I have bound two systems.

"Well, see you tomorrow."

After comforting the little kitten, Chisato Suzumiya sat on the sofa in the living room, thought for a while, and then called Touma Kazusa.

I don’t know how that guy feels now. Logically speaking, he just has a fever. As long as he rests well and takes medicine on time, he should have recovered by now.

However, from the time the call was made until it was disconnected, neither Touma nor Sa answered the call.

The time now is past ten o'clock.

Is she already asleep?

Suzumiya Chisato guessed silently, sent a message and didn't think about it anymore.

Finally, he made the third call after get off work tonight.

"..."

The call was connected quickly, but there was no immediate sound from the other end.

Suzumiya Chisato raised an eyebrow.

"Issueshiki?"

"……kindness."

There was a reluctant and unenthusiastic response from the other side.

"Are you on your period?"

"..."

I could hear the faint sound of a girl taking a deep breath on the other end of the phone.

"This is much more serious than my period. Guess what, senior? Today I found a scumbag. He is the future star of the Japanese gigolo world. He can actually maintain relationships with eight girls at the same time. He is so bold. Is he really not afraid of being cut into pieces after his crime is exposed?"

"You obviously misunderstood something. Things are not what you thought. But why are you angry? It's you who caused me trouble today, right?"

"Let's put it this way. I feel bad for those girls! Also, Senior, you said things weren't what I thought... What do you mean by that?"

Isshi Caiyu asked with some concern.

"That's not important. Anyway, I called you just because I promised you that I would contact you by phone in the evening. I just wanted to let you know that I have settled the matter now, so you don't have to worry."

"Who would worry about a playboy like you?"

"That's the best. Although today's meeting was interrupted by an unexpected incident, I think I have given you all the suggestions I should give you for your relationship. So you should be bold and try it from now on. I think you will definitely get definite results as long as you follow the steps."

Listening to Suzumiya Chisato's lazy voice, Isshi Iroha seemed to understand his implication and said in a panic,

"Stinky senior, what do you mean by this? You clearly said before that you would help me until I catch up with my senior! Are you saying this now to try to run away?"

"It's not about running away halfway. It's about letting you actually try. It's like studying. What's the point of just burying your head in books? You have to take an exam to test your academic ability, right? After that, we can focus on tutoring you on the questions you got wrong. This is the most efficient way."

"...After all this talk, you just think I caused you trouble today, so you don't want to help me now! I helped you cover up at the Ocean Exhibition Hall before!"

Isshi Iroha tried to argue and find a way back, but Suzumiya Chisato shook her head and said she had made up her mind.

"The senior who bravely went to meet you has come out. I am waiting to hear your report on the results of the battle. I wish you all the best. Good night."

"Hey... Hey! Damn it, you stinky senior! You big scumbag!"

When Isshiki Caiyu heard the busy tone on her phone, she angrily threw the phone on the bed and pulled over her doll and started beating it.

After Chisato Suzumiya hung up the phone, she sighed with a tired look on her face.

He was fed up with this daily routine of carefully maintaining a balance between the girls around him.

After all, the current situation that made him feel scared and exhausted was ultimately his own fault.

After experiencing various events in the past few days, Chisato Suzumiya was reminded and his originally optimistic ideas underwent some changes.

There is no reason to continue to be so leisurely like this. Let's take action tomorrow towards Kasa who knows nothing.

Even if you don't tell her about the situations around you right away, you should gradually start to test her thoughts so that she can have a certain degree of awareness of the current situation around her.

This is a step that must be taken sooner or later and is inevitable.

------

But the next day, Tuesday, when Chisato Suzumiya came to class, she found that the desk next to her was still empty.

Even after the first class was over, Touma and Sa still didn't show up.

He took out his cell phone, and the message he sent last night still showed as unread.

He quickly dialed the number again, but just like last night, no one answered the call and the phone was automatically hung up.

still sleeping?

But it's already past nine o'clock. If Hesha has really been sleeping, she has slept for nearly twelve hours.

Chisato Suzumiya, who was holding the phone tightly, felt a little worried, but the bell for the second class had already rung, so he could only suppress his emotions and stare at the teacher writing and drawing on the blackboard anxiously.

After that, after the second class and the third class, he would continuously call Touma Kazusa.

But each time the situation was exactly the same as the previous one, which made him feel more and more uneasy and irritated.

It was finally lunch time. Chisato Suzumiya, who still hadn't contacted Touma Kazusa, asked for leave due to illness, walked out of the school gate, hailed a taxi, and came to Kazusa's house.

He rang the doorbell several times, but no one answered.

He looked up and motioned to the dark wing that had landed on the fence not far from him to check around the Touma residence.

The Dark Wing did as he was told, flew around and quickly landed on his shoulder, shaking its little head, which meant that it didn't see anyone in the room.

Suzumiya Chisato frowned.

She’s not at home and she doesn’t answer the phone. Where did Hesha go?

At this time, another taxi stopped in front of Dong Ma's house.

Chisato Suzumiya thought it was Kasa who came back, and went to greet her excitedly, but the person who got off the car was a middle-aged woman.

"You are...Hesha's..."

The middle-aged woman recognized Chisato Suzumiya. Just yesterday morning, when she came to buy vegetables, she met Chisato Suzumiya in the living room. At that time, she had a preconceived notion that he was Miss Yoko's boyfriend.

"Auntie Ohara!"

Chisato Suzumiya also recognized her. She was the housekeeper who usually took care of Kazusa's daily life.

