Chapter 185: Control
Xander suggested a lot of scenarios but all were rejected by Yera since all his options took Yera out of the picture in the actual scene. Xander could only sigh and accept the plan that Yera made in the end.
Their next target was Yera’s uncle Roy. The plan must somehow be quite effective given how the gossips inside the hospital were circulating.
One of those was that Yera was haunting the hospital since she was probably in despair, asking for justice for what happened to her and her grandfather.
There was also a noticeable change in Jane’s behavior lately after the incident where Yera showed herself to her as the ghost. So Dion started pursuing her by going out with her more often. Dion could feel that Jane knew something important regarding Old Master Han’s death.
Dion also kept mentioning to Jane that he could often see Yera on places where they went to.
"Jane, I’m not sure if I should tell you this... But lately, I’ve been seeing Yera lingering a lot around the places where we go. Well, she is mostly standing at a distance, usually at your back not far away. I mean, I’m not connected with her, I hadn’t known her at all, so why would she show herself to me, so I thought maybe you were close to her? Do you happen to see her whenever we are together?" Dion straightforwardly told Jane while they were having lunch.
’At her back?’ Jane nervously thought inwardly. She cursed inside and thought to never look back at all for the rest of her life.
Dion noticed Jane becoming restless. She forced a smile and murmured, "I was not close with her Doc. And I have never seen her whenever I had been with you..."
Maybe, Dion thought, they needed more shoving as Rizie suggested. Rizie wanted to extend the frightening play to Jane’s apartment, but he refused; however, seeing Jane’s reaction now, Dion was rather convinced to accept Rizie’s suggestion.
"Hmm, I see. I really wonder why she’s..." Dion continued but was stopped by Jane.
"Doc, please stop... I’m sorry but can we please not talk about your third eye views? I will really appreciate it if you do not mention things like these to me whenever we’re together. I’m uncomfortable." Jane almost begged. Dion could see the conflicted look on her face.
