Using the last of his sanity, he jerked away from her, and rolled over to the side.
He wanted to get up, but the burning heat all over was so uncomfortable that he was worried he could lose control of himself again.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a crystal pendulum on the bedside table.
He picked up the crystal pendulum and smashed it violently. The crystal was shattered into tiny sharp pieces immediately.
Almost without thinking, he slashed his arm with it directly.
"Ah. What are you doing?!"
When Joyce sat up from bed, she saw such a tragic scene.
The scene of him smashing the crystal pendulum was frightening already.
She wondered what he was going to do when he was so close to a breakdown.
She didn't expect that he would use it to cut himself.
Bright red blood was sliding down his arm and dripped onto the snow-white sheets.
The color of the blood was shocking to the eye.
With the flow of blood and severe pain, Luther finally got some of his sanity back.
The burning heat all over his body also seemed to have found an exit.
His breathing gradually slowed down a bit.
To make sure he could stay awake, he did not hesitate to make another cut.
"Don't." Joyce was startled and rushed out to stop it.
She rushed to him, snatched the piece out of his hand and threw them straight into the trash bin.
She panicked. She looked at the blood gurgling down his arm and had no idea what to do.
Finally, she drew many napkins and scrambled to wipe the blood from his arm.
The more she rubbed, the more she panicked, "We need to stop the bleeding, or you will die for such a blood loss. What should we do? Should we go to the hospital? I don’t have a medical kit in my room. I'll go to your room to get it, okay?"
He suddenly took hold of her small, flustered and busy hands.
"Do you care if I die?"
The burning heat and the pain were repeatedly tormenting him. At first it was the drug, and now it was his blood loss, his consciousness gradually lapsed.
His vision got gradually blurred, and he could no longer see her face.
