Chapter 49 Faye's Past
Chapter 49 Faye's Past
Hank's face was pale, he sat in the corner of the corridor with one leg straight and the other curled.
Fortunately, Faye's house was one elevator for one household, so no one saw Hank's rude sitting posture.
Faye stepped forward to him, "Hank?"
When Hank heard Faye calling him, he stiffened and raised his head suspiciously. He laughed at himself when he saw Faye, "I'm starting to have hallucinations." Faye frowned and smelled the smell of alcohol.
Hank stretched out his hand to hold Faye's hand when he saw her frowning.
Faye stepped back instinctively and the drunk Hank suddenly sobered up a lot, "Faye?"
Faye was disgusted, "Hank, why are you here?"
Hank got up from the ground but almost fell because he drank too much.
Fortunately, there was a wall on his side. He staggered and propped his hand on the wall and barely stood steadily.
Faye had known Hank for more than ten years, longer than Colin.
It was the first time she had seen him like this. In the past, Hank was elegant and gentlemanly.
Hank stood against the wall and smiled, "Aren't you recording a program? Why are you back?"
Faye said, "I just dealt with something at work. It was too late, so I came back."
Hank nodded and said vaguely, "I didn't know you would come back, otherwise..."
Hank didn't say what he wanted to say, "Otherwise I won't be there."
The corridor was empty, and the two stood for a while. Faye took the initiative to say, "Faye, do you want to go in?"
Hank looked at her, "Is this a good time for me?"
Faye, "Sure, we are family."
Then Faye turned to walk to the door and pressed the password with her fair fingers.
When she opened the door, Faye changed her slippers firstly and went to the water dispenser to pour a glass of water for Hank, then put it on the tea table. Hank staggered in from the door. He smiled when he saw the water cup on the coffee table, "I bought this set of water glasses with you when you moved." Faye said with a warm and unfamiliar smile, "Yes."
Hank walked to the sofa, picked up the water glass, and took a sip. Then he looked at Faye with the water glass in his hand, "How is your relationship with Colin now?" Faye, "Not bad."
Hank, "Tell me if he treats you bad."
Faye, "OK."
Then they fell into silence again.
Faye went to the balcony to play with her flowers and plants. Hank looked at her from behind with a water glass.
After a while, Hank said in a hoarse voice, "I'm... Getting engaged."
Faye stopped playing with her flowers and plants, turned back, and said to him with a smile, "Congratulations, Hank."
Hank held the water glass tightly, "Anything you want to tell me?"
Faye, "No."
Hank lowered his head and said with scarlet eyes, "The Farrells think you like me."
Faye was shocked, "Sorry for causing you trouble."
Hank, "Have you ever liked me?"
Faye, "No."
Hank laughed at himself, "If I knew you could marry someone you didn't like, I should have told my grandfather that I wanted to marry you at the beginning."
Hank drank too much and said boldly.
Faye looked at him without expression two meters away.
Hank said too many words, then raised his head and drank all the water in the glass, then stood up and staggered out the door.
Faye didn't stop him. Hank walked to the door and turned back with his hands on the door frame, "I am getting engaged next Monday and invite you and Colin to our engagement." Faye smiled and said, "OK, I will tell him."
Hank felt sad to see the polite smile on Faye's face. After a long time, he asked, "Then will you like Colin one day?"
Faye said, "Hank, you are drunk."
Hank suddenly came to his senses and laughed bitterly, "Yes, I drank too much and got drunk."
Then he left in embarrassment.
After Hank left, Faye returned to the living room after playing with flowers for a while. And she went back to the bedroom after putting that glass in the dishwasher. Faye did not sleep well at night.
First, she dreamed of Mason, who was sobbing, and then Mason changed to Madam.
In the dream, Madam was not a loving mother at all. She drank heavily, beat her, yelled, and cried hysterically.
Young Faye could only bite her teeth and hid in the corner of the wall without saying a word, allowing her mother to beat her.
After beating her, Madam hugged her and cried in despair, "Faye, your father abandoned us, he had another woman outside..."
In fact, what Faye wanted to say was, "It was okay even if he abandons us, we could still live on."
But in her dream, she curled up and dared not say, for fear of being beaten again.
Faye woke up from her dream with cold sweat at four o'clock in the morning, and she couldn't sleep any longer.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Faye drove to a psychological clinic.
Faye parked the car and came in. The nurse at the front desk saw her and said hello with a smile, "Miss Nash."
Faye nodded slightly, "Is doctor Thomas there?"
The nurse said, "But doctor Thomas has patients now. You may need to wait for a while."
Faye said with a smile, "It's OK."
Faye was very familiar with the clinic because she had been here for many years.
A nurse poured her a cup of water when Faye walked to a lounge.
Faye thanked her and took the glass of water. Her hands were visibly shaking as she drank the water.
Seeing this, the little nurse didn't say anything and remembered it in her heart.
After half an hour, a man in his early thirties walked in and greeted her, "Faye."
Faye got up, "Doctor Thomas."
The man was Faye's psychiatrist, Jake. The two had known each other for about six or seven years. Faye was still a college student when they first met.
Jake took Faye back to the psychotherapy room while the two were chatting.
Jake sat at the desk with his fingers crossed and looked at Faye with a gentle smile, "What's the situation this time?"
Faye took a deep breath, "I recalled my past yesterday when I saw a female artist who was hysterical for love."
Jake nodded, "I told you earlier to try to avoid seeing these scenes."
Faye, "But that is my job, and I cannot avoid it."
Jake understood it. He looked away and saw the kiss mark on her neck, then chuckled, "Are you falling in love?"
Faye blushed when she noticed Jake's gaze, "No."
Jake laughed, "I forget that you have married."
Faye didn't refute, "Yeah."
Jake, "Faye, we are old friends. To be honest, you still need to make a lot of efforts if you want to cure this disease, and you have to believe that there will be many happy marriages in the world." Faye said, "I can't forget my parents died in front of me in the accident on the highway."
