Chapter 525: Reunion
After about more than ten hours, Hiro showed up at the hospital. His breathing was rather ragged and he appeared to be drenched in sweat.
However, right now, Akashi who had stayed awake for almost the entirety of the night in his wait was deep asleep.
But even so, Hiro recognized him at a glance.
Seeing him brought great delight to him and his face brightened.
Then again he recalled something upon seeing him. Previously, he had also asked Akashi to help him with this matter. However, at that time, he made excuses saying that he was out of town for a tournament that was taking place.
Then did he also rush here after the game?
Hiro hadn\'t doubted him, so he could only think it was the case. So, seeing here brought great delight to him.
Yet, seeing him in such deep slumber, he didn\'t feel like waking him up. So, he walked past him without disturbing him. Then he proceeded to visit his father.
But first, he\'d need to find his mother. So, he started looking around for her. Well, he could have called her. But he wanted to keep his appearance a surprise so, he didn\'t call her and kept on searching for her.
Since he was informed about the room number in advance, it didn\'t take him a lot of time to find the room where his father was getting treated.
Even after being aware of the room number, it was still quite a hassle to find the exact location. Well, since he hadn\'t visited before and it was his first time here, it was only natural for him to struggle for a while despite knowing the room number.
A delightful glee appeared on his face as his face blossomed like a blooming flower after finding the room he was desperately searching for a while.
\'Mom, Dad. I\'m here\' he thought as he looked ahead, his heart pounding with anticipation.
Then he slowly walked to the room, his heart thumping with excitement. According to the information he had received from his mother, his father although bedridden was out of danger. So, he was looking forward to seeing him.
Glancing through the window, he saw the figure of the people he had been longing to see for quite a long. Seated beside the only bed present in the room, his mother seemed to sleeping peacefully with her head resting atop the bed, right beside his father.
As for his father, he appeared to be sleeping soundly as well.
Although he was covered in all kinds of bandages and seemed to be breathing through the oxygen mask, he felt relieved to see him.
His eyes moistened as all sorts of emotions such as joy, grief, and guilt churned within him. Though he was relieved to see him alive, he couldn\'t help but feel his heartache upon seeing him in such a desperate condition.
It wasn\'t how he had hoped to reunite with his father after leaving home.
This wasn\'t the sort of reunion he had hoped for.
Well, it could have been much worse.
Thankfully, he was still alive. So, he should feel a little grateful to be able to meet him. Just then while he was staring at his parents from outside the door, a nurse caught a glimpse of him from afar. Apparently, she had come to perform her routine check-up.Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
But finding him staring while standing before the door, she couldn\'t help but feel disturbed. Who was this anonymous person? She hadn\'t seen him before. Also, he was dressed in some kind of security personnel uniform.
From the looks of his uniform, he didn\'t appear to be someone from the hospital.
Who was this man? She hadn\'t seen him before. Despite her wariness, she knew she couldn\'t avoid him her job required her to enter the room.
So, pushing aside her discomfort, she approached the door, while Hiro remained rooted to the spot, his emotions a tangled mess as he gazed at his sleeping parents.
Since he was deeply absorbed in the sight before him, he failed to notice her presence.
"Excuse me, Sir. I need to head inside," she said, sounding somewhat annoyed.
Her voice jolted Hiro awake as it brought him back to his senses. Immediately, he stepped out
of the way and said, "I\'m sorry, I didn\'t realize I was blocking the path"
The nurse, however, ignored his apology as she proceeded inside without uttering anything any further. She couldn\'t give a damn about him.
She was already frustrated enough. So, she didn\'t want some stranger to add more to the plate.
\'Seems like I\'ll encounter all kinds of weirdos but not Hiro\' she thought as she pushed the trolley inside while sighing in her heart.
After finding out that the patient before her was the father of the famous young prodigy Hiro, she had been eagerly looking forward to meeting him.
But after finding out about Hiro\'s international trip, she was left disappointed. Yet still, she firmly believed that Hiro would visit after the trip abroad.
So, she had been waiting for him.
Yet it seemed like she wouldn\'t be able to meet him. She will be on leave tomorrow. So, what if he\'ll come tomorrow and she misses the opportunity to meet him?
It worried her. So, she was in a rather foul mood because of it.
Just as she started walking inside without paying any heed to him, Hiro also walked inside.
For a while, she didn\'t notice his presence as she was already in a bitter mood.
However, as she was about to check on the patient, she found him inside the room.
Only relatives of the family were allowed inside. So, how could he walk inside without asking permission? This irresponsive gesture of his enraged her.
Furrowing her brows, she confronted him, "Sir, even if you\'re related to the patient, you can\'t casually walk inside at such a time. You have to wait for the visiting hours if you want to visit the patient."
