章 146: Opening Up (1)

Everyone assumed that change in my behavior and lack of response was because of the trauma. They thought I would recover over the period. It didn't happen. My condition only worsened. At that time no one in my family knew that there was something called post-traumatic stress disorder. On top of that no-body expected me to have it." I revealed.

Eshan silently listened. His fingers would occasionally caress my face, and he would adjust the hot water bag.
