Chapter 557 - SHE IS AWAKE (2/2)

Akira turned her head and saw a beautiful woman with a tablet in her hand. She looked young, but her face had a strange maturity. Behind her, two people were standing respectfully, waiting for the woman's orders.

”Dr Jiang?” Akira said uncertainly.

The woman looked up in surprise. ”It looks like your mental capacity is unaffected after your long coma.”

”Where am I?” Akira asked.

”That question will have to wait. We have to take you into the delivery room right away.” Dr Jiang tapped on the device in her hand.

”Delivery?” Akira was incredulous.

”Yes. If you did not wake up, I would have conducted an operation on you later tonight. I wanted to wait for a little longer so that we can attempt a natural delivery. Your body cannot handle another operation after the ordeal.” Dr Jiang said.

Akira was confused, but she understood one thing. Her Little Precious was still alright. She had not failed the little one, even though she had lost Kaito. Her heart began aching again, and a few tears fell out of her eyes unbidden.

Kaito…

Dr Jiang noticed the distress from the young woman on the bed and pursed her lips. She never liked dealing with patients. She preferred being in the lab conducting research. However, she had made an exception for the woman.

It would not do if the delivery failed due to her unstable emotions. Her reputation was at stake. She had managed to keep the woman alive and well for two months without any harm coming to her unborn child. She could not fail in the final moment.

”You should remain calm right now for a safe delivery, Ms Yamazaki. You have been strong, but you need to be stronger for your baby. Everything is going to be fine. I am sure that your boyfriend will be here soon.” Dr Jiang said.

The words were like an explosion in Akira's mind. She wondered if she had heard something wrong. Or if the beautiful doctor was mistaken.

”Boyfriend?” Akira asked.

”I thought your mental capacity was unaffected, but I might have to review my assessment if you continue asking single word questions.” Dr Jiang said with amusement.

Akira did not dare to be too hopeful. She had seen Kaito plummeting from the Floating Pavilion with her eyes. She did not think it was possible for him to survive in that situation. Perhaps, Dr Jiang had seen someone else and thought it was her boyfriend.

”Akira!” A shout sounded as the doors to the hospital room burst open.

The voice was so familiar and beautiful, even though the shout was chaotic and hoarse. Akira felt the tears in her eyes flowing out faster from her eyes. She could not believe her ears. But when a man knelt beside her hospital bed, she felt alive again.

She lifted a hand and touched Kaito's face.

He was still as handsome as ever, but he seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Moreover, the circles around his eyes betrayed that he had been having a hard time. The sensation of the warm skin re-energised her.

”Akira!” Kaito said again while holding the hand against her face.

”Kaito!” She smiled as she called his name.

As they looked at each other, no words were necessary.
