"Tell me more about what happened after, when you wake up." Tye asked.
"I kicked her out of the room."
"How did you feel? Angry? Were you having trouble breathing? Did you start shaking uncontrollably again?"
"I…" Kris tried to recall his emotions. "When I first realized that it was a woman on the bed, I was shocked and I panicked. When I realized who it was it… I was scared and angry?"
"Why? Could it be that even though she does not look like your mom but something in her reminds you of your mom?"
There was a long pause as Kris tried to ask himself and find the reason. He knew that being directly honestly with Tye was the best way for Tye to properly help him.
"My mother likes her. She won"t visit my grandparents anymore, but she would go to visit Lena Shen. I… Ugh.." Kris pulled his hair and laid back on his chair. "I fell like a stupid kid,"
"Why?" Tye was confused.
"I was scared and angry because if I hit her at that moment, she might go tell my mom. And I can"t get rid of her like the rest of the others."
Tye and Collin tried to keep a poker face and not laugh. They had to be serious… this was a serious therapy session.
"Aish… why does my mom like her? She"s like a walking rose, pretty but full of thorns, poking everything as she walks." Kris sat up and his eyes got darker. "She"s not even like a woman."
"Maybe that"s it! You don"t see her as a woman. She feisty but also soft... like Hugh." Tye theorized.
Kris paused and laughed. "They are similar."
Tye stood up. "I will put you back on your medicine. Just some small dosages for safety precautions. Every time you see her now, just think of Hugh. I know we have tried mental re-imaging before, but it might really work this time."
Tye wrote a prescription to Collin. He looked back at Kris. "Ada, you might have had a relapse again, but I think it"s not a step backward, but forward. You didn"t harm anyone, and that"s a first."
Tye walked out to the door. He slightly closed the door so just his head could be seen by Collin and Tye. "And I was right. Miss. Lena Shen is a G.o.dDESS!" He slammed the door shut and ran away before Kris could punch him last time he said that.
"I want a new therapist."
"Tye has been working on your case for many years now." Collin defended Tye.
Tye was a genius doctor in his field. However, he was somewhat a crazy doctor with wild theories that are often correct. He does things that are unexplainable but still worked. He initially took Kris"s case as an interest. Along the way, they both developed a budding relations.h.i.+p.
Tye had discovered that Kris had a mother complex since the start of their therapy sessions. But there are more factors that played into his emotional well being. When Tye first saw Kris, he was a robot.
Kris was a young adult, with no emotions. His eyes always stared at people like there were dead or were going to be dead. There was a team of professionals who first treated Kris. They had to restrain him in every session they had. They tried all different kinds of medicine and even shock therapy.
Tye was the first to step out and start treating Kris like a human instead of a patient or subject. He learned that Kris started responded to their development. From then, he was the only one who continued to treat Kris.
Ever since their group of friends gathered around Kris, he had improved and been more cautious to emotions. But the man still had a while more to break free from his chains. Kris"s only reason to continue such torture was the simple goal of embracing his mother.
If something were to happen to Madam Li, they would not know what will happen to Kris. Would all their hard work go down the drain? Or would he take the easy way out?
Tye sighed but hurriedly exit the elevator. His handsome vegetable was still waiting for him. Today was bath day.
Lena"s day at her office was unproductive. The events of last night and this morning kept disrupting her thoughts. The only thing she got done was getting her program set up. LUX will be here next week for their first official meeting. Andy and Eva already sent in their designs for their wedding rings.
And there was Ming Zhao. Lena had not heard from him since the shooting. Just this morning when she got into the office, Ming Zhao texted her that he needed a favor from her.
Lena was exhausted. She put her head on her desk and knock it a few times.
"Did you turn crazy?"
Lena looked up and saw who it was. "Hazel!"
Hazel walked over to Lena. "You didn"t go crazy right?"
"No!" Lena got up and hugged her. "Ah…. I really needed that."
Hazel propped out an expensive wine bottle on Lena"s desk. "I thought you needed a drink."
"I can"t." Lena stared at it. "I am still in my healing process until the end of the week."
"Aish…well, I need one."
Hazel sat down and popped open the bottle. She got up to where Lena kept her gla.s.s cups and grabbed one for herself.
"Why are you… stressed?"
"I am worried about my cousin."
"Andy?"
"Mhm…" Hazel drank one full gla.s.s in a gulp and poured another one for her. "I think… that b*tch is trying to sleep with him."
Lena sat down on her chair. She drank water instead. "Why so? That"s normal."
"But you know Andy… he"s not a man to get laid until he gets married… You even tried it on him a few times remember?"
Lena suddenly spurted out her water and coughed. Those were her embarra.s.sing moments blinded by love.
"Andy has changed since he met Eva… but he"s so adamant about his chast.i.ty. Boring men..." Hazel complained.
"Eva does not seem like the girl who would do that." Lena speculated.
"I thought so too! But I think… I think it is my auntie who is telling her to do so. They have been… so close lately."
"Oh?" Lena kept her poker face and poured another drink to Hazel. Lena was interested in what Hazel knows.
"Before, Auntie Yang would always leave the house if Eva was visiting. She dismissed all the workers so no one would serve Eva. But now, she even bought Eva an apartment and started giving her some weird herbal medicines."
"Maybe she had just accepted Eva as her daughter-in-law. You are just thinking too much. Worry about your own single-dog life." Lena spoke, but she knew what exactly was going on between the dragons.
