"I...I'll think about it again."
"Haven't you learned enough from my indecisiveness? Could it be that..."
Asami Mio paused, thought of a possibility, and found it so funny that she, who never showed her emotions, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"You don't want to do that old-fashioned pure love story, do you? You have been patient, allowing that woman Arisu Mieko to eat her mouth full of oil in private, and you are even looking forward to my end, and then you will personally save and redeem your Yuuki..."
"Enough, I say enough!"
When these extremely humiliating things were mentioned, Mina Sakai lost her temper and shouted angrily, "What does my business have to do with you?"
"Don't be anxious. Think carefully. At this point... are your plans realistic? Is it possible to achieve them?"
"Such a good opportunity, sister Mio, don't you want to grab it? Yuki is a rare person..."
"Don't test me. I'm not interested in men. I just want to watch a show."
Asami Mio sneered, picked up the doctor's coat that fell at her feet, stood up and left the suite.
"Get ready, the Yuuki you've been thinking about is about to come to you."
60. Painful choice! Cruel reality
Mio Asami, wearing a white coat, poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Hiroki Shimizu. She comforted him in a gentle tone.
"Don't worry, Mr. Shimizu. It may just be a minor cold. Even if it does relapse, it won't be as serious as last time. We will have ways to deal with it."
"Thank you...thank you."
Shimizu Yuki took the water and took a sip to moisten his dry lips. He rubbed his thumb on the rim of the cup nervously, unable to relax and feeling exhausted.
"Doctor Asami, is it true that Erika's illness cannot be completely cured?"
"Of course there is a way."
"really?"
Unexpectedly, the answer was so simple. Shimizu Yuuki was surprised. He put down the cup and clenched his hands on the sofa handle. "Why didn't Dr. Asami tell me earlier?"
"Of course there is a reason for this." Asami Mio pondered for a moment and lowered her voice.
"After the treatment some time ago, your lover is almost recovered. Except for a little less energy in daily life, his physical functions are almost the same as those of a normal person. I almost thought that this treatment could completely cure the disease, but it seems that it is not that simple."
"As for why the disease is recurring now, it should be that the patient's body has developed drug resistance. The previous drug is no longer effective. If the drug is not changed in time, all previous efforts may be in vain, and the physical condition will take a sharp turn for the worse. In the future, it may just be a chronic death."
"Then let's change the medicine!"
Hiroki Shimizu didn't think much about it. He never doubted Asami Mio's professional ability. She was the one who personally pulled Erika back from the brink of death when her life was in danger.
Now that he finally saw a glimmer of hope that Erika could be completely cured, how could he give up halfway!
"It's better to think things through. Of course, I don't question Mr. Shimizu's love for his wife, or his sincere determination. It's just that some things in this world..."
Asami Mio shook her head and let out a long sigh, as if she was feeling deeply regretful and unable to say this cruel fact.
"Don't worry, Doctor Asami. Just tell me everything you know."
Shimizu Hiroki's expression was numb. To suffer another hardship would only create another wound that would not bleed in his already broken heart. It didn't matter to him at all.
"It's not a big deal, but a practical problem that most people have to worry about. The disease your lover suffers from is too rare, and the corresponding drug prices are naturally not something that ordinary families can easily afford. With Mr. Qingshui's current financial ability... it would be difficult to support such a large amount of medical expenses, right?"
It is indeed for this reason!
Although Shimizu Hiroki had prepared himself mentally in advance, he was still confused after hearing every word the other party said. He slumped on the sofa, covered his cheeks with his hands, and remained silent for a long time.
"If we change the medicine, how confident are we that Erika will recover?"
"As a doctor, I can't give you a definite answer. But as a friend, if you are willing to treat me as a friend, I envy and admire the deep love between Mr. Shimizu and your lover from the bottom of my heart, and I don't want to see such a sad thing happen.
Therefore, I can assure you that as long as Mrs. Shimizu recovers enough to undergo surgery after the dressing is changed, I will immediately perform the operation myself. I am 100% sure and I am sure that no one else can do this. "
Having said that, Shimizu Hiroki would never dare to take the risk of taking the second path. How could he possibly joke about Erika's life and use it as a bargaining chip for trial and error?
The woman in front of him is the last straw he can grasp!
Yuuki Shimizu was determined not to delay Erika's treatment for even a second.
