She's My Sleeping Pill

These past few days, while Cayenne and Stefan was busy with their life, doc Nelson was also busy dealing with Rissy. To undergo proper treatment, he already established the foundation to help her heal the emotional wounds.

On the day that Cayenne and Stefan visited with the doctor to Rissy's home, he already helped her acknowledged the traumatic events in her life. As part of her treatment, she needed to face her present life and see how things have become during the time that she was mentally absent.

She already learned that the criminals have paid for their crimes and even their families weren't left unscathed. Many people were angry in behalf of her and many people sympathized her. And to make most of this opportunity, Chris asked Cayenne's parents if they still remembered Cayenne's classmates. He investigated them and everyone who bullied her. He compiled everything and placed it on the flash drive for the doctor to use.

"See? It's not just those criminals." Doc Nelson stated while showing her the videos on his laptop. "I gathered information about your former classmates who bullied you and I know this isn't something you want to happen but, know that someone will punish those unkind people."

Rissy watched the videos of her classmates and her eyes went wide when she saw their current life. One of them was put in jail for bullying someone until that person died from a nerve shock and a blood clot in its brain. Another classmate of her was living poorly in a countryside. Others were now drug addicts and some were married but were domestically abused. All in all, none of those who bullied her have lived a good life. 

"Is it really okay to feel happy for their messed-up lives?" Rissy asked the doctor softly. Her eyes were still lingering on the laptop which showed the information about her former classmates.

Doc Nelson smiled as he closed the laptop to stop her from thinking too much about them. "Of course, it's not okay to feel happy about it but, I won't stop you from feeling it either. After all the bullying you have suffered, this punishment was even lighter to what you have experienced."

"But you know doc, I'm still having nightmares of the day that I was kidnapped."

"Didn't you see your boyfriend when he came to rescue you? He was there. He came for you."

"I didn't see him." Rissy answered honestly. "I didn't even know that he was right beside me the whole time I was hospitalized. I have no idea."

Doc Nelson took a deep breath and gave her a gentle pat on her shoulder. "You didn't know because you were afraid but I want you to acknowledge this fact as well. Chris was there. He looked for you for several hours when you didn't come back home. He traveled far and wide to get to you as soon as he can and when he found you, he punished those criminals. He put some clothes on you and brought you to the hospital. He stayed with you and guarded you with his life. He never left your side even after what happened."

"I see. Thank you for letting me know doc."

"No problem." Doc Nelson stood up from his seat and smiled at her. "I'll come back in a week to see how you are doing."

"Hn. I'm looking forward to know my progress as well."

Doc Nelson went out of the room and found Chris leaning on the wall outside her bedroom. "Go and talk to her. You must let her know about your future plan."

"Thank you for your help."

"No, problem. I'm in debt of Mr. and Mrs. Dumrique so, you don't need to be grateful for my service."

"Whether you are in debt of them, I am still grateful."

Left with no choice, Doc Nelson just nodded his head and left the place. Chris came inside right after he left and found Rissy looking at the box of letters from her students. None of them spoke for a while but their eyes held the deepest understanding between them. Her eyes no longer looked empty or lifeless unlike before where Chris felt like he was talking to a doll.

Meanwhile, Magnus was no longer taking the passive side of the attack from his cousin. After losing several millions, he counterattacked and made some fatal destruction in his cousin's business.

"Hmp! As if I'd let you ruin the future that I have laid out for my son." Magnus muttered while looking at the stocks and shares in front of him.

The last time his cousin attacked, he focused on the shipping lines, making many partners withdrew their cooperation with the Dumrique and went to work on a rival company. Magnus suffered a huge blow after that but, he wasn't disappointed. He accepted the challenge.

"Make sure that you defeat that ingrate! How dare he make a move against us in our turf!" Ferdinand angrily hit the floor with his cane while standing beside his son. "He should be grateful that I didn't kill him back then!"

"Don't worry dad. Everything will be fine. Leave this to me. I will never allow this man to give Cayenne and Stefan another problem."

"You better be! My granddaughter-in-law has been so stressed lately which was why she can't get pregnant."

Magnus looked at his father and frowned. "What does this have to do with her pregnancy? It must be because of Stefan that she can't get pregnant. That son of mine didn't want her to have a baby this soon."

"No! It should be because she's very stressed with problems! Don't reason with me. Eradicate this maggot as soon as possible."

"Yes, dad. I will. I will. Just give me time. And besides, this person will surely attack another part of our businesses. Let me slowly exhaust everything he has."

"Whatever. Just make sure that he won't have the chance to inflict worry in my granddaughter-in-law's mind. If he will, I won't let you off."

"I know. I know. How about you go home first and rest at home."

"Hn. I'm leaving." Ferdinand didn't stay longer and left to go back to the villa. 

As soon as he was gone, the other trusted people inside the room was shaking their heads. Now, they knew which person among the family should be pleased at all cost. Cayenne was sitting on top of the pyramid and if she's displeased, the rest of the family will probably cause a war.

"Sometimes, people can be really blind. Didn't they know what happened to the Rule family?" Magnus' secretary stated while keeping his eyes on his computer.

"Even if they knew, some people still think that they have the chance to ruin the Dumrique family." the head supervisor from the marketing department commented.

"Ha! The young master didn't even spare his cousin. Did they think that he'd spare other people who will cause her harm? Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!" 

The rest of the people sighed.
