My Bossy CEO Husband Chapter 51: Severe Insomnia

Wendy was preparing a meal in the kitchen.

She was unaware that the two children had already devised a plot of vengeance for her.

To give back her a sense of shape, she loosened her apron and started bringing the dishes to the
dining table when a man from behind took over.

His fingers were long, healthy-looking, with properly shaped bones, and their ends were cut and well-
kept, looking like sculpted digits.

Without speaking, he put the dishes on the table one by one.

"What are you doing here? When did you come?"

Nervousness overtook her again upon seeing Ryan.

He responded, "You don't want me in this house?"

Wendy could not rebut because she had no idea what to say.

How dared she say that she didn't welcome him?! She was just his employee! Wendy forced a smile to
conceal her embarrassment.

"Of course you are welcome here! Very much welcome!"

"That's all right then! It's good to hear from you."

Dishes clutched in her lap, Wendy attentively followed behind him to the dining table and set the plates
down.

Ryan and Luke were already in place, as earlier they both sat on the seats.



Wendy was at a loss for words when she initially witnessed this scene.

It was as if they were considering it as their own home.

"I'll fetch the children so they can also have dinner."

Fetch the kids for dinner...There was a distinct impression as if he was listening to a wife speaking to
her husband.

Having to hear this, Ryan brightened up instantly.

He nodded and said, "All right.Go ahead!"

Wendy bolted from the room as soon as he finished responding.

‘Oh my goodness!’ She was absolutely terrified that her heart would stop when she was with Ryan,
who was constantly having a cold aura.

It was extremely uneasy and challenging! She reached the area where the children were and told them
to join her and Ryan for dinner.

Wendy made an effort to eat quietly, lowering her head over her plate and not saying anything until the
food was finished.

She knew that Ryan's eyes were always piercing into her, and each time they landed on her, she got
too scared to even chew her food.

This meal was an utter agony for her.

After they had finished eating, Luke started his nightly duties of cleaning automatically, against his will.

"Daddy, you look worn out.Are you feeling under the weather?"



Upon hearing Precious’ voice, Wendy looked up and noticed Ryan with a bad complexion that looked
as though he was in poor health.

When they returned, it was almost completely dark.

As it was light outside, the car’s headlights did not come across until it was fully backed into the
garage.

Moreover, his aura was so overwhelming that she couldn't dare even to turn her head in his direction.

As a result, she was surprised to find that he really didn't look well.

Though his face still showed no emotion, his eyes were bloodshot.

His under-eye circles were noticeable, and his face was still a little pale.

He appeared to be a bit distressed.He furrowed his brow and rubbed his temple with his hand.

"Boss......"

"Since you are off duty, you need not call and treat me as boss!"

"Okay then if that's what you want.What's the matter with you?"

"Nothing!"

He was as icy in his speech as he typically was.

When Wendy was astounded by such a reply, she remained silent.

"Daddy, you didn't get enough rest last night again?"

He couldn't conceal his discomfort with Precious as she knew him very well.



Thus, she poured him a glass of water and gave him an anxious expression Ryan's hands moved on
Precious’ head and his eyes softened a little.

"I'm fine, no need to worry about me!"

"You're such a liar! Take a look at your face! Your skin is ghostly pale!"

The little girl loudly yelled at the kitchen.

"Uncle Luke, how many nights has my dad not been able to sleep soundly?"

"You know what, dear, it has been for several days already!"

Luke craned his neck to glance at Wendy.

And he finished the discussion by saying, "As far as I'm aware, he's been having more frequent
problems with his sleep ever since he slept for twelve hours in one stretch last time.That has been
difficult for him, as he has only slept for two hours over the past few days."

Immediately upon hearing his uncle's revelation, tears poured down Precious’s cheek.

"There is no need to worry, dear.Daddy is feeling okay."

"I am not three years old, dad.You can't hide the truth from me anymore.I am not that naive!"

Precious frowned and ran away, shedding tears in her eyes.

Raymond immediately ran after her.

Wendy followed them as well to see where they were going.

Precious bolted up the steps and onto the balcony.



She crouched in a dark corner, brushing away her flowing tears.

