Chapter 1026 This is me Part 2

HINO

"I was thinking, I had to get her away quickly before she brought that abomination with her." Eli snarled.

Hino frowned. "Are you talking about the kid?"

"That thing, is no normal child. As expected of Lucifer's genes."

While Hino disliked Lucifer, that child is still Sumire's. Moreover, right now all he could focus was on the memory of Eli hurting Sumire. It overlapped with the one from their childhood.

"You hurt her again." Hino emphasised the last line.

Eli exhales deeply. "I do regret it, otherwise I wouldn't have let you hit me." He trails off. "But it was necessary. Don't you know what he has done to her?"

"Of course I know, Lucifer didn't hesitate showing off."

Eli's gaze darkened. "Then you should know, what I did was for the best. At the very least, when I pushed out the soul. I also pushed away the taint inside her."

Hino truly didn't know what to say. Doesn't Eli understand? Lucifer has already touched Sumire repeatedly, he even got her pregnant. No matter how much they complain, what's done is done.

"Go back." Hino instructed. "Go back and bring Aki with you."

Eli chuckled. "Do you really want me to drag him back? His mood has been unstable recently."

"That's exactly why I need to break into his mind and see what's going on."

"Very well, but he won't be easy to catch again. He only went along because I said I was going to take the Queen back."

Hino sighed frustrated. It always feels like he is going around in circles when he speaks to this person.

"Just do it, and bring him somewhere far from Sumire. She can't know about this."

When he briefly broke into Eli's mind, he saw it. Aki tainted in darkness, and there was something else inside him. Something more sinister. He won't let Aki appear in front of Sumire, until he figures out what that something is.

.....

The operation was thankfully a short one. Although Sano immediately brought Sumire to the private ward. Some people still saw her. Hino was already making a few different calls to prevent the news from leaking as much as possible. He turned to Sumire who upon seeing him rushed over. She was still weak from having the operation done, so she stumbled but he quickly caught her.

"I want my daughter Hino. Please let's go back." Sumire begged. "I can't leave her there. He must be angry. How about if he hurts her?"

"Sumire, calm down. I can't say he is a good guy. But you told me that he treated you well, and as far as I can see those words must be true. Your not injured at all."

Not a single scratch. Even though the black alice organisation people are just as dangerous as Lucifer. Before Hino could say another word, the doors opened revealing silver coloured hair. He scanned the room, and upon seeing Sumire. He swept the girl into his arms.

"You're safe, I saw the destruction in the manor and thought you-" Toh shakes his head. "You're okay."

"Toh, my-my little girl." Sumire sobbed.

"Ssh,it's alright. I will check up on her and we will find a way to get her back. It's alright Sumire."

"Lies..your lying--"

"When have I ever lied to you, beautiful?"

"You've never lied." Sumire mumbled.

"Exactly. Trust me like you always have." Toh scooped Sumire up and placed her on the bed. "Close your eyes beautiful, Mamoru will be coming here in a bit."

"Ru?"

"-and he will be bringing Huan. I left Kyoko and Satomi with Hamano, and when you're ready to see them I'll contact him."

Sumire sobbed again at the mention of her children. Hino had never seen her like this before. Even if Lucifer treated her well, the weight of everything that has happened these past two months is too much for her.

Hino watches Toh place a gentle kiss on the girl's forehead, and a content sigh passes her lips.

Toh's gaze is gentle as he said softly. "Sleep beautiful."

"Mm, okay." Sumire obediently closed her eyes.

It didn't take long before Sumire fell asleep. He exited the room with Mashima and at first neither of them said a word.

"Will she..be alright?"

Toh sighed deeply. "It's complicated. She still has her memories of her time together with Lucifer, and everything they did."

"She believes she betrayed Yuhi." Hino said understanding.

Certainly to the Sumire who has her memories back, she would see everything that has happened the past two months as a betrayal. From an outsider point of view, Sumire carelessly abandoned her children to run off with another man.

Hino was getting a headache just thinking about what would happen if the media found out. Lucifer has proven that he isn't the one deliberately sabotaging Sumire's career, it was Jian Hiriji. The man so much as admitted it, during his visits to the dungeon.

Jian admitted to his crimes, but at the same time. Hino saw the pain in his eyes. There is definitely more to that man than meets the eye.

"Yes. So for a while she may wake up screaming and thrashing--" Toh shakes his head. "Can you erase it?

"I can but her child-" Hino hesitated.

If he erases what happened between her and Lucifer, it would mean taking away the memories of her child.

"That child should never have been born." Toh said angrily.

"You can't mean that--"

"Yes, yes I can. Think about it Narasaki, if she stays like that she will only suffer." Toh said coldly.

Hino exhaled deeply. "Let me talk to her first."

Toh sighed but nodded as he stepped back and let him into the room.

Hino re-enters the room and his gaze darts towards the empty bed. His heart sped up when he saw the open window and was about to bolt towards it, when he heard the sound of sobbing.

He turns his attention to the sound to find Sumire hunched in the corner of the room.

He slowly approached her. "Sumire." Hino called out.

She looks up, fear in her eyes.

"Please I'll be good. I'll stop crying. Please don't erase it." Sumire begged.

Hino felt his chest swell in pain seeing her beg like this.

'This power of mine is truly a curse.' The power to steal memories may seem convenient to others, but Hino disliked it. How many more times will he have to take Sumire's memories from her? Even though what happened recently was Lucifer's doing, he still felt guilty.
