Just as she was about to give up, she noticed that a door leading from the bedroom to a small balcony outside was open. Loraine pushed it open, and immediately, she was hit by a strong smell of alcohol.
Empty bottles of wine were scattered all over the floor, and on a rocking chair nearby lay Marco, his gaze empty and fixed on the distance, his face devoid of any emotion and exuding an aura of desolation and coldness.
Loraine’s heart ached and anger flared up within her at the sight of all these. She quickly strode over to snatch the wine bottle from his hand, and threw it to the ground. It shattered with a loud bang, finally catching Marco’s attention. He turned to look at her, his face blank.
Immediately, the words of reproach Loraine had wanted to throw at him froze in her throat. Instead, she leaned over, touched his forehead with her hand, and said softly, “Stop drinking. It’s not good for your health.”
Marco gazed at her for a while before letting out a bitter, self-deprecating chuckle. “You saw the trending story online, didn’t you?” His voice sounded rough and hoarse.

Marco let out a bitter laugh. “It’s unlike my grandmother to act this way, but Marina and her mother are different. They would go to any lengths to work in their favor.”
Loraine silently berated them and gazed upon Marco’s drained countenance, her heart aching more intensely.
If not for his concern with his so-called family, Marco, being image-conscious, wouldn’t have hidden away in solitude, drowning his sorrows in alcohol.
She offered him solace by gently patting his shoulder, causing Marco's eyes to shimmer. Hi yajcetaspy, lhe cpignetcusi inde, regret not
