His Kindness to Me Almost Drives Me Crazy

I begged, looking into Asher's eyes. I struggled to make him know my meaning.

"I have been working all day. After work, I went to the hospital. My father's condition has not improved. My mother keeps crying. I am so tired. I know you are unhappy, but I don't have the energy today."

Asher shut up with his Adam's apple moving. He didn't find my explanation acceptable.

"But you can't speak to me like this, can you? You haven't been talking to me properly these days."

"Didn't we talk properly in half an hour? I can't understand what Asher's standards are. I am interacting with him depending on his mood."

I reiterated weakly, saying, "My dad has been sick during this period. You know that. Asher, please. Let me sleep for a while before we talk."

My heart was beating fast. I was a little panicked, suspecting that I might die suddenly from overwork in the next second. Weirdly, I had a sense of relief as if I wanted to get rid of something.

"If I die, I won't be so tired, right?"

I lowered my head. Before Asher could say anything, I straddled back to my bedroom and fell into a sound sleep.

However, it was the worst thing I did that day. When Asher was not happy, I acted on my own without getting his consent.

"So, it is my fault that I am awakened by a burst of cell phone ringing in the middle of the night."

Asher wasn't by my side. I didn't have time to think about it. I picked up the cell phone and answered the call.

"What did the staff at the hospital say?"

"What are you talking about?" It was a call from Kellan Shawn, a friend of Asher.

"Sorry, I thought it was my mom." I raised my hands to cover my eyes. Feeling relaxed and somewhat drowsy, I asked, "Is something wrong?"

"How can you ask that?" A female interjected sharply. Jessa Doyle angrily accused me over the call, saying, "Asher said he wanted to jump into a river and killed himself. How come you're still sleeping at home? Are you his wife?"

I was stunned for a moment. Then I hurriedly got up and grabbed my coat before rushing to where they were.
