Chapter 119: Erasmi- Demetri
Demetri entered Erasmi’s room, relief washing over him to find Erasmi had been placed in a wheelchair. As he moved, he suddenly had a feeling that Erasmi had indeed reacte with a flicker of his eyes. "Erasmi?" he called out, the anticipation in his voice echoing in the sterile room hoping that the slight movement was not his own illusion. However, there was no response. The hope that had briefly ignited began to wane, replaced by a deep sadness.
"Until when are you going to punish me? hmm?"
Demetri pulled a chair closer, his gaze fixed on Erasmi’s still form. "Erasmi?" he called again, a mixture of hope and uncertainty in his voice. The room remained silent, save for the hum of medical equipment.
The man who had been attending to Erasmi knocked and entered at this time, his expression reflecting the weight of the situation. "Mr. Frost, I’ve been monitoring Erasmi’s condition closely.
There’s a pattern we’ve observed—the patient’s blood pressure spiked dangerously twice in the last three months. The last time, he had been on a video call with you and he had heard a woman’s voice. And then this time again when he saw the lady’s picture. It’s as if there’s a deep emotional response to the person related to you. If I am not wrong, the patient had reacted to your wife’s voice in the past."
Demetri’s eyes narrowed, a knot forming in his stomach. "What are you saying?"
The man hesitated before continuing, "It seems there might be a connection between these emotional stimuli and Erasmi’s physical response. Perhaps there’s a yearning, a desire to engage with these familiar stimuli, even if the patient’s current state inhibits a visible response."
Demetri’s mind raced as he absorbed the information. "Are you suggesting that Erasmi wants to see my wife?" he questioned, a mix of confusion and realization in his voice. And something more. He could not arrange for Nora to meet Erasmi. It would destroy Erasmi...
The man nodded solemnly. "It’s a hypothesis, but there’s a possibility that these stimuli hold significant emotional weight to Erasmi. It’s worth exploring, Mr. Frost. It might be a key to understanding and potentially improving the condition."
