Anime Heart

"Dad, I'm here. Here's your coffee." She walked to the table, placed the coffee in front of her father who was engrossed in reading the newspaper, and reminded him that she had arrived.

"Open it for me!"

Arima Sento rolled his eyes. He needed to ask for a favor, so he decided to compromise.

He obediently picked up the coffee, opened the lid, and placed it in front of his father again.

At that moment, Arima Shiki put down his newspaper, took the coffee, and stared intently at his son.

"Why do you want to save her?" Arima Shiki asked this question. He didn't say that she couldn't be cured, but only asked Arima Kento about his reasons for saving Miyazono Kaori.

Realizing this, Arima Kento was pleasantly surprised and somewhat incredulous. "Dad! Is there any possibility that Kaoru's illness can be cured?!"

Arima Shiki didn't speak, but continued to look at Arima Kento. He wouldn't answer Arima Shiki's question unless Arima Shiki did.

"The reason I wanted to save her is actually very simple. I felt that she shouldn't be like a match, only able to emit light briefly. She should have a deeper and broader sky."

As he spoke, Arima Kento nodded, as if he had uttered something extraordinary.

Knowing his son's character, Arima Shiki retorted directly, "Speak like a human being."

I like her!

Arima Shiki nodded. "That's enough. I really admire men who work hard and do things for the women they like."

"Dad, you still haven't answered my question!"

"That girl's illness is called 'spinocerebellar degeneration,' right?" Arima Shiki asked. After receiving his son's answer, he said, "I didn't let you two come into contact with her before, so you may not know, but I'm quite familiar with this disease."

"Because your mother, Zao hope, died of this disease."

Arima Kento's eyes widened, and anyone could see the look in his eyes. "This..."

"Doesn't that mean Xiao Xun is beyond saving?"

“You heartless bastard, all you can think about is your little girlfriend.” Arima Shiki retorted to his son as usual, then slowly said, “After all, your mother only exists in your memory.”

"Don't deny it. Your feelings for your mother aren't as strong as your brother Kousei's. You might have had them before, but they're different now."

At that moment, Arima Kento thought he had revealed the fact that he was actually just another person who had obtained the memories of 'Arima Kento'.

But Arima Shiki continued, "Three years ago, this disease was indeed incurable, but now it's different."

“Your previous idea was correct. Your aunt does have a way to save this girl, and this method is something she recently came up with by combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine with some special techniques. If it had come out sooner, hope might not have died.”

"Don't try to comfort me, I'm fine with it," Arima Shiki said, stopping his son from speaking.

"Because your aunt couldn't save your mother three years ago, she felt very guilty. This dual guilt, as both a family member and a doctor, drove her to solve this disease that left countless people helpless."

"That's why she spent the last three years seeking out renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, all in an effort to find a solution. Do you think she's keen on launching a new school of medicine? She's not that idle; she just wants to solve this disease."

"Be thankful! Your aunt called me a couple of days ago. She has almost found a solution, but unfortunately, she doesn't have any patients with this condition, so she can't verify it."

"So, now you have a choice."

"Let your girlfriend undergo a treatment with an unknown outcome and an unknown process; or rather, those so-called traditional treatment methods."

Arima Shiki continued, "Since I've already promised to help you save her, I will definitely do it. But which of these two methods will you choose?"

Arima Kento didn't answer immediately. He was thinking about it. According to his mind, he would naturally accept it. Traditional treatment methods, not to mention the process, are unlikely to change the final result. So why ask?

However, it's not enough for her to just say it; it also depends on Kaori Miyazono's thoughts.

"Could you give me some time? I'd like to ask for Xiao Xun's opinion." This was Arima Kento's answer.

"Yes, this disease can't be cured immediately, there's still time. But it's best to decide quickly, because your aunt might be running around the world again tomorrow or the day after, and then you'll be in trouble."

"I understand. I'll give you an answer tonight." With that, Arima Kento prepared to leave, wanting to go back and find Miyazono Kaoru right now.

Seeing his intention, Ma Zhigui stopped him and said, "Don't rush. Since you're already here, have lunch before you leave! It's already eleven o'clock. You should also meet your sister."

"Besides, I know your answer, but haven't you thought about how to persuade the girl and her parents? Treatment requires staying on the mainland. Will the girl go alone, or will her whole family go?"

"So, think it through carefully here before you go find that girl!"

My dad's words made sense. My aunt's hospital is in mainland China, but there are no branches in Japan. So, if Kaori Miyazono wants to be treated, she has to go to mainland China.

How can I persuade them as a family? This is definitely something I need to consider.

Chapter 58 Ako's Recent Situation

Understanding this, Ma Xiandong also knew that this matter could not be rushed and that he needed to consider it carefully.

Seeing his son sitting on the sofa in the study, deep in thought, Yu Ma Zhigui didn't disturb him. In fact, he already had a way to persuade him.

But since it was my son who brought this up, he has to come up with a solution himself. I keep saying that my son is no good in this way or that way, but I still hope that he can grow into a person who can stand on his own two feet.

Besides, I've already provided him with so much help. If he can't even persuade someone, then my son is truly nothing more than a parasite.

This is a test for him! Only if he can complete it, or rather, meet my expectations, can I be satisfied with the result.

We'll decide whether to nurture him properly, depending on the situation. Even if we don't groom him as an heir, it can still enhance his abilities.

This world still has talented and capable people who can live well, while those who have no talent at all, even parasites, are repulsive.

