Lina made sure to wipe away the cold sweat and politely wish Dr. Hayama goodbye so that Shen would have some peace of mind.
"Was the session alright, angel? Were you comfortable?"
Lina rested her head on Shen's shoulder in the car as she finally felt safe enough to close her eyes.
"Well, it was stressful but I expected it to be so. This won't be easy. We both knew that."
Shen rubbed her head dotingly, knowing fully well that some struggles were Lina's alone.
She looked up at her husband with big doe-eyes, opening her mouth to speak.
But he cut her off.
"What is it? What do you want?"
Lina giggled.
Did he really have to read her face so blatantly?
"Hubby...can you drop me to my office please?"
"You just had your first session with the psychiatrist! You should be resting at home and taking your mind off things instead of exerting yourself more!"
Shen was horrified at her request.
