Eternal Melody

Chapter 878 Thorn Part 7



At Nagawa General Hospital.

HINO

Hino picked up the can from the vending machine and sighed deeply. Cancelling all of Sumire's work for the next few days wasn't easy. But other than that troublesome one with the TV drama, the others sympathised and even made inquiries on her health. For those people, he promised to send replacements over.

The one person who can take over Sumire's jobs right now is probably Shizune Miya. All those jobs will put her in the spotlight. Nase Siena and Kiragi Asuka could easily take over, however those two are far too busy helping out with the case.

'I'll contact Shizune and her agency. If she agrees, then perhaps they can save this situation.' By giving those jobs to Shizune, there is a high risk that the connections with those people will fall into the hands of Jupiter records. However, it's a risk he needs to take, otherwise Sumire's image will suffer.

Sumire's dream is important to her. As her manager, he has to help her protect it. He takes a sip of the canned coffee and sighed. Subconsciously he ended up picking Sumire's usual order.

He was exhausted, he hasn't slept a wink all night. But, how could he possibly sleep, knowing that she was in a hospital bed and hasn't woken up yet?

His thoughts broke off spotting a woman with pink hair at the reception wearing a cap and sunglasses. Despite the disguise Hino immediately knew who it was.

Hino walked over and tapped her shoulder. "Momoi Futaba?"

The girl turned around startled and Hino apologized. "Sorry for startling you, I'm Sumire's manager."

In the end he lead Momoi away to a mini lounge on the ground floor. Hino closed the door behind him. "Nobody should come here now."

Momoi slipped off the cap and sunglasses. "Thank you. I-I just came here to-"

"Check on Sumire. I understand."

"I-I know doing this now seems strange. When she was suffering I couldn't do anything for her. So showing up like this is very shameless of me. But I-I have to see if she is okay. Even if it's just a glimpse." Futaba stammered.

"I'll let you see her. But right now Yuhi is in there, and I don't think it's a good idea if you meet with him."

Futaba nodded.

"I'll lead him away later, and you can either wait here or I can call you back."

"I'm staying in the hotel across the street. So just give the reception there a ring and they can contact me."

Hino nodded.

"Her condition-" Futaba started.

"For now it's stabilized. The operation took five hours, it was an extremely long and complicated procedure. Honestly, there were times where her heart was on the verge of giving up. But, Sano and Mashima's combined efforts saved her. The operation succeeded but she wouldn't wake up. Then Yuhi showed up and gave her his blood, and now the chances of her waking up have increased." Hino summarized the past few hours.

Momoi turned quiet. "She, will be okay won't she?"

"Despite the rumors you have heard regarding Sano. He is a good doctor, he will do his very best to make sure she wakes up."

"I can't stay here for long. The situation in Star town isn't good. I'm not much of a leader. But I have influence in the circle so people listen to me even with my lack of leadership skills."

Hino frowned at those words.

"Is the situation that bad?"

Futaba nodded. "Several of the groups under the Holy Knights have been attacked. Ryuuji-kun is doing his best going around each group to assess the situation. But, just when we resolved one group. Another group is attacked. We have been running around like headless chickens." 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝘰𝑟𝑔

Before he could say anymore, Sano strolled inside.

"Hey Hino, I had something to ask-" Sano entered the room and paused seeing Momoi. "I thought the reception was wrong when they said you brought a girl here."

Hino sighed. "Your receptionists are huge gossips."

"Did you come here to see Sumire?"

Futaba nodded. "I heard Terashima is here though. So I will wait."

Sano shakes his head. "Terashima barely leaves her side for longer than five minutes. But, there is a side door with a one sided screen." Sano explained. "We will see her but they won't see us."

Hino raised his eyebrow. Has Sano been using that to watch Sumire everytime she is hospitalized here?

"I'll only take a look and then I will go."

Sano nodded and lead them both out of the room.

Hino returned inside the room while the other two headed to the room behind the screen. The moment he stepped inside, he sees Yuhi hovering over Sumire on the bed.

Hino exhaled deeply. "Are you attacking her in her sleep?"

Yuhi chuckled as he placed a last kiss on her neck. "When she wakes up, you can tell her that. I'm sure it'll make her happy. Take a picture too, she'll definitely blush and I need to see that reaction."

He shakes his head. "Stupid couple." Hino takes a seat in the corner. "What happened with the reporter? Other than you beating him up, did you find any useful information?"

Yuhi nodded and explained what happened.

"The Holy knights Tokyo branch, could have been involved with this." Hino pointed out. "I checked the GPS app, it was deactivated almost immediately after the app was installed. Sumire must have noticed. But the stalker still ended up with her address, the only other ones who have that information aside from you, me, Sano, Mashima, Nakara, Shizune, and the three from nanairo feather are the Holy knights."

Amongst those who know, they are all people fiercely loyal to Sumire. So it's definitely someone else.
