82 Don't expose me!

After the long day of 'work', Seraphina finds the pleasure torturing the man as she accelerates her speed. Reaching a huge establishment with a gigantic 'Jin Medical Group' signage -- she finally slows down up to the driveway.

Jace had a look of horror as they arrived at the said hospital. He has done a lot of extreme activities yet, this experience made him realized what the true meaning of extreme. With his aghast expression, he turned his head to the girl beside him who's smoothly entering the Jin medical driveway as if nothing happened.

"If you're only a law enforcer… you might have caught up to the man a few months ago." he mumbled mindlessly. Seraphina's interest was instantly piqued as she knows who he was talking about.

"Oh?"

As if a 'ting' sound of a light bulb as an idea pop out on his head, Jace's aghast expression reverse 360 degrees. His eyes started to twinkle at her sight.

"Hey, why don't you apply to my father?" he proposed.

"Huh?" her brows twitched hearing his sudden proposal. 'What the heck is he talking about?' she thought. But what she found rather commendable was how fast this man's change of attitude.

"Have you heard the news what happened 2 months ago? The man who turned the city upside down? Well, up until now, it still gives my father a headache!" he briefly explained.

'Of course, I remember that because it was me!' she answered in her mind but she was not that stupid to rat herself out.

"So, your father is an important man?" she probed as she settles her car inside the hospital's parking space.

"He's a minister." he spoke in a trivial tone as if it was no big deal.

"Even if I agree... What would I do? investigate the matter?" she ridiculed. Realizing her point, Jace finally figures out about his dumb proposal. It was at the spur of the moment as he thinks that if one day that madman would re-appear, at least, this girl could chase him to the end of this earth, however, he didn't think of the other loopholes such as what she spoke off.

"Uh, that…"

"And do you think I don't have a decent job? I am utterly insulted."

Jace was flustered due to the embarrassment of his nonsense blabber. And even if this girl tortured him, he felt they are even now as he unintentionally offended her. As he tries to apologize, Seraphina let out a big laughed.

"I'm kidding. Pft-!" she chuckles at this imposing child -- trapped in a man's body. Seeing her making fun of him, his face turned more beet red as he was fuming mad at her.

"You're impossible! Shameless!" he sassed her. He starts fiddling at his seatbelt and as soon as it came off, he grumbled his way out of the car. He stomped his way onto the Jin Medical entrance not giving her a second glance.

After her good laugh, Seraphina also unbuckled her seatbelt and made her way to the hospital. Since Sebastian Yue went to his 'regular' check-up and unintentionally sprained Jace's wrist, she didn't bother to ask the person's itinerary who hitched a ride with her. Also, she was unwilling to drop him off somewhere and make her his driver anyway.

After a couple of scans and examination, Sebastian Yue was finally done and as expected, his health was deteriorating much faster.

"Chairman Yue, this is a piece of advice as a friend. You should you get admitted so you could receive proper treatment." the doctor who seemed to be in his mid 50's wearing a white lab suit says in a worried and respectful tone. His striking white hair strand was neatly kept with his black ones yet it couldn't hide his aging.

"Doctor Wei, this old man couldn't evade death. I'd rather use the last days of my life guiding my granddaughter instead of staying in the hospital." Sebastian Yue's elderly tone inspirited and not a bit of worry can be trace in his voice. It was as if he accepted his fate. He smiled gratefully to the doctor who's a top specialist in the Jin Medical and been with him since his first diagnosis. Doctor Wei sighs heavily at his patients' stubbornness.

After receiving the same prescriptions from his doctor, Sebastian Yue was ready to depart and head home, alas, Seraphina was already outside the doctor's office -- waiting for him.

"Hi Gramps!" she greeted with a bright smile. Sebastian Yue's mood instantly lifts up seeing his precious kin bright smile.

"Why are you here?" he asked with his usual elderly tone.

"I came to pick you up. How's your check-up?" clinging her arms on her grandfather, she inquired.

"Just the same. This old man is this healthy as a cow." he lied to not make her worry.

Seraphina nodded in understanding showing her satisfaction to the result, however, she already knew his condition and if his old man doesn't want to confess his illness, she could only pretend to play dumb. Supporting Sebastian Yue, she heard his mumbling tease.

"Are you really here for me or you wanted to see young Jin?"

"Gramps! Don't expose me!" riding to his joke, she answered in an abashed tone. Sebastian Yue let out a laugh to her reaction -- satisfied.

Liam exited the operating room after the exhausting 12-hour surgery he performed. As he made his way towards his office still wearing his scrub suit, Jace figure appeared out of nowhere.

"Li!" his over the top annoying voice echoed through the hospital hall. Liam was too tired for the day and his friend's nagging is the last thing he wanted to hear.

Passing by him as if pretending he didn't see him, he continued taking strides towards his office. As he reached his office, Jace still followed him as he grumbled non-stop.

"Li, can't you see? I'm injured! Don't ignore me!" Jace raised his hand showing the cast around his wrist paired with a dejected tone to the man who's too drained to even care.

"I met that weird girl who I told you about! Now she injured me and torture me!"

"Hmm." Liam answered as he prepares himself for a nice bath. Since he was a director and the heir of Jin Medical Group, besides his insanely spacious office, he also had a private shower and amenities. One could even live in his office as it got a room for a comfortable bed to sleep.

"Hmm?! No, Li that girl is a beast! No, a monster! Her driving skills were insane! Fortunately, we weren't caught by the law or my father will kill me!" Jace continued his nonsensical complaints not minding his overworked friend.

"We should not get involved with that weird creature! I should also tell Alex about this and save him!" as if he drained his energy complaining, Jace sluggishly dragged himself on one of the comfortable leather sofas inside the commodious office. He sighs,

"That poor Alexander. I think he likes the girl, he even ditched me for her! Speaking of that superstar, have you heard from him?" he turns to Liam who wordlessly left him and only the sound of the turned on shower was heard.
