Words I Was Afraid To Hear Chapter 214: Be Happy 2

Masaich Xiu caressed the jade bangle greatly as he recalled that day two years ago.

.

She looked at his weary face--his face weary from the rushed travel--as she drew deep breaths.

He gently touched her face--as if he was afraid to break her--her small face which was almost covered by the oxygen mask, with every breath, fogging her pale skin.

She smiled. She tried to reach out to touch him, but stopped and winced as the tube connected to her side moved slightly.

"Shh...don't move. It's alright. It's gonna be fine." he a.s.sured her.

A tear fell from her eye. Her shaking hand tried to remove the oxygen mask, to no success.

Masaichi understood her intention, he helped move the mask down her neck area.

"Mmasa...kun..." she weakly called out.

Another tear streamed down her pale cheek.

"Hai...I'm here. I won't leave you alone again...does...does it hurt anywhere?" He moved some stray hair from her face.

She gently shook her head, then looked at him intently.

"Mas-maskun...I...I'm sorry...so-sorry..." her face was full of regret and guilt.

"Shh...it's not your fault...rest now." He replaced the mask to cover her nose and mouth as she took deep breaths.

Then he kissed her forehead as she closed her eyes.

Masaichi had a solemn face. He knew that his wife was vulnerable. He was full of regret for not coming back to City S in time to protect them.

But he also knew that she was not naive. Going to the enemy with her son was a choice she need not make.

In the end, because of this decision, he almost lost everything.

The following day, he went back to the hospital with Mantarou to visit. Since Agatha was in intensive care, relatives were only allowed for a few minutes. Nurses were a.s.signed to monitor the patient.

When they reached the intensive care complex, they were startled as several doctors and nurses seemed to flood in.

Masaichi had a bad feeling, as well as Mantarou, who clung onto him tightly.

He managed to pull a male nurse to inquire.

"What's happening?"

The fl.u.s.tered nurse replied, "The patient in room 5 suddenly had a hard time breathing, then her vitals went down. We-we're trying to revive her now." He struggled from the visitor's grip and joined the commotion.

Manta started crying. He knew the room where his mother is in.

Masaichi lifted him in his arms and embraced him tightly.

"We got heartbeat! Get the BP!" A female doctor suddenly shouted.

People who alternately were pumping onto the patient's chest stopped to wait if there would be spontaneous recovery of circulation. The one who was squeezing the air bag also checked if the patient would breath on her own, so he could synchronize air delivery.

At that moment, as if everything stopped.

"100/60!" Another doctor broke the silence and announced the patient's blood pressure.

Doctors and nurses stabilized the endotracheal tube they inserted, removing the connected bag and connecting the tubing to the mechanical ventilator. They also reconnected several wires for the monitoring of her vital signs.

The doctor who was leading the code walked towards the father and son.

She took out a piece of paper from her coat, then presented it to them.

"She was trying to write on this minutes before she had difficulty breathing. She struggled to give the paper before pa.s.sing out." She gave a slight nod as she walked away to excuse herself.

Masaichi unfolded the paper.

Agatha Yang had a nice, dainty handwriting.

The doodle that he tried to read was nothing like it.

"Maskun I sorry For giv me" were the letters which they somehow were able to make out of the lines.

Masaichi Xiu peered down on her unconscious face, slightly distorted by the tracheal tube fastened at the edge of her mouth.

He leaned close so he could whisper on her ear, "I forgive you."

.

"Otousan..."

Masaichi Xiu snapped out of his reverie with the voice of his son.

He stopped touching the jade bangle.

"Otousan, it's been two years already. I won't mind. I think, it's time for you to give yourself a chance to be happy."

"You're nine, right?" he looked at his son skeptically.

They both laughed.
