Chapter 647 - More Hatred
Chapter 647 – More Hatred
When the woman returned to her car, she made a call and reported, “I’ve just contacted Ken Takasuji, and I believe he won’t refuse our request.”
“Thank you.” A man’s voice resounded.
“Uto, I’m willing to do anything for you!” The woman no longer had the pride she displayed a moment ago and her voice went soft.
Uto Koizumi promised, “I will marry you after this matter comes to an end.”
“I’ll wait for you!” The woman softly replied.
Uto Koizumi had finally decided to make a move against Su Tao. The reason was simple, Su Tao was his father’s physician. To him, if his father lived for another day, that meant that he would have to wait another day to enjoy the inheritance.
Uto Koizumi believed that he’s a filial son, and Kohei Koizumi already had no hope. Rather than suffering the torture of his disease, why not be relieved of it earlier and leave this painful world? Hence, he wasn’t supportive of Asaka Ochi, bringing her father around the world to seek a miracle cure. On the contrary, he believed that it would torture his father more.
It was especially so after he heard that his father received Su Tao’s treatment in China, and his father could live for another year. When he heard that news, his mood instantly became terrible and he believed that Su Tao was a cruel person for extending his father’s torture for another year.
He only wanted to make Su Tao feel pressured by sending killers. He did not genuinely want Su Tao’s life, but he just wanted to force Su Tao to leave Japan.
After hanging up the phone, a fair hand enveloped Uto Koizumi’s neck as an indolent voice resounded, “Who was it that called you so late?”
“Just a friend of mine.” Uto Koizumi smiled.
“Friend? I just heard that you’re going to marry her!” The woman threw her temper in a coquettish manner.
“I can marry you as well as long as you’re willing!” Uto Koizumi smiled.
“No way! For a man like you, what’s the meaning of marriage? Either way, you will still fool around. On the contrary, I would rather be your lover.” The woman planted her lips over.
Uto Koizumi naturally wouldn’t reject and the two of them continued what they were doing.
But all of a sudden, his phone rang. When Uto Koizumi saw the number, he initially didn’t want to pick up the phone. But after seeing the caller ID, he ultimately chose to pick it up.
Asaka Ochi’s solemn voice resounded, “Uto, I want to meet your father tomorrow. This is not a request, but a notification!”
Disdain hang on Uto Koizumi’s lips as he shook his head and sneered, “Step-mother, I have once told you that if you’re willing to dine with me individually, I can consider letting you meet my father. You must know that my siblings do not have any good impression of you, and only I hold an admiration for you.”
Asaka Ochi could hear that there’s something unusual about Uto Koizumi. Aside from his voice, there’s also the voice of a woman, so her imagination started to uncontrollably wander.
“Why do you want to dine with me?” Asaka Ochi asked.
“Didn’t I just tell you that I hold an admiration for you?” Uto Koizumi chuckled and continued, “You’re a goddess in my heart, and you’re my father’s best companion.”
Asaka Ochi never expected that Uto Koizumi would be so frivolous and reprimanded, “I’m your father’s wife, and I’m your senior! Can’t you show some respect?!”
Although she’s younger than Uto Koizumi, she couldn’t accept his frivolous words.
“So what if you’re my father’s woman? In ancient times, whenever an Emperor dies, his wife will be handed down to his successor as part of the inheritance. Then again, I’m not treating you as my father’s inheritance here. I only want you to be my woman. I don’t mind that you were once my father’s wife, and I’m willing to give up everything to pursue you as my legal wife.” Uto Koizumi replied in disdain.
After Asaka Ochi finally confirmed Uto Koizumi’s ridiculous thoughts, she immediately hung up the call with her heart beating. She was helpless against that so-called “step-son” of hers. Not only did he lead a rotten life, but he’s even acting so shameless with her.
At the same time, she knew that Uto Koizumi had grasped her mentality and that she wouldn’t tell this matter to her husband, Kohei Koizumi. Because right now, Kohei Koizumi needed rest, and if he found out that his son was actually lusting for his wife, he would definitely spit out a mouthful of blood even if he’s healthy.
After hearing Asaka Ochi’s voice, Uto Koizumi acted as if he’s on steroids and threw a punch on the bed, scaring the woman behind her.
Asaka Ochi’s appearance, figure, and temperament were irresistible temptations to any man. Uto Koizumi did not lack women, but he had special feelings for Asaka Ochi. He even hated his father for marrying Asaka Ochi despite his age.
Then again, his feelings for Asaka Ochi wasn’t admiration as he had claimed, but leaning more towards hatred. He felt that it was Asaka Ochi who stole everything from his mother, and she’s even trying to snatch the wealth that belonged to him.
Asaka Ochi wore her pajamas and sat on the tatami with the windows opened and the moon in plain sight. As moonlight intersected, it drizzled down on her pearly skin, adding a layer of frost.
