Unfortunate Event

Day Eighty-Four…

Nathan was heartbroken and devastated when he heard Jane's decision. It looked like Jane had already given up on them. 

He had been sulking in his room, since last night. He drowned himself in alcohol to temporarily forget his pain. But when he sobered up, his sorrow still remained.

"Dad! Can you open the door?" Ethan's voice snapped him out of his deep thoughts.

Nathan got off his bed and traced his steps toward the door.

"Dad! You smell gross! Did you get drunk last night? Your room–" Ethan didn't finish his words as he covered his mouth and his nose.

Holding his breath, Ethan pushed his father toward the bathroom. "Go and take a bath first. I will call our maid to clean your room!"
