The old doctor didn't dare to answer his question, instead bowing his head and asking, "Has the young lady... recently encountered some big shock? I've seen a patient with this situation twenty years ago. Her only daughter got into a car accident. She was so shocked that she fell into a feverish coma, but when her daughter woke up, she got better... This should be a heart condition, and as long as the heart condition is cured, she will be fine."
Heart condition.
Trenton Smith had thought that Norris Moore must have suffered a great shock, but to what extent? He could never understand.
Other people's pain was like a small puddle to him. He could see it and know what it was, but not how deep it was. He had no way of experiencing the torment of the people involved.
He didn't dare guess what Rufus Swallow had done to her that night, and she seemed to have forgotten about it too, acting as if she didn't care.
She even didn't make a fuss with him once.
She seemed so normal.
