Chapter 38: An Old Dream II

At Zane’s question, Ewan sighed tiredly and rested his head properly against the headboard, his eyes choosing to focus on the ceiling.

"You already know the answer to that, Zane. She was my savior, all those years ago. She was also a good friend of mine too... before the accident... from what I can remember."

"Remember?" Zane’s eyes widened in incredulity.

"Ewan, you lost both the memories of that unfortunate day and the years before that. Practically, you have no memory of your childhood. So, how are you sure Fiona was your friend?" Zane took a seat on the soft yet firm hospital bed.

"You are right, Zane. I don’t remember anything really... but sometimes, the memory of that day pops up in my dreams." Ewan inhaled softly, before meeting his friend’s gaze.

"That’s how I know what happened, and the sacrifice she made."

Zane was nonplussed.

He trailed his eyes over Ewan. What was his friend talking about?

"You can’t be serious, Ewan. How do you know the dream is the real deal? It might be a hallucination. It might just be a mere dream."

Ewan shook his head. "It isn’t. I just know it isn’t." He paused. "Even if it was, how can it show up this morning, clearer than before...?"

Zane frowned.

"Please don’t tell me it’s a sign for you to let Fiona go unpunished, after what she had done; after she had almost cost you the company and the health of your people?"

Ewan looked away.

Of course, he knew what his friend was talking about...

If Athena finally cancelled the deal they made, his company will return to that restless state it had been a night ago—at the verge of closure—and he will have to bury a lot of his people.
