Chapter 38 Anxious Depression
Earl also received the news that Suzy would be a guest singer at “The Shining Youth.” Hence, he hurriedly dialed Teresa’s number.
At this time, Teresa was also in the lounge. She picked up the phone and said with a smile, “Hello, Earl.”
“Did you see Suzy during your rehearsal today?”
“Yes!” Teresa was in a good mood and continued smiling, “I bet with her that we will compete as two groups in this stage. The one who loses will be eliminated directly!”
“Bet?”
Teresa nodded, and she was full of confidence. “Don’t worry! Earl, I will make Suzy lose miserably. At that time, there will be no one to compete with George for the leading position.”
Michael knew that Teresa had been quite worrying. He held back her anger and said, “Do you know that Suzy has learned ballet, classical dance, jazz dance, and all kinds of musical instruments?”
“Her singing is also the best…” When Suzy first entered the entertainment circle, the Carters family was conflicted about whether to let her sing or shoot. Still, Mrs. Carters felt that filming made more money, so she let Suzy become an actress.
Although Teresa’s dance was good, she was not as good as Suzy’s.
Hearing this, Teresa’s face froze. She asked hesitantly, “Didn’t Suzy say in the interview that she can’t sing?”
“How can you believe her nonsense!”
For a moment, Teresa’s hand, which was holding the mobile phone, suddenly froze. There was a hint of viciousness in her eyes. She gnashed her teeth and said, “Earl, I must win.”
Michael immediately understood what she was thinking. Teresa might not be able to win on the surface, but she could play tricks secretly. His voice softened slightly.
“Tell me if you need my help.”
…
Suzy and Victor rehearsed until evening. They didn’t leave until they had dinner in the set cafeteria.
Walking out of the set, they saw it had been drizzling since yesterday. When Suzy was driving on the road, the rain outside the window gradually became heavier.
Suzy’s mood gradually became downcast. During the stormy days, she always thought of herself, who had been imprisoned in the basement for half a year in her previous life.
A feeling of suffocation surged into her heart. Suddenly, the faint scar on her palm appeared before her eyes. Those bloody scenes appeared once again within her mind.
When Suzy woke up and looked up, she found that she had almost run a red light. She suddenly stepped on the brake, and the older man holding an umbrella scolded her car.
Suzy’s mind was a complete mess. All she could hear were Aaron’s humiliating and insulting words…
After returning to the villa, Suzy walked into the house in the rain and went to the bathroom. Warm water wet her body, but it could not ease the fear in her heart.
The rain outside was getting heavier, accompanied by lightning and thunder, as if the entire Somo City would be submerged.
When Evan returned to the villa, it was dark around him. He vaguely realized that there was a power outage. Looking at Suzy’s villa, Evan suddenly felt a little nervous. He quickly got out of the car and walked in.
Evan turned on the flashlight on his phone and hurried upstairs to open Suzy’s room…
The large room was a mess. Everything on the table had fallen to the ground. In the corner, Suzy was squatting on the ground, hugging her head and crying.
When Evan saw this, his heart ached, and he strode over.
As if she sensed something, Suzy raised her eyes. Her eyes were slightly red, and her entire body was trembling. She was even muttering Aaron’s name.
“Don’t come here… Don’t come here. I didn’t kill you. I didn’t.”
Evan held her in his arms and said in a magnetic voice, “Suzy, it’s me.”
Suzy struggled in Evan’s arms for a few seconds. A few minutes later, she suddenly burst into tears. Evan held her tightly in his arms and comforted her softly, “Don’t cry.”
“I saw Aaron. He walked into my room from the balcony. He’s everywhere.”
Evan reached out to wipe away the tears on her face. “It’s all fake. Don’t be afraid.”
Suzy gripped his sleeve tightly. In the dark room, the two of them held each other tightly. After about a few minutes, the room lit up.
Evan looked down at the woman in his arms, his heart aching. Suzy’s hair had not yet dried, and there were tears on her delicate face. She looked like she was about to break.
“Let me dry your hair. Then you shall go to bed.” Evan’s voice was rarely gentle.
A moment later, Suzy nodded her head in a daze.
Evan took her hand and led her to the sofa. He then found a hairdryer and patiently dried her long hair.
That night, Suzy’s mind was a mess. When she returned to the bed, she had fallen asleep in Evan’s arms.
…
The next morning, Suzy only felt a headache. Scenes from last night surfaced in her mind. She rubbed her glabella with a hint of unease in her expression.
Evan slowly woke up and asked, “Are you feeling unwell?”
Suzy clenched the blanket. “I saw Aaron yesterday. Evan, I saw him. Did his soul come to take revenge on me?”
“Suzy, it’s all fake. There’s no such thing as ghosts in this world.”
Suzy looked down. “Really?”Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Sure,” Evan replied. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, “Suzy, why don’t you go see a psychiatrist?”
He clearly realized that if this continued, Suzy would suffer a nervous breakdown one day.
Suzy paused for a moment. A moment later, her lips twitched as she replied, “Okay.”
After washing up and eating breakfast, the two arrived at the hospital. The psychiatrist was still Ervin, and Evan had told her about Suzy’s condition before coming here.
When they arrived at the consulting room, Evan was waiting in the office next door. Suzy followed Ervin in.
Ervin asked, “How was your sleep these past few days?”
“Not good.”
Suzy shook her head. Recently, she had only fallen asleep at two to three in the morning. It was not just because of Aaron’s death but also because of the owner of VK perfume…
“Your symptoms are quite similar to Mr. Hughes’s.”
Hearing that, Suzy blinked and asked, “Evan? What’s wrong with him?”
Ervin turned on the computer and replied, “Don’t you know he has insomnia? In the past, he couldn’t sleep for a few days. I treated him for many years, but he could fall asleep at night as soon as he met you. This is a medical miracle.”
Suzy: “…”
At this time, Suzy finally understood why Evan had asked her to sleep with him. It turned out to be so, but now she felt that it was not Evan who needed to sleep with him, but her…
“Why was Evan suffering from insomnia?”
Ervin pursed his lips. “Well, you should ask him yourself!”
Hearing this, Suzy lowered her eyes and did not ask any further.
Concerning Suzy’s treatment, Ervin came to a conclusion.
Anxious depression. Suzy was hallucinating because of her anxiety and uneasiness. However, this depression was a little strange…