"Then let's change the medicine. As for the money issue...I'll figure it out."
"I don't have the final say on this matter. The hospital needs to assess and examine Mr. Shimizu's financial situation. The first payment for treatment alone is probably going to be quite a large sum."
"But didn't Doctor Asami say that Erika should change the dressing as soon as possible? We can't wait any longer..."
"Conservative treatment may be a solution." Asami Mio suddenly interrupted, "It will probably take seven to eight years. Of course, the later stages of the disease are very painful, and as your physical condition deteriorates, there will be no chance of recovery."
"No, we don't choose this." Shimizu Hiroki shook his head desperately. He really couldn't imagine a future without Erika, and his voice became trembling.
"I will definitely find a way to get the money, so I can't get treatment first..."
Asami Mio stared at Shimizu Hiroki quietly. He had his hair messy and his facial features twisted in pain. With his dull and rough skin, he looked like a homeless vagrant on the street.
But one has to admit that despite being in such a miserable state, the man still has an indescribable charm.
Especially those drooped, bloodshot eyes, so dark that not a single light could penetrate, yet exuding a decadent beauty.
Her eyes drifted and moved to the open neckline of Yuki Shimizu, where a bare collarbone was exposed.
The cold and necrotic heart seemed to come back to life at this moment, beating a little, and then immediately became silent, as if it was just an illusion.
Asami Mio raised the narrow-rimmed glasses on her nose, not realizing it, and spoke in her usual friendly and harmless tone.
"Mr. Shimizu, please don't worry. I can find a way to get your loved one treated first, but please raise the money as soon as possible. I sympathize with your situation, but this kind of thing... I really can't help."
Asami Mio sat in a leather swivel chair, her legs casually raised under the desk, and she glanced at the message on the computer.
"Mrs. Shimizu has been examined and is awake. She is emotionally unstable right now and just wants to see you."
"Yeah... yeah, I get it. I won't bother Doctor Asami for now."
Shimizu Hiroki responded slowly. He lowered his head and scrolled through the address book on his phone, but apart from the clients he had dealings with at work, he didn't know many people at all, let alone think that someone would be willing to help him borrow such a large sum of money.
In the end, I don't know how many times I turned it over and over, but every time I could only stay fixed on a name with the note "Minister Sakai".
Yuki Shimizu slowly stood up, smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes, and walked out of the office.
He slowly turned his head and looked at the woman working at her desk.
"Um... Doctor Asami, could you please not tell my wife about the medical expenses?"
61. Who is pure love?
Yuki Shimizu perked himself up, tidied his clothes, pushed open the door of the ward with a smile on his face, and walked in.
Looking at Erika leaning on the bed, she was staring at the tulips in the vase on the bedside. The woman's face was pale and clear, and her eyes were particularly red and swollen as if she had been crying for a long time.
Holding back the heartache, Shimizu Yuuki sat down next to the woman and held her cold hand with throbbing veins. "I'm here, Erika."
Smelling the unique scent of a man, Erika turned her head and looked at Shimizu Hiroki. Her originally dull eyes were now filled with tears. She went straight into her husband's arms, her thin shoulders twitching.
"Yuuki-kun, I...I didn't mean it. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm really scared...so scared."
Erika sobbed and her tears rolled down, wetting the collar of her hospital gown.
"What's wrong? Why should Erika apologize?" Shimizu Yuki frowned, looking confused.
"Eh? Did my illness relapse? I shouldn't have kept it a secret from Yuuki-kun. It's all my fault."
Shimizu Yuuki reached out and held Erika's cheek, wiping away the wet tears with his thumb. He seemed to find it funny, and the smile spreading from his eyes was gentle, affectionate, and full of love.
"What are you talking about? It's just a minor cold. The doctor told me that I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."
"Really...really?"
Erika frowned and looked at Shimizu Hiroki suspiciously, but after looking at him for a long time, she still couldn't find any flaws.
"How could I lie to Erika about something like this? I know you're worried and scared, but it's okay...it's okay now. Your body is almost healed after the treatment you received some time ago. This time you just caught a cold."
"So that's how it is. I was scared to death." She opened her little mouth and let out a breath, then shrugged her nose which was red from crying.
"My body, my illness... I'm sorry, I've been a burden to Yuuki-kun. It doesn't matter if I can't get treatment, but Yuuki-kun, please don't leave me, okay? I really can't lose Yuuki-kun..."
