Mr. Hephephobias

CHAPTER 166 - Leona's Decision

In Canada...

Mickey stood in the corner of the hospital hallway with his arms crossed and his body leaned against the wall. Every now and then he checked his cell phone, looked at the clock in his hand and looked at the door of the closed room in front of him.

After a long wait, the door of the room opened. The figure of the woman he was waiting for earlier finally came out with a face that made Mickey suddenly become agitated. "How did it go?" his question to Leona with a hunting attitude impatiently heard the answer.

"If this room was an obstetrician's room, people would think that you were a husband waiting for positive news from his wife" sahut Leona with a seductive smile then walked first leaving Mickey who followed behind.

Mickey speeds up his steps to be able to walk again beside Leona. Mickey says he doesn't want to joke right now. He pressured Leona to explain the results of the meeting that Leona had made about Rayn's condition.

Seeing the impatient Mickey with a look on his face made Leona sigh and shake her head. "I can't believe that I'll be jealous of Rayn more often from now on. If it's about Rayn, there's really no place for me to mind. Rayn kicked me out of your head with just one flick" Leona said, demonstrating how Rayn would kick her.

Mickey took one step further stopping Leona by standing right in front of him. "Leona, I really don't want to." said Mickey. Not until he finished his speech was cut off Leona.

"Well, all right, I know you don't want to joke" Leona said. He grabs Mickey's shoulders and guides him back to walking. "We can discuss it slowly" he continued.

On the way, Leona read some of the results of the meeting full of medical language. But in essence they have determined the method to be taken for the treatment of Rayn. About what happened with Rayn's beating, Leona was sure that they would succeed with the Flooding method. Although this therapy must be done carefully because there can be a high emotional reaction, but this time they have the right key. Involves the appearance of fear at the fullest level, or approaching it fully by facing it directly to the trigger.

"key? Does that mean you will involve Lucia in that method? And also, are you going to repeat that?" mickey asked with a serious face.

Rayn's beatings are an emotional development that takes place within her control. That means that there is a point where he can get rid of the phobia under his emotions. If we face the triggers that will also be the key to the decrease in fear, then we can do it by repeating the process.

Rayn's mother, Lady Angelina was the one who gave her the suggestion indirectly at that moment. And Lucia, she was the one who made her feel comfortable because Rayn felt the same protection she felt when she was with her mother. Since we can't possibly present Lady Angelina, then Lucia is the only person who can replace her.

Feelings of anger, a sense of wanting to protect the most valuable person in his life will provide a high emotional reaction so that it can control his phobia even for a moment. In the past, due to Rayn's very young age, Dr. Daniel once worried that if it happened it would have a worse effect on his hobby .But now it's different, as they know, now Rayn can handle it.

Mickey immediately pulled over his vehicle after hearing Leona's explanation. He was very understanding and knew what they would do with that method. "If that's the choice you're going to make, you better stop. Look for another method even if it takes longer or whatever it is, I don't care. As long as you don't take this step" Mickey said.

Leona sighed then turned towards Mickey who was sitting at the wheel. "Mickey, I know what you're worried about, but this is the right opportunity" Leona assured Mickey.

With a high tone of voice Mickey remained in his stance and he believed that Rayn would decide the same with him. "Do you think Rayn would approve? Do you think Rayn will let you put Lucia in danger? He would rather suffer from a phobia for the rest of his life than have to involve Lucy. Leona, it's been my decision, tell Dr. Daniel" Mickey's orders.

"I've thought about it, we'll do it safely. And also I'm going to talk about this with Lucia, not with Rayn" Leona said.

"L.....!!!" mickey shouted with emotion.

If they failed, then not only would it put Lucia in danger but it would also worsen Rayn's condition. Rayn not only returned to feeling the torment of repeating the event, but she also returned to losing a meaningful person in her life.

"With safe? How sure are you guys going to do it safely? Have you been preparing for the worst possible event? Do you think Rayn can bear that burden a second time? What if it will trigger another mental illness. Dissociative disorders (DIDs) are the worst! Isn't that the real reason why Dr. Danial backwards. I'm sure you guys who are in this field, who will understand the most." Mickey said.

Leona approached Mickey and stood right in front of him. According to him, there was no point in the two of them arguing by the roadside like this time. Leona tells Mickey something to convince him.

"He called me a while ago, in a desperate voice he asked me to. Rayn, he said he really wanted to get well. He wanted to be the perfect man and husband for Lucia. You know why? Because he wants to be a father. He wanted to be a father and was called a father. But there is not a single father in the world who does not want to touch his son. What would you think if you heard the request directly from him? Are you going to ignore it?" ask Leona to Mickey.

"Aarrhgg....!!!!!"

Mickey walked away screaming as strongly as he let go of all the feelings that almost drove him crazy right now. He is in a difficult position to decide.

“Mickey, listen to me. In addition to having a reason, Rayn also has a determination. If that desire and belief comes from the patient himself to heal. Hope exists and can be realized. We'll know and I promise to do it carefully. Trust me, I beg you" Leona continued.

Mickey ruffled his hair and covered his face with his palm. Return to throw away his anger by shouting loudly. Leona could only be speechless, she understood Mickey's current position.

Mikey tried to calm down. "Rayn never said this to me. Does he know that I'm going against him? Does he already know if the method you're about to choose involves Lucia?" ask Leona.

Leona shook her head, Rayn didn't know anything because they didn't say anything at the time. Now that they had decided to involve Lucia, Leona would discuss this with Lucia, not Rayn.

"Lussia? Give me some time to think about it. I'll decide when I get back home and meet Rayn and Lucia" Mickey said, then get back in his car.

Rayn's recovery is certainly what they all want including Mickey. But, if it had to be done with a sacrifice it was the most difficult thing.
