When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Ignoring his words, I inquired, “Are you still overseas?”

Jackson and I were college friends. After we graduated, he went overseas to further his studies in psychology. As I was quite aloof, rarely contacted my friends after graduating college and marrying Ashton.

He rambled on, “Yes. Where are you? Are you still in J City? Oh yes, how are you feeling?”

I frowned, not wanting to broach the topic. “I’m fine. When are you coming back?”

“Soon.” It seemed like he was drinking something, as he paused for a while before continuing. “You should come to M Country when you’re free. Macy has told me about your condition. I think you might have depression. The symptoms are the same as before. Come to M Country, and let’s catch up.”

Sensing an oncoming headache, I rubbed my temples and agreed, “Okay.”

“Scarlett, don’t take it lightly. You can die from this illness.”

Knowing he meant well, I nodded and muttered, “All right. I know.”

Realizing that Ashton had put down the documents in his hands, I quickly ended the call. “It’s getting late. Good night.”

“F*ck. It’s still daytime here. What the hell do you mean good night?”

Instead of continuing to listen to him, I ended the call.
