Chapter 13 After a few seconds of beeping , the dean's warm and cheerful voice came through . " Hello , Mr. Raymond . I don't expect you to be calling so soon . Has Noelle had another episode ? " Just hearing that voice was enough to send her back on the electric shock bed . The nurses seized her by the neck to keep her from escaping as the current stabbed into her temples like sharp knives , tearing through her flesh and blood , until the suffocating agony of near - death engulfed her . Suddenly , a warm touch spread across the back of her hand . " Noe . " The soothing warmth in his voice melted the ice around her withered , broken heart . With trembling hands , she clutched tightly at Mitchell's sleeve . Raymond told the dean about Noelle's arm . After a moment of silence , the dean spoke plaintively , " Is that what Noelle said ?
