Chapter 409 - HAPPY OR SAD (1/2)

Akira paced in the bathroom with apprehension. She threw a glance at the three sticks in the sink, but she did not look at the feedback indicated on them. She was too nervous, and she did not know the results she wanted.

In truth, as soon as Hina made her suspect her condition, she made at least five plans for having and taking care of the baby. And she had multiple contingencies in case things did not work perfectly according to her original plans.  ​​

She did not think about not having the baby.

She trusted that Kaito would be there for her.

And even if he was not there, she was capable of raising a child. Granted she knew nothing about babies, but she had enough theoretical knowledge, multiple houses and plenty of money to get the help she needed.

But a part of her was scared.

She was so afraid.

She dialled Kaito's number again. She had been in the bathroom for about fifteen minutes, and in that period, she had already called him about ten times. Unfortunately, all she got was an automated message indicating the phone was off.

Once again, she heard the monotonous message.

She tried to calm down and breathe slowly. She felt like she was in danger of hyperventilating, and she felt sick to her stomach.

She could not do it.

She was not only thinking about the potential child as she paced. She was starting to feel afraid about Kaito's current status. Even though she had already tried to comfort herself with things like the potential unexpected occurrences on the field, she knew he was not a flaky person.

He knew it was important for her to know that he was fine. He had promised to call her in the morning. Since he had not called and his phone was still off, she could only ȧssume there was an accident. And now, she did not know what to do.

Her eyes watered, and her nose stung a little.

”Akira, are you alright? It's been over twenty minutes.” Hina called out from the other side of the door.

Akira blinked back the tears. No, she would not cry. She was a grown woman. There was no need to be afraid. She could look at the stupid sticks. And when Kaito returned, she would kick his ȧss. And if he did not, she would find him and then, kick his ȧss.

”Wait a minute,” Akira responded.

She took a deep breath and leaned over the sink. She looked at the three tests from the first to the last. Then, she repeated the motion once again. She took another breath before she picked the sticks and threw them in the bin.

She washed her hands and opened the bathroom door. Hina was standing there looking like she was on a hot pan. She grabbed Akira's shoulders.

”Why are you keeping me in suspense? Am I going to be an aunt?” She asked.

”Can't you tell from my face?” Akira smiled at Hina.

Hina peered at Akira's face. ”I can't tell. Are you happy or sad? And what results did you want? Aaah, just tell me.”
