Wrenna's heart thumped furiously although she seemed calmly asleep. Her eyelashes batted subtly as she waited for Damian to approach her.
She had butterflies in her stomach ever since she heard the door open. She was not sure if the air-conditioner was cold enough since she started sweating as every second passed.
It took a good one minute before she heard Damian move at the door.
Her body heated up in thrill and panic as she sensed him walking over and finally stopping in front of her.
Wrenna frowned and opened her eyes slowly as if she just woke up.
She grunted softly and blinked her eyes at him.
“You're home?”
Speaking, she stood up and went to give him a hug.
Everything stood still. Damian did not even hug her back.
Wrenna's arms tightened around his waist. “Damian...?”
Is he not going to do anything?
Does he really have sexual dysfunction?
Wrenna was already thinking about going on therapy together at this point.
Just as her mind was wandering, Damian lifted her off the ground and put her on the bed before pulling the blanket over her.
“Wren, I still have some work to do. What about you sleep first?”
Wrenna was really disappointed. She did not expect Damian to turn her down so blatantly. She felt it was her fault that he did not find her attractive.
“Sure, don't work too late...”
Damian smiled at her and planted a kiss on her forehead before he left.
Right after he disappeared out of her sight, Wrenna grabbed the blanket in her arms and a deep frown carved on her brows.
He must be really frustrated he has to face this alone.
It must be hard for him to come to terms with this. He's so perfect. Did I hurt his ego by tempting him?
Wrenna was feeling guilty. She told herself that she would never leave him no matter what.
Her thoughts were so jumbled up she did not sleep well that night.
After Damian left for work the next morning, Wrenna surfed the web for more information regarding couples facing problems with their sex life.
She figured it would be best to keep this from her friends. Damian might feel indignified if she were to share such private information with her friends. She should just solve the problem on her own.
What should I do if my husband can't get hard?
She found all sorts of answers to her question.
Some people made snarky comments, while others encourage professional consultation.
Although this was the best advice she got, Wrenna still felt bringing Damian to the hospital would hurt his feelings, so she switched off the laptop and went to the hospital herself.
She waited at the area designated for male patients, but soon realized she was the odd one out. After all, she was a young woman.
She felt ashamed, but quickly straightened her back and sat down as if there was nothing wrong with her action. She would do anything for Damian.
She braced herself and held her head high as she waited for her turn. She felt like she was on the most important quest of her life.
A small smile curved on the doctor's lips when he saw a young lady coming in.
“Excuse me, I think you should register at the counter for female patients.”
Wrenna shook her head shyly and sat down.
“I'm here on my husband's behalf.”
“Well, I figured.” The doctor smiled widely.
“Does he feel bad about it? It'll be better if he comes in person though. We can run a diagnosis and see if it's physical or psychological.”
“Um... What about you tell me what are the symptoms for each case? He's too busy, so I'm doing some research on my own. You can explain to me and I'll verify it. I really don't want him to feel hurt.”
The doctor and nurse looked at her understandingly. Wrenna was still a young woman and chances were she just got married.
This must be a huge blow to her.
“Alright. I'll brief you on these two situations then. I'll give you some pamphlets later so you have something to refer to after you go home.”
“Thanks.”
The doctor proceeded to brief her on sexual dysfunction among men and the consultation ended.
