She's My Sleeping Pill

Cayenne and Stefan left the subdivision with the doctor to find Chris. Ever since Chris left the company to focus on his military affairs and his girlfriend, they seldomly spent time with him.

"I'll give him a call so we can meet him." Cayenne said while pulling out her phone from her bag. "I hope he's available right now."

"Why didn't you make sure of it first before looking for me?" Oliver asked in confusion. "Wouldn't it be a waste if we get there and he's not available?"

"He will be available." Cayenne firmly replied. "When it comes to his girlfriend's welfare, he'd always make time."

"Now, I understand." Doc Oliver Nelson didn't say anything anymore and just let Cayenne deal with the call. Not long after, he heard her talking to someone about some place and the time. "We'll be there soon." Cayenne said one last time before the call ended. "We can meet him directly in Rissy's home. Rissy's parents left to deal with some things and he's there to take care of his girlfriend in their absence."

"That's fine, too." Stefan said before instructing their driver where to go.

After half an hour of travel, they finally reached the Chan's residence. As soon as their cars pulled over to a stop, Chris came out of the house to see them. He had a faint smile on his lips when he saw the both of them but that smile faltered when he saw the doctor. He was unfamiliar of the man.

"How are you?" Stefan asked while looking at his former secretary up and down. "You look thinner."

"That's make me the same as your wife." Chris retorted, giving Cayenne a wink. "Come inside. My girlfriend just fell asleep."

"How has she been doing lately?" Cayenne inquired as they followed Chris to get inside the house.

Chris took a deep breath and sighed but he still kept a faint smile on his lips. "There's not much of a progress from her. We can converse with each other but our only conversations were the dates we went to. There were times that she'd react to some news like; when you disappeared, she frowned and cried but when I asked her why, she as just shaking her head."

Cayenne and Stefan looked at each other but didn't say anything about it. "By the way, we found someone who's expert in this field." Cayenne stated and put the focus on the doctor behind her. "He is doctor Oliver Nelson. A psychiatrist who would be able to help Rissy become normal again."

"My girlfriend is not insane." Chris muttered softly but there was a trace of anger flashing across his eyes.

"Look, we're not saying she's crazy and psychiatrist don't deal with crazy people only." Stefan replied instantly to stop Chris from getting angry at his wife. They only wanted to help.

"That's true." The doctor also added in agreement to Stefan's statement. "I deal with different kinds of patients but so far, I haven't dealt with a crazy person." He added which calmed down Chris a bit. "However, before we talk about her treatment and whatnot, I'd like to get a profile of this person and know a little about her past which possibly caused her deep trauma as well as the cause of her current situation."

Chris looked towards Cayenne and then to Stefan, the both of them just shrugged their shoulders which means, they didn't tell anything to this doctor. "We'll let you decide the things to be said." Stefan commented. "If you want, you can talk somewhere private. My wife and I can wait here."

"It's fine. It's not like you are an outsider to me and Rissy." Chris retorted as he shifted his position on the couch. "Regarding my girlfriend. When she was a child, she was often bullied by her classmates and…" Chris started recalling the things that he knew about his girlfriend's life, mentioning everything that could be traumatic to her.

Hearing his words, Cayenne started to get emotional and there were instances that her tears would just fall on her face from so much heart ache. She had no idea that inside the kind, cheerful and passionate woman was a huge scar left from her childhood.

Stefan can't do anything but rub Cayenne's back to comfort her. His wife has very shallow tear ducts. They'd overflow as soon as she felt something so emotional.

Another half an hour has passed before Chris finished sharing the information regarding his girlfriend. "If you want to talk to her a little bit, you'll have to wait for her to wake up." Chris stated as he stood up from his seat. "It would be better if you can get a glimpse of her situation, right?"

"Yes, that's right." Doc Nelson answered. "But it's okay. I don't want to disturb her for now. Besides, I don't want to take so much time of Mr. and Mrs. Dumrique."

"Oh! It's alright." Stefan stated. "I have something to talk with Chris so, we can wait for a while and you can talk to Luiz while waiting."

"That's right." Cayenne agreed almost instantly. She thought it was a better suggestion. Of course, any suggestion coming from her husband, as long as it isn't about their activities in bed, would sound better or best to her.

Since they have come up to this conclusion, Chris just agreed with them. He took some refreshments from the kitchen, gave it to them before he and Stefan walked out to talk in private.

"I have finally caught your father." Stefan muttered while looking up into the sky. "I didn't regret doing so."

"I know."

"All evidences I have delivered to the police station will ruin his entire life."

"I know."

"Won't you regret it not telling him that you are his son? I think it can be pretty shocking to see his son all grown up and doing well after he neglected him."

"I don't need to do that. As long as he stays behind bars for the rest of his life, I don't care. He's only a sperm donor that impregnated my mother. I was raised by my foster father and I owe him my life. I have nothing to do with that bastard."

Stefan sighed in relief and smiled. "I really thought you'd be hesitating but I'm glad you're not. Anyway, I'll see to it that he stays there. Also, regarding your girlfriend, did you tell her that your vacation is almost over? You'd have to go back to the military, right?"

"I haven't yet but I will.. I hope she'll understand."
