Bye, My Irresistible Love

Helen’s POV:

“Go open up, I believe the technicians are here.” George‘s gentle voice on the phone finally relieved me a bit. When I opened the door, people from the technology department of Zhester Technology were really there. 

After handing the phone to them, George told them what parts to check, and also asked them to switch the lock from smart mode to normal mode. 

I didn‘t know anything about what he was saying but hearing how seriously he was directing them put me at ease. When the technicians were done with their work, they left. I bade George goodnight and was about to hang up. However, George said, “Helen… if you still feel worried, you can just stay at a hotel. I‘m not going to be back for two more weeks, so you can just stay in my suite. Actually you won‘t be spending so much time commuting if you stay there. You‘ll have more time to rest.” 

I could hear the concern in his voice, but I still refused his proposal. 

“Thank you, but that won‘t be necessary. The lock is fixed now, so I‘ll be okay. I’m really grateful for your help tonight,” I said.

 Then I hung up before he could reply. It was late, so I thought I would be tired and fall asleep quickly, but I couldn‘t fall asleep at all, and kept tossing and turning in bed for a long time. It was as though there was an antenna in my brain, desperately scrambling for information around me. The information filled my brain until it was about to burst. 

I‘d been suffering from insomnia like this for weeks and it kept getting worse. At first, I found myself waking up in two–hour intervals, but it had gotten to the point where I barely even slept at all. I worked at the law firm during the day, so I didn‘t have time to think about any other things while working, but when I came home, it all came crashing down, and I would feel exhausted and scared. 

That was when I finally realized the severity of the matter. It seemed something was really wrong with me. My thoughts wandered to my mother‘s mental illness and I wondered if I had inherited it. It was common knowledge that mental illness could be hereditary. With this in the back of my mind, I couldn‘t delay any longer.

 I went to the hospital immediately. I used to come here with my mother for her treatment, so I knew how these visits went. I didn‘t hold anything back from the doctor, so he could diagnose me easily. 

“How long have you been experiencing these symptoms?” the doctor inquired. 

“I‘ve been feeling like this for about two months.”
