Aspaira, unlike the other members of the team, wasn't privy to the reactions that occurred frequently between Kieran and Dr. Riley. Because of this, it naturally led to her assumption that they were a couple.
Of course, this assumption was also spurred on by the fact that Kieran currently held Dr. Riley's hand, as well as the fact that they were somewhat close to each thanks to Dr. Riley attempting to console Kieran moments before.
After hearing this question, Dr. Riley's cheeks reddened as she immediately snapped her head to Aspaira. "Not at all! He's my patient, so I have to ensure the best care. Otherwise, how can I call myself an excellent doctor?"
Meanwhile, Kieran silently viewed Dr. Riley's reaction, noticing how she subconsciously tightened her grasp on his hand.
All of a sudden, Kieran felt playful, drawing in his finger to tickle her palm.
"!!"
