Naoko had a very strange dream.
She dreamt her whole body soaked in a hot spring, her upper and lower body were warm.
Just like every morning when she woke up fast, she knew she was in a dreamland. But it felt so warm and so comfortable, making her feel this was very familiar and close to her.
Slowly, she opened her eyes. Seeing the man sitting in front of her, she smiled.
‘Really nice, he came to see me.’
“Lei, don’t go, okay? Why do you always have to go so soon? Did you know that every time I woke up and found I am only by myself, was really uncomfortable? Please, let this dream be a little longer, will you?” Naoko forced herself to hug him and said.
“I promise you, I won’t leave you again.”
Naoko’s ears heard that familiar voice.
“Lei, you’re really nice to me.” Naoko closed her eyes very satisfiedly; she suddenly felt exhausted.
After a while, listening to her steady, regular breathing, Lei Yin knew that she fell asleep.
Gently he laid her on the bed and then covered her with the quilt up to her chest. Lei Yin was very aggrieved to see her pale, haggard face.
“I’m sorry, making you suffer.” Lei Yin softly said a sentence, and then put her left hand on his face to gently stroke.
After coming out from the ICU room, Lei Yin saw not only the Hasebe family was here, even the doctor in-charge of Naoko also present. However, it was evident that when he was going to inspect the patient, he was casually “held hostage” by the four men, because one can see his scared look and the beads of sweats that covered his forehead.
“Doctor, please check out her condition. She just woke up for a while, but fell asleep again.”
“Very well.” The doctor was scared to death and hurriedly went in.
“Sorry, just now because the situation is too urgent, I’ve offended you.” Lei Yin turned his head toward the Hasebe family and said.
“How is Naoko now?” Hasebe Masao took one look at him and asked.
Just now the few of them have also seen that after this guy entered the room, about an hour later Naoko indeed awake a bit.
“Let’s wait for the doctor to check over, okay?” He really couldn’t explain to them about his treatment.
“If something happens to my sister, I won’t let you get away with it.” Hasebe Kenji told him what’s inside his heart.
Lei Yin ignored him and turned to look toward Naoko’s ward.
Seeing him like this, Hasebe Kenji was even more furious. His two eyes fiercely stared at him from behind.
Aiko looked at him with an incredibly complex look.
‘I haven’t seen him for more than a year; he seems a bit taller. He also looks a lot thinner than a year ago, but it gives a more mature taste.’
Although she didn’t know where he went this past year, Aiko felt as though he wasn’t doing great. Maybe it was just like what her sister said, he really has had difficulties.
‘Who are the other four men who came with him? Each of them actually carries a gun. Even more surprising is that they seem to be very respectful and obedient to him. Alas, exactly how many secrets this guy has?’
After a while, the doctor came out with a surprised expression.
“How about my daughter?” Hasebe Shohata immediately asked. The other people were nervously waiting for his test result.
“It’s really strange, her heartbeat suddenly returned back to normal, including her breathing. According to her previous situation, even if we could wake her up, it is impossible for her to return to the normal heartbeat so quickly. Excuse me, what did you just do to the patient?” The doctor very excitedly walked toward the young man.
“Thank you, doctor.” Hearing his answer, Lei Yin was relieved.
After thinking for a while, he turned toward the Hasebe family and said: “Naoko should be able to wake up soon, I’ll stay here with her. Just now I’ve offended you, really sorry.” With that, he walked into the ward.
Because he had just excessively used his power, he felt a little fatigue, and not in the mood for a polite talk with them.
The Hasebe family were a bit uncomfortable to see him go, but no one tried to stop him.
“Doctor, exactly what happened to my daughter?” Hasebe Masao wanted to be sure.
“The way she is now, her situation has stabilized. As long as it keeps going, I believe she can wake up tomorrow.” The doctor explained.
Hearing his words, everyone revealed a happy countenance.
At this time, Aiko turned around to look at the ward. The man was quietly sitting on the bed watching her sister. Then, her heart faintly sighed.

Seemingly asleep for a very long time, Naoko thought that this was her best sleep in a year.
She vaguely remembered that last night she seems to dream about him. Naoko was a bit sad to sit up.
Where is this? Naoko was a bit surprised to see she was in a white room.
Soon she came to understand, this should be a hospital ward, and she must have had a heart attack again.
How long can I wait for him? Thinking of this, Naoko’s heart turned sour.
At this time the ward door suddenly opened, and someone came in with a takeaway lunch box.
Because tears blurred her view, she didn’t see the person’s face. After rubbing away the tears with her sleeve, she finally saw the man’s face.
And then, her entire body froze.
Walking over to the bed and gently placing his right hand on her left cheek, Lei Yin full of pity looked at her, “Naoko, I’m back.”

Watching two people cuddled together tightly, Hasebe Kento stood there somewhat embarrassed. ‘It seems I came in a wrong time.’
“Naoko, your brother is here.” Lei Yin whispered a sentence in her ear.
Naoko blushed, and quickly released her hold on his hand.
“Brother, good morning.” Thinking that her brother had just seen the scene where she tightly hugs a man, Naoko blushed.
“You finally woke up; we were all very worried about you.” Hasebe Kento said with a smile.
“I’m sorry, brother, letting you all worry,” Naoko said apologetically.
“It’s okay, as long as you’re alright, father and mother have stayed here until morning before they leave. If they know you’ve woke up, they’ll be very happy.” Hasebe Kento refrained from telling her that Hasebe Shohata had fainted because of too much stimulus, lest she worried.
“Letting them two old people toil so hard, I really feel sorry. Brother, you too, look tired. Why don’t you go back to rest.” Naoko said to Hasebe Kento.
“Your condition have just stabilized and need someone to look for you. Don’t worry, I’m in a good spirit.” Hasebe Kento comforted her.
Naoko just wanted to advise, but Lei Yin already started talking to him: “Brother Hasebe, I will stay here with Naoko, you’d better go back to take a rest. If there’s anything, I’ll let you know.”
Hearing him saying “Brother Hasebe” made Hasebe Kento a bit uncomfortable. For this quite mysterious young man, Hasebe Kento was not very assured. But looking at his last night’s action, he thought that the young man seems to really care about Naoko. Looked at him in the eyes, Hasebe Kento can’t help but hesitate.
“Brother, you first go back.” Naoko pleaded again.
“Very well, I will come again tonight. Mr. Gennai, if something happens, please notify me as soon as possible.” Hasebe Kento finally nodded.
