The Sleep Curse Page #2

Why are you insulting me?

Who do you think you are?

I'm telling you, you people are pedantic!

Cynical!

Pedantic!

A lady by the name Yau Mong Hei

is out there to see you, Professor Lam.

Dr. Lam.

It's been 10 years, you look prettier than ever.

You still keep that brooch.

You gave it to me; of course I want to keep it.

I just used a hotel souvenir,

nothing significant.

Nothing significant?

Are you trying to say that

I never got you anything significant?

I told you on our first date that

I don't send flowers to women.

Don't tell me you were pissed.

How could I be?

Why did you leave

without saying goodbye 10 years ago?

Let's eat.

It seems you still owe me a tango.

It seems we only dated twice.

Are you talking about another woman?

No, I'm not.

I promised to teach you to tango

on our second date.

- Let me teach you.

- I don't want to learn it.

Are you married?

I'm still single.

So I was right.

Subconsciously, you're fond of me,

but you don't realize it yourself.

You have wasted 10 years of our time.

I already rejected you

on our second date, if I remember correctly.

What I remember is

I never accepted your rejection.

In fact, I came to you for help today.

You must know that Dr. Mella

died in a car crash 6 months ago.

I know.

I happened to have

3 surgeries.

So I didn't attend his funeral.

How did you know about his death?

I had been seeing Dr. Mella all that time.

A medical check-up every 2 years.

Certainly he wouldn't gossip about his patients.

Neither did I want anyone to know that.

You were his student, and I was his patient.

Our meeting in Venice 10 years ago

wasn't a coincidence.

What's wrong with you?

Very few doctors know about this illness.

Even if one did,

he wouldn't know how to deal with it.

You aren't talking about

"Atypical Insomnia", are you?

Once Dr. Mella told me,

that if he died,

the only person who could help me

was his student, Lam Sik Ka.

That is you.

The chance of it being a genetic disease is 50%.

It already killed my grandfather and father.

I'm OK today, but can't guarantee tomorrow.

Actually I've been working on this illness,

but can never find anybody

for clinical experiments.

Finally I've found one,

I didn't expect it would be you.

I'm not the one who needs your help most now.

It's my family.

My brother hasn't slept for 3 months.

"Malaysia"

My grandfather died before I was born.

But I witnessed what happened to my father

when he was ill.

At first he had nightmares every day.

Sometimes he woke up in the middle of his sleep

to hit or yell at us.

Gradually he stayed up all night.

He couldn't sleep,

couldn't walk or speak.

He changed into a totally different person.
