Chapter 37: Don't worry, don't be scared.

Kaylin easily realized Vera's psychological instability when meeting Egan. Kaylin believes Vera felt fear of men after she was nearly raped. It was a good thing that the worst did not happen, so Kaylin believed Vera would make a quick recovery. Kaylin will help Vera have a more positive, optimistic mindset so that she can return to a normal life.
Everything is over, Kaylin hopes that Vera will only have good things next, Vera will have quiet and happy days and nights. Actually, when Eric told Vera's story, Kaylin cried a lot. The female doctor did not expect that the reason Vera chose to sacrifice herself to save Egan's life was because of such a profound cause. According to Kaylin Vera, wanting to end her life is a wrong idea, if Kaylin knew about Vera's situation at that time, Kaylin would certainly find ways to stop Vera's intention, even scolding Vera. This is really strange, no one could have guessed that God wanted Vera to continue living. And this time too, the accident was over, Vera returned safely. Perhaps the challenge that God gave Vera is no more, now Vera just enjoys the sweet life. Kaylin believes Egan will take good care of Vera, not because she is Egan's benefactor, but more than that. Through Egan's gaze on Vera, Kaylin knew for sure that Egan was in love with Vera. A very sincere love. Kaylin is happy for Vera because Vera deserves to be loved. Kaylin assures Egan is a good man who will bring happiness to Vera.
First, to help Vera calm down, closing her thoughts Kaylin decided to proceed with what needed to be done immediately.
"Hello, Vera." The doctor's voice was affectionate and considerate, as a mother.
"I'm a doctor. I'm here to help you." Kaylin excitedly introduced herself: "So don't be afraid, let's get to know each other."
Vera gradually calmed down at the doctor's friendly smile. Those eyes that remained with a few tiny glints of fear stared at Kaylin. After carefully observing Kaylin's beautiful, holy-looking, good face, Vera timidly asked:
"Who are you? Where is this? Why am I here?" Vera was half suspicious, half curious. She finds herself lost in a strange place, with no familiarity, no one close to her.
"My name is Kaylin." The female doctor smiled and introduced: "I am the doctor treating you."
Vera's eyes flickered briefly at the word doctor. Does she wonder why she needs treatment?
"Doctor?" Vera mutters still not understanding what does Kaylin's appearance means to her? All just fleeting thoughts: "Why are you here, why do I need treatment? Is it because of me...." Vera stammered as she said what she was disgusted with. Best. Vera thinks she's dirty, she's been humiliated, she's not clean anymore.
Once again Vera was panicking at the horrible images that flashed through her brain, causing her whole body to be agitated.
"I'm here to help you. Please trust me." As if reading Vera's concerns, Kaylin said sincerely, "It's over, you're safe here. And nothing serious has happened."
Kaylin emphasized the last sentence as a reminder of Vera's virginity. She has not been robbed by any crooks who are worth thousands of gold.
Vera was still looking at Kaylin in bewilderment. Things are still confusing for a mind that has been through many events like Vera.
"Transfer what happened?" Vera blurted out the question unconsciously: "Why am I here? I remember I was locked up in the royal house, and then I... Those guys were..."
Vera trembled as she recounted the event she had gone through. To this day, the feeling of horror still haunts Vera. It was really horrible, she was terrified of it.
"We found you and brought you here." Kaylin raised her voice to interrupt Vera's babbling. Kaylin's hand reached out to grip Vera's trembling shoulders. Looking deeply into Vera's eyes, Kaylin said in a reassuring voice: "Don't get too excited, everything is fine, nothing to worry about. According to the results of the test, the criminals can't touch you." Kaylin made no secret of Vera's condition, Kaylin thought it would be more uplifting to tell Vera sooner: "They failed in their attempt to rape you. So you can rest assured that you still have your virginity."
Well, Kaylin had a hard time choosing words to explain. Then she bluntly said that delicate thing without paying attention to Vera's reaction. Fortunately for Kaylin, that explanation worked, Vera's expression sharpened. Vera heard what Kaylin said, that's great, isn't it?
"How do you know, are you sure?" Vera asked suspiciously. Vera felt as though she had been violated, for rough hands had crushed and touched her before she fainted and lost consciousness.
"I'm a doctor." Kaylin proudly said: "I was the one who checked her condition, and I can assure you that everything I say is true. She has never been abused."
Seeing Vera suddenly go silent, Kaylin knew that Vera needed time to absorb all the information, so Kaylin changed the subject to let Vera relax and not feel burdened.
"Do you remember who you are? What's your name?"
"Vere, Vera Taylor." She said,
"Very well, Vera." Kaylin praised: "The incident did not affect her memory."
Kaylin smiled when she learned that Vera's memory was still good.
"How are you feeling, are you getting better?" Kaylin continued with simple but necessary questions.
"I feel tired." Vera was only now paying attention to the state of her body. Vera's whole body ached, her limbs were weak, she had no strength. Vera still had to stay in bed for a while.
"Your condition will soon be over." Kaylin encouraged: "Just rest and relax."
The doctor added: "Her wounds are slowly healing again. Especially the incision has not become infected even though the stitches have been torn. You know, stitches can leave scars after they are healed. tight, but that problem can be solved with plastic surgery to remove the scar. So don't worry too much about it."
"Yes." Vera was calmer now. She stopped being agitated. Being with Kaylin Vera feels secure. At least Kaylin is a good person to Vera.
