As for whether Hui is foolish or not, he no longer dares to hope; the issue of intelligence can be resolved slowly.

He didn't bother Hui any further, but went to the washroom to wash up and take a shower.

Then, Kouta left the room to have breakfast at the hospital cafeteria.

The cafeteria at Miyazaki Hospital has a beautiful and clean environment, an elegant style, and a wide variety of food, including all kinds of dishes from all over the world. There are also dedicated chefs who prepare the food individually.

There were only a few people here now, each doing their own thing. An old man with white hair was reading a newspaper by the window, a greasy middle-aged man was comforting a crying young girl in his arms, and a skinny boy was angrily scolding the high school girl next to him...

Kouta's arrival went unnoticed. He ordered a few baskets of steamed buns to fill his stomach, then sat quietly in a corner to eat his breakfast, while casually checking the news in Sapporo on his phone.

The news was filled with explosive news about the recent district council election: Kensuke Miyamori, a popular candidate for district council, was exposed for having money-for-power transactions with many politicians, business tycoons, and other candidates, interspersed with details of his womanizing at hot spring hotels and health clubs...

However, these tabloid stories won't affect Kensuke Miyamori much. Sex shops are legal in Japan, and voters won't care whether a candidate promotes the industry...

Kouta glanced at the news and swiped past it.

He wasn't interested in these trivial matters; what he cared about was how things were going with the many people he had killed last night.

After searching online, Kouta found that none of the mainstream media had reported on this matter. Only some tabloids reported on it in vague terms, saying that the police had sealed off an area, but lifted the lockdown a few hours later. They claimed that after on-site investigation and anonymous interviews with local residents, they found that a monster resembling Aobozu was lurking there... and there were also photos of large footprints at the scene.

Kouta immediately recognized that the large footprints were fake. Of course, not all of them were fake; the large pits were indeed made by him, but the footprints on them were definitely photoshopped.

Kouta knew that Miyamori Hazuki had kept her promise, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly finished the steamed buns, packed one portion to go, and returned to his ward.

The room was quiet, and Hui was still sleeping peacefully.

When I approached her bedside, Hui, who was asleep, didn't have that silly feeling. Her stunningly beautiful face and fair, jade-like skin made her look otherworldly, like a fairy from the Jade Pool in the heavens. She exuded a sacred aura that made anyone who saw her feel inferior.

Kouta was somewhat lost in thought. For a moment, he had an inexplicable feeling that Hui seemed out of place in this world, as elusive as a white cloud, about to disappear at any moment.

"Slap! Slap!" Kouta slapped his face. "What was I thinking about!"

He wanted to wake Hui, but then he thought that Hui had been unconscious all day yesterday, so he decided to let her rest.

At eight o'clock, the nurse knocked on the door and came in with a new set of hospital gowns, and informed that patient Gengtai had a check-up at nine o'clock and could not eat breakfast.

Kouta said thank you and chatted with the nurse for a few minutes, learning her name: Moriya Nai.

After giving some instructions, Moriya Nai left the room.

Kouta noticed that the clock on the wall was past eight o'clock, and he felt that he couldn't let Hui continue sleeping like this.

After a series of coaxing and deceptions, Kōta ignored Hui's aggrieved and dissatisfied gaze, forcibly pulled her out of bed, and then... that was it.

Hui sat blankly on the bed, her eyes blurry and her body limp, as if she would collapse again at any moment and continue to drift off into her own world.

Kōta placed the steamed buns he had bought in front of Hui, tempting her, "Huihui, wake up! There's something delicious for you when you wake up!"

He didn't know how these buns were made, but they didn't have a greasy smell. Instead, they had a very appetizing aroma and tasted delicious, so he brought them up for Hui to try.

The aroma of the food directly stimulated Hui's rumbling stomach.

Hui was startled and reached out to grab the food, but Kouta naturally dodged it.

"Hui, you need to change your clothes before eating." Geng Tai patiently explained, explaining that hospital gowns are changed daily to ensure hygiene.

Hui tilted her head, looking puzzled.

Kouta seemed to understand, and he asked, "Hui, do you still remember how to change clothes?"

Hui shouted in confusion: "Geng Tai, Geng Tai."

"Okay." Watching Hui gesticulate wildly, Kouta felt that he must be out of his mind to ask such a complicated question about a "one-year-old child".

"Hui, don't move around, I'll change your clothes." Kōta put down the steamed bun and prepared to change Hui's clothes.

Hui looked down at Kouta's actions with a blank expression, without dodging, resisting, or feeling shy, just watching curiously.

This is in stark contrast to the previous behavior of the nurses who would reject you if you just got close.

Kouta stared at Hui's protruding belly, which looked like a small hill, for a while, then gently rubbed it, making Hui laugh out loud from the ticklish feeling.

Silly Hui looked at Kōta's behavior with confusion, not understanding why Kōta was touching his stomach.

However, she didn't dislike being touched by Kenta. In Hui's eyes now, everything in the world was unfamiliar and frightening, but she remembered that the man in front of her was her family and would not hurt her.

Kouta's finger accidentally brushed against her navel, causing Kei to giggle from tickling.

As if in retaliation, she reached out and touched Kouta's stomach, and then, Hui became puzzled.

