Chapter 159: He’s My Man

Yera nodded at Dr. Yao as she gave her an awkward smile. Yera was still having some briefings so she excused herself from Raine.

Raine smiled, thinking how her job would be easy now that Yera, as she expected, also worked at the hospital with her. She would not sweat getting close to her and she could easily penetrate Ken's mansion where Yera was staying.

After Yera's briefing, she then went to Dr. Yao's clinic and invited the latter for some coffee. Yera waited for Candice to be ready at the waiting chair outside Candice's clinic. The door was opened and she could not help but give Candice sneaking glances while she was talking to her secretary and endorsing some things. The man looked familiar.

'It's still the same secretary? Did he follow her here?' Yera could not help but wonder while she looked at the two. She now remembered where she had seen the man. He was Candice's secretary, humored to be gay but she did not believe that baseless humor. He was definitely a straight man.

Raine looked at her and gave her a signal that she would be done soon so Yera nodded. Soon Raine went out and immediately pulled Yera at the coffee shop as soon as she finished endorsing some works to Tyrone.

Inside the coffee shop beside the hospital, Raine was silently analyzing Yera's build. It would seem that Yera had gained more weight since the last time she saw her. 

'Could it be that she's pregnant?' Raine mused.

Raine couldn't help but have her curiosity piqued. If Yera was indeed pregnant, then she would have to work harder to ensure the woman's safety.

"I'm shocked you invited me for a chat," Raine commented with a meek smile. She wondered why Yera invited her when she knew how Yera was probably annoyed around her because of how she bluntly flirted and chased Xander before.

"I know, right. Well, it's just good to see familiar faces in here… Also, can I ask for a favor?" Yera directed. She wanted to make sure that no one would find out that she was there so she hoped that Candice could seal her mouth about seeing her on the island.

Raine sipped on her coffee before speaking, "Yeah, I know. Don't worry. I'll zip my mouth about seeing you here. I know Dr. Yang's life is in danger. It's all over the news, so I'm aware."

Yera let out a sigh or relief and, with a smile, whispered, "Thank you."

"Hmm, chocolate? Isn't cold mocha coffee your favorite?" Raine directly asked, making Yera frown. "Is it because you're pregnant?" 

Raine wanted to make sure if her intuition was correct.

"How did you know that iced mocha is my favorite?" Yera suspiciously asked. She didn't want to answer her about the suspicion of her pregnancy. They were not that close to be sharing such information with each other.

Raine laughed, "Everybody knows that at Yang Globals hospital. You're quite popular…"

Yera lightly smacked her lips as she looked at Raine, "Why work here?"

'She's avoiding my question about her pregnancy. This is interesting… I guess she's definitely pregnant? Or maybe she simply doesn't want to answer me?' Raine silently concluded.

Raine met her eyes and replied, "Why not? I like peaceful places. And to be honest, I want some time alone. An environment like this helps calm my thoughts on various things." She sighed, "Being in a simple place like this without too much chaos is my biggest dream. Ah, if only I could… I'll definitely stay on a very private island like this."

A brief lull in the conversation occurred, the silence between them passing only for a beat before the quiet was broken once more.

"By the way, how's Dr. Yang? Is he with you? If so, can I visit him? It's been a while since I last saw him," Raine asked in rapid succession, making Yera's face sour even further.

An awkward silence ensued. In an effort to keep the conversation moving, Raine broke out into a fit of laughter and mumbled, "Don't worry, I won't mess around with a pregnant woman around, okay. I'm just curious about how he's doing. I hope he is doing fine despite the threats in his life."

"He's good. No need to worry about him," Yera plainly answered, tersely sipping on her chocolate. "This place is good and relaxing. Very different from the city. It's like a paradise in here, to be honest. I'm sure you'll enjoy it here, unlike how busy things are working in the City and big hospitals like Yang Globals," Yera casually commented, diverting the topic.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. By the way, I went back to the city the other day. Rui is managing the company. You're aware of the DNA test, right? The one I did with the woman who looked like me?" Raine opened up. She didn't know why, but she wanted to lessen her load on that issue somehow and have someone to talk with about it. And somehow, she just felt like Yera was the perfect fit for it, knowing they were not that close, and as a result, was an unbiased third party. "It just doesn't make sense. I heard that she's from an isolated indigenous island." Raine added with a hum.

Yera looked at her for a moment, "Sometimes, unbelievable things can happen in a way that we thought shouldn't be possible. What matters is that we learn to face everything with courage. Or whatever it is, I suppose."

Yera was aware of the DNA testing, but she didn't bother to hear the results since it had nothing to do with her in the first place. She had her own burdens that she needed to focus on better.

"How long are you planning on staying here?" Raine whispered as her thoughts wandered back to Kiera Chan's for her to meet Mara since they were twins. She had said that Mara was overly delighted and positively couldn't wait to meet with her.

"How about you, Dr. Yao? Do you see yourself staying here for too long?" Yera asked her back.

Raine turned her head at Yera and answered, "It depends… For now, it's for the foreseeable future. Who knows? We might get along well while we're here." Raine looked at her own drink, "Having a drink together like this would be nice every once in a while. Though, I would've preferred it if Dr. Yang was with me right now instead of his pregnant wife," Raine jested with a wink.

"By the way, why do you think I'm pregnant?" Yera suddenly asked out of the blue.

"Dear… You're gaining weight. Can't you see your chubby cheeks in the mirror? I won't be surprised when you suddenly turn into a hog," Raine lackadaisically teased. "That would be an advantage for me, I guess."

With Yera's question, Raine concluded that Yera herself probably did not check yet if she was pregnant or not. But Raine somehow could sense that Yera was pregnant just with Yera's appearance and aura…

Yera's face twitched as Raine laughed out loud. She then calmed down as she apologetically said, "Ah, please don't mind me. But I guess it will be nice if your baby will take after a beautiful lady like me, don't you think? Maybe I should bully you more often?"

"You always loved to irritate and spoil the mood around you, Dr. Yao," Yera complained.

"Please just call me Candice. Friends?" Raine asked with a genuine smile, extending her hand to Yera for a handshake.

"Fine. So long as you'll stop bullying me, okay?" Yera scoffed, Raine only giving her a wink in response. "By the way, I noticed that your secretary is the same person that you had back in Yang Globals. Also, you have a pet wolf?" she curiously mentioned.

"Oh right. He is Tyrone, and this cutie here is Draki. I'll formally introduce you to them sometime…" Raine casually replied.

"The secretary… Is he your boyfriend?" Yera asked. 

Raine's eyes narrowed at her as she mumbled, "Hmm, are you asking me that to make sure that I'll no longer go after Dr. Yang?"

Of course not! It's just that I noticed how he looked at you…" Yera defended.

"How he looked at me?"

"Yeah… His eyes are full of sparkles, and there's something intense in there. It's like he's constantly trying to memorize your face, afraid that he might forget if he ever looked away too long. Something like that," Yera mumbled.

"Will you feel at ease if I say that he's my man?" Raine teased.

Yera only chuckled, "Ah, never mind. But I'm glad to see familiar faces on this island. Really, welcome, Candice. I also hope that we two would get along well."

"Yeah… Me too… And by the way, he's my man, and I believe I love him already," Raine proudly stated.. If all else, she could at least open herself up on how she really felt for Tyrone like this.
