Published at 6th of January 2019 07:14:12 AM Chapter 77

After a series of tests and repeated examination of his neurologic and cognitive functions, Masaichi Xiu underwent decannulation .

After the otorhinolaryngologist finished applying the dressing to cover the stoma and instructing how to speak and cough, the patient was left and the family was allowed to go in .

Aoi Xiu began to cry again . "Maskun, oh my son . . . " she could not finish what she wants to say . She hugged him tight as her tears poured out .

After being released from the embrace, Masaichi pressed on the gauze on his neck and spoke, "O-okaasan . . . " He then had a gentle smile .

Suddenly, a little voice was heard . "Yes! I get to see Otousan wake up!"

Manta was talking to his nanny as he walked into the room .

Masaichi started crying as his little boy joyfully climbed onto him .

"Tousan!" Manta gave his father a warm hug . "You're awake, Tousan! Yey!"

Masaichi looked back at those hazel eyes staring at him . He asked, but the question was directed more on his mother, "Where's . . . "

Aoi could not bare to look at him at this moment .

"Oh yeah! Tousan, I have something for you!" Manta went down from the bed and ran towards his nanny who was carrying his bear-shaped bag .

Masaichi concluded that Agatha did not survive the incident . He looked at his son as he cried . Manta still had his chubby cheeks and hands, but he had grown taller .

As he was reminiscing about his wife, he suddenly heard his son blurt out, "Mommy!"

A man in an all black suit made steady steps towards the study of a mansion . Behind the desk sat a middle aged woman with thin, straight brows, dark brown eyes, tall nose, and thin rouged lips .

"Ms . Wong, our hospital staff reported that Young Master Xiu has awaken . "

The dark eyes squinted subtly . "Can he walk?"

"It would be some time before he could . "

"We'll let them be happy for now . " A sinister smile flashed on her fair face that was regularly treated with botox, so there was not much change in it .

A knock on the door was heard . The woman nodded on the man, who opened the door .

"Madam, Chairman Song is here to see you . "

The woman stood up from the swivel chair and strode all the way to the sitting room .

Chairman Song stood up to greet her . "Madam Ming . "

Midori sprinted along the hallways and bolted through the door to the intensive care private room despite being in heels .

As her eyes landed on the patient's bed, they were instantly filled with tears .

"Niisan!" She ran to embrace him .

Masaichi's face which was initially filled with joy when his son called out 'Mommy' to someone at the door turned into confusion . He is currently embracing his sister, not his wife . Was he having an illusion?

When she pulled out from the embrace, he called her, "Midori . . . "

She smiled brightly and laughed with tears streaming down her cheeks . "Yes!" Never had she been that happy that someone recognized her .

On the other hand, Masaichi kept on looking towards the door, as if waiting for someone else to come in .

Midori noticed this . "Niisan, are you looking for something?" She also stretched her neck, trying to follow his gaze .

Aoi Xiu also had a look of concern and looked over at the same direction .

He pressed on his gauze . "Just now, Manta called out 'Mommy' so . . . "

Aoi and her daughter exchanged painful looks .

Manta innocently walked back to his father, holding a piece of paper . "Tousan, gomen ne (1) . . . " Then he turned and pulled on Midori's blouse . "Mommy, I'm sorry . I think Otousan got it wrong . " His little face became a frown which was threatening to cry .