"This Vera." After going through the professional talk, Kaylin sincerely said, she even unintentionally revealed: "It's over, now you're safe. Don't worry too much, let's cheer up and recover soon, Egan I'm so worried about you."
"Egan?" Vera bewilderedly called his name and Kaylin nodded in response: "Who is Egan?"
"The man just now was Egan, Egan Robert." Seeing that Vera was interested in learning, Kaylin introduced Egan to her: "He is the owner of this house. He just wants to help her, nothing else. He is a human being. good. The person who saved her from the bad guys is him."
Vera blinked repeatedly to absorb the information. Vera's brain was slow to process so Kaylin waited patiently for Vera's response.
"That person is..." Vera hesitated, not knowing how to express what she was feeling.
"He's a very nice gentleman." Kaylin affirmed: "You can rest assured, there is no need to be afraid of him."
"Me..."
Vera, hearing that, lowered her head in shame, her face red. After Vera calmed down, plus being told by Vera about her situation, she became more excited. However, the guilt of blaming and suspecting the wrong person made her tormented, so her face once again returned to a melancholy expression.
The female doctor who noticed Vera's expression could only smile friendly. She doesn't want to go too far and dig too deep into the matter, just letting everything flow naturally. It is Vera and Egan who need to resolve the misunderstanding with each other. Kaylin should not interfere beyond the allowable limit. And she doesn't want to be judged too much. The female doctor once again changed the subject, wanting to calm Vera again.
"You must be hungry. Let me get you something."
"No need, I don't want to bother." Vera immediately instinctively refused. She doesn't want to get too much help from others. She was afraid that she would not be able to return the favor.
"Don't hesitate, the owner here is very hospitable." Kaylin again used Egan as a convincing excuse: "Don't betray that person's heart."
"But... I have no reason to accept all that good." Vera is still shy, insistently refuses.
"Do you know Egan, He's been by your side all these days, taking care, worrying, watching when you have a fever. Get well soon so as not to disappoint him." Kaylin brought out Egan again to convince Vera. Kaylin clearly intentionally let Vera feel guilty, indebted to Egan but accepted to listen to Kaylin's words.
"I'm grateful for that, but I'm afraid I won't be able to return it." Vera frankly expressed concerns. Well, Vera's preoccupation is a huge problem for Vera. It sounds funny, but if it weren't for Vera, I wouldn't fully understand why she would behave like that. Vera always thinks that she is useless, she will not be able to repay the people who help her, so she often grudgingly refuses their good offers. In addition, the guilt that she is a burden for others has been clinging to Vera since her mother's death until now, so it is very difficult for Vera to change and erase those bad thoughts. Through the way Vera thinks and behaves, it can be seen how Enoch has poisoned, making Vera become self-deprecating, looking down on herself.
"Be less stubborn." Kaylin annoyedly taught Vera: "Not everyone does good deeds just to wait for a good reward. She thinks that will hurt the self-esteem of the silent heroes."
Vera moved her lips and was silent, not daring to contradict Kaylin's words. Before the strict look of the doctor, Vera shyly lowered her face, unable to face the judgment and evaluation of the other party. The female doctor is right, Vera admits it too, she admits her point of view is wrong. But Vera just didn't want to be indebted, so it was difficult for Vera to let go of such selfish thoughts.
"More." Kaylin has not given up on clearing the mind for Vera: "Vera, listen to me, you need to recover soon to be able to do other things, such as solving your personal problems. Her life. How should you move on from today? Don't delay or delay instead, face ahead with a spirit of courage and optimism."
Kaylin's teachings are very true, very poignant. But is it easy to do? Can Vera do it? Most importantly, does Vera want to live for the future or bury herself in the present, day by day gnawing on her sorrowful, painful past? Vera herself could not have the correct answer. She needs time to experience, to dare to assert.
Seeing Vera silently thinking, the female doctor knew that Vera was taking time to consider and consider what she said. So she didn't want to bother Vera anymore. Before leaving the room, Kaylin made a promise.
"Wait a minute, I'll be right back."
...
...
At this time, outside the room, Egan and Eric were discussing how to deal with the situation of shareholders in the company. Just as Eric stopped talking, the door to Vera's room flew open, and Kaylin appeared after that. Neither of the two men asked anyone to take the initiative to stop the conversation. They will continue another time, and Vera is the first priority, for Egan that is.
"Vera, What's up?" Egan once again hurried over to the doctor, asking questions.
"I just finished checking on her." Kaylin said, wanting to complain about a few things: "I warned you not to stress her out. Why did you freak her out?"
"I just wanted to see how she was." Egan justifies: "I didn't expect her to wake up and find me. At that time I was just trying to explain it to Vera, but it seems..."
"It's a natural reaction to encountering strangers." Kaylin said: "Not to mention she can remember bad moments, so she reacts unsettled when she sees you in the room with a man."
Egan sighed, he still couldn't be reassured by Vera's condition.
Seeing Vera hurt Egan really couldn't bear it. He wants to support Vera, but is that possible? Does Vera need him? Do you accept him? A series of doubts made Egan think a lot, leading to the spirit sometimes becoming gloomy.
Let's wait, Egan's condition is not inferior to Vera's. That will multiply the anxiety. Someone has to stand up to solve the difficult problem. So who is that?
