Kathryn was puzzled."I'm sure he must've gone mad," Tally said. She concluded that it was the only reason that could possibly explain his current behavior.Kathryn and Tally were discussing in front of the hospital's entrance. Kathryn was still talking to Tally when Chris arrived at the hospital to pick Kathryn up. "That must be it. He must've really gone mad. I would've lost my mind as well if I was him.""Why?" Tally's mind went blank when she heard what Kathryn had said.She wondered if she had really crossed the line. She didn't think she had done anything at all. She found herself self-condemning in terms of both conscience and morality. After all, Markus had seemingly lost his sanity because of her."How can he not lose his mind? He has lost both his relationship and his money."Tally was speechless. She admitted that she had made Markus lose a lot of his money. However, she refused to admit she was responsible for Markus' relationship.She seriously corrected Kathryn
Tally hastily hurried toward the hospital's rooftop.The layout of the hospital building was quite weird. There were no elevators to the last three floors. She had to climb the stairs.Breathless from the climb, she scaled the stairs, acknowledging her insufficient exercise during her office routine. Upon reaching the rooftop, she discovered a lack of any notable presence."Huh?"Didn't Markus tell her that he was going to jump off the building? Tally wondered why he wasn't around at all.Enraged and furious with his behavior, Tally believed Markus would be on the rooftop if he intended to jump off the building. Her confusion grew as he was nowhere to be found.Where else could he be? Was he planning to jump off from the ward's window?Exhausted, Tally's mental faculties were slowing down, making it challenging for her to think clearly. She tried to figure out the most plausible location where Markus might contemplate jumping off the building.Her phone suddenly vibrated. Takin
Victor confirmed that Tally had gone to witness Markus attempting to jump off the building. He was left speechless regarding Markus, unable to believe he would employ such a tactic to lure Tally to him.He wondered what Tally felt when she went to check on Markus on the rooftop. Tally had no desire to witness Markus taking the leap, yet she harbored resentment for how he had tricked her. Despite planning how to convince him not to jump, she nervously braced herself throughout the journey, only to discover she had been fooled. Thankfully, everything was okay. It was a good sign.They continued their conversation for a while before ending the call. Victor's concerns about Tally visiting Markus at the hospital had dissipated.He finally sensed how emotionally insensitive Tally was.Tara was beside Victor. She noticed how Victor kept smiling after the call and didn't understand why. "What are you smiling at?""I'm laughing at Markus. Byron has a very interesting brother," Victor s
During Tally's time with the Albert Group, she had to go to many places every day for her work in sales.She might have been the Johnson family's only daughter, but Randall was strict with her when she was learning at the Albert Group. As a result, she couldn't afford to drive her car most of the time to save money.Back then, she was in excellent physical shape. How had she become physically unfit after returning to the Johnson Group for a few days?Tally was already displeased from the outset. Now, she was enraged after hearing the tone Markus used to speak to her. "It's none of your concern. What's the matter with you? I thought you wanted to jump off a building. Is this where you plan to do it?"Markus was rendered speechless.Henry, who was pouring water for Markus, was equally speechless.They were stunned by Tally's preposterous complaint and resentful tone. Her attitude and tone made it seem like it was wrong for Markus not to jump off the building today.Henry was stunn
However, sensing something might be amiss with Markus' mind, Tally opted not to be overly direct. Inhaling deeply, she struggled to contain the stifling emotions in her heart and asked, "So, everything okay with you?"Markus asked, "What do you think?"Tally said, "I think you're fine. After all, you are…"What about him? Tally thought of bringing up the old days in the Albert Group.The thought crossed her mind that Markus might be grappling with some mental distress. Consequently, she refrained from expressing the words that were on the tip of her tongue. Revisiting the past under these circumstances could have adverse effects on Markus. Tally felt caught in a difficult position.Markus heard her. Looking at her coldly, he asked, "What am I?"Tally was silent.Cold-hearted, ruthless, sharp, and discerning—these were words she had used to describe Markus when she was in the Albert Group.Tally took a deep breath. "Nothing. Tell me. Why did you call me?"Struggling to contain
The audacity of the man! Tally believed Markus had no right to comment on her views about love and relationships. She was about to go ballistic.She wanted to give Markus a piece of her mind. However, she considered how mentally unstable he was. If she provoked him and couldn't handle it properly, it would raise questions about her morals."I don't want to talk to you anymore. I'm leaving."She must have been crazy to go to him after what he said on the phone. Moreover, if he did take his own life, it wouldn't be her business either.She gave up. She admitted to having a savior complex toward this matter. Consequently, she had suffered a great loss just to feed into this savior complex. She vowed never to give in to her savior complex again.However, as her hand touched the door handle, she heard Markus say from behind, "I want to eat oatmeal and sausages for breakfast tomorrow.""What does that have to do with me?""Remember to bring them by 8:00 am!"Tally said, "Haha! What d
Henry couldn't help but sigh, "This is a matter of the heart.""I-I will pay the money back. I will transfer it to him once I get home." Tally was frightened when she heard Henry mention it involved matters of the heart.She swore she was never this vicious.While the incident might have seemed brutal, she wouldn't have taken such drastic measures if Markus hadn't posed a threat to her. Her actions were not intentional, and she should not be held responsible.Henry was apprehensive about it. "Okay, it's settled then. Tell him to monitor his account. I will return him the money."Tally scurried off the moment she finished her sentence.She looked like she was escaping. It was as if she would have blood on her hands if she were a second slower.It wasn't until the elevator doors closed that she regained her composure.She was so angry that she clenched her fists. She murmured to herself, "Damn, was this really my fault?"Following Markus' charade, Tally couldn't shake off the
But why would that happen?Byron was familiar with his brother's demeanor, particularly his indifferent attitude toward women. While Tally held a somewhat unique place in his brother's life, it didn't appear likely that he would lose his sanity over her. Byron remained unconvinced that Tally was the cause of his brother's apparent mental state.However, Chris continued, "Tally went to the hospital anxiously. She even told my wife about Markus taking his own life.""Today?"Byron was shocked.Chris replied, "Yes, it happened this morning."Byron found himself at a loss for words. He couldn't stay calm anymore. His brother had a history of causing concern, but the current situation seemed utterly absurd and beyond reason."No way!" He still couldn't believe it.Chris knew this incident was hard to believe. He felt the same way, let alone Byron.However, Tally had been avoiding Markus like the plague. She wouldn't have gone to the hospital unless something this big had happened.
