Chapter 853


    Chapter 853 Depressive Outburst


    Benjamin and Denise did not stay long at Lina''s ce.


    After Magus'' appearance, Denise spoke a few words and excused himself.


    In the hallway, Denise and Benjamin walked together when Magus followed them out and said, “Wait a


    moment.”


    Upon hearing the voice, Benjamin and Denise turned around and saw Magus walking straight toward


    them. Benjamin immediately stepped in front of Denise and asked, “Is there anything else?”


    Magus watched with a hint ofplexity shing through his eyes as he noticed the subconscious


    action.


    After sizing them up, Magus spoke, “I came out to tell you not toe looking for her again. No matter


    what methods you use, I won''t join you.”


    Benjamin chuckled lightly. “You''re really overthinking it. If we really wanted to persuade you with this,


    we would have tried to convince Lina when you weren''t here earlier and have her be the one to


    persuade you. Wouldn''t that be better?” Benjamin asked, but his expression then turned serious. “You


    were thinking too much. We didn''te here for you.”


    Magus looked at him with a mix of doubt and belief.


    Just then, Denise came out and looked at him. “Magus, do you know what illness Lina has?”


    Hearing this, Magus''s eyebrows furrowed. “What do you mean?”


    “Thalia''s boyfriend is an incredibly talented doctor known as the “Miracle Healer” in the medical field.


    Many people want his help with their illnesses, but he''s not that easy to hire. Yesterday, Thalia visited


    the doctor to ask about Lina''s condition and sent the information to her boyfriend. Lina originally


    wanted her boyfriend toe and help, but our problems were unfortunately too distressful, and he


    couldn''t make it here. However, he clearly stated during the phone call that Lina''s illness is not a


    Regarding depression, there happened to be an actor ying a character with depression in the


    previous film Denise was in. When Denise watched the scenes on set, she often found herself moved


    to tears. As a result, she gained some understanding of the illness.


    Sometimes the person may seem fine, but their life could be at stake at any moment.


    Standing opposite, Magus narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing her words. After a moment, he


    asked, “What exactly are you trying to say?”


    “What I mean is, you''ve spent so much money on her treatment and apanied her throughout, so


    she should have improved. Do you know why her condition has actually worsened instead of getting


    better?”


    “Why?” Magus asked as she seemed to stir his emotions.


    “Because the money you earn doesn''t give her a sense of security. She''s constantly on edge, fearing


    that something might happen to you while helping her with her medical treatment. She can''t ept this


    reality. As a result, it only adds to her burden.”


    Magus listened intently, his brows furrowing.


    No one had ever said these words to him before.


    At this moment, Denise stared at him intently. “Magus, you could say that you used the money you got


    from deceiving others to pay for her medical treatment, but the illness ultimately drains her life. This is


    the retribution for your actions. What you''ve done has led to her being like this!”


    Magus''s expression became even more serious and grim. As he looked at Denise, he was unable to


    speak for a long time.


    Benjamin also added, “Magus, we all know that you''ve been hurt, and we sympathize with what you''ve


    lost. However, this cannot excuse you from staying stuck in the past. You need to try to move on. I


    suggest you find a proper job. Even if it doesn''t pay as much as you''re earning now, at least she will


    feel at ease. Otherwise, you might not even be able to keep Lina alive. As someone who understands


    depression, you should know their life and death can be a matter of a single moment or thought.


    Sometimes, you can''t even see what the problem is. A small trigger can set off her emotions.”


    At this moment, Magus was being directly criticized by the two children, and he could not refute them at


    all.


    Seeing him remain silent, Benjamin spoke, “That''s all we have to say. Take care.”


    After saying that, he turned his head to look at Denise and said, “Let''s go.”


    Denise nodded.


    And so, Magus watched intently as the two children walked away.


    He stood there, somewhat unable to snap back to reality.


    Denise''s every word seemed to strike at his mind and heart. He had never considered these questions


    before. At one point, he even thought the doctor might be doing it on purpose.


    So, it was all my fault... Hehe...


    A cold smirk appeared at the corner of Magus'' mouth.


    He had done and offered so much but never expected it was all because of him.


    In the hallway, his emotions were indescribably conflicted and ironic.


    When Benjamin and Denise headed outside, Denise said, “Sigh, he''s actually quite a pitiful person.”


    Benjamin listened and said indifferently, “There must be something detestable about a pitiful person.


    Even if it wasn''t his fault at first, the fact that he let this mistake continue until today is his problem.”


    Denise listened and nodded. “Yeah, you''re right, Ben.”


    “We''ve done everything we could. As for the oue, it''s up to his own choices,” Benjamin said.


    “Yes.”


    “Let''s go.”


    The two chatted as they walked out.


    As they exited the corridor and turned, Denise almost bumped into someone, but she fortunately


    stopped in time.

    Benjamin looked at her. “Are you okay?”


    Denise shook her head. “I''m fine.”


    Lifting her head, Denise looked at the person and apologized, “Sorry!”


    However, the person simply lowered their gaze and nced at her, the corner of their mouth curling up


    in a half-smile. The person replied with “You''re wee” and left.


    That person was speaking Chanaean.


    Denise stood there, looking somewhat dazed.


    Benjamin looked at her. “Keep walking.”


    Denise snapped back to reality and looked at Benjamin. “Ben, does that person look familiar to you?”


    Upon hearing her words, Benjamin looked toward the person''s silhouette and shook his head. “I don''t


    recognize him. Why do you ask?”


    “Howe I feel like I''ve seen him somewhere before?” Denise asked.


    Benjamin did not take it seriously. “There are quite a few foreigners around here, and they all look more


    or less the same. You must have mistaken him for someone else, right?”


    Denise furrowed his brows. “Really?”


    “All right, let''s get going. They''re still waiting for us in the car.”


    Denise listened, nodded, and followed Benjamin as they walked out together.


    However, Denise could not help but mutter to herself while she walked.


    Where on earth have I seen that person before?


    On the other side.


    After they left, Magus did not rush inside. Instead, he leaned against the corridor wall and lit a cigarette


    to smoke.


    All he could think about were Denise''s words.


    The little girl looked quite young, yet her every word hit the nail on the head for him.


    One could say he was even less clear-headed than a child.


    Just then, a passing nurse saw him smoking and immediately spoke up to stop him.


    “Smoking is prohibited in the hospital. Don''t you know that?” The nurse asked.


    “I''m sorry, I forgot!” Realization struck him, and he quickly apologized. With that, Magus put out the


    cigarette.


    The nurse could not help but mumble a few words before leaving.


    Magus stood still as he apologized profusely. When he looked up and saw the figure standing not far


    away, he felt as if lightning had struck him.
