In a mother's world, her child always comes first. At this moment, Liang Chen's mother was completely devoted to doing whatever Liang Chen wanted, prepared to discuss anything. She coddled Liang Chen, saying, "Chen, you've slept for such a long time and haven't eaten anything. You have to eat something now, otherwise how are you going to recover?"
As she said this, Liang Chen's mother took up the spoon, offering food to Liang Chen like he was a small child.
Liang Chen looked at the porridge now near his mouth, pursed his lips and turned away. Finally, he spoke the first words he had said since waking up, "Mom, I don't even want to live anymore, why would I eat anything?"
Liang Chen's mother, having been nerve-wracked for a whole day from Liang Chen's attempted suicide, was utterly terrified by his words. It was as if her heart had stopped. She had barely managed to save him from his previous reckless act. How could he still be harboring thoughts of death?
