Hospital

She replaces the flowers with fresher ones and told her brother about another day. She looked down at his hand

"Did his pinky just move or did I imagine that?" She called the nurse into the patient's room, and they came rushing in to check his vitals then the impossible happen.

"The patient opened his eyes!" They exclaimed with excitement.

Hideaki was trapped in complete darkness and could not see a thing," Where am I? What happened?" He thought and could not be recalled what happened. Its vision and physical strength were impaired as well as other functions.

Suddenly, he felt the most intense pain from his head then his heartbeat accelerated.

Just a second ago his vitals were normal but now the monitor won't stop beeping loud and faster by the second.

"Is everything okay?" Kotori asked, worried and at the sight of him having seizures scared her. She trembled uncontrollably and could barely stand still while she wipes away her tears.

The nurse injected mediation into the IV to calm down the patient who soon lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.

"Rest assured ma'am. It shall get bather over time—It's one of those risks that to you before the surgery." The doctor informed and told her in full confidence." He will recover with physical therapy, additional other test but it will cost more for the treatment altogether.

"I understand." She responded and read the information provided for the ongoing treatment of recovery.

She sighs then send a text message to Mr. Nakamaru." Does the offer still stand for 25 thousand? I don't have the expense to cover the extra expenses." As she typed up the message it hurt her pride and she felt humiliated.

Do you accept the transaction of $25,000?

She made a payment for all the expenses that were needed for her brother then looked down at him in the hospital bed.

"How would he be in this state?" She questioned.

" It's hard to say—The patient may start to gradually regain consciousness and become more aware. Some patients will wake up after a few weeks. While others may go into a vegetative or minimally conscious state." The nurse answered then fluff the pillows and changed the urinal bowl.

Occasionally, he would open his eyes throughout many visits.

" Hello, Hideaki. It's me, Kotori. I have enough money for us to live someone decent—I waited for this moment for a very long time." She held his hand as tight as possible and never imagine that the odds were in her favor.

" You don't know I imagine this moment—Too many to count but it's not as precious as this."

It been a while, but her life is starting to look up from here.

She walked across the street then was stopped by the assistant.

" Madam, I came to inform you that I can no longer allow you to ride public transportation at night… It's young master orders and he's concerned about your safety."

There was no point to argue – The train station was thirty minutes away and it was freezing out. This cold of hers couldn't even keep her warm.

Apartment

She unlocked the door and walked a little surprised sitting for her in the living room. There was a medium shape long box wrapped in pink paper.

"Hello, there. How's your brother doing?" Kyosuke asked

" He's doing better than before, thanks for asking." She spoke.

' I shouldn't assume this is for me I learned my lesson last time.'

" You never mentioned if they found the person that hit him." He mentioned.

" Nope. He's probably somewhere on the run—That bastard didn't even come to the hospital to see if he was okay. He just fled like a coward." She complained and the thought of it angered her.

" I promise I will look into it for you but right now, I want you to open the gift I bought you—Don't think anything crazy. I was out shopping for someone then I thought of you."

She ripped through the paper and lifted up the top. It was a well-made winter coat—The think synthetic fell and cuffs at the wrist blocked out cold air. There was a removable hood that was lined with a plush material that feels incredibly cozy against her head. She felt like a child on Christmas day opening a present.

She tried it on.

"It looks on you." He complimented and could not stand to see her in those cheap-looking low-quality attire.

She speaks with a sincere tone and overwhelms herself with emotions," Thank you." She slowly toward her head back at the tall, handsome man that gave her heart butterflies.

He looked down at his phone texting another individual then answered the phone.