"I think Erika has burned her brain. What nonsense is she talking about?" Shimizu Hiroki pretended to be angry and rubbed the woman's hair.
"Did Erika forget what she promised me? When Erika recovers from her illness, we will leave Tokyo and live a good life somewhere where no one will disturb us..."
"Yeah, wherever Yuki-kun goes, I'll go!"
Erika snuggled into Shimizu Hiroki's arms again, her slender and soft body fitting tightly against the man's strong and powerful muscles, giving her a great sense of security.
In a short while, Erika, whose fever had just subsided, felt drowsy and was about to fall asleep.
Yuki Shimizu sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroking the woman's thin and bony back, and lowered his head to smell the faint tulip scent in her hair.
His voice was hoarse and low, slightly choked with sobs.
"Erika?"
"Huh? What's wrong?"
There was a response to every voice, and the woman slowly opened her sleepy eyes. Her soft and sticky voice sounded like she was acting coquettishly.
"I love you... Erika, I will always love you. No matter what, my heart only belongs to Erika. No matter what happens in the future, this is the only thing that will never change. Do you understand?"
He was giving instructions, but also seemed to be comforting himself.
"Okay, okay... I got it, Yuuki-kun, lower your head."
Shimizu Yuki did as he was told, and as soon as he bent down, Erika raised her face and kissed him on the lips. The gentle and soft touch instantly swept over his body.
"Hehe~ The sneak attack was successful! Yuuki-kun is an idiot!"
The woman giggled, and the sound gradually faded away, until only the regular breathing sound remained.
She looked like she was asleep, with only her pink lips still moving slightly.
Shimizu Hiroki lowered his body even lower and listened carefully.
"I love you too, Yuuki-kun."
To the woman's loving confession, the man's lips trembled and he could not respond. He could only close his eyes sadly, with unspeakable bitterness between his lips and teeth.
……
Handfuls of photos fell from the desk, like flying snowflakes, covering the ground.
Although I had prepared myself mentally, and had imagined countless times in my mind how Hiroki Shimizu would be devoured and feasted upon when he took revenge on the evil woman whom he had killed and thrown into the abyss seven years ago.
But when Mina Sakai saw those real photos with her own eyes, she still couldn't hold back the raging anger that burst out from the bottom of her heart.
Human beings are born with an instinct to be humiliating.
He should have just walked away, but he couldn't help but send someone to follow him and take these photos.
Even if I really took pictures, I could have just turned a blind eye to them and burned them, but I still searched through them thoroughly and didn't miss a single one.
She saw with her own eyes that the handsome, cold, misogynistic, and loyal husband with a family in the photo was threatened and oppressed by a greasy woman who wore a baseball cap and a tight sportswear, and whose words and actions revealed a lewd smell. He had no choice but to take action behind his wife's back.
On a crowded and noisy tram, in a closed and dark basement, and in a rented house just below the man and his wife’s apartment…
As for what happened specifically, there is no way to record it, but any adult with a healthy mind and body can imagine what happened behind the scenes and what an unbearable ** scene it was.
Most of these ** scenes were filmed and recorded, and became new bargaining chips to threaten men, thus trapping them in a cycle of decadence from which they could never recover.
This is the effect that Mina Sakai wanted to achieve, even better than that. Her plan also included the fate of Asami Mio.
And she just had to wait for Shimizu Yuki to be completely ruined, and then she would appear in front of him like a savior...
This is the design and planning. If you think about it carefully, you will know how ridiculous it is.
In fact, Mina Sakai also knew very well that even if Hiroki Shimizu was really in despair, he might not believe her anymore, but she just couldn't swallow the humiliation she felt back then!
She was extremely unwilling to prove that the woman named Erika was just an intruder, and that she and Shimizu Hiroki fell in love at first sight, and it was true pure love!
Mina Sakai seemed to be caught in an awkward and indecisive decision.
In the end, he obeyed the crazy desire in his heart to eat meat, used the same method as Mieko, and put Shimizu Yuki into his mouth first.
Or she should verify that she and Shimizu Hiroki are truly in love, pure and flawless, and thus sweep away the shadow left behind by the past and be reborn!
Just as she was struggling with her conscience, the phone on the table rang at the right moment. It was Yuki Shimizu.
