Chapter 600 - ELDEST BROTHER’S PLOT (1/2)
Furukawa Sara was a somewhat small woman in stature. She was perhaps the reason that Shun had not turned out like his burly brothers. No one stopped her actions when she practically launched herself at Shun with tears in her eyes.
Shun looked at his mother and found that she did look a little older than he remembered her. The truth of this matter sunk into his mind, causing him some fear and horror. He really had amnesia. And the evidence was right before him.
But he was not a man with an inflexible mind.
It was not like he could do anything to remember the missing chunk of time even if he was afraid. For now, he could only accept what had happened and try to move forward.
With that in mind, he let his mother hug him. Despite her stature, she was quite strong. Her arms felt like a boa constrictor around his shoulders. But somehow, that fierce hug was reassuring. After a moment, Shun lifted his arms and hugged her back.
Then, he lifted his eyes and looked at his father and three brothers who were standing at the end of his bed. They were a little older, just like his mother. No, he was also older. He had just forgotten about it.
He nodded towards them.
Shun was not trying to be rude. However, despite knowing that he had forgotten a significant chunk of time, he could not change his current feelings. During the period in which he believed he was living, he had a lot of disagreements with his father and brothers.
The quarrels came up because the four of them did not want to give him more responsibilities in the company. Furthermore, when he wanted to leave and start living independently, they refused to let him, to the point of interfering with his finances.
Therefore, he could not muster enthusiasm towards them. And he did not know his current life or his feelings towards his family after all these years.
The faces of the four men fell when they saw how cold Shun was towards them.
”What is wrong, Shun? Are you still feeling unwell? Should we call the doctor?” His father was the first one to speak up.
Furukawa Kenta was a tough man with an unwavering spirit. He had paved his way in one of the most challenging fields and become a legend. His path to success in the security solutions market was not easy, but he had some knowledge after a short stint in the military.
But he had a soft spot for Shun.
When Shun was born, his family was quite close to a breaking point. His wife was tired of him because he prioritised work over everything. She had threatened to leave him on multiple occasions. However, he did not know how to choose his family over urgent tasks in the business.
And in the security business, almost every mission was urgent.
Therefore, their marriage was on the rocks, and their home life was uncomfortable and tense.
As for their three sons, they were wild boys who fought constantly. They were young, but they had already picked up bad behaviours like skipping classes, running from school and picking fights around the neighbourhood.
Then, Shun was born.
When each of the family members saw the cute little baby, their hearts melted. He was so small and delicate, and when his eyes looked at them, they saw a purity that could not be captured. He was like the embodiment of an angel.
From the moment he was born, everything in the Furukawa family changed.
Kenta started coming back home early. He did not spend dawn to the deep night in the office. He returned and spent time with his wife and son. And the three brothers also stopped their bad behaviours. Their only fights were about who would get to hold the baby for longer.
Then, it became a long-term competition between them. The most powerful among them would be the one to take care of Baby Shun in the future. The petty competition prompted them to become good students with a keen focus.
All in all, Shun was like a saviour to the family. The entire family vowed to never let him suffer. He would always be their baby.
How could they bear to see him looking thin, pale and helpless in the hospital? But more than that, they were heartbroken because Shun was looking at them like they were strangers. Only a month ago, he was enthusiastically telling them about his plans to build another playground.
His enthusiasm was always contagious when he was excited about something. He kept describing how he was going to collaborate with Etude Technologies to create a playground based on one of their most popular game franchises.
Now, he was just different.
”No, I am fine,” Shun responded after a short period while pushing his mother away.
