Chapter 700 - Depression (2/2)

”Maybe, Miss Tara's friend loves perfume and likes the perfume you made, Madame,” said Harris.

Anya thought for a moment and then nodded. ”Maybe. Please help me send a bottle of perfume for her,”

…

Around two in the afternoon, Anya just woke up from her nap.

She was afraid to leave the house, but just being at home also made her bored. She did not know what to do.

Luckily, Diana was still in the house. Although she still had to use crutches while walking, Diana looked more active. She spent her time walking around the house or learning to cook from Hana.

Today, she was making roasted sweet potatoes for her daughter.

As soon as she went downstairs, Anya could smell roasted sweet potato. ”How delicious!” She exclaimed.

”You woke up already? I took some sweet potatoes from the garden and baked them. How about sending it to your mom and dad?” Diana said with a smile.

These past few days, Anya had been looking a little sluggish.

She often sat pensive, not knowing what made her mind confused.

The psychiatrist told Diana that Anya's depression had flared up so that she was not interested in anything and that her enthusiasm for doing things she loved waned.

In the past, Anya would lock herself in the perfume room and keep herself busy with the job she loved the most. But now she rarely set foot into that room.

When she walked into the perfume room, she just sat at her desk doing nothing as if she didn't know where to start.

She had no passion for doing anything, no interest or whatsoever. She spent most of her day sleeping, whether on the sofa, in bed, or wherever.

Apart from that, her appetite was decreasing and she no longer liked food as before. Even though the food in front of her was her favorite, Anya couldn't eat it as heartily as before.

During the day, Anya only ate a few spoonfuls of rice before taking a nap.

Seeing that her daughter could only eat a little, Diana took the initiative to make roasted sweet potatoes, Anya's favorite food.

Seeing the golden roasted sweet potato, Anya looked a little happier. She took a photo of the delicious looking roasted sweet potato and sent it to her friends.

Tara was the first to reply.

Tara: ”Please save some for me!”

Nadine: ”Auntie, I want too! Don't spend it alone.”

Nico: ”Uncle, please let me go home early. I want to wrap the roasted sweet potato and bring it home for my fiancée!”

Aiden immediately replied to Nico's message.

Aiden: ”You have to work overtime until 10pm today. If you come home early even just by one minute, I'll take all your leave.”

Nico immediately sent a sad sticker.

Nico: ”Tara, I did my best to get those roasted potatoes. But there is an evil demon who protects his wife and doesn't allow us to get free food!”

Della: ”I'm free today. Can I get a share?”

Raka: ”Della, have you cleaned the house? What about the living room? Have you cleaned it?”

Anya smiled seeing all the conversation. She took her spoon and put the roasted sweet potato in her mouth. However, it was tasteless somehow.

Still, seeing her greedy friends, Anya finally decided to tease them.

Anya: ”These roasted sweet potatoes are so sweet. Luckily, only I can eat it.”

Less than a minute later, Della immediately answered.

Della: ”I'm on my way there. Baked sweet potato, wait for me!”