Because Kouta's belly was flat, while his own belly was big and full.

"Geng Tai Geng Tai?" Hui asked doubtfully.

"???" Kouta and Kei exchanged curious glances.

He glanced at Hui's legs with suspicion. There was no sign of her crossing her legs, so she didn't seem to need to use the restroom. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized, "Hui, do you want to take a bath?"

Seeing that Hui remained silent, Kōta assumed that Hui had tacitly agreed.

So instead of changing his clothes, he took Hui to the bathroom and personally helped her bathe...

The revised chapter cannot be less than the original word count; this is just to pad the word count.

Chapter 432 Faith

The examination lasted from morning until afternoon. Hui cried seven or eight times during the process, and Gengtai had to coax and trick her to "cooperate" with the doctor's instructions.

The same three doctors from yesterday, after careful diagnosis, arrived at a conclusion that was almost identical to that of Kuchizuki: Hui's cognitive level and intelligence had regressed to the level of an infant.

However, they told Kouta: There's no need to worry. This is just a temporary phenomenon caused by abnormal hormone secretion during teenage pregnancy. Take some medication to prevent miscarriage, and everything will be fine after the baby is born.

This is a conclusion they reached after careful consideration.

The oldest of the three doctors, after a night of reflection, realized that he had overlooked the most likely scenario.

Yesterday, they focused their attention on the patient's brain, neglecting the fact that pregnancy can affect hormone secretion, potentially causing temporary amnesia.

Clinically, there have indeed been cases of women experiencing slight memory decline during pregnancy, but their cases are far from being as "severe" as Hui's, to the point of amnesia. Moreover, there has never been any history of pregnancy causing coma or unconsciousness, so they did not consider that possibility.

The doctor shared this idea with two other people.

The other two nodded in agreement.

Their careful diagnosis today has only strengthened their resolve.

Hui's physical examinations were all normal, with no injuries or lesions.

The only difference between her and a normal girl is that she is pregnant.

After eliminating all the impossibilities, what remains, however unbelievable, is the truth.

Therefore, even if they are not clear about the specific pathology, they can guarantee with their medical expertise that Hui's current condition is caused by pregnancy.

Kouta listened quietly to the doctor's conclusion, neither denying nor affirming it.

In truth, he didn't believe it. Although the doctor's words made a lot of sense, he recalled Hui's obvious hints before she fell ill, and how he successfully woke her up by following her hints. All of this suggested that things were not so simple.

He didn't tell the doctor about these things, for a simple reason: one should always be wary of others.

The doctor advised that she continue to rest in the hospital until the baby is born.

This makes it easier for them to respond promptly if the patient has other issues.

Kouta thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Hui and Kōta returned to the ward.

As soon as she entered the room, Hui called out to Kouta with dissatisfaction, "Kouta, Kouta!"

This time, Geng Taiming understood Hui's meaning: Hui is hungry!

That's true. I've only had some IV fluids since this morning, so it's normal to be hungry.

"Hui, are you hungry?"

"Kota~"

"Sweetie, stay in your room. I'll go get you something nice to eat!"

Hui's appearance is too easy to attract trouble. Today, when he was getting checked, he noticed many people giving him strange looks.

Several people who tried to strike up a conversation with him were turned away, so Huineng decided to stay home as much as possible; he didn't want to go on a killing spree at the hospital.

"Kengta!" Hui nodded.

Geng Tai closed the door and then went to get food for Hui.

……

A few kilometers away from here is an old and dilapidated apartment building.

In a third-floor apartment, Mikiko Kuchizuki had already woken up and started cooking.

She walked out of the room and into the living room, which was simply furnished and full of a sense of age: an old sofa, a yellowed wooden table, an old television, a small kitchen... The kitchen was connected to the living room and was an open-plan kitchen.

Of particular note is a shrine on the front wall of the living room, containing a black and white photograph of extremely poor quality, in which only a blurry angel can be vaguely discerned.

If Hui were here, she would immediately recognize that this was the blurry figure captured by a mechanical camera when she reached the God Realm in the New Domain.

Of course, this is just a photocopy.

Next to the shrine, there was an urn containing ashes and a black-and-white photograph of a little boy.

At this moment, a woman who looked to be in her forties and bore a striking resemblance to Kuchizukiko was kneeling devoutly on the ground, bowing to the shrine and muttering something under her breath.

She already had obvious crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, and her hair, streaked with silver, was tied back, but her expression was full of energy, subtly revealing a fervor that even young boys and girls had never experienced.

When Kuchizuki saw this, she frowned.

The car accident left her sister paralyzed, while her brother died on the spot.

Since then, my mother has suffered from depression and later became superstitious about various nonsensical religions, and was swindled out of millions of yuan.

The evening sunlight painted the room with a golden hue, making it exceptionally bright and colorful. It shone through the thin curtains into the room, creating a luminous atmosphere.

At that moment, Kuchizu Tsukiko's eyes suddenly widened in shock.

For a fleeting moment, she noticed that her mother's body had become transparent.

She rubbed her eyes hard, and when she looked closely, she realized it was just her imagination.

She didn't say goodbye to her mother because ever since the car accident, her mother had disliked her intensely, even hated her, hating her for not dying in her brother's place!
