Chapter 118 - Not hungry (1/2)
He did not take the mask because she threatened him with money, but because she reminded him that it was him that hit her. He continued to hold the breathing mask to his face but looked at Lena. Her left cheek was red. Of course, it was red, he didn't even hold back his strength.
”Does it hurt?” Kris removed the mask away from his mouth.
Lena touched her cheek. OBVIOUSLY, IT HURTS! But she was worried about Kris and Jane that she did not really felt the pain until Kris asked. ”No. I got shot before so this is nothing.”
Kris put the mask down now that he was breathing fine. He looked out to the door that was closed. ”How long are you going to hide? Your patient would have been dead already if it takes you that long to respond.”
Tye opened the door and smiled. He scratched his head. ”Hah.. I was just waiting to make sure the coast was clear.”
Tye arrived earlier but he dare not interfere with such a sweet moment! He was not like Collin. Tye walked up to Kris with his doctor bag but Kris walked to him instead.
”We'll do it in another room.” With that, Kris left and Tye followed.
Keso apologized to Lena and head out as James came back. James came back with an ice pack and he handed it to Lena. Lena thanked him. She looked at Gary and then on the wet floor. Lena told James to go get a mop so she could clean up the area.
Tye followed Kris to their normal talking room. Kris sat on the sofa and Tye went and do his normal routine. He checked Kris' pulse and blood pressure.
”You need to relax your arm so I can get a correct reading.” Tye explained.
Kris's arm was tense because he was angry. He had been doing well with Lena the past three days for the sessions but just one touch from another woman, and it made him feel like nothing has changed. Tye could feel what Kris was thinking. He had told Kris that if he continues to perform well, in the next few days they can try with another woman.
However, with the event from today, their plans may be delayed. Tye can tell that Kris was making lots of progress but there was something strong emotionally inside him that he needs to break out of.
”You're fine. We'll skip the session today.”
Tye saw that Keso entered the room with some gloves. He tossed Kris a pair and put on his own. ”Don't kill each other, please. I don't have any more materials to clean up the blood.” Tye pointed out before he left.
He saw Lena just outside the door. Lena walked up to Tye. ”Is he alright?” She was holding an ice pack to her cheek.
”He's fine. Are you okay?”
”I am alright.” Lena smiled. ”I'll go back and stay with Gary then.”
Lena went back to check on Gary. She removed the ice pack from her face and placed it on the table. She looked at Gary and was concerned about what will happen after he wakes up. Lena was always a cheerful and more uptight woman and that made her move passed her trauma. She continues to strive to be stronger.