"Hesha hasn't answered my calls since last night. Do you know where she went?"

"This one……"

Xiaoyuan could see the urgency and worry on Suzumiya Chisato's face, but even so, she didn't know whether she should tell him what she knew.

After all, the two had only met once, and she had no idea whether the boy in front of her was worthy of trust.

But she quickly made her decision.

"You come with me first."

She was just a nanny. Twenty minutes ago, she suddenly received a call from Miss Hesha with an unfamiliar number, asking her to go to her house to pack some clothes and take the mobile phone in the room to a private hospital far away from the city center.

If you can't make a decision yourself, just let the boy call Miss Hesa ​​and let Miss Hesa ​​make the decision.

------

The bad news came suddenly, and everything happened too fast.

Touma and Sa, wearing pajamas, sat on a cold chair in the hospital corridor.

Her beautiful and sharp eyes were now swollen from crying, and they had lost their former vivid and delicate luster. With her head lowered and motionless, she looked like a lifelike doll.

Footsteps were heard coming closer and closer in the corridor. Kudo Miyoko came to Touma Kazusa and handed her the rice ball and drink.

But Touma and Sa just glanced sideways and shook their heads.

"Hesa... I understand that you are worried about your mother, but no matter what, you have to take care of yourself. You won't be able to survive without eating."

Kudo Miyoko said worriedly.

But this time, Touma and Sa didn't respond at all.

Kudo Miyoko let out a long sigh.

She also didn't understand why President Yoko's condition suddenly worsened to such an extent that she was even admitted to the intensive care unit.

After she received a phone call from the doctor last night, she immediately stopped the work at hand and rushed to Dong Ma's house as soon as possible.

Touma Yoko told her daughter the truth about her illness, which she had been trying to hide from her daughter. This was no longer the time to hide it. As a daughter, she had the right to know what her mother was going through.

After that, Touma and Sa looked as if the sky had fallen. They were so frightened that they were speechless for a while. They didn't take anything with them, not even a change of clothes, and went straight to the hospital in pajamas and slippers.

Up to now, she hadn't closed her eyes for nearly sixteen hours.

…………

Chapter 266 Deterioration

Kudo Miyoko is affiliated with the Touma Yoko OFFICE branch of Touma Yoko Co., Ltd.

She has excellent work ability, and her position is similar to that of a personal assistant or secretary. She is also deeply trusted by Touma Yoko, and the relationship between the two is more like close friends than that of a superior and a subordinate.

Therefore, Touma Yoko did not want her daughter to worry so she hid her illness from her and told Kudo Miyoko everything without reservation.

I also filled in her name and number in the column for emergency contact when I was hospitalized.

Kudo Miyoko is both grateful and sad towards Touma Yoko.

If this world-famous pianist had not discovered her and carefully trained and taught her, she would probably still be working as a social animal in an ordinary company, being ordered around by her superiors.

Why did such a kind and approachable person fall for the disease, especially the kind of disease that cannot be completely cured with the current medical level?

Looking at Touma Yoko who was in a coma in the ward, with a pale face and looked extremely haggard, Kudo Miyoko felt very anxious and uneasy, but in front of Touma Kazusa who was completely panicked, she had to show the calmness of an adult, give her support and give her strength.

"…Dr. Kensho Takayanagi is a world-renowned hematologist. He and your mother are old friends. He is currently discussing the next treatment plan with other doctors. Don't worry, the president will be fine."

"..."

Touma and Sa nodded affectionately, but after coming out of the ward, her gaze, which had seen her mother's weak appearance, never changed from beginning to end.

Kudo Miyoko couldn't grasp any useful information from her expression.

She sighed lightly.

Yes, I suddenly found out without any warning that my mother was suffering from leukemia, and now she is in the most critical moment. No matter who it is, no one can recover from such a situation, right?

"……come over."

Kudo Miyoko sat next to Kazusa and put her arm around her shoulders.

A scientific experiment once showed that when people hug, they will feel more or less relaxed and happy.

Even if it was only a little bit, Miyoko wanted to give some comfort to the girl in front of her.

Just as the expressionless Kasa was held in his arms, the cell phone in Kudo Miyoko's pocket rang.

Midoriko was unhappy about the phone ringing at this time, but she couldn't ignore it.

Touma Yoko is now in a coma, and most of the work in the office must be approved by her before it can proceed.

At this time, the more things cannot go wrong.

Hesha sensibly gestured for her to answer the phone, and she stood up and walked to the window in the corridor.

Kudo Miyoko answered the phone and responded first. Then, as she listened to the words on the other end of the phone, her expression gradually became subtle.

She whispered "wait a moment", then covered her phone and came to Hesha's side.

"It was my aunt who called. She said that Suzumiya-kun is with her right now..."

The moment that last name was mentioned, Kudo Miyoko could clearly see that Kazusa's originally sad and dull eyes suddenly lit up with a gleam of spirit.

She continued,

"He couldn't get through to you and was very worried, so he asked for leave and went to your house and ran into your aunt who had gone back to get your clothes. Your aunt doesn't know what to do now. Do you... want to tell him?"

Touma Kazusa took a deep breath and reached out her hand to Kudo Miyoko.

Kudo Miyoko understood and quickly put the phone in her hand.

"Hello, Auntie Ohara... um, it's me... let Qianli answer the phone."

The aunt on the other end of the phone responded.

Then there was a burst of tiny sounds, and then the voice that made her feel extremely familiar and reassuring came through the microphone of the mobile phone.
