4 Trouble

"Yes, the patient is carrying twins. Now that the first trimester is over we can't do the first option for DNA testing."

Hiruzen and Sei looked at each other for a moment, they didn't understand what Shouken meant. It's all because they don't understand medical science. Of course, only experienced people understand such things.

"Okay, I understand you don't understand. So there are three methods to do a DNA test on the womb," said Shouken. "The first is the Noninvasive Paternal Prenatal Test method. This test can be done in the first trimester of pregnancy, but cannot be done on twins because the technology is still inadequate."

"Then the other method?" said Sei interrupting Shouken's words.

"Of course there is, but The method can only do it in the second and third trimesters. The names of the methods are Chorionic Villus Sampling, and amniocentesis. These two methods are dangerous, with the risk of causing defects in the newborn and also miscarriage. Edward's syndrome case, Down syndrome, and miscarriages."

"Aren't the tools now sophisticated? Surely you can do the second and third methods. Moreover, if the method is carried out carefully, I believe you are a professional doctor in that field," said Sei.

Shouken shook his head, he couldn't understand Sei's words. So prioritizes his ego over the safety and health of the baby Katsuhi is carrying.

"I won't do the second and third method because it's very risky. Because of an adult's wish, I don't want a new life to be born deformed or even lose one's life. I wouldn't do that."

Hiruzen could imagine how dangerous the DNA test method Shouken described was. Shouken has confirmed all the dangers, and it sounds terrible. According to Hiruzen, Hiruzen will not force his will if it comes to endangering the safety of an innocent baby.

"Is there no other method?" asked Hiruzen, this was the last time he wished.

"Until now, the latest innovations in technology and new procedures have not been found in carrying out DNA tests on fetuses," Shouken replied calmly and confidently.

Hiruzen sighed restlessly and looked down, there was no longer any way to prove that Sei was the father of the baby Katsuhi was carrying.

"No! You have to keep doing that!" Sei said, forcing Shouken to keep doing DNA tests. "I will never be able to calm down until the DNA test is not done!"

Sei was emotional, he grabbed Shouken's collar and squeezed the snelly Shouken was wearing. Sei is temperamental and finds it difficult to control his anger. The arrogance inherent in the eldest son of a large mafia family is visible in him.

Yes, Sei is a mafia.

"I do not dare to do the procedure, sir. For whatever reason, I will not do it. I have sworn to defend and prioritize the safety of every baby life that I handle with all my might. And there is no way I would do something that endangers the baby's life. No, it violates my oath," Shouken said. He didn't look scared, instead, he seemed quite annoyed with Sei's selfish actions.

A gun mouth was stuck to Shouken's forehead, ready to shoot a bullet into Shouken's head until it had a hole. Shouken didn't flinch in the slightest. Instead, he insisted on defending his argument in front of Sei.

"Just do it or you---"

"You can't threaten me even with a gun," Shouken said. "Shoot me, you won't get anything. With my death case driven by the day, you'll only slow your business down."

Sei's blood swished warmly, his body became hot as anger almost exploded from within his body. What Shouken said was true, Sei couldn't kill Shouken here.

"Sei, what you want to do is up to you."

Sei and Shouken gasped, their eyes were now on Hiruzen who was staring at Sei with a sharp gaze.

"What do you mean?" Sei asked, trying not to get out of control at that moment.

It needs to be clarified about doing whatever Hiruzen mentioned, it could be that there is something that is not clear but is interpreted differently by Sei. It was very dangerous, Sei could kill Shouken if he misunderstood.

"What I mean is, it's up to you about the wedding plan between you and Katsuhi," said Hiruzen, this is the best choice.

This problem exists because Hiruzen insisted that Sei should be responsible for impregnating Katsuhi and at the same time Sei denied all the accusations against him. And for now, no one can prove that Sei has impregnated Katsuhi. And because of that, Hiruzen resigned that Sei didn't want to continue this wedding plan and let Sei cancel this wedding plan.

Sei's grip weakened, Sei slowly unconsciously removed his hand from Shouken's snelly collar after hearing Hiruzen's statement.

'That's good then,' said Sei.

Sei laughed sinisterly in his heart. He was happy with Hiruzen's decision. But strangely, without the two men there realizing it, Shouken smiled faintly. A very, very thin smile.

The situation becomes cooler, calmer and more conducive. Sei sat back down on the sofa that Shouken had provided. Everyone went back to talking about Katsuhi's condition in a normal tone.

"I will try whether later the second and third methods can be done in the final third trimester. However, I still can't give certainty to all of you. I apologize for the inconvenience," said Shouken.

Shouken, with all his respect, then stood up and bowed 90 degrees. This shows that he feels guilty for Shouken's poor treatment as a doctor who treats Katsuhi's condition.

"It's okay, Doctor Torodabi. My future son-in-law and I understand the situation and conditions that occur. Thank you for being so helpful," said Hiruzen. He also bowed his body as a form of appreciation for Shouken's dedication and Sei's, even though Sei didn't do it wholeheartedly.

After Hiruzen and Sei had left Shouken's room, Shouken just looked at the backs of the two men and smiled lopsidedly.

"Of course, I won't do it. I don't want to endanger the lives of my babies. They must be born safe and healthy into this world," Shouken said after being sure that Sei and Hiruzen had stepped away from his room.

A very surprising fact, Shouken is the father of the baby in Katsuhi's womb. Don't the two of them know each other yet?
