Chapter 349 - Your doctor?

Seraphina pursed her lips as she restrained herself from laughing out loud. Surely, Dragon could disregard his reputation in front of her and for the sake of his little brother down there. She did make the right choice of her initial punishment towards this man.

Since she had a good time seeing this sight of Dragon, Seraphina strode to the bathrobe. She picked it up and wrapped her body with it. She waved her hand off and spoke, 

"Whatever, behave like what a prisoner should be." With that said note, Seraphina left the room with only a piece of bathrobe covering her body. 

When Dragon heard the door cracked opened and was immediately shut closed, he was rendered speechless as he immediately sat up from kowtowing. Blinking his eyes numerous times, Dragon jolted from his position to stand.

"Did -- Did she left wearing only that 'thin' bathrobe?!" In his perspective, even though Seraphina's cover was thick enough, alas, as protective as he can be, it was still considered thin.

Clenching his teeth which caused his jaw to tighten, Dragon wordlessly followed suit and find her to bring her back on her room for them to 'rest'. He won't let any other man see more of her skin than him hence, he aggressively ransacked the house search for her.

It didn't take long when Seraphina reached the temporary infirmary where Leon and Rex rest. Arriving at the said area, she witnessed some people setting up huge medical equipment that almost takes most of the space inside the room. They had to transfer the two injured men on the side as they maximized the whole room.

Suddenly, Jack's figure appeared in front of her and caught her eyes then chanted. Seraphina was too apathetic to bother and only heard him say 'sleep' and snapped his hand. Obviously, his attempt to hypnotize her didn't take effect as Seraphina only raised her brows.

"Done?" 

"Damn, still not working, eh? Aren't you tired, boss?" Jack frowned because once again, his pride was once again felt inferior before her. He already lost count how many times he tried and miserably failed; this time is just one of those unsuccessful attempts.

"You should know very well that your assignment is one of the crucial parts of the plan." Even though Jack wasn't saying anything, Seraphina knew his disp_l_e_a_s_u_r_e regarding their ongoing plan.

Indeed, Jack was the one and only who could do the job albeit it was also meant that he won't be able to join the fun part. 

"Tch, I know that." Jack frowned even more and admitted that the plan she came up with was flawless. It's just that among them, he was more enthusiastic to see their gain first hand and not be the cannon fodder.

"Boss, this is the doctor Tuna recommended to me," Tito together with the middle-aged man doctor in civilian clothes approached Seraphina.

Scrutinizing the person, Seraphina tilted her head and asked, "What's your name?"

The doctor slightly raised his gaze and met her magnetizing pair of jet black eyes. For a second, he thought he was being s_u_c_k_e_d to the world of nothingness as her eyes were akin to a black hole.

Alas, her whole facial features when put together make her look like a harmless young miss of a prominent family. But, he clearly heard Tito address her as the boss which made him be wary towards the woman. After all, Tito was strong enough and for him to regard her with much respect -- just who the hell is this woman?

Fortunately, his years of existence treating felons and local gangs helped him know his disposition. He just needed to not cross it and do his job professionally. Gulping a mouthful of saliva, the man introduced himself. 

"I'm doctor Mariel Min."

"Mariel? Interesting name for a guy." Seraphina nodded in understanding. Though she wasn't surprised for a guy to have a girl's name, alas, it just didn't fit his features at all.

"You have a family?"

When Mariel heard this, it's as if a loud roaring thunder ranged on his ears. Family? Why would she ask if he had a family? What is she up to? Mariel panicked and glanced at Tito. To his dismay, Tito had also a slight shock on his face and just heedlessly stared at Seraphina -- even Jack who seemed that nothing could make him speechless looked at her with an unreadable expression plastered on his face.

Seeing this, it only made Mariel's muddled mind be in a mess even more. He already concluded that he might not survive the night with his only family. Is this the end of him? Did his regular client just delivered him to his death?

Mariel instantly went on his knees, he pleaded, "Please ma'am, I will do my best to treat your subordinates and I won't say anything about every one of you, I didn't see or hear that related to you -- I swear with my life!"

His action made the three of them knit their brows. Moreover, his words made her undereye twitched. Just what is wrong with this fellow? His imagination was rather wild to think that Seraphina would harm her despite tending to her confidants.

"Pfft--! HAHAHA!" After some time, Jack's loud laughter not only snapped the slightly trembling Mariel but also the other men under Alexander Han who was setting up the equipment turned their head to him.

"You've got a good imagination there, eh?" Jack added in between his laughs.

"Old man, what are you thinking?" Tito lightly chuckled seeing this middle-aged man kowtow before Seraphina. He added in reassurance, "Stand up there, man. We are not that ungrateful to the person who helps us."

"Huh?" 

"I will protect your family, in return, be my doctor." Seraphina emotionlessly dived on the bottom line.

"Your doctor?" out of nowhere, Dragon's displeased and evident jealousy seeped out from him hearing Seraphina uttered 'my doctor.' Glancing at the unfamiliar middle-aged man, his eyes constrict. Whether it was a child or an old man, he had enough love rivals and he doesn't need one more.
