He frowned at the pills with a solemn expression, “Is this… Sertraline?”
I was a little surprised, I didn’t expect him to recognize what I was about to take.
Then, I felt extremely embarrassed, as if a secret I had hidden for a long time had been discovered.
I pretended to be relaxed and said, “You know a lot.”
He lost his previous liveliness and looked at me closely, “Are you… depressed?”

I shrugged and took the pill.
Yes, I’ve been depressed for many years and it was getting worse.
The door suddenly opened. I raised my head and saw Mark rushing in with a nervous look on his face.
He held my shoulders and checked to make sure I was okay, then he breathed a sigh of relief, ” Honey, you scared me to death.‘
I looked at him calmly.
Before this, I would have been happy to see him being so nervous about me. Now, it just felt like he was being extremely hypocritical.
Sophie walked in from behind him. She cast her gaze on Ralph, and as soon as she turned the other way, an idea shined in her mind.
She said with a distressed look on her face, “Lily, even if you are angry with us, you shouldn’t make someone lie and say you are dead. Did you know that Mark went to the funeral parlor and almost went crazy finding you? It’s good to see you’re doing fine. Your friend here is too much. How can you make such a joke?”
Her words made Mark’s face darken.
He looked at Ralph with hostility and asked, “Who are you? Why did you lie to me that my wife was dead?”
Ralph’s mocking eyes glanced over the pair. Although he didn’t say anything, his look was extremely insulting, as if he was saying, ‘If you really cared, how would you not know that your wife was hospitalized due to a car accident for two days?’
Mark held my hand guiltily, “I’m sorry, I really didn’t know you were in a car accident.”
I withdrew my hand indifferently, “It doesn’t matter, you’re my ex–husband. You don’t need to know about trivial matters.”
