His Bet

Chapter Thirty Five

Before the sun hits the ground we woke up and head upstairs and pretend we are not gone for the night. I know that this will be somehow busted anytime soon when we don't stay safe on this routine but I'll rather deal with that later. I just need to do something now. Calming her down every night is not enough to make it stop, go away or at least reduce but I need to get going and do some ways. It can't just be haunting her every night. Well, the therapy of releasing it and talking about it is no longer enough, I need more. But how will I do this if I'm with my brothers 24/7 I want to ask for help from Red or at least Tristan but Ace made me promise to keep the we-are-sleeping-in-the-maid's-room-every-night-because-I am-a-crazy-woman she quoted. I don't want to spill and betray the little bit of trust she has given me but I just don't know where to start. Well maybe I can find something to help aside from talk therapy. Yes that's it, a research. I decided to call this day off for me and told them I have something to do important. Sure, they asked me a thousand times what is it but I just told them that's confidential for 'the bet game' just to let me slip in. But I also have to do some excuse to Red so I somehow told him the quite truth that I need to find something that will help Ace. He offered me hand but I refuse.. That will just cause a great spilling. Well by what I said I know that Red already had the clue that Ace is still nightmare-ing and I'm still getting her back whenever it happens but he didn't ask or comment on that.

I'm packing some of my things when Ace approach me.

"You're not going with us?" She asked her voice small.

"Sorry I can't for today sweetheart I need to do some important things. But I'll be with you for the rest of the night I promised." I whispered the last whole sentence then gave her a dazzling smile with a wink.

She gaped her mouth because of that but recover as well. I know she want to ask about the 'important' thing but she chose not. I'll just discuss that to her later better when I at least have something to help her. I don't want her to put her hopes up into nothing.

"Okay." She nodded.

"You're gonna be okay with the boys are you? Red's there so you don't need to worry for the sick 4." I chuckled. She bit back her bottom lip to stop from letting a grin show but she didn't succeed.

"But don't be shy to call me if something gone wrong okay?"

"Sure. Hmm thanks." She sheepishly answered.

"Promise you'll call? I'm not sure if I'm going to get back any time soon as you're home." Because I'm not really sure where do I start finding so it might take the whole day off just making sure I won't be breaking any word I say to her.

She waved me goodbye and I kissed my grandma goodbye before I headed to the doorway and picked a car. I throw my bag on the passenger seat as I turn the ignition on and roar through the road. Oh how I miss driving.

I know the ride will take less than an hour so I should start a skeleton plan for now. Maybe I can go out of the other town and search the thing I don't know. I know this is stupid but I need to figure this out now. I had a so called research for this case and I as what I assume talk therapy is another treatment but I almost choke my throat when I see drugs on the list. Wait what? I need to drug her? Heck that's a no. I won't let her drugged. It says that sedative in the worst times can be applicable but it seeks medical assistance from doctors and I bet Ace would note that as a big fat no. Another option is to bring her to a psychiatric professional that maybe works for giving her advice how to cope up because trauma is one cause of anxiety or panick attacks like that.

Okay.. Drug her is a no but bring her to a psychiatric professional will do. I decided to go the the nearest hospital that offers psychiatric somewhat fuck whatever it is. Sorry I just hate science. I ended up on the adjacent town from us and ask some people where do I find a psychiatric professional so they point me to their town's hospital. The nurse told me to wait for the other patients to finish their appointments before the doctor can asses any other party. For a half and an hour of waiting I can finally get in. I entered the room and the doctor offered me a seat.
