Chapter 755 - The Fake Profile (1/2)

Nicolae left the room and returned a few moments later with a pot of warm tea and two glasses.

”Would you like some tea?” he asked.

Marie nodded silently. She took the cup from Nicolae's hand and slowly sipped her tea until it was finished. A look of despair still adorned her face but at least colors had returned to her face, as she did not look as pale as before.

”Sorry for bothering you again ... I'm truly sorry. I don't know what got into me last night. I couldn't sleep and had to take medication to help me close my eyes, but for some reason, I became very sad. I kept thinking about how my life has become meaningless. And suddenly... I ... ”Marie paused for a moment as if contemplating the fact that now her only family was gone. Her voice sounded hoarse again as she cried softly. ”Besides my mother, I have no one else in this world.”

”I understand,” Nicolae said calmly. ”I am not against people who want death. I think death is the basic right of every human being. Just as every human being has the right to live, they also have the right to die according to their own wishes, when they want it... how they want it. I do not oppose that, so I understand. But I didn't expect that you would end your life before you finished cremating your mother. Who do you expect to take care of all that?”

Marie looked down at Nicolae's words. Tears rolled down her cheeks, and she bowed in shame. ”I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking. I was very desperate last night.”

”We must go to the hospital immediately,” Nicolae decided. ”You should see a doctor to check your mental health.”

Marie hurriedly shook her head. ”I'm fine ... Please don't take me there ...”

Nicolae looked at Marie for a long time to assess Marie's mental state. The girl looked sad, but her face was filled with determination.

The young man was surprised to realize that Marie was indeed very unpredictable. She could turn from sad to fine in such a short time. Was she bipolar? Or was she really used to pretending that she could just switch her emotions that easily? Which one was it?

”All right. So, what do you want to do now?” Nicolae finally asked her. He refrained from thinking too much about it. He will leave in a few days anyway. Right now, he only needed to make sure Marie cremated her mother and then grief properly.

”I want to spread my mother's ashes in the sea as I originally planned ...” Marie answered softly.

”We can do it. Do you really feel better?”

Marie nodded. ”My body is still weak, but that's okay. You took good care of me ... like a doctor.”

”You're lucky the sleeping pills reacted before you cut the arteries in your wrists, so you didn't lose too much blood to cause a fatality. However, I'm not sure you'll be so lucky next time. So, please don't ever do this again. Also, don't take sleeping pills carelessly. You should seek professional help to help you. Find a grief counselor. The hospital will be able to recommend someone to help you.” Nicolae took a deep breath. ”I'm sure your mother won't be happy to know that her daughter turns this way ...”

”I'm fine now. Please leave me. I want to change clothes ...” Marie finally said.

Nicolae nodded, ”Okay. I'll prepare breakfast so you can get a little energy before we go to the crematorium.”

Marie just looked at the man's back when he left her bedroom, unable to say anything. Two weeks ago, he was just a stranger to her... but today Nicolae had helped her so much. He stayed with her during the toughest times of her life and, this morning, he even saved her life.
