5 Minutes ago Doctor Johan was sitting opposite Sean in his study. The distance between the two is limited only by a large glass table containing computers and other office equipment. Someone knocked on Sean's door followed by the entry of a middle-aged woman carrying a tray of tea for the Doctor who would probably be more frequent to Sean's mansion. Marlyn came back out after putting a cup containing tea that still puffed the steam, indicating that the tea inside was still hot. Sean tapped his finger at the table in front of him, making a noise in the silence between the two. He waited for the doctor in front of him to open his mouth to explain how Zee's mental state was.
"Mr Rexford..."
"What happened that put Miss Alanza in this condition?" ask Doctor Johan to start the conversation. Sean stopped knocking his finger on the table and looked at the doctor in front of him flatly.
"I raped her violently because she ran away" Sean replied calmly.
"Before I raped her, she was much better. However, I've seen the scratches he made himself in his hand" Sean continued. Doctor Johan seemed to listen to Sean's words while noting them in the note he carried and occasionally nodded his head.
"Do you know why he hurt himself before he got this condition?" ask Doctor Johan back.
"I don't know any more, but when I fucked her, she made a big bang and cried hysterically. Trisha said it was likely that she had experienced the same thing that caused her depression" Sean replied.
"Have he experienced any drastically changed emotions, hallucinated, panicked, and tried to kill himself lately?"
"Yes... Yesterday he tried to kill himself 2 times." Sean looked straight ahead.
"Listen to what you're saying, he's already at a major depressive level. It's likely he also has severe anxiety disorder as well as symptoms of schizophrenia." Sean was unable to put out any expression in shock at what he had just heard. The more he was curious about the figure of Zee he just knew, the more surprises in it.
"Sorry, did you say that Miss Alanza tried to escape? Where's family?" ask Doctor Johan carefully. Sean stared intently at the Doctor in front of him.
"That could all affect his condition as well. He will likely be better quickly, if with people he trusted or his immediate family. But it also does not guarantee his recovery, unless we see his progress ahead. The percentage of recovery will increase, if the patient feels safe and comfortable with someone he trusts. So, take your trust slowly. Make him comfortable until he can open." Sean listened in silence to what the Doctor in front of him said.
"Patients with mental illness on average have very closed personalities and are hesitant to start a story. So, be sensitive to everything Miss Alanza does and take the initiative to keep asking the news so that Ms. Alanza is encouraged to be more open." Doctor Johan continued his words.
"In the next week I will continue to examine and analyze Ms. Alanza's condition so that I can properly diagnose her illness and administer medication to her" Johan's doctor said.
"Oh and one more thing. Keep his mood in good order, get rid of any sharp objects he could potentially use to kill himself, and don't make him remember about the incident."
"I think that's all I can say for now. Tomorrow I'll go back to check on Miss Alanza." Doctor Johan stood up from his seat after feeling that what he said was enough, as well as Sean who also stood up after hearing the explanation and advice from the psychiatrist in front of him.
"Then I go first" said Johan's doctor, shaking Sean's hand. Doctor Johan came out of Sean's room.
Sean walked up to his balcony and stared at the scene in front of him which showed a vast expanse of land. A long breath sounded out from his mouth. He rubbed his face with rage. How can he take the girl's trust back after what he did. His phone rang indicating an incoming call. Axel's name was seen on his phone screen. He shifted the button to the green color to answer it and then placed the phone on his ear.
"Master, the development project in Valencia is problematic and needs you" Axel said.
"I can't go there now" Sean replied.
"But this-"
"Okay sir, I understand." Sean turned off his phone and put his phone back in his pants pocket.
Ringing the notification of his phone again sounded making him want to not want to check his phone again. An email was sent to her from Axel. He put his phone back in his pants pocket after reading a glimpse of the contents. Let his work be put aside for now, because his main priority now is Zee who needs him. Losing one big project won't make him poor. Sean stepped back into his study room to the room Zee occupied which was the main room of this mansion as well as his room. He opened the door slowly which made a noise. His eyes walked through the empty and neat room with no one in it. Sean got into the room with a furious step. The first door he opened was Walk in closet, not finding Zee there, he was getting inside to the quiet bathroom. The shadow of Zee trying to take his life makes Sean upset. The bathroom door, he opened violently. But again, there was no one in it.
"Dam!" sean shouted in the silence of the bathroom atmosphere.
Sean went back out of the walk in closet and saw someone's back on the balcony of the room from the windowpanes. He stepped in haste to memorize the person he was looking for. Sean hugged Zee's body from behind, making Zee flinch in the middle of his daydream. A distinctive masculine scent was smelled in his sense of smell accompanied by a warm embrace that hugged his stomach. He knew who was holding him.
"I thought you were going to get away from me again" Sean said. The tinge of fear tucked inside her voice could be felt by Zee. But he did not know the look in the eyes of this man to look for lies in his bead.
His chest rumbled again because his heart started beating crazily every time he met Sean. Fear dominated Zee whenever she got close to him, but at the same time this hug was so comfortable and safe that she felt protected. But bad memories again destroy those feelings.
Sean's breath that hit the skin of Zee's open neck made Zee's daydreams scatter. His consciousness is back. He took off Sean's embrace slowly and walked away leaving him without even a single glance at the man standing in place after Zee had left him.
"Honey, where are you going? Don't walk too much, your legs haven't healed properly." Said Sean had stopped Zee's steps that had just been on the side of the balcony door.
Sean immediately approached Zee who stopped stepping with his still swollen legs and then lifted his light body into his sling. Zee was a little surprised and reflexively poked his hand around Sean's neck. However, it did not take long to release him back without staring at Sean. Sean's lips lifted into a thin smile. He walked with Zee in his arms and lowered his body on the bed gently.
"I'll bring you food." Sean's hand stroked Zee's hair before he came out of the room to take lunch for her.
Zee's eyes remained glued to the door that had just closed after Sean came out. He chose to stretch out his body and close his eyes. A few minutes of dreamland had already picked him up.
Sean went into the room with a tray of food on it, staring at Zee's back. His steps drew closer to Zee's body, and the more regular roars of breaths signaled the girl was already deep in her sleep. Finally Sean keeps the tray on the nightstand along with drinking water for Zee to drink when he wakes up. Sean's hand took a note in the nightstand drawer and wrote a message on top of the note that contained :
'After the princess wakes up, eat the food in this tray and take your medicine. If you need anything, your prince is in the room right in front of your room.'
- para mi amor
Sean smiled amusedly with the message he wrote, then pasted the note on his food tray. He pulls a blanket to cover Zee's body to the neck. Sean dyed Zee's hair softly before he left her. Sean grew curious, what kind of expression Zee could give when he had fully recovered.