She tried to give a call to Kohei Koizumi’s phone once more; but in the end, no one picked it up, as usual. It had been a long time since she contacted her husband. At the same time, their relationship started to drift, which made Asaka Ochi begin to wonder if she had made the right choice in her marriage.
Regardless of anything, she had to try to meet Kohei Koizumi tomorrow.
As she fell into deep thoughts, her phone rang. It was a call from Su Tao, to which she picked it up and smiled. “Did you manage to pick up Ms. Ni?”
“Yeah! It’s a little late now, but I’m not disrupting your rest, am I?” Su Tao smiled.
“I’m having some insomnia right now!” Asaka Ochi gently brushed her fringe.
Su Tao fell into a brief silence. He knew that Asaka Ochi had something bothering her. However, he wasn’t in a position to directly ask about it.
“You’ve learned TCM, and you should know which acupoint to massage to aid in sleeping.”
“I naturally do, but there are too many things going through my mind right now. So even massaging my acupoints won’t help me sleep.” Asaka Ochi sighed.
“Because of your husband?” Su Tao probed.
“You guessed it again.” Asaka Ochi replied as she became frank with him, “I didn’t manage to see him. He’s separated from me by his children.”
Upon hearing that, Su Tao sighed. If he couldn’t meet Kohei Koizumi, how was he going to perform a check-up on him?
At the same time, it also explained why he was brought to Asaka Ochi’s home on the first day instead of meeting Kohei Koizumi.
After a brief silence, he gave out a plan, “I know that you’re afraid of starting a conflict with them that might lead to the deterioration of Mr. Koizumi’s health. But with me around, even if there’s a problem, the situation can be stabilised. So you can feel free to try and take some extreme measures.”
“I’m now relieved with your words.” Asaka Ochi took a deep breath with determination flashing through her eyes.
On the other hand, Uto Koizumi acted like a madman as he punched on the wall.
After venting all his emotions out, Uto Koizumi gasped for breath while sitting on the bed. The woman lit up a cigarette and gave it to him, to which Uto Koizumi took two breaths and revealed a satisfied smile. He felt comfortable being with such a woman, who had formed a rapport with him and could understand him without speaking.
At this moment, his phone lit up once more. Knitting his brows together, he took a look at it. It was a message from Asaka Ochi, and after reading it, he smiled. In the end, Asaka Ochi had no choice but to submit and dine with him.
Smoking the cigarette while feeling satisfied, Uto Koizumi locked his brows together and started to scheme for the banquet and take revenge against that woman.
Kyoto University Hospital was one of the top five hospitals in Japan.
Keisuke Sakamoto laid on the bed as his daughter, Natsuki Sakamoto, calmly looked at him with concern written on her face. Last night, Keisuke Sakamoto’s condition suddenly became serious, and he had no choice but to be warded.
The father and daughter had visited several hospitals, to which all of them gave out the same suggestion for his father. He had to find a suitable kidney to transplant for a chance to recover completely. The surgery for organ transplant had already matured, and the only danger lies in the possibility of the patient’s body rejecting the transplant.
The biggest pressure from organ transplants came from the enormous surgical fees, and this was a massive burden for the father and daughter.
“Natsuki-chan, don’t force yourself anymore. I really don’t want to be your burden!” Keisuke Sakamoto looked at his daughter tearing up and said in a depressed tone, “Let me finish the last journey of my life peacefully. Don’t force yourself anymore, or I will only live in guilt.”
“Dad, please don’t say that! I have a home as long as you’re alive. If you left this world, my home would be gone.” Natsuki Sakamoto sobbed.
When Keisuke Sakamoto heard his daughter’s words, he also started to tear up, to which Natsuki Sakamoto immediately opened up her purse and took out napkins to wipe his tears.
At the same time, a paper carelessly fell onto the ground.
When the doctor standing to the side saw it, he picked it up for her. “You dropped something!”
Receiving the paper from the doctor, Natsuki Sakamoto gently nodded her head. “Thank you, Doctor Omori!”
But when that doctor saw the Chinese words written on it, his face slightly changed. “If I may ask, where did you get this prescription from?”
Holding onto the paper, Natsuki Sakamoto frankly replied, “This was given to me by a friend, and he said that it’s effective in treating my father!”
The doctor nodded his head before he asked, “I have done some research in TCM, and this prescription comes from the Synopsis of Golden Chamber's Prescription. However, there were a few changes in the herbs, and the portion has also been changed. It’s truly brilliant! If it’s possible, I would like my teacher to have a look at this prescription.”
“Sure!” Natsuki Sakamoto couldn’t understand the emotions when a TCM researcher encountered a brilliant prescription.
“I hope that it can help you!” The doctor took a deep glance at Natsuki Sakamoto and inwardly sighed. Natsuki-san, do you know that I’m a major fan of yours?
