Chapter 492 - Giving Strength (1/2)

”Nobody wants any of this to happen. But your baby is gone. Now, you have to take care of yourself,” Tara doesn't know how to comfort Anya. She was pretty awkward herself and didn't know how to calm others.

Anya felt her heart ache, making it difficult for her to breathe. Her hand gripped her dress tightly and said with a pained face, ”Tara, that kid must be blaming me. I am their mother, but I couldn't protect them...”

”No! Your child knows that you love them so much. He or she knows you were fighting your hardest to protect their life,” Tara could only keep patting Anya's back. ”Your child must be as good as you. And I'm sure they can understand you.”

”I really want to die. I feel guilty about not being a good mother. It's because I'm too stupid. with Aiden beside me, I thought nothing could hurt me,” Anya couldn't control herself and cried bitterly.

Losing a child was like stabbing a knife in her heart without pulling it out. It was very painful.

She couldn't blame Maria, she couldn't blame Aiden or anyone.

Anya blamed herself for not being able to protect her baby. She was the one who killed her child.

Tara felt that Anya was trapped in her thoughts and depression and was unable to come out.

She felt guilt, regret and blame herself.

When she entered Anya's room, Tara knew something was wrong with her attitude. Anya just sat quietly while staring at the window blankly.

Many cases of depression started with pessimism and self-blame. Anya even wanted to die to pay for her sin for not being able to protect her child.

Tara was really worried that Anya was so depressed decided to commit suicide.

”Anya, the one who abandoned the child was not you, but their father, grandfather and aunt. Why should you blame yourself? You have fought for them, you begged and even fought people who tried to harm you for the safety of your child. You've done everything you can. This is not your fault! You are innocent!” Tara said while shaking Anya's body.

Suddenly, Anya stopped crying. She lifted her head and looked at Tara. ”Am I innocent?”

”This is not your fault. This is someone else's fault. Don't punish yourself for the wrongs done by others,” Tara said.

At that moment, a knock on the door was heard. Tara patted Anya's shoulder gently. ”I will open the door. Don't cry anymore.”

Tara opened the door and saw Nico standing in the corridor breathing hard.

”Fireflies... you were asking for them,” he said from between his breaths. He gave the glass glass he was carrying. Inside the glass were several fireflies that emitted tiny lights.

Tara immediately raised her hand and gave Nico a thumbs up. ”Good work. You can go home now.”

”How is her condition?” As soon as Nico knew that Anya wasn't his aunt, he felt his throat choke every time he wanted to say the word 'aunty'.

”I'm trying to calm her down. I don't know if it works or not. Otherwise, she needs psychiatric help. She is depressed and wants to kill herself,” Tara took a deep breath.

”What?!” Nico's eyes widened with surprise.

”I will go back. You need to go home,” Tara didn't talk much to Nico. She didn't want to leave Anya alone for too long. ”Anya, look at this.”

Anya turned and saw the glass bottle in Tara's hand.

Tara turned off the room light and made the fireflies sparkle in the dark. Anya's eyes are fixated on them.

She put the bottle in Anya's hand. ”Isn't this beautiful?” Tara asked.
