Chapter 68 Hesitation
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Davi was told by the doctor that her brother was fine. She found out that the taxi he boarded on his way back home from school crashed into another car. Thankfully, Haru only suffered some minor injuries, causing Davi to cry in relief.
After an hour, they finally able to leave. Haru hurt his left knee so Ryou offered to carry him. That moment, the boy kept staring at him as though he wanted to ask something.
"Who is he? Is he your husband?" he finally asked towards his big sister, causing Davi to clear her throat awkwardly. She looked at Ryou then faced his little brother.
"Ahh. No, this is big brother Ryou, he’s my husband’s big brother," she answered causing the man to clear his throat this time.
Er.. Big brother? I’m not really happy to become my master’s big brother, y’know.
"Yeah, just call me big bro, okay?" Ryou smiled at the injured boy as he messes his hair and the boy just nodded at him with a smile.
Ryou then carried the boy on his back and they started walking away. But while they’re still on their way to the entrance, Haru spoke towards his sister again.
"Sis, when will you introduce your husband to me?"
As soon as she heard his little brother’s words, Davi was a bit taken a back. She knew that ever since Haru woke up in the hospital, he was already asking questions even though he never said a thing. Haru was a clever boy, so she was aware that he’s been suppressing himself to ask her questions especially when Davi confessed to him that she’s already married. She knew that he was worrying this whole time that’s why she wanted him to meet Sei, however, she also knew that introducing him a masked man will only increase his suspicion.
"H-he’s a busy person. But don’t worry, I will introduce him to you when the time comes, okay?" Davi finally answered with a smile in her face. Gladly, Haru, who’s always been obedient to his sister just nodded as he looked at his sister with unwavering trust.
...
By the time they stepped out of the hospital, a taxi stopped in front of them. Ryou immediately put the boy inside the car while Davi’s line of sight were directed towards the black car across the road.
Seeing this, Ryou sidled towards her.
"I’ll take him home first so you can go and speak with him," he said. Davi was surprised with his sudden offer, but hesitation flashed across her eyes when she looked at her brother. However, she wanted to talk to Sei so she soon agreed with him.
After the taxi left, the black car soon stopped in front of her and she boarded into it.
"How’s he?" Sei asked while they were tailing the taxi in front.
"He’s alright. Thankfully, he just suffered minor injuries."
"That’s a relief."
"Mm. You’re right."
Davi was feeling hesitant to tell him she won’t go home tonight. It was because she’s been missing him a lot and she wanted to be with him, now that he finally came home after how many days. Yet at the same time, she can’t bear to just leave her brother in his current situation. Ever since that incident happened years ago, Davi’s world only evolved solely with his little brother. She stood as both his mother and father despite her being so young. She would even fly like wind no matter where she is or what she’s doing once she heard something has happened to her brother. She used to always prioritize his little brother more than anything else, even more than herself without any hesitation. That’s why she was quite surprise that she’s actually hesitating now.
That moment, she realized one thing, that her world was slowly changing.
