Chapter 229 The Answer

Faye's voice was steady, but the look in her eyes and her hard grip on the water glass revealed her nervousness.

Jake stared at her with a cryptical look in his eyes, and then he raised one hand to adjust his gold-rimmed glasses and said, "I can't give you a definite answer to this question." Faye kept silent.

Seeing her keep silent, Jake smiled gently, "He's been very nice to you?"

Faye took a deep breath and nodded, "Yes."

Jake asked, "He is treating you so well that you are willing to do the things you've refused to do for years?"

Faye pursed her lips and then admitted frankly, "Yes."

She couldn't tell if her feeling for Colin was love, guilt, or something else.

But she was certain that if she had to date someone, she would choose nobody but him.

When this thought popped into her mind, Faye was stunned, and then she smiled.

Jake had observed all her expressions, so the nib of his pen broke the paper of the medical record book.

The office fell silent for a few minutes, and then he said, "Faye, as your doctor, I sincerely hope you can normally fall in love, get married, and have children. But as your friend, I feel a little worried." Faye raised her eyes and asked, "Why?"

Jake said, "You have received a lot of treatment before, and you know that the effect is not very good. I'm worried that your efforts will be in vain again this time."

Faye smiled lightly, "I will never give up before giving it a shot."

Then, she paused for a while and said, "I want to try physical therapy and desensitization therapy."

Jake froze for a few seconds and then smiled, "You have tried both methods before. Physical therapy has too many side effects. As for desensitization therapy, to be honest, I think it is too cruel for you." Faye looked down at the water glass in her hand and said firmly in a calm voice, "It's okay. He has already taken ninety-nine steps toward me, so I want to try to take the last step toward him."

Jake's mouth twitched when he said, "But I'm afraid this step will be very difficult."

Then, they chatted a lot about Colin.

Jake showed great interest in him and even wanted to meet him, but Faye reduced. She smiled with a rare gentle look in her eyes and said, "I'll arrange for you two to meet in the future. But I don't want him to know that I'm in treatment now."

Jake nodded, "Okay."

After the treatment, Jake proposed that Faye should receive desensitization treatment first.

Desensitization therapy was also called scene reproduction.

He would reproduce the most fearful scene in her memory and help her gradually adapt.

Faye had received it a few years ago but had not responded well to the treatment because she was not only afraid of the car accident but also of the bad family atmosphere after her father had cheated on her mother.

It seemed to be a little problem, but these things had taken root in her memory since she had been a child, so it was hard for her to accept it.

When she left the psychological clinic, Jake sent her off in person.

The nurse who had received Faye walked to Jake with a medical record book in her hand and asked in a low voice, "Dr. Thomas, does Miss Nash fall in love?"

Jake said meaningfully, "Yeah. I thought she could never fall in love."

The nurse said, "Miss Nash's beloved man must be very outstanding, right?"

Hearing this, Jake looked down at her, took off his glasses to wipe them, and said slowly, "You're fired. Don't come to work tomorrow."

The nurse was stunned to hear this and said, "Dr. Thomas, I..."

Jake put on his glasses silently and strode away with a gentle look on his face.

Faye drove straight to the company after leaving the clinic.

As soon as she entered the PR department, she heard a few colleagues gossiping.

"Medical negligence? How is that possible?"

"Mr. Baldwin is so rich! Why did he go to such a cheap clinic?"

"Did he offend some big shot? I think he was murdered!"

When they were discussing, one person suddenly saw Faye, so he hurriedly coughed to remind the others.

Immediately, all the people sat upright with embarrassed expressions in silence.

Mr. Baldwin?

Andrew?

He was dead? Medical negligence?

Faye felt suspicious but remained calm on the surface, and then she pretended not to hear their words and walked into her office.

After she made a cup of coffee for herself, Galen knocked on the door, pushed it open, and walked in, saying, "Good morning, Ms. Nash."

Faye asked, "What's up?"

Galen put down some documents, looked at her, and said, "A bunch of trainees will make their debuts soon, and there will be a press conference. We are asked to help them." Faye smiled, "Okay."

Then, she hesitated for a while and asked, "Galen, do you know what happened to Mr. Baldwin?"

Galen replied, "I heard that he went to a small clinic and died of medical negligence. Acute cardiopulmonary failure due to air embolism."

Faye asked, "Air embolism?"

"Yeah, it sounds pretty scary," Galen nodded and then pursed her lips.

When she was about to say something more, Faye's cell phone on the desk suddenly rang.

Faye glanced at the screen and saw Rebecca's name, so she picked up the phone and said, "What's up, Rebecca?"

Rebecca said, "Faye, where are you? Tanner got in trouble on the shooting site."
