The doctor replied, "Genetics increases the tendency o f developing the disorder."
Jay grew more concerned about Angeline’s condition." How can I prevent it?"
"You must ensure that she stays away from negative emotions as well as prevent her from paying too much attention to her eyes since that might only make the situation worse. In other words, prevent as much priming as possible.”
Jay nodded. "Alright."
The maid brought in a bowl of congee for Angeline. However, she brought it out completely untouched a moment later.
Her hunger strike had Jay’s concern spiking.
That day, he decided to cook for her himself. He made her a bowl of chicken soup.
As he entered the room with the bowl of chicken soup, Angeline turned to stare at him in shock.
"They said you haven't eaten a grain of anything ever since you woke. What are you trying to do?" While Jay's tone was tinted with a slight ounce of reprimand, it was driven by more of exasperation than anger.
"When will you send me home?" she asked plainly.
The fact that she could not wait to leave him had Jay crying without tears.
He had successfully driven her away.
Yet why did his heart feel like it had been torn apart?
"I'll send you back when you can stand on your own two feet and walk freely. I'll send you back when you can take care of yourself again."
Angeline berated him pitifully, "Please don’t treat me s o well if you don’t have feelings for me anymore. You know I can’t reject you."
Jay's attractive eyes dimmed.
He had always been a man of principles. It was not like him to go against them.
Yet with her, he found it difficult. He wanted nothing more than to force himself to leave her, to shorten her pain and rip the bandaid off in one quick go so that she could grow and prosper on her own.
However, he found himself wavering every time he read the pain in her eyes. He found himself giving in t o her... He let her hope.
