It wasn't a secret. Anyone could find out just by checking with the sanitarium.
Theodore had arranged a place for her nearby.
Recently, when some of her patients needed to contact her, she would meet them there.
So there was no need to hide it.
Tyler understood what Sophia was implying.
"How… how is she now?" Tyler hesitated. "Is there anything I can do?"
"Her condition is not good," Sophia said, reviewing her notes and carefully considering what she could and couldn't say. "She just had another episode, a very serious one. I'm considering MECT for her. I heard from Theodore that you provoked her again during the day?"
Tyler was silent.
"Tyler," Sophia's voice was stern. "If you provoke her again, no one will be able to help her."
"Let her go."
Sophia said, "The tighter you hold on, the further you push her away."
Tyler remained silent.
Sophia didn't speak either, waiting for his response.
After what felt like a long time, Tyler spoke. "Without me… will she get better?"
Sophia frowned slightly.
She thought for a moment before saying, "I don't know. But if you continue to provoke her, she won't get better."
Sighing, Sophia added, "I don't know what you're planning, and that's between you two, but Tyler, she needs time to recover."
"Stop this."
"It's not good for either of you."
"She…"
Sophia paused for a moment.
"Theodore said that when Emilia had her episode just now, she had lost the will to live."
"Tyler, do you understand what I'm saying?"
"She doesn't want to live anymore."
Having said her piece, Sophia hung up the phone.
Tyler listened to the dial tone.
Sophia's every word struck him to the core.
Especially the last sentence—
"She doesn't want to live anymore."
