Chapter 22 - Rare Coincidence (1/2)
Yera woke up on a comfortable bed. However, her head was spinning around, and it felt too heavy. She cursed, this feeling only happened to her whenever she was hungover.
”Tsk, did I drink a lot last night?” She muttered.
”Rise and shine, darling…” Xander greeted her with a tray of breakfast food in his hand and of course, his heartwarming smile.
”Do you want to have breakfast in bed, or on the table? Hmm, never mind, breakfast in bed is better. I bet you're hungover, so I'll feed you instead,” Xander offered as he sat beside Yera on the bed.
Yera was in a daze, as usual, from Xander's cheerful greeting. She didn't know how to react.
She noticed the presence of dark circles under Xander's eyes, so she asked, ”Didn't you sleep? You have eyebags…”
Xander gave her a cheeky smile as he snorted, ”Don't you remember what you did to me last night?”
Yera's eyes widened, ”Oh, did I do something crazy?! I often heard that I do crazy things when I'm drunk, but I don't usually remember what happens as soon as I'm sober.”
Xander sighed and held the spoon. ”Eat first, this soup is good for hangovers. Let's talk about it later because you need to get ready for work,” Xander commented as he blew on the soup he collected from a single dip into the bowl by the spoon to make sure it was not that hot.
Yera blushed and grabbed the spoon from Xander's hand as she timidly said, ”I can eat on my own.”
Xander did not release the spoon, and instead, a gentle smile formed on his face as he said in his most soothing tone, ”Don't be stubborn now. Your husband wants to serve you well, so let me feed you.”
”Ahh…” Xander gestured for Yera to open her mouth. She felt a bit awkward, but her headache stopped her from arguing with him and so she meekly did what he instructed.
After breakfast, Xander left her so she could get herself ready, and said that he would wait for her in the car. Yera took a quick shower and dressed up.
Today, she would start working at Yang Hospital as their new general surgeon. She had mixed feelings; nervous, and excited at the same time.
This would be her comeback as a surgeon, and she would do it at one of the most prominent and well-known hospitals in the city… She looked at her reflection in the mirror and tried to smile. Finally, she would be able to step inside an operating room again, instead of assisting the doctor in charge of the emergency room at a small hospital she was working at. She missed performing surgeries.
