Ralph’s words were so shocking that I almost sprang out of bed.
On the other end of the phone, Mark suddenly raised his voice, “What did you say? Who are-”
Ralph had already hung up and turned off the phone.
Seeing me staring at him, he smiled awkwardly and said, “I didn’t mean to say you were dead, but I just thought your husband was being outrageous. His wife got into a car accident and is lying in the hospital bed. No one could get in touch with him. When he finally remembered to call you, he didn’t even say a word of concern. Ma’am, to be honest… Your taste in men is… subpar.”
I smiled helplessly and murmured, “Not only am I bad at picking men, I am also bad at picking out my parents and best friends.”
I was even bad at giving birth to a good kid.
Suppressing my displeasure, I asked, “Is there anything to eat?”
I hadn’t eaten anything, so I was really hungry.
Ralph immediately took out his phone and asked me what I wanted to eat.
I did not have a large appetite, so I just asked him to order a bowl of porridge for me.
However, he disagreed, “The doctor said that you were nutritionally deficient. Forget it, I’ll get you something good.”
I was a little stunned. I didn’t expect that the only person who cared about me was a stranger.
“Thank you. You may leave. You don’t have to do anything more, I can just stay here alone.”
Ralph shook his head, “That’s not okay. It was me who put you in this situation. I am responsible for you.”
I wanted to refuse, but his phone rang, I had no choice but to give up.
After dinner, Ralph poured me a glass of water. I took out the pills in my bag and was about to take them when he snatched them away.
He frowned at the pills with a solemn expression “Is this… Sertraline?”
I was a little surprised, I didn’t expect him to recognize what I was about to take.
Then, I felt extremely embarrassed, as if a secret had hidden for a long time had been discovered.
I pretended to be relaxed and said, “You know a lot.”
He lost his previous liveliness and looked at me closely, “Are you… depressed?”
