Chapter 457 Reason to figh
Zaki was stunned when Hinari suddenly went limp. His eyes widened as he moved his hand to her face.
"H-hey... what happened? Hinari! Hey!" Zaki was starting to panic. The girl in his arms seemed to have suddenly lost consciousness and he was extremely baffled.
Panicking, Zaki hastily stood up and carried her towards the living room. As soon as he saw Sei sitting on the lounge with the two old men, he stuttered.
"S-sei! Call the doctor, Hinari suddenly fainted!"
Zaki’s voice was so loud that it startled everyone in the in the living room. When the old men looked at him and saw the unconscious girl in his arms, they froze.
"Take her upstairs. The doctor will be here shortly."
As soon as Sei said those words, Zaki dashed towards the stairs. His expression was so alarming that everyone thought that it might be something life threatening.
Gladly, Zaki’s doctor was standing by since yesterday so he immediately rushed towards Zaki’s room upon receiving a call.
In no time, everyone was gathered outside the room, waiting with tensed expressions. The atmosphere was heavy and the two old men couldn’t stay still.
Meanwhile, inside the room, Dr. Su sighed heavily as he looked at Zaki.
"Zaki, please don’t make such a look. This isn’t anything serious. She will be fine, she just needs to rest. I think she’s been dealing with a lot of stress lately. You said she went through a traumatic event just the other day so I guess it started there. She is also starving and a bit dehydrated. But don’t worry. Her immunity is quite strong, much stronger than you so she will recover in no time. I suggest you worry about yourself first. You can’t take care of her in that state so go eat first or you’ll end up fainting too."
After saying those words, Dr. Su then patted Zaki’s shoulders, "When she wakes up, have her eat healthy food and fluid." He said before he left the room, leaving Zaki to sigh deeply in relief like a jaded old man, as he sat on the edge of the bed running his fingers through his hair.
He then looked at the sleeping Hinari and he could see dark circles under her eyes. He knew that this was his fault for hurting her. If not for him, Hinari wouldn’t be in this state...
Staring at her like this, Zaki was also hurting. He suddenly thought about what would happen when he was the one laying there, dying. He already felt like this just by her getting sick. How much more for her when the time came? Zaki didn’t even want to imagine it. He felt so helpless. He never want her to go through such kind of pain.
...
Outside the room, drops of sweat suddenly appeared on the doctor’s forehead as he looked at how tensed everyone was. He could see the extreme worry in their faces as they asked about Hinari’s condition.
They looked like someone was dying so Dr. Su hastily explained the situation and somehow, the atmosphere immediately became lighter, as if the dark clouds hovering over them had been evaporated by the sun shining down on them. The panicking old men calmed down as Dr. Su approached Sei, who was leaning on the wall just steps away.
"Sir, my main concern is still Zaki. He must stop being too hard towards himself. I mean, he needs to stop worrying too much or thinking too negatively. His depressing thoughts will only affect his health and make it deteriorate faster. I already told him but I think it’s better if you were the one to tell him." The doctor whispered and Sei nodded.
"Mm. I’ll tell him."
When the doctor left, Sei asked everyone to wait in the lounge so they wouldn’t disturb the patient, before he entered the room.
As expected, Zaki looked so devastated. It was as if he was fighting against demons in his head all over again.
Seeing him, Sei was about to speak when Zaki suddenly rose and walked towards him. Sei looked at his eyes and when he noticed the drastic change in them, he was surprised. He thought that Zaki would be depressed again but the look in his eyes right now was better than ever. It seemed like there was some life back in them, as if his fighting spirit had been awoken.
He held Sei’s shoulder tightly as he looked at Sei with intense unusual fighting spirit.
"Sei, that thing you said. I will go for it! I don’t care how risky it is! I don’t care if it’s hopeless!"
As those words, left Zaki’s mouth, the corner of Sei’s lips curved up a little.
Finally. I am glad. I am so glad you finally found a reason to fight for your life, Zaki.
