[TRIGGER WARNING: A topic about depression is discussed here. If you are uncomfortable about it, please skip the chapter.]

"You see… Zhang Ren has depression and he almost attempted suicide until I caught him. He said he wanted to leave Country S—desperately… that is why I did such lengths to hide every personal information about him and put him there in City S in Country C instead… until he says he's okay."
Shi Lian still couldn't believe what she has heard. With her talking about Zhang Ren with Mr. Chen, she was still in a daze in the bathroom even after the call had ended.
Mr. Chen told her about Zhang Ren having a toxic family background back in Country S, his father specifically putting so much pressure on him since he is the only child, a male at that.
Mr. Chen told him that at first, it was okay for Zhang Ren to be pressured by his father because he has his mother and his grandparents to back him up.
