Chapter 26 - Wont Be A Bad Idea (1/2)

”Boss, we have captured one of the remaining suspects, but there's a little problem…” reported Ralf from the other side of the line.

”What is it?” Xander asked.

”He is in a coma at a small hospital in the province…” answered Ralf as he reported everything to Xander, without missing a single detail.

”Transfer him to our hospital, and make sure to do it discreetly,” instructed Xander before he ended the call.

Xander stretched his back and neck to relieve muscle stiffness. He was in his study, checking the latest report on Yera and her family's case. Whoever was behind it was undoubtedly a very capable person.

Four culprits were involved in Yera's abduction, but unfortunately, two had been confirmed dead while the other two had gone missing. Now, Ralf had at least found one of them. Yera would still need to verify the identity of the suspect since she was the only one who could do so. She said she could remember the faces of her kidnappers, except for the one whom she assumed to be the leader.

He had planted some people inside the Life Hospitals group because they were the main competitor of his hospital in the capital city. But until now, his people still could not find anything regarding the death of Old Master Han.

Xander leaned his head on the headrest of his chair and closed his eyes. He also wanted to know the person behind Yera's case, and already had some of his people to investigate Yera's former fiance, Lyndon Chu. But to his surprise, he was clean.

He stayed like that for a while, and perhaps because he was a bit exhausted, Xander dozed off.

Yera was watching television and noticed that Xander had been in his study for quite a while.

Yesterday was a long day for her, so she had gone straight to bed as soon as she was home. Surprisingly, she could sleep like a baby at Yang's Mansion. She hadn't had any sleepless nights ever since she moved in there. Those sleepless nights, in which the accident with Bernard would keep replaying in her dream, and would always end up in her waking up in the middle of the night, sweating, crying, and sometimes screaming. She didn't have that anymore.

Today, Xander introduced his best friend to her, who was also one of the best psychiatrists in their country. Like Xander, Dr. Rui Dee seemed to be a carefree and jolly person. Xander told her that Rui knew about her situation and that she could trust him because Rui was like a brother to him.

Xander also emphasized that Rui would soon play a vital role in helping her.

Yera turned off the television and looked at the wall clock. Then she exhaled loudly...

Xander was very thoughtful as he would always message her to remind her not to skip meals. She really appreciated it, but it also made her a bit uncomfortable. She decided that if he still continued to act like a real husband after a week, then she would have no choice but to confront him and remind him that they were just a make-believe couple, so he could stop acting affectionately even in text messages.

”He's overdoing it,” she murmured as she looked at the door to Xander's study.

She wondered what that clown was doing in there, so she stood up and walked toward the room.

She knocked on the door a few times, but there was no response. So she opened the door and entered the room. She saw Xander sleeping in his chair. ”Why is he sleeping here like that? So uncomfortable,” she muttered as she walked toward him.

She noticed the file on his desk and sighed. It was all about her case, and it was the latest report.

Xander was working hard to keep his part of the bargain…
