Xander was disturbed by an unexpected visit by his favorite cousin, Keira Chan. Keira was almost like a real sister to Xander, so he told her about his sudden marriage with Yera.
"What? You got married in secret?!" Keira's shout roared inside Xander's office. Xander just responded with a big grin and an enthusiastic nod. Keira stared at him in disbelief as Xander narrated everything.
"Why did you only tell me about this now? And you did not even bother to introduce me to her. I'm a bit disappointed that I was left in the dark, Cousin Brother... But, gosh, finally! After all those years, that little buddy of yours can finally salute! He was not out of order, after all. He was just being picky I guess!" Keira teased as she laughed out loud, which made Xander redden from embarrassment. Keira was the only one among all his relatives who knew about his disorder.
"Shhh! Keep your mouth shut! This is why I didn't tell you about this! She does not know anything about it yet, okay? Oh, but you had met her already. She's the one who operated on your grandmother-in-law," Xander said with pride.
Keira's eyes widened as she blurted out, "Deyna Song!? Wait... wasn't she Bernard's fiancee? What's going on here?" Keira suddenly felt confused. Bernard had passed away a few months ago, though some time had already passed, and it was a fact that life must go on, but how what kind of twist happened that Bernard's fiancee became Xander's wife? So, Xander told Keira everything about Deyna.
Keira did not know whether to feel happy for Xander or pity him. But, just by looking at her cousin's sparkling eyes when he talked to her about Deyna Song, she could tell that her cousin liked her a lot, not just like but she could sense that Xander had already fallen in love with Deyna.
"If you need any help in capturing her heart, just tell me, okay, Cousin Brother? I will help you, so don't worry…" she offered excitedly.
Xander's face crumpled as he refused, "No way… I can manage by myself… I know you too well that I'm afraid you'll just sabotage everything."
Keira laughed and shook her head as she said, "Well, good luck then… But you know I love you, right? So, I'll really help you out…"
"Nah don't bother. I can feel it… The road to success is almost there dear cousin…" said Xander boastfully. It was true he could feel it. Yera said she liked him and that his care and feelings towards her would soon turn her liking into love. He giggled on his own silly thoughts that made Keira twitch her mouth. Her cousin, Xander Yang, was head over heels in love with a woman for the first time.
"You two must be fated," she voiced out because everything seemed connected. Bernard served as a way for the two to cross path…
Xander walked Keira outside the hospital where they saw a group of doctors arriving. "I must say that I've been seeing good looking doctors in your hospital lately," Keira commented.
Xander followed his cousin's gaze and his eyebrows arched seeing one of the doctors. "What good looking? That one with an eyeglass? Since when did you appreciate a nerdy looking man?" he scoffed, pertaining to Dr. Dion Chen, Yera's only male friend in the hospital according to what his wife herself said when he subtly asked Yera if she had any close friends in the hospital.
"Are you blind? What nerd are you saying? You know it enhances sex appeal! It's the genius aura that made them attractive like Rui. Your psychiatrist also looks hot in eyeglass, like that doctor." Keira pointed her lips in Dion's direction that made Xander knit his eyebrows.
"Maybe I should tell Zach that her pregnant wife is dreaming about other men in eyeglasses?" he scorned irritably. Keira ignored Xander's sulking and laughed.
"What's with you back bitching me dear cousin? Women love mysterious looking men! They're desirable! I will tell Zach to wear one like Clark Kent in Superman!" Keira burst dreamily, adding more vinegar in Xander's already sour facial expression.
After a while, Xander asked, "Do you think I should also wear one? You know, to add more sex appeal to myself, but i think it's not needed since I'm already oozing with sex appeal."
Keira's pick up stopped near them and before Keira went inside the car she chaffed, "Yeah oozing… oozing with inferiority complex." Before Xander could launch his attack Keira hurriedly went inside the car and left.
"That pregnant brat! How dare she say that I have an inferiority complex!" he complained as he turned to walk back inside the hospital. By that time Dion and the other doctors with him entered too but paused to greet and pay respect to him.
"Hmm, I see several new faces or probably I haven't met some of you guys around since I'm a bit busy." he commented. One of the doctors who was the senior said, "Yes Dr. CEO. They are new hired doctors though Dr. Dion Chen here had done his internship with us previously."
Xander nodded and casually offered, "Do you guys have important work to attend now? If you're available then come join me. Let's grab some coffee."
The doctors agreed so they went directly to the hospital cafe on the ground floor.
Xander kept giving Dion sneak peaks every once in a while. 'What sex appeal?' he mused because he could not see any sex appeal in Dr. Dion Chen as Keira said.
"So how do you find working in our hospital so far?" Xander asked while he drank his coffee. He noticed that Dion was looking intently behind him so he turned around but there was no one.
Dion was elbowed by Dr. Ye beside him as he whispered, "Dr. CEO is asking how do you find working in the hospital."
"Oh, it's good. The benefits are great and my co-doctors are very helpful, especially Dr. Song." Dion answered in his cheerful tone.
Xander's mouth twitched but then he quickly smiled and said, "Oh yeah,my darling…"
Dr. Ye and others almost choked on their drinks but no one dared to say a word. Dr. CEO was widely known as a playboy so they should not be shocked by this gesture from him. Meanwhile, Dion met Xander's gaze before Dion commented, "Dr. Song is a very nice woman and I believe she deserves to be with someone who can protect her well…"
Other doctors looked at each other and their eyes agreed to smack Dr. Chen's head at that moment before they shifted their eyes to their Dr. CEO. But surprisingly, their Dr. CEO only smirked and raised his coffee towards them before sipping.
Then Dr. CEO declared, "Well if that's the case then… I guess, I'm the only one capable of protecting her well."
