happened before was my fault, I apologize to you, could you please save Ethan, he’s my only son!"
Talia froze.
"What suicide?"
Ethan attempted suicide?
Talia seed not to understand.
She couldn’t connect the two words "suicide" with Ethan at all.
A person like him, how could he possibly commit suicide?
Eleanor was crying breathlessly.
"Did Ethan co to see you last night?" Eleanor tried to stop crying and asked.
"Yes."
The sobbing from the other end of the phone started again.
"He passed out in the snow last night, and today when I ca to see him, I entered the hospital room and saw him cutting his wrist, what did you do to him last night? Why would he think of committing suicide?"
Talia frowned, "What could I possibly do to him?"
Eleanor cried, "Talia Rhodes, before I didn’t know you were the Rhodes Family’s heiress, I admit I snobbishly looked down on you before, I apologize, I’m begging you, can you co to the hospital and see Ethan, he has been saved, but he still has no will to live and doesn’t want to wake up, can you please co and persuade him?"
"Sorry, it has nothing to do with ."
Hearing Talia say this, Eleanor instantly beca angry.
She raised her voice and accused sharply, "Talia Rhodes, how can you be so cruel? Don’t you have a heart? Ethan attempted suicide for you and you are so heartless, not even willing to co see him!"
Talia laughed in anger, "I’m cruel? If that’s how you see , there’s nothing I can do about it."
After saying that, she didn’t waste any more words with Eleanor and decisively hung up the phone.
...
Hospital.
Ethan lay on the hospital bed, in a daze, seemingly hearing Talia’s voice.
Talia...
Talia...
He struggled to open his eyes.
What he saw was the white ceiling, the clear pain in his wrist, and the sll of disinfectant and dicine filled his nose.
He moved his fingers slightly.
"Ethan, you’re finally awake! Why are you so troubled, wuwuwu..." Eleanor’s eyes were red and swollen from crying, like a sad frog.
Ethan struggled to speak, "Mom, why is it you? Where’s Talia?"
He clearly heard Talia’s voice just now.
Ethan’s eyes shifted, scanning the room.
His dad, his mom, Zachary Lynch, Wyatt Jacobs, and so of his other brothers were there, even Vivian Coleman who had a big fight with him that morning had co, but he didn’t see the person he longed for.
Hearing Ethan’s first question after waking up was about Talia Rhodes, Vivian looked pained and turned away with tears.
His father Marcus Grant criticized angrily, "Attempting suicide for a woman, how did I, Marcus Grant, raise such a useless son!"
"Say less, the son has just been saved, do you want him to die?" Eleanor turned and glared at Marcus in displeasure.
Marcus had dark circles under his eyes, indicating sleepless nights from worry.
He reproached with a stern voice, "You’ve spoiled him too much, look what kind of person you’ve raised, thinking only about won all day, even attempting suicide over a woman! It’s disgraceful!"
Eleanor wasn’t happy, she glared at Marcus with those red-swollen eyes, "What do you an by saying I raised him this way? Isn’t he your son? Have you done your part? If we really talk responsibility, you’re the most irresponsible father!"
Aaron Lynch quickly spoke up to diate: "Okay, okay, Uncle, Aunt, please don’t argue, Ethan just woke up, he needs to rest quietly."
Wyatt Jacobs echoed, "That’s right Uncle, Aunt, please don’t argue."
Wyatt’s phone played the sound of Talia’s voice.
Ethan froze, his gaze locked on Wyatt’s phone, "Did Talia just call?"
His eyes glimred with anticipation, lifeless eyes suddenly seed to regain a bit of light.
Wyatt scratched his head, "No, the doctor said you have no will to live or wake up, so I thought of sothing."
He then turned the phone screen towards Ethan, which was playing a video of Talia.
It was fild when they had just gotten together, during Talia’s birthday celebration.
At that ti, Vivian hadn’t returned, and he wasn’t involved in any entanglents outside; he truly loved Talia.
Talia also liked him very much, her heart and eyes were filled with him; they were very sweet, just like normal couples, they went on dates, took pictures and videos to capture the sweet and beautiful monts of life.
In the video, Talia was wearing a beautiful dress, with delicate makeup, holding a birthday cake, smiling sweetly at the cara.
"Ethan, thank you for celebrating my birthday with , I really am so happy today."
"This is the first ti I’ve celebrated my birthday with a boyfriend, it’s very morable."
Ethan’s voice ca from the video, "Talia, I’ll celebrate every birthday with you from now on."
"Okay."
So it turns out the voice he heard just now was from the video.
Tears stread down from Ethan’s eyes uncontrollably.
Three years later, things had changed, watching the video made his heart ache.
