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.
