She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 565 - FINDING MARIAN

Stefan thought so hard to recall where he read that name before. He knew that he read it somewhere but he couldn't figure out when and where. "I'll have Tristan look for her. Don't feel too bad. It's not your fault."

Cayenne nodded her head but her tears were doing the opposite. They kept on falling on the letters like an endless spring water. "It's almost my birthday."

"Shall we go to the address of the safe deposit box tomorrow? Maybe we'd find a clue before Tristan could."

"O-okay. L-let's g-go." Cayenne responded in broken words because of her hiccups.

Stefan could only hug his wife and cuddle her to sleep. It's almost midnight yet there they were, still wide awake with one of them still weeping. He wanted to stop her tears but he can't really stop the pain she was feeling because of what she learned.

The next morning, the dark circles around her eyes shocked her brothers so much. They wanted to ask her but they also felt that they needed to shut up. Every time they looked towards Stefan with their questioning gaze, Stefan would only shrug his shoulders.

"Auntie Lucia, can you slice some cucumbers? We have a panda here that needs a soothing treatment." Luiz stated which almost choked Cayenne to death. She knew that she looked horrible at the moment but she felt it was unfair to be called panda when her eyebags didn't look so dark to her.

Lucia was very quick to her work and immediately gave Cayenne a small bowl of sliced cucumbers. Cayenne took one slice and put it in her mouth which made Luiz raise his eyebrow. "That's for your eyes, not for your mouth."

"I know. I just wanted to have a taste." Cayenne reasoned out. "Hurry up already or you will be late for school."

"Same to you." Luiz retorted before taking a sip of his water.

Cayenne ate silently beside Stefan and from time to time, her deep sighs escaped her lips which made everyone look at her. She was restless and worried. Her mind couldn't wrap up everything that she just knew. "Is it possible that Seiji and Arthur knew of her condition?" She asked all of sudden but other than Stefan, no one has an idea of what she talking about.

"That's possible." Stefan answered. "Anyway, stop thinking about it for now. I'll make sure that you'd see her soon."

Cayenne nodded her head in understanding because she knew that if Stefan promised it, he will do the best he can to fulfill it. After having breakfast, she went to school with her husband once again just to attend a 3-hour class for one subject. Since her eyes were still a bit red and swollen, she decided to wear dark glasses.

"Are you alright? Why are you wearing glasses inside the room?" Noah asked her as soon as she took a seat beside him. Faith was also looking at her with a confused gaze but she didn't ask anything. As for the other students, they weren't asking or looking at her but their ears were open to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Cayenne took a deep breath and sighed. "I though it was Friday yesterday. I watched a drama movie and ended up crying for over an hour. I really forgot the date."

"Oh! I thought something serious has happened. Thank goodness it's just a movie." Noah commented while giving her once over look. "Stop watching so many dramas. It's not good."

"Hn. I'll refrain from doing so." Cayenne replied with no qualms. After all, it wasn't really the reason why.

During class, the professor did ask her what happened but after hearing her response, aside from the stifled laughter, the professor didn't say anything anymore. She knew that Cayenne pays attention during class so, having glasses or not didn't really bother the professor who was discussing in front of the whole class.

After 3 hours of sitting and doing activities, the class finally ended. Cayenne went out fast as she can as if she was being chased out by someone. She just really wanted to be with her husband as soon as she can.

"How's your class?" Stefan asked while taking her bag from her and held it on the other hand while he intertwined their fingers.

"It's okay. I learned something new today." Cayenne mentioned as they walk to where the cars were parked. She looked around them and when no one was looking at them, she leaned closer and whispered. "Honestly, I was a bit distracted. I think I missed some key points."

"Just borrow notes from your classmates. The exam is approaching and you should not slack off."

"I know. I'll ask Noah to send me pictures of his notes later or tomorrow."

"You really depend on him, don't you?"

"Tsk! Are you being jealous again? Shall I depend on you for school notes and activities, too?"

"Why not?"

"That's crazy!" Cayenne retorted in disbelief. "What can you do for me?"

"A lot." Stefan winked at her and for some reason, she didn't like that mischievous wink. She could already sense the foreboding image of her future. Cayenne couldn't really grasp his mind sometimes. "Anyway, let's go to the address that your best friend placed on the letter."

"Hn. Let's do that."

On their way to East West International Bank where the safe deposit box was located, Cayenne's hands were sweating from anxiety. She was afraid of what she might see inside the box. And she was even more afraid to know of what has become to her best friend.

"It's alright." Stefan whispered and gently caressed her palm to comfort her a little. "You don't have to be scared."

"I'm not scared." Cayenne replied but her shaking voice already betrayed her. "Okay. I am a little bit anxious. I just couldn't help it."

"She's alive." Stefan told her to calm her. "I am not sure if she's doing fine with what she's been going through but she's definitely alive. You'll see her."

In City D, somewhere on the countryside, Marian was sitting on her bed while looking outside her window. She could see the trees and the small houses far from the place she was living in. And she could also see the man standing in front of their gate, holding a bouquet of red roses.

"Young miss, he's here again." Her personal maid told her even though she didn't really need to hear it. She can see him.

"I'm not here."

"Okay." The maid went downstairs and walked towards the gate to open it. "Mister, the young miss is not here. She's in the city right now."

"When will she come back?"

"I'm not sure. Sometimes, it takes 2 or 3 days but there are times she'd stay for over a week."

"Since there is no guarantee, I'll just wait here until she comes home."

The maid raised her eyebrow but she remained silent while looking at him. 'Stubborn.' She thought before taking a step back to close the gate. "I won't be letting you in.. Bye."
