Chapter 1028: Self-deprecation 2 Chapter 1028: Self-deprecation 2 Being aware of one’s own problems means one hasn’t become utterly hopeless.

Earl Carter’s voice became even more gentle, “Do you still want to continue being controlled by drugs? You should know the more you debase yourself, the more Chloe Johnson will be arrogant and elated. She wants you to willingly fall into depravity because your downfall hurts not only you but also your sister and your younger sister.”

Yes, Chloe Johnson relished in her sister’s pain.

Her current state was all thanks to Chloe Johnson’s doing.

“I don’t want to be controlled by drugs. I want to get clean, but…” Evelyn Garcia said in agony, “every time the craving hits, I can’t control myself. I wish…”

Evelyn bit her lip and didn’t finish her sentence.

“Do you want to quit quickly or take it slow?” Earl asked directly.

Without hesitation, Evelyn replied, “The quicker, the better!”

“If you want it quick, you’ll have to endure more torment and pain than others. For the next half a month, I won’t let you have contact with anyone. I might even tie you up or use more painful methods to help you get through the toughest days. Are you willing to accept this?”

Evelyn nodded vigorously at Earl Carter, saying, “I’m willing. I’m not afraid of suffering. If I do anything beneath myself when the drug addiction strikes, just beat me to death!”

“I won’t do something like beating you to death, but making you feel worse than death, that I can do,” Earl said half seriously and half jokingly.

After finishing, he reached out his hand to Evelyn.

Evelyn looked at Earl Carter and suddenly felt a surge of confidence about getting clean. After a moment’s hesitation, she reached out her hand.

Earl held her slightly cold hand and pulled her up from the floor.

The two stood face to face.

Earl said, “I’ll find you something to do to distract yourself when it gets tough.”

“Are you leaving?” Evelyn asked with innocent wide eyes.

Seeing her dependent expression, Earl knew she clung to him as if he were a lifeline, fearing he would abandon her.

He gently replied, “I’ll be back soon. I’ll personally supervise you in the coming days.”

Hearing his affirmative answer made Evelyn feel much better.

This unconscious dependence on this man, when it began or how it came to be, Evelyn didn’t even know herself. Moreover, she was unaware that her behavior was a form of reliance and unconditional trust in this man.

She believed every word he said.

As to whether they were true, she had never sought to confirm.

Of course, for Evelyn Garcia, Earl Carter’s identity was genuine, and he was her Benefactor. Those two facts were all that mattered. Any additional trust naturally stemmed from these.

Following that, Earl spent most of his time with Evelyn.

The next day when the drug craving hit Evelyn hard, Earl stayed by her side, encouraging her to keep going and not to give up. Despite the medication that could have eased the pain of withdrawal, Earl refrained from administering it, as the more they used it, the longer detoxification would take.

If the decision was to quit as fast as possible, it was necessary to be as resolute as possible.

At her worst, Evelyn even picked up a Fruit knife and attempted to cut her veins; fortunately, Earl managed to stop her in time.
