Chapter 93: I'll Run To Your Side

As the chase was happening, Xander and Yera were instantly brought to the police station for their statement on the explosion. The former had everything discreetly covered up. And after everything was cleared, he headed back to the site where the incident happened. Sure enough, investigators were already all over the place. 

"What's the update," he asked one of his men, who was closely monitoring the situation.

"The man on the motorcycle got away, Boss. The initial findings say that there's been a malfunction on the truck's brakes, and the driver probably lost control…" his man reported. "The body of the driver will be sent for an autopsy to check if he was drunk, or there was a foul play involved in all this. But Sir…" 

His man hesitated, which made Xander frown. "What is it?"

"The incident during the company outing... The style is the same. Both seemed to be staged to look like an accident or a result of negligence; where there's a malfunction that would be the cause of the explosion…" His man expressed his opinion.

Xander audibly breathed out.  "We must find the man on the motorcycle. It seems to me that he was probably giving us a warning, deliberately chasing us out so that we'd end up running out of that spot… If not for him, Yera and I would've probably turned to ashes by now," he spoke. 

Xander felt a headache coming on. Things were getting complicated, and he, himself, could feel that these were no mere accidents. Still, they would need more time to trace everything properly.

"Secure all of the CCTV footage in the area," Xander added as he looked at his surroundings.

Rui, on the other hand, had almost taken a nap in his car as he waited for Dr. Yao to return. She had requested to stop over at the nearby convenience store to buy some water and go to the restroom.

Stretching his arms, he looked at the clock and wondered, 'What time did she get out of the car again?' He didn't bother to look at the time when she left because he suddenly felt sleepy.

Getting worried, he stepped out of the car to go and check on her in the convenience store. But right as he was about to enter, he saw her coming out, walking towards him already with a paper bag in her arms. 

'What's wrong with her?' he thought as he saw Dr. Yao limping. As such, he blinked again just to make sure that what he just saw was real. And sure enough, she appeared to be walking properly again.

"Here…" Raine almost threw him the paper bag as she quickly entered Rui's directly. The other doctor immediately followed and went inside his own car. 

"Are you alright?" Rui asked as he picked up the bottled water from the paper bag and handed over one to Dr. Yao. 

"Yeah, why?" Raine asked as she drank the water. 

"I think I saw you limping earlier…"

"It's just a figment of your imagination. Besides, you look like you've just woken up from a deep slumber." Raine scoffed as she put on her seatbelt. 

Rui didn't react to her words. Instead, he stepped on the gas and pulled them back on the road.

In reality, Raine was positively hurting. She had had a minor laceration on her right leg that she had quickly put a plaster over to stop the bleeding. It was reckless of her to show her limp, and Raine inwardly scolded herself for her weakness.

She took a deep breath, recalling how Tyrone seemed to be worked up before about Rui remembering her killing someone. In her fellow doctor's eyes, they were all humans. But the fact of the matter was that they were actually all mutants.

"Why do you keep sticking around me? Aren't you afraid of me?" Raine vaguely asked. 

Rui let out a long sigh before he sincerely answered, "I don't know either, but I feel like you're walking on the wrong path. And somehow, I have this urge to help you walk in the right direction."

Raine pursed her lips for a perfect smug smile, "You are one weird psycho… I just hope your hunch about people is always right, or else you'll end up getting yourself into trouble someday."

She wanted to laugh at what Rui just said, but it wouldn't be nice to mock someone serious with their words.

Rui shrugged his shoulders and simply answered, "I like trouble. It's always a challenge, teaching me a lot of things along the process of solving them."

"Yeah, I noticed that trouble seems to like you too…" Raine breathed out, turning her head to Rui, who happened also to sneak a glance at her simultaneously.

At the shared eye contact, Raine winked at him for the first time. 

Reaching their destination, Rui dropped Raine off the building entrance as she requested. She then immediately walked inside the elevator headed directly to her penthouse. She hissed as she avoided leaning on the wrong foot. It was already getting more than uncomfortable because of her wound.

Opened the door, she sighed as she saw that Tyrone was already there.

"Xander is already safely back home," Tyrone quickly reported before Raine could even ask him. "What happened?" 

Tyrone frowned as he watched Raine limp her way towards the couch. She looked like she was barely holding on.

"Please get my first aid kit," Raine asked, and Tyrone quickly obliged.

It was only a miracle that Raine had purposely worn black jeans with a ripped style today. It allowed her to hide her wounds from Rui's observant eyes. 

"You got hit?" Tyrone asked with a dark expression on his face as he watched Raine cut her jeans with the scissors, revealing the improvised plaster underneath.

"Yeah, it's just a minor laceration. I'll just disinfect the area since I put the cover on without disinfecting it first," Raine said.

"I'll do it," Tyrone offered as he bent down. She would've declined. Being a bit tired and sleepy from her ordeal, Raine eventually let him do it anyway. 

Tyrone had a clenched jaw as he cleaned up Raine's wound. It was indeed a minor wound, but he still couldn't help but be agitated at the fact that he couldn't help her out.

Tyrone gritted his teeth as he gently applied the medicine to Raine's skin. Scolding, he whispered, "Next time, it won't matter to me whether you kick me out or not, but I'll definitely not follow your instructions to stay put because I'll run to your side if ever you get in danger like that again."

There was no response, so Tyrone raised his head to look at Raine. Seeing her, he shook his head with a smile carved onto his lips.. Her beautiful face was just as beautiful even in deep slumber.
