PREGNANCY

Chiharu felt a little sick at the thought of the past at Sayaka's words. If she knew that Sayaka would bring up grandchildren because she showed up in the morning, she would never have visited until later. 

The truth was that she came to the house early so that she could bond with Sayaka a little before Makiko came over and delivered a death blow to Akira. 

She believed that if she could be close to her mother-in-law during a crisis, she could occupy the space vacated by Kaoru and Hanae. And if she could control Sayaka, a perfect future would not be out of her reach. 

Additionally, she could cut loose that useless pair of mother and daughter before they dragged her down with them. She could not cope with short-sighted idiots. Already, Willow Mental Wellness had called to inform her about Hanae's real breakdown. 

She needed to have a better plan for harnessing the Yamazaki family.
