Chapter 161: Steal a kiss
At Pluria Island
Raine enjoyed her second day of working at Pluria’s dical Center. Doing mundane hospital work... It felt as if she was still living a normal life for a while, with Tyrone and Aire keeping her company.
It was honestly a nice feeling, one that Raine actually hoped wouldn’t end quickly. Unfortunately, she had to remind herself that it was nothing but fleeting dreams for her. She was way far from being a normal or ordinary person. Besides, she was currently on Pluria Island for a mission and nothing else. It was already good enough that she could leisurely experience this wonderful feeling on the side while in the middle of a mission.
Occasionally, she would both intentionally and accidentally bump into Yera while doing their respective rounds. They would grab snacks together now and then. Raine would also pull Yera in for so casual chit-chat. If not for them being caught up with Xander’s case, they probably could’ve been real friends eventually. Yera was such a nice person that Raine couldn’t help but wonder how it would feel once she opened up about Mara’s arrival in her life as her twin. And yet, here she was again, thinking that Mara was better off without getting involved in her life.
"Why did you beco a doctor, Candice?" Yera asked her out of curiosity. They were outside in the garden of the dical center, watching so of the patients roaming around and soaking in the sun’s rays.
Raine crisply chuckled, "Hmm... I guess it’s because I wanted to save lives instead of killing? Or maybe it’s because being a doctor gives
a better opportunity to kill legally?"
Yera’s eyebrows connected at her words as Raine winked at her. "You can never get serious, huh?" Yera sighed. It would seem that every ti Raine spoke, it felt like one should never take her seriously.
Raine laughed out hard upon hearing Yera’s words. She then pulled sothing out from her pocket. "Here. This one’s a trusted brand and has quite accurate results. You should really check now if you’re pregnant, you know?" Raine nonchalantly stated.
During one of their casual chats, she found out that Yera had still not tried to get a pregnancy test done yet. As such, she was quite worried about Yera’s condition. She had a nagging feeling that Yera was really pregnant.
Hesitantly, Yera accepted it and asked, "Why does it look like you’re more curious about my pregnancy than I am?"
"Hmm... Well, I want to know so I can be more gentle to you. Like, not pulling your hair out or sothing if we ever ended up fighting," Raine casually answered, then taking note of a few more additions lining the doctor’s pockets. "Besides, I noticed that you’ve been eating a lot of sweets lately. You should tone that down. Or maybe just give it all to
since I love sweets. Too much sugar won’t be good for your baby anyway."
Raine gave the woman an honest smile. Yera always seed to have a lot of chocolate packets in her pockets whenever they t. She would even offer so to her whenever they were chatting, not to ntion the sweet pastries that the doctor always had for snacks.
"You’re weird, you know that? You just said you wouldn’t ss with a pregnant woman. Do you an you’ll still ss with Xander even if he’s married once you find out that I’m not pregnant? Besides, you already have a handso man yourself!"
Raine looked at Yera with a wicked smile, "Why not? It’s exciting, isn’t it? You should know, I’m sothing of a playgirl. So anyway, inform
if you’re pregnant, so that I might consider not ssing with you and Dr. Yang. I do care about you, though, even if I still can’t guarantee that I’ll behave whenever it cos to Xander."
Raine rose from her chair to leave, but montarily paused as she bent a little to whisper at Yera, "You see, I like Dr. Yang a lot. So much that I can’t keep my hands off him..."
Yera had a frown on her face as she watched Raine’s retreating back. The younger doctor then quickly trotted back inside the hospital.
Raine chuckled. She had already warned her not to take her words seriously most of the ti since it was her habit to irritate people. But even so, Yera still took her seriously at tis when she was obviously joking.
’Ah... definitely pregnant! It would be nice if their baby would look like , right?’ Raine mused with a grin. She had to keep her facade of liking Xander sohow so that Yera wouldn’t ntion her presence on the island to her husband. Knowing Yera’s personality, the latter wouldn’t even ntion to her husband that she was also working in the sa hospital.
Walking back to her clinic, a small smile crept up on her face as she saw Tyrone and Aire in her wolf form dozing off together on the couch.
"Slackers..." she murmured as she stared at the two.
Aire was in her usual wolf form, her head resting on Tyrone’s lap while the latter’s head rested on the couch’s headrest. They had changed her clinic hours to match the sa schedule as Yera’s clinic hours. The older doctor had already left the hospital by now though, so Raine and Tyrone could also head back to the apartnt for the day.
She leaned down, towering over Tyrone’s face to steal a kiss from his lips. But before she could press her lips against his, he spoke, "I’d prefer if you kissed
with
knowing it..."
Raine hovered over his face for a split second. With a smirk, she gently slapped his face and mumbled, "There was a mosquito on your cheek."
"Ouch... That’s too harsh," Tyrone smirked as he composed himself.
Raine felt her face twitch as she scoffed, "Next ti, you should keep your eyes and mouth shut whenever you sleep. That way, you won’t catch
whenever I plan to steal a kiss from you."
