Chapter 557: Depressed People

"Mom! I am back!" Lear said with smile as he had finally returned home after being away from for a long time.

But for some reason, the atmosphere around seemed tense.

"What's wrong?" He asked looking at his father and mother.

"We are separating Lear," His father said with a sigh and the news immediately shocked Lear.

He couldn't help but look in disbelief at the two.

"Why?"

"I found someone else," His mother said before introducing another person with a smile on her face, "Meet your step dad."

"Yo! How are you son?"

Lear turned his head and the next instant his eyes widened when he saw Max standing their with a smile on his face as he wrapped his arm around his mother while pulling her closer to himself.

"What are you doing? He is here.." The lady said with a shy face but Max laughed it off, "Don't worry, he is not only my son but my brother as well.."

"Why don't you introduce yourself as his sister-in-law? After that we will have full freedom to flirt in front of him," Max said with an evil smile.

Lear looked at the scene as he slowly shook his head in utter disbelief.

This wasn't happening….this couldn't happen…

"By the way, you are having a Half sibling soon Lear." His mother said with a smile while Max out his hand over her stomach.

When Lear saw it, his knees involuntarily gave in and he fell to the ground with a dead pan expression on his face.

And a minute later, he then began to laugh like a crazy person, "Hahahahah!!!"

It continued for a few second before finally coming to a stop and the Lear suddenly held his head and then grabbed his hair as he screamed towards the sky.

"Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

…..

"Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!"

"Wake up! Goddammit!!" Eren screamed as he shook Lear by his collars but he wasn't waking up at all.

"Stop him! My ears hurt!" Garth said in pain as he held his ears.

"Damn! Even the Commanding Beast's screech was nowhere near painful as this." Zenith said with a miserable look on his face as he held his ears tghtly.

"This piece of sh*t!" Wilson finally lost it. He balled his fingers into a fist and punched the living hell out of him, "Wake up!"

"Bang!"

Lear's scream which was loud enough to be heard around the entire capital finally came to a stop and he woke up covered in sweat and a black eye.

It seemed that he had fainted earlier due to shock.

"Mom! You can't do this to us!" He screamed while looking around only to finally realize that he had been dreaming. He finally breathed in relief.

The relief only lasted for a second though and the next instant he got up and picked the knife in the fruit basket and immediately pointed it towards his own neck planning to end his life. But before he could do so, the people around immediately grabbed him.

"You crazy! What are you doing?!!" Eren looked at him in shocked as he wrapped one of his arm around Lear's neck while grabbed Lear's hand with the knife using his other hand.

The rest of the people too immediately climbed onto Lear and soon he was pinned to the ground as he continued to struggle.

"No!! Let me go!! I can't live this life anymore!! I can't live like this!!!"

He continued to scream and it only confused people even more. They really had no idea how this guy who was having the laugh of his life had suddenly became depressed enough to be committing suicide.

...

On the other side, the person who had almost forced to Lear to death quietly walked downstairs for break fast when she was dumbfounded to see Lesia sitting on one of the tables and waving at her.

If she was here…then who was in there with Max?

"You didn't go into Max's room?" Janet asked as she gulped nervously.

"No, I didn't." Lesia shook her head and gave her an odd look, "Why do you ask?"

"N-No nothing, I thought I saw someone going there. I thought it was you," Janet shook her head and replied.

"I actually saw Elly going in there," Lesia said with a smile.

Janet's eyes widened for a second.

'Elly? Then that girl?'

She didn't know how to react.

'It isn't bad if its Elly I guess…but would she really do something like that?' Janet wasn't sure that Elly would do something like that.

'Will she become my Sister-in-law now?'

Lesia looked at Janet and smiled oddly. She couldn't understand why the girl was in daze right now. But she looked pretty sweet and simple for sure.

Only god knew how Lesia would have reacted if she found out that this sweet and simple looking girl had almost caused her son to kill himself.

Why?

Because she had said it to her son that her mother was apparently making it out with her son's friend…

It would really be a sight to see if the the truth was made known to Lesia.

….

Hotel room…

Max sat there on the bed with both his hand on his head. No one knew what he was thinking. Elly similarly sat beside him with her hand on the head as tears streamed down on her face.

The two knew that what happened shouldn't have happened and were extremely depressed about it.

The two didn't have anything else beside the blanket on them while there clothes couldn't be found in one piece anywhere.

Elly wiped the tears off of her eyes but still couldn't hide the redness them. Besides, she also looked a bit uncomfortable and seemed to be in pain. In the end, she leaned on Max and grabbed his hand. This had obviously scared her a bit and then there was the pain as well, "What do we do now?"

"You should have thought that before pulling my blindfold off," Max really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"I-I.." Elly didn't have any words to define her action. It was clearly her fault.

"It was my fault, you can pretend this never happened."

Max looked at Elly's face not knowing what to say to her while Andriel's laughter continued to rang in his mind. She was probably the one to have enjoyed it more than the actual two person in the act.

'What will you do now?' She asked Max.

'F*ck this, I don't care anymore.' He said with a frustrated face but then soon sighed.

Even though he actually wanted to do what he said, it didn't seem he would be able to do it any time soon.

And with this event, Max's stress and Guilt meter had climbed from 2 to 3.
