Offer To The CEO

209 Recovery and Revenge - Part 4

Thursday, continued …

Hou Yi paused slightly."Anna, I think they have given us what we need.However, I do not want to focus on them.You are the most important person presently."

With that he leaned in intending to give Anna a brief kiss on the cheek.Anna however did not want just a brief kiss, so she turned her head for her lips to make contact with Hou Yi's.As soon as he realised what was happening, Hou Yi let his lips linger for a few seconds.

In his own mind, Hou Yi hoped that Anna wanted him to take the kiss further, but he realised that he could not force what he wanted on his wife.She had to be the one that instigated the kiss deepening, simply because she wanted it.Anna however did not deepen the kiss, so he gently pulled away from her lips savouring the taste he had.

Anna, however, was confused.She thought in turning her head, Hou Yi would have gotten the message that she wanted him to deepen the kiss, but he did not.Before Hou Yi pulled away too far, she reached up and pulled his head back down to give him another kiss.

This time, however, her kiss, gave Hou Yi the signal he desired. He sat down on the bed beside Anna, and quickly deepened the kiss, but still kept it as gentle as he could rather than allowing his desires to shine through in the kiss.They sat there for a few minutes, simply kissing each other, more than just a gentle touch of the lips but less than a deep passion.Eventually they pulled apart, but before Hou Yi could move too far away, Anna leaned her head in, so her forehead was touching Hou Yi's forehead.

Hou Yi simply stayed this way for a few minutes before reluctantly pulling back."Stop distracting me, from what we need to talk about.Anna, what did the doctors say?"

"They indicated that things are generally alright.They have decided that I will have to be in hospital for at least a week and a half, for monitoring to see if I have any consequences from the concussion, but to ensure that I can cope on the crutches.They also indicated that they want me to do some work, to see if that causes issues, but have made it clear that they want to minimise stress on me as much as possible."

"Well I spoke to Phillipa, and she said, more than likely due to the assault that you will have some form of post traumatic stress disorder.I really did not understand what she was talking about though."

"Yi, PTSD, as it is often referred to is a mental health disorder resulting from some traumatic incident.Soldiers are a common group that can end up suffering it, but it does not have to be from a physical injury.I have an idea what she is meaning.What did she suggest?"

"She said that our sessions need to stop.At the moment you need to recover from your physical injuries and then deal not only with the psychological impacts of that but everything else.She is going to arrange things before she leave, but she asked would you be up to her coming and visiting you?"

"If it means that you will go and spend some time out of here, absolutely.I do not want you to feel that you have no choice but to stay here."

"Anna do not make me feel guilty.Dad and Uncle Feng are happy to do what is needed, as they can understand that I want to be here with you, rather than sitting at a desk.There is some things I have to take care of, but that is easy to deal with"

"I am not.Being here will drive me insane, but I can do some things.You need to have opportunities out of this place, particularly as I will be here for at least ten days."

"If you are determined, I will try, but …"

"No buts.Promise me, please."Anna interrupted Hou Yi, in a pleading voice.

Looking into Anna's eyes, and hearing her voice there was nothing he could do but relent."I promise I will try."The look he saw in Anna's eyes was worth the promise that he knew was going to be difficult to keep.Hou Yi was relieved that Anna had no idea what he was really plotting, because it would stress her out.He was just hopeful that he could keep it a secret.
