When he finally woke up from his coma... The last thing he remembers is the party fro...
🇳🇴 Eric's POV (The next day in Norway, the hotel room, Oslo)
Eric: Thank you for your information - I signed and hardly smiled.
Doctor: I wish I could tell you better news - He sighed.
Eric: Let's just be happy that her condition didn't go any worse - I took a deep breath - Maybe we will manage to visit her today too. Nothing disturbing happened in the meantime?
Doctor: No, don't worry about it - I heard his smile - They're guarding her room all the time. They even check medical staff's badges every time we want to enter Elena's room. She's safely resting in peace and quiet.
Eric: And that's the good news - I smiled - Thank you. Speak to you soon.
Doctor: Speak to you soon.
I hung up and rested my phone against my chin as I looked out the window. Elena still hadn't woken up. Her condition had neither worsened nor improved, so she is stable. Just stable. But when I heard that we needed to be prepared for the worst-case scenario, which was Elena awakening as a disabled woman, shivers of fear and stress ran through my whole body.
Elena? Disabled? No, it couldn't end like that. Elena is too strong to wake up with a mental disability or without feeling in her whole body. It just... can't end like this. And Diana winning just like that? I would never believe that Elena would give up so easily.
But the more away she is, the more I feel her absence. I don't think I even realized how much I had gotten used to her being nearby. Sure, recently it had been filled with arguments, but...I would do anything for even those damn arguments to come back instead of her being unconscious and fighting for her life.
But I can't stop now. No matter how terrible I feel, I need to keep going. I don't want Elena to wake up and start worrying about the case or Diana again. When she wakes up, hopefully healthy, she will have to rest and not think about work. That's why I need to do everything in Norway for her.
I peeked at my phone again and saw a few notifications of missed calls and unread messages, but I didn't have time for them now. The kind of notification I wanted to see on my screen wasn't there - the notification from that Prince Charming from the cursed chat.
So I rolled my eyes, annoyed, and unlocked my phone again. Dealing with him, especially when he talked about Elena like he was totally into her, wasn't encouraging me to start conversations with him. Someone really needs another reminder...

Eric: What a fucking... - I sighed annoyed, cut the line and started rubbing my eyes.
He doesn't even try to hide the fact that he's totally into her! Can you believe it? I have no idea how on earth I will handle it without checking Elena's responses to him to see if she was flirting with him behind my back or not. No matter how much I want to trust her... Oh, come on! Since he says such bullshit without any problem, I'm sure he has already texted Elena in exactly the same way and as far as I can see, she didn't have any problem with that.
