"Yeah, he's my husband. He decided to volunteer on his wife's project this time. Oh, how romantic he is, right?" I said with a wide smile, slowly tapping Rafael's arm. He released his handshake with Feren at once.

"Aaah… You're that world-record doctor. Oh my… oh my… It's an honor to meet such a noble doctor. Oh my…"
Feren reflexively shook Rafael's hand again, this time with admiration shining plainly on his face.
