To prevent Alla from attempting suicide, Gordon Collins ordered his staff to secure her to the bed with chains on her wrists and ankles. The woman on the bed remained silent and lifeless, devoid of any reaction, simply gazing out at the sea through the window. The servants, tasked with her care and surveillance, could not discern what she was thinking; they only saw the constant stream of tears from her eyes...
She cried all the time without making a sound, so silent that she seemed barely alive. For a week straight, she refused to eat or drink, seemingly intent on starving herself to death...
But Gordon Collins wouldn't let her die. Nutrient solutions were continuously pumped into her body, keeping her alive by a thread...
When George was changing the nutrient solution, he caught Alla's empty gaze and felt a sudden tremor in his heart. He waved his hand in front of her, but she had no reaction, leading him to realize her eyes had lost their sight.
