She's My Sleeping Pill

830 SLOWLY RETURNING HER LIFE TO NORMAL

Although Cayenne was supposed to rest after giving birth to three children, she refused to do nothing and just sat around while her husband was doing his best to provide for the family at the same time; looking after their children and her.

Others might have it easy with money and power, but Cayenne didn’t want to abuse Stefan’s connection to other people. She was more than privileged already with all the treatment she was receiving because of him. This time, to prove that she wasn’t fragile like others think she was, she decided to pick up her pace and contacted her professors voluntarily. She knew that Stefan would be pissed off once he found out what she did. However, she also knew that he would understand her as soon as she explained the details to him.

“Yes, I’ll do that,” Cayenne said over the phone. “No, I don’t mind coming to the university for the final exam... Yes, that will do... I understand.” As soon as the call ended, she sent a message to Jackson, her assistant, and secretary.

Stefan went home for a while to get her some change of clothes and other personal items which made it possible for her to decide things on her own. Normally, she would have been discharged from the hospital already since there wasn’t anything wrong with her, but Stefan wanted her to stay longer so that the doctors could look after her should something bad happen to her.

Thankfully, the VVIP ward was rarely used and there were many vacant rooms available. Cayenne didn’t have to leave in a hurry for others to use the room after her.

The first to arrive was Jackson who brought some documents for Cayenne to review. All of them were related to her charity foundation and it was already filtered by Tristan after some thorough investigation. Jackson also informed her of the charity event that would take place in two months which was arranged by Kyle several months ago. It wasn’t easy to make it happen since most of the people they wanted to invite were busy and had prior arrangements. Kyle could only wait for these invitees to free up their space for the event. Fortunately, they promised to come if he moves the date to another month or two.

“Thank you for always helping me, Jackson,” Cayenne mumbled and smiled. “If you ever need help, don’t hesitate to let us know. Stefan and I will do our best to help.”

“I’m already grateful for this job, Ms. Yen. You already gave me too much credit for something which I didn’t do alone.”

“Hehehe. You are so humble. Tristan told me that you are very efficient with work and Kyle also testified to that. You don’t have to be so courteous about it. Still, I’m glad that you are down to earth. That’s even better.”

.....

Jackson only smiled while waiting for Cayenne to finish reviewing the documents and take her pick on the people to be prioritized.

Not long after, Stefan came and faintly nodded his head when Jackson bowed in his direction. “Are you working again?” Stefan questioned while pulling the suitcase behind him. “I just left for over an hour, and you are making yourself busy in my absence.”

Cayenne stuck her tongue at him and made face while waving the documents. “I’m being productive while being held captive by your heart.”

Stefan’s heartbeat faltered and he felt his face rising in temperature. “Geez! What are you saying?” He couldn’t believe he was easily blushing at her words. “You, cheeky woman,” Stefan commented as he kissed her forehead. “So, what are you up to?”

Cayenne scooted over to the other side of the bed to make space for her husband to sit, obviously ignoring the presence of her secretary who decided to go out voluntarily. Jackson didn’t want to witness another overloading sweetness since he just had a dose from Kyle and Kath at the foundation before leaving to see Cayenne in Senyu Medical Hospital.

Back inside the hospital room, Cayenne explained what she did behind his back. At first, Stefan’s face crumpled, and Cayenne felt really nervous because of his expression. She didn’t want them to fight over something so trivial.

“So, I will be attending classes through zoom meetings and someone from the faculty will install a camera to monitor me, just to make sure that I am not getting any help during my regular assessments. Then, on the day of the final exam, I will be taking it in the university like everybody else.”

Stefan sighed deeply and pulled her into a hug. “Am I giving you a hard time?”

“No, of course, not,” she responded almost instantly, “you are always sweet and responsible, and you look after me and the kids, at the same time you have to follow up with your work and check on everyone to make that they were doing fine. You are doing so much for the family already. I just want to do my part. Besides, once I graduate, I’d be able to spend more time with you and the kids.”

“And the foundation that you worked so hard for,” he added knowing that Cayenne won’t ever give up on that. “If this is what you want, I won’t stop you even if I want to. I just hope that you will be honest with me when you can’t take it anymore.”

“Likewise. Don’t take things by yourself. Always remember that I am here for you. We’re in this together, right?”

With her expectant gaze and bright smile, Stefan could never say no to her. Thus, he decided to kiss her lips to seal her mouth. In that way, he wouldn’t be able to say a lie to her. Of course, as her husband, as a partner, he wanted them to be equal but there were times when his overprotectiveness would come out and he might do something on his own without consulting to her first. Therefore, he opted not to make a promise, but he kept it in his heart to do his best not to cause her more things to worry about.

Thus, after getting Stefan’s support with the arrangements she made, Cayenne finally felt relieved. In addition to checking on their children twice a day, she can now join her class and graduate in a few months’ time.

Since she still had something to do, Stefan gave her some space to continue her work. He called Jackson to come inside and discuss whatever needed to be discussed with Cayenne while he sat on the side to order food for Cayenne. Since she wasn’t pregnant now, she could eat whatever she liked, and Stefan didn’t have to feel nauseous and dizzy anymore.

“Help this woman with her chemotherapy treatment first. Ask if we could document the details. If she wants to hide her identity, that would be fine as well. We can just use a pseudo name for her.”

“Should I transfer her here since this hospital has better facilities?”

“If the doctor recommends that, you can arrange everything after talking to her and her family but if it’s not recommended, she can just have her treatment there.”

Jackson just nodded his head while keeping the document of the first person that Cayenne picked up among all the files. “Should I ask someone to film the process as well? Or are we relying on the bodyguards who will come with me?”

“You ask for her permission first. If she agrees, we can just rely on the bodyguards. I haven’t found anyone who could be very good at taking videos.”

“Shall we make a team for that?”

Cayenne’s eyes lit up after Jackson brought up this idea. She had never thought of this before since she was relying on her brothers and the other people around her. Tristan also handled the investigation well despite the workload that Stefan gave him. The bodyguards were able to get the videos that she needed for her vlogs since they were equipped with micro cameras. Her brothers, along with Erwin and Tristan’s help, were editing her videos as well. It never occurred to her that these people had something else to do aside from helping her.

“You just gave me the most brilliant idea. If we form a team for my vlogging account, who do we need? I mean, what skills should we look for in people?”

And with this turn of their conversation, Cayenne and Jackson spent more time brainstorming while Stefan listened to them. Though it wasn’t really his responsibility to look for people that Cayenne might need in her team, he still ended up listing those requirements that she talked about with Jackson. Can’t help it. That’s how Stefan was when it came to his wife.

“Focus on the teenage girl’s chemo first. Then, we’ll hire a team to help us work on the next people that we will choose.”

“Got it.”
