I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband

Until the girl finally moved. She scratched her neck as she smiles at him a bit awkwardly.

She didn't know why she said those words, but that moment, she decided to move on right away and try doing it instead. Besides, it's really been too long since her husband was within her reach like this. She will grab every chances to make up for the lost days when he was away.

"Shall we sit?" she then asked as if she was an olden day gentle man while the man just nodded like the most obedient graceful cold goddess.

However, before Davi could turn and walk towards the dining table, the cellphone in her pocket suddenly rung. The two of them stared at each other for a while before she answered the call in front of him.

"Hello?"

"Hello? Are you Haru Mizuri's kin?"

The moment Davi heard her little brother's name, her heartbeat instantly fell in chaos as the smile in her face faded. Fear and worry immediately reflected across her eyes as she gripped her phone tight while her voice started to falter.

"Y-yes, I am her sister, m-may I help you?"

"Ms. Mizuri, your brother has been rushed here in the hospital---"

As soon as she heard the voice saying her brother was rushed in the hospital, Davi's brain turned blank and the phone fell in her hand.

Thankfully, Sei who was watching her the whole time managed to catch the phone. He looked at the girl who was just smiling brightly a moment ago instantly turned into a lifeless white sheet, before he answered the phone himself.

"What hospital?" he asked and as soon as he heard the answer, he ended the call as he dialed another number on his own cellphone.

"Zaki, get the car. Now." His voice was serious as his eyes were focused on the helpless girl in front of him. It was the first time he saw her like this. The fear in her eyes were even greater than her fear with any ghosts. Her eyes that usually emitting such an overwhelming determination and fighting spirit were like stars that instantly lost its light. That moment, the brave and cheerful girl finally revealed her Achilles heel right before his eyes.

Sei's fist clenched for a while before he held her hand. And as if their palms just embraced warmly, he held her hand gently as ever. That very moment, as soon as Davi felt his warmth, she lifted her head, as if his hand was an energy ball that instantly returned the life in her eyes.

The man spoke no words but Davi strangely felt as if he was saying 'don't worry, he'll be fine' silently. And as if she heard him said it, she nodded at him, causing the man to get stunned for a while before they finally rushed towards the door.

They get into the car without letting go of each other's hand. And as the car sped through the city hospital, nobody said a word. Davi's eyes were filled with worry but the warm hand she's holding onto was like a powerful pillar that was lifting her, as if telling her she will never fall again as long as she won't let go.
