Rebirth of the Wife in Despair

Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Vera Was Preparing Supper For Eric

Eric woke up and found himself drenched in sweat, his heart still heavy with the pain of losing Eileen. The emotions from his dream felt overwhelming-sadness, depression, and heartbreak engulfed him, leaving him breathless. He could not believe that a mere dream could evoke such intense feelings, especially with the unexpected twist of Eileen’s death and his own heartbroken demise alongside hers. It all seemed too absurd to be real.

“Eric, you’re awake!” Vera’s gentle voice brought him back to reality.

“No,” Eric replied quietly.

“Okay,” Vera replied softly, noticing Eric’s discomfort. She held his hand tightly and remained quietly by his side.

Just then, a knock came at the door. Eric opened his eyes and directed his gaze towards the door, granting permission to enter.

“Mr. Eric, it’s time to eat. Are you feeling better?” Sharon entered the room.

Eric’s heart sank for some reason. “I’m feeling better. Where is Eileen?” he inquired.

Sharon responded, “Eileen is eating downstairs! Would you like me to call her for you, Mr. Eric?”