There's no way around it; that's the situation in large families. If everyone just sits around doing nothing, who will support the family?

When rice weevils infest the land, this family is not far from extinction.

Arima Shiki picked up the newspaper from the table and continued reading it carefully.

Others might find it unbelievable that their son would fall for a girl he'd never met in such a short time.

However, Arima Shiki doesn't think so. How so? Well, I guess it's hereditary! Because he also fell in love with his wife, Wasabi Saki, in a very short time back then.

After reading the report on the investigation of the girl, Arima Shiki finally understood why both of his sons had fallen for the girl named 'Miyazono Kaori' at the same time.

Kaori Miyazono's twin sons may not have realized that she resembles Saki Wasabe in many ways.

Especially now that Kaori Miyazono is still in relatively good health, her behavior is almost exactly the same as that of Hayashi Hayashi when they first got married.

If it weren't for the different appearance, Arima Shiki would have thought that Wasabi Saki had returned, which is why he said things like, "If I were ten years younger, I would want to pursue this girl."

It is precisely because of all of the above that this girl is so attractive, and of course, her personality also plays a role.

Even when you're on the edge of an abyss, you still reach out to pull someone hanging over the edge.

Having reviewed the investigation, Arima Shiki understood the situation between Miyazono Kaori and Arima Kousei, and he could understand why Miyazono Kaori had chosen her youngest son.

Admiration and infatuation are different. Simply put, one arises between people of different levels, while the other arises between people of the same level.

The girl's musical talent was indeed outstanding, and he had watched the recording of that competition. He was very concerned about his son's situation, which was why he obtained information about the other party not long after his son started acting strangely.

If Haruko's treatment is successful, then I can also have an excellent daughter-in-law, which would be a very good thing.

Thinking of this, Arima Shiki's lips curled up slightly.

Ako's school was not far from her home. At this moment, the last class was in her classroom, and the teacher was writing furiously on the podium, expressing his passion for teaching.

However, whenever I look at the last two rows, I can't help but shake my head and sigh.

"Hey, watch your positioning. Tank, protect me and ADC. Assassin, don't come out yet. Ambush them and wait for the enemy backline to come over."

"Yes, yes, yes! Now! Han Xin, cut down Di Renjie! Yay!! Nice! One for five, we win! One wave!"

Even though they tried their best to suppress the noise, the teacher could still hear a buzzing sound in their ears, but they couldn't scold these guys.

Mobile games are killing people!

Unlike a week ago, when no one wanted to play with her, now all the players in the class wanted to team up with her.

The series of whispered instructions just now were spoken by Ayako. The other students found it hard to believe that Ayako's skill level had improved so much.

She's only been playing this game for a week and she's already at Platinum rank; she'll probably be promoted to Diamond rank soon.

That was the promotion match where Yazi advanced from Platinum III to Platinum II. Playing games during class has become the norm; at most, the teacher will just say a few words to them.

Besides, Lucian was already a Diamond last night, while I'm still a Platinum. I must be promoted to Diamond today and then inform Lucian so he knows that I'm Yazi!

With this thought in mind, just as I was about to start the next game, there was a sudden knock on the classroom door.

The principal beckoned to the teacher on the platform, and the teacher quickly went over. The two talked quietly for a moment, and then the teacher returned to the platform and said, "Arima Yako, your mother is here to see you. You can leave school early at noon, and you don't have to stay at school for lunch break."

Yako quickly clicked away the matchmaking icon. Her mother was coming to find her? Had she unknowingly done something wrong again?

Having learned about her mother's methods, she is now somewhat afraid of her mother.

I apologized to my teammates, then quickly packed my things and left the classroom.

From afar, I saw my mother's figure and quickly went over, saying, "Mom, what happened? I'm in class!"

Risa Taneda glanced at her daughter and said, "Heh, I'm too lazy to expose you. Hurry up and come home with me, someone very important is coming."

"An important person? Who is it?"

“Didn’t you ask before? You have two older brothers. Now, one of your older brothers has arrived,” Risa Taneda said slowly.

Yako immediately stopped in her tracks, looking at her mother in surprise, and said, "Brother...brother?! Is he Uncle's son?"

"That's right! Your uncle's son, isn't he your brother?"

"Aaaaah! But I'm not ready yet. Now suddenly a brother who's not related to me by blood appears. I don't want him! What if he's a pervert? That would be terrible!" Ayako's mind was still racing.

Risa Taneda rolled her eyes. Her daughter's current thoughts were really upsetting! In response, she delivered a chop to the head with her hand.

"Mom, why did you hit me!"

"You deserve a beating! Don't say another word, just come home with me peacefully, that's all you can do now!"

Inside the villa, Arima Shiki put down his newspaper, looked at Arima Sento, and said, "They'll be back soon. I need to prepare the meal; it's my turn to cook today."

Arima Kento looked up at his father and asked, "Do you need my help? I can do some things too."

"Okay!"

Chapter Fifty-Nine: My Adorable Little Sister

His father knew he could cook, which he had known for a long time. After all, he had been out in the world for a long time, and it wouldn't do if he didn't know how to cook. Eating out all the time would be too expensive.

Since his father had been monitoring him for so long, he must know that he could cook.

My father is very skilled; he was once praised so much that he could be a head chef. He can only help out his father.

"By the way, how did you learn to cook?" This question suddenly popped up between the father and son who were washing vegetables in the kitchen. Of course, it was Ma Zhigui who asked it.
