Chapter 139: The Girl In The Picture
"Did you like meeting with everyone, Erasmi? Hmm?"
Demetri silently pushed the wheelchair as he took Erasmi back to his room, chatting on the way," They were very surprised to see you, weren’t they? Don’t worry, they did not make much of a noise because of their shock. Once they have recovered, you are going to have very little time to stare ahead blankly at those white walls you seemingly love. Knowing them, Lucy and Seb are going to be here tomorrow, latest by the afternoon."
"I’d like you to try and get rid of them. Lucy is an expert at making pitiful faces, I’ve been told. He won’t let you get rid of him. Gabe is a bit occupied so I think he will be here sometime later in the week. While Ian... he is going to be a bit apprehensive and curious. I’m going to have to handle him delicately. He is like you..."
Inside the room, Demetri moved his brother from the wheelchair to the bed and slowly walked around the room, talking about random things. It was at this moment, that Demetri realized something and paused. From the window’s glass, he casually moved to the left and realized that Erasmi’s gaze was following his movement. It meant he had improved eye movement control.
Curbing his joy, he moved back to the television and turned it on slowly before turning on something on his phone which he then played on the television.
In the video, Nora turned to stare at the camera as a voice from behind spoke," I am recording your progress. Say Hi."
Nora smiled at the camera and raised her gloved hands, waving at the camera before she moved to punch and kick the punching bag hanging in front of her. The cameraman moved away from Nora so that he could show her entire body as she trained for self-defence. Her kicks were quick and powerful while her punches were direct and strong.
Demetri had watched the video multiple times before he’d convinced himself that she could take care of herself when she offered herself as bait. But fate had shown him, no matter how prepared you were, some things were out of our control.
This time, he did not look at the video but looked at Erasmi. In fact, he had originally thought to use Nora to invoke a reaction from Erasmi but the recent discoveries had shown him a different way.
"She looks a lot like your Nellie, doesn’t she?" Demetri spoke slowly.