"The tears won't help.Stop crying! Whining makes you look unlovely."

As soon as Raymond finished his words, Precious couldn't help but burst into tears loudly.

She sat on the ground and kept wiping her tears.

"My daddy is dying! What will happen to me?! Ooh...Without my mommy, I am already pitiful.What's
worse is if my daddy passes away, I will become an orphan.Ooh..."

Dying?! What did she mean by "dying"?! Wendy was taken aback.

She knelt and inquired, "What are you on to, Precious? How could your father die? He is in good
health..."

Precious attempted to calm herself with a pitiful expression and red eyes.

She was sobbing as she had to recount the whole story to Wendy.

It was during her less-than-voluminous narration that Wendy learned what had happened.

After visiting a psychiatrist, they discovered that Ryan was suffering from chronic insomnia.

It had been fifteen years since he was diagnosed as having this illness when he was fifteen.

It initially required the use of a sleeping pill or alcohol to get him to fall asleep, for a moment.

But over time, his body's tolerance for both alcohol and sleeping pills increased.

And by that time, the effects of these lost their grip on him.

Afterwards, he turned to rely on hypnosis to help him rest.



However, Ryan mounted a formidable psychological defense.

Ordinary hypnotists were unable to gain his trust, making hypnosis tough.

Leo, who grew up alongside him, learned hypnosis specifically to cure his insomnia.

Initially, his hypnosis did assist Ryan in falling asleep, but the effect of hypnosis gradually weakened.

Due to his insomnia, Ryan's level of sleep problems increased over the years.

In the recent past several years, he was able to sleep for no more than four hours a night.

Because he didn't get enough sleep, he quickly became increasingly frustrated, to the point where he
developed a blue demeanor.

To put it mildly, this was not the most urgent matter.

In addition to that, the most serious concern was that insomnia had caused his ill health.

His nerves were on edge because of the long-term insomnia and the intense work schedule had been
taking its toll.

Leo told him many times that he would be dead at any moment if he didn't make some changes.

"Ooh...I do not want to be alone.I do not wish for my dad's death..."

Wendy was astounded and dismayed upon hearing this.

Despite the fact that she noticed that Ryan was experiencing insomnia, she had not anticipated his
condition being so perilous! It took a long time for Wendy to voice out her thoughts.

"I wonder if there is no other treatment?"



Still sobbing and burping, Precious replied, "Uncle Leo has been attempting to hypnotize daddy, but he
does not always succeed."

"Then bring him over! We'll wait for him over here!"

Before Wendy had said a word, Luke had already contacted Leo.

Fortunately, it only took him less than twenty minutes to get there.

"Come and see Ryan, Leo! Make it quick!"

Leo dashed across the room.

When he saw Ryan was expressionless, his manifestation turned gloomy.

"How many nights have you not been sleeping?"

"Three..."

Ryan glanced at Wendy.

"What?! Damn! Are you unaware of your own physical state?"

"I just can't fall asleep."

Leo had no words to utter.What else could he say?

"Leo, why are you just standing? Hypnotize Ryan! Now!"

"Where? Here?"

"To our villa!" said Luke, dragging the other two men with him.



Raymond, too, seemed concerned after they left.

Wendy took his little hand and walked out.

"Let's go together!" she exclaimed.

"Okay! Let's go!" They went directly to Ryan's room without wasting a second.

This was the first time Wendy had been there.

The room's furnishings were depressing, and the color was all dark.

They could hear soft music coming from the stereo, which caused pleasant background sounds to
reach the area of soothing, hypnotic tones as the sleeper was slowly relaxed.

They'd arranged the curtains over his window, preventing any light from entering the room.

After a while, Ryan and Leo were ready.

Everyone stayed out as they waited.

Luke explained, "They are impervious to outside influences during hypnosis."

Wendy gave a small gesture to demonstrate her understanding.

Outside the room, all of them were anxiously waiting.They couldn't do anything else now but wait.

After a half-hour wait, the door opened, and Leo exited with a bitter smile.

He regarded the crowd's expectant eyes and shook his head forlornly.

"I have failed once again! I'm really sorry."



When Leo was done speaking, Precious began to sob uncontrollably.

The young girl felt miserable again.
