Chapter 257 - Everything Happens For A Reason Part 1


Three hours later - Hospital -

'I can't believe this.' Yuhi was standing in front of the waiting room door pacing back and forth. He ended up arriving a bit late so he could not go with her inside. By the time he arrived, it was already starting. Atushi, Jae - and the other guys in the group. Quatro Light, Atsuro and Shin were in the waiting room.Surprisingly though there was somebody missing.

Nagawa isn't here? Now that he thought about it. For a while now Sumire hasn't mentioned the man during their calls. She stopped going to the hospital too. But this hospital is under the Nagawa family right? He looked around for a bit and spotted violet coloured hair at the corner. Yuhi walked over and indeed found Hino and Nagawa.

The two seemed to be discussing something intently. It turned out that Nagawa was supposed to be in the operating room but he chickened out. Yuhi silently watched the two. For the past few minutes he had been frantic but watching Nagawa now, Yuhi could tell the man was in a worse state than him.

Yuhi scratched his head. "Nagawa, quit freaking out. We already knew. Sure this came unexpectedly but it was bound to happen eventually.

"No, Nagawa knew and that is why he is freaking out. He knows plenty of women who have given birth at a young age. But lost their lives."

So even ' royalty' of his degree can make such an expression. Even so, it doesn't seem right that the fiance isnt here. Surely they didn't just contact him right? . "Don't just stay out here, let's go to her side." Yuhi offered.

He dislikes Nagawa but even he could tell that the man was worried about Sumire.

Nagawa brushed past him"Huh? Where are you going?"

"I will return to work."

At that comment Yuhi frowned and yanked Na1gawa's shoulder. Why would he go back to work when he is clearly worried about her?

The moment his hand made contact, Yuhi began to hear voices.

'She'll die. It's too late'

'Delayed labour. Dangerous'

'Sumire will die. The baby will die too.'

'Death death'

'Everyone will die.'

'This is my punishment for hurting her.'

'No no..'

The words death kept repeating over and over.

Yuhi paused and took a step back. 'This guy actually regrets it?' Sumire is this important to Nagawa. Actually Yuhi was testing Nagawa Sano too. Otherwise the man would not have this many moments with Sumire. So even a person like this ends up with regrets? Yuhi thought that Nagawa Sano was lower than scum but perhaps he still has a bit of humanity left in him.

Sano must have sensed his presence since he turned around. "Terashima."

"...are you not going back in?" Yuhi asked awkwardly.

"You must think this is hilarious. Even though I am a doctor I fear death."

Yuhi looked at him puzzled. "Why would I laugh? Your human it is normal to fear death."

"Aren't you frightened? She could die."

"It's not that I'm not. But if I think that way I could jinx it. Besides what Sumire needs right now is for somebody who believes in her."

At that comment Sano burst into laughter. A dark and yet crazed look appeared in his eyes. "You can say that for sure with no evidence. Then let me tell you something interesting. Women with frail bodies have a higher chance of dying through childbirth. There is a high risk they will exchange their life for the child."

"...that won't happen." Yuhi knew that much. When he realized Sumire was pregnant he did his own research.

"That thing inside her isnt normal either."

Yuhi frowned when he heard those words. "That is a life you're talking about."

"Are you really happy with her having another man's child? Terashima, you can't trick me."

Indeed, it doesn't make him happy. But at the same time the other guy is Mamoru. Mamoru who helped him and even brought them together. When Mamoru started dating Sumire he contacted him and said just two words. That man told him to trust him. From the beginning that person sacrificed his own feelings. So how could he dislike the child?

Hino who was silent this entire time spoke up. "Sano, I know how you feel but she wouldn't want this."

Before Sano could say a word one of the nurses burst out of the operating room frantic. "Where is Doctor Sano?"

"Did something happen?" Sano stepped forward.

"The patient is losing a lot of blood, we--we don't know how to.."

"Calm down."

"Also she said..to call you."

It seems at the very least Sumire trusts Sanos skills as a doctor.

"Terashima, do you trust me?"

Yuhi blinked at the sudden question.

"Why does it--"

"Do you?"

"For this yes." Yuhi suddenly understood. Nagawa was asking his consent as Sumire's partner, as the one who would help her look after the child.

"Thats enough."

The hours after Nagawa went in the operating room seemed to drag on for hours. The missing fiance who had been with Sumire at the party arrived two hours ago. It seemed like the man was dealing with the people at the party. Well they did call for an ambulance rather abruptly. It seemed there was an incident at the gathering too.

She should never have attended that stupid gathering. His thoughts broke off when he saw the red light flash green indicating it was over. One of the nurses came out and asked for the patient's spouse.

"Terashima, go in there."

"…Shouldn't you go Mr fiance?"

To her surprise the third Prince merely shakes his head. "The one she called for is you. Go to her side or I'll cut your throat the next time you interfere with my side's plans."

"Hm."

They took him away, to run some tests. But they say he's healthy. And a strong one, what a relief huh."

"Yeah….so when were you going to tell me about this hmmm?" Yuhi pinched her cheeks. They spoke when she was on her way to the party venue too so why did she not say anything?

"Ite. Yuhi, don't be a bully when I just went through a painful experience."

She scared him so much. He acted all calm in front of Nagawa and said all those brave sounding things but he knew better. The one who was most frightened was him. Actually he thought the same as Nagawa, the risk is higher because this is a child with supernatural abilities.

"It hurts but it was fun."

Yuhi looked at her dumbfounded. Is this woman crazy? He almost had a heart attack when he heard the news. If he used normal transport he would not have arrived until the next morning, but he used his ability.

His thoughts broke off when he felt her soft hands on his cheek. "Were you scared? It's okay, I'm alive."

After she said those words he could no longer hold his emotions back, and pulled her into his arms. Sumire who had been laying down on the operating table for so long seemed startled but she suddenly laughed.

"Uhh, what are you doing? There are people.."

Indeed there were still people in the room but none of that mattered to him. What matters the most is the girl in his arms. "What if you died?" He mumbled.

"I see, indeed that could have happened." Sumire trailed off. "But like I told you before everything happens for a reason, even the daily misfortune events. If I died today it would have had a meaning."
