Chapter 158 - Yummier

The hospital at Plumeria Island was still undergoing construction even though it was already operational. It wasn't as big as the ones back in the Capital City since it was just an exclusive facility for the personnel on the island and their families, but it was still rather substantial.

Ryu Ken, who was the owner of the island, hired new doctors referred by Yang Globals hospital since the population on the island was growing. Since most doctors preferred to be in the City, they mostly had to staff interns rather than have accredited medical practitioners. As a result, they only managed to hire a few doctors in different fields that preferred to work in that kind of environment. That was why it was way too easy for Raine to offer her services and get accepted.

"The Kens are not that simple to read, so we should still be careful," Raine reminded Tyrone before they entered the hospital. 

Upon entering the lobby, the Director immediately welcomed her and Tyrone. However, she had a weird expression on her face upon looking at the wolf in Raine's arms.

"Oh, it's my pet wolf. She's quite adorable, yes?. She's not harmful, so no need to be afraid. I trained her well," Raine cooed. "I call her Draki…"

The Director simply nodded before her expression changed as soon as she saw Aire acting so meekly as the Director patted her on the head.

"Alright, I'll show you two to your clinic. I'm sorry that you have to start this early after you just arrived last night. You see, many of the children recently need check-ups, and not all of the doctors we have right now can deal with them, especially those with tantrums and everything."

"Hmm, I understand. Dealing with kids can be tricky. But then, that's my specialty. I'll do my best," Raine reassured. 

She was sure she would meet Yera soon in the hospital, knowing how the latter would definitely volunteer to be in this facility instead of just staying at Ryu's mansion on the island. That would be boring for an active medical practitioner like Yera.

With a nod, the Director showed Raine to her private clinic before leaving to attend to other matters. Immediately, Raine sat on her swivel chair, looking around as she spun on her seat. 

"Not bad…"

Nodding in approval, she then watched Tyrone place their stuff in her clinic. She was patting Aire on her lap she frowned. Tyrone had just placed her transparent jar filled with lollipops on her table, only it had some extra additions inside it.

"You put in chocolates?" she questioned with a lifted brow.

"Yeah. I mixed them in with the lollipops," Tyrone explained. "They're dark chocolates. Try having them instead. It's better and healthier than lollipops. I fear that your sugar will shoot up if you keep having too many sweets." 

Raine grabbed a lollipop and snorted with a pout, "Remove those dark chocolates. I don't like bitter things. Geez, I have enough bitterness in my life, so please don't you dare try to slowly remove my lollipops from my routine…"

Tyrone had an awkward smile as he mumbled, "You already have me and Aire. That would be enough sweetness in your life, don't you think? We're the very healthy kind of sweets too."

Raine only rolled her eyes as she unwrapped one vanilla-flavored lollipop and put it in her mouth. 

Tyrone stared at her as if he waiting for her reply. As such, Raine, as evil as she was, licked and sucked on the lollipop in front of Tyrone in a very seductive and sensual manner as she whispered, "It's so yummy, licking and sucking on it like this. So tell me, are you saying that your sweetness is yummier than this?"

"Raine! Aire's with us!" Tyrone scolded with a terrified look, making Raine burst out in a fit of laughter, ignoring the growing blush on Tyrone's face.

"What? Did I do something wrong?" Raine naively questioned.

Tyrone helplessly shrugged his shoulders, still flustered with how Raine managed to torment him with those evil tricks of hers.

Raine, still chuckling, murmured, "My dear, look at your Daddy walking around with a dirty mind like that. It's just some joke, so why is he getting worked up like that? Anyway, just try to sleep around while we wait for our patients to come in." 

She laughed inwards as she brushed Aire's fur, who seemed to be sleepy at the moment. Tyrone could only sigh as he continued with his work.

As time passed, he eventually flipped the 'the doctor is in' sign and began assisting the walk-in patients as soon as the time for Raine's clinic hours was up. To their surprise, they were swamped with work. Both of them didn't expect that many patients to come in. It would seem that the Director wasn't exaggerating when she said that many children on the island needed check-ups.

Raine was checking her final patient for the morning when Tyrone suddenly spoke on the Bluetooth she was wearing. "Oh, you're right. I see Yera approaching. She's in her white doctor's coat, so she's probably here to work." 

Tyrone quickly moved and intentionally opened Raine's clinic, not letting it close as he went inside so Raine could see Yera passing by the hallway from within her office.

"Say 'ahhh,' darling… Open your mouth, sweetie. This cute doctor needs to see those tonsils. Then later, I'll give you something for being a good girl," Raine commented with just enough volume in her tone that Yera would hear while performing a check-up on the little girl.

"Hmm, you're probably eating too many sweets and cold foods, right? How about we stop taking them for a while so that your tonsils will heal faster, sweetie?" Raine cooed as she started writing prescriptions.

On the other hand, Yera paused, hearing a familiar voice from an open clinic where a doctor in a doctor's coat was checking her patient.

"Oh, that's Dr. Yao. You probably know her since she was also a previous doctor at Sir Xander's hospital," the man with Yera informed. "We hired her after seeing her good credentials and background." 

"Dr. Yao?" Yera burst out when Raine walked her patient and her patient's guardian out of her door. At the doctor's call, Raine acted as if she looked surprised to see Yera.

"Oh hello, Dr. Yera Han.. You're here too? I can't believe we'd meet each other in a place like this," Raine cheerfully greeted Yera with her usual warm, but calculative smile.
