Chapter 51 Pretending to Have a Relapse The moment that strange thought popped into my mind , I froze and quickly shook my head to get rid of it .
I was truly losing it .
I couldnt believe that a joke from Natasha had made me start to catch feelings for Eric .
We were just friends ! Just as I regained my focus , Moms call came in , Tanswered , and her anxious voice came through immediately .
Somethings wrong , Jae ! You need to come to the hospital right now ! Elses depression just flared up , and she tried to hurt herself .
She keeps saying its all because of her that you cant come home .
If you dont come , her condition might get worse I couldnt help but laugh coldly inside .
If I went , her condition would only worsen .
But since she was making such a scene , she wouldnt let it go if I didnt go and pretend to care .
I stood up and went back to my room to change .
Eric had already washed the dishes when I came downstairs .
Seeing the frown on my face , he guessed something was wrong .
Do you want me to go with you ? I smiled and shook my head .
No need .
Its just a small thing .
I can handle it on my own .
He didnt press the issue Half an hour later , I arrived at the hospital .
As soon as I reached the door of the ward , I could hear Elsa crying inside .
Mom , Dad , Jack , Im sorry .
Its all my fault ! If not for me , Jane wouldnt be insisting on not coming back ! I shouldnt be your daughter .
Someone like me should just die .
I shouldnt be dragging you down ! Her voice sounded so tragic and woeful .
Mom , Dad , and Jack were all comforting her with sympathy .
Amidst the chaos , I walked in , expressionless .
If you want to die , then go ahead .
Why make such a scene and worry the entire family ? You dont actually want to die .
You just want to use this as an opportunity to get everyones attention and make them think Im heartless , am I right ? I immediately exposed Elsas intentions , and her face turned deathly pale .
Before she could say anything , Jack quickly stepped in to defend her , furiously pointing at me and shouting , Whats wrong with you ? You know very well how fragile Elsas condition is ! If it werent for you , how could she have developed depression in the first place ? Shes even hurting herself , and youre standing here , making cold comments ? I bet you want her to die ! How can you be so cruel ? Cruel ? Back in college , Elsa spread rumors about me , claiming I was sleeping with an older man
.
That led to a huge argument with Jeremiah , which almost ended our relationship : When I went to confront her , she faked a suicide attempt and even claimed to have developed depression after that .
But she wasnt suffering from depression at all .
She was just trying to manipulate people into sympathizing with her and making everyone forget how she had framed me No matter how much I explained , no one believed me .
Although my parents thought I had done something wrong , they still treated me as their daughter .
I But Jack slapped me and cursed at me to leave the Brown residence , all because of Elsa He actually called me cruel now ? She brought this upon herself .
It has nothing to do with me .
Besides , I heard the main symptom of depression is isolation .
