?


    (I had fixed chapter 43, Velys still not tell Velys about the Apocalypse. Velys just told her about Hikaru is trying to store the food. Sorry about that >"<)


    Ring! Ring! Ring!


    Suddenly, the phone rang, Hikaru discovered that someone had called his number.


    Seeing the strange number, Hikaru frowned but still answered: "Hello?!"


    "Is it Hikaru? I am the director of Kisok hospital. The girl you brought yesterday has undergone surgery."


    "However, her condition is far from what I thought. Haizz, it''s hard to say it all over the phone, can youe see her for a bit?"


    Hearing that, Hikaru nced at Lah and Velys, then looked around the mansion again, finally, he nodded and said, "Okay! I''ll be there in twenty minutes."


    "Ah! That''s great, but…"


    Hikaru frowned, "What''s wrong? If it''s the hospital fee, you can just deduct it from my card."


    "That''s not it! That''s not it! In fact, it''s nothing too important. It''s just… there''s a policewoman interrogating her. But the girl couldn''t speak because her tongue was cut off."


    "Interrogating..." Hikaru immediately thought of Akiko and he replied: "I see, I''ll be there soon."


    "Yes! Thank you."


    Hikaru turned off the phone, his gaze gradually turning into annoyance. He asked, "Rika, what are the odds that I can kill Tadashi?"


    [About 40%. However… I advise you to stay calm, wait until the odds are higher than 80% before you act.]


    Hikaru shook his head and said, "It depends on him. If he doesn''t do anything too much, I''ll let him live a little longer. If he keeps provoking my patience…"


    Hikaru''s voice was filled with coldness.


    Although he was talking to Rika through his thoughts, his eyes filled with murderous intent were seen by Lah and Velys.


    "Hikaru…" Velys said worriedly…


    "I''m fine. Lah, take me to Kisok hospital."


    Lah heard that, sighed and said, "Okay… mohh… I''m not your driver either."


    …


    At Kisok Hospital, in the intensive care unit.


    Shioriy on the bed, and stared nkly out the window.


    Beside the bed, Akiko sat down while frowning at Shiori, then she nced at the notebook she left on the bed for Shiori.


    Akiko knew that Shiori had her tongue cut off and couldn''t speak, so she used a notebook and writing as a way to help themmunicate.


    However, after regaining consciousness, Shiori did not cooperate with Akiko, instead she just sat still and looked out the window as if she was waiting for someone.


    Akiko spent more than 30 minutes trying to convince Shiori but she didn''t seem to care what she said.


    Akiko sighed, and continued speaking: "Girl, what''s your name? Can you tell me your name?"


    "Don''t worry. In this ce, no one will harm you."


    "Look at me… this is a police uniform, I''m a policeman, I will help you get justice."


    "Just write down what you know in this notebook."


    "Could it be… you don''t know the words?"


    "It''s okay… you can draw, or when I ask you a question, you can just nod or shake your head."


    "Girl, Hikaru is the one who kidnapped you, right?"


    As Akiko finished speaking, Shiori suddenly nced at her.


    Akiko saw Shiori finally reacting to her words and was overjoyed.


    But… Akiko couldn''t be overjoyed right now because Shiori''s eyes were filled with hatred, murderous intent, and coldness.


    Although Shiori was badly injured, her whole body was wrapped in white bandages. Even the right half of her face was covered with bandages, leaving only her left eye.


    But with just that eye, Shiori made Akiko feel fear.


    It was the look of someone who had seen hell, seen countless deaths, and seen countless terrible things.


    Akiko swallowed her words, she then tried to calm down, and say, "That look… you mean… Hikaru is the one who kidnapped you right..."


    Before Akiko could finish her sentence, Shiori grabbed the notebook from the bed and threw it at her face.


    Akiko was hit by the notebook, although it didn''t hurt but it also made her angry.


    She stood up, her face filled with murderous intent and she shouted: "You''re stupid! Do you know you just lost your chance to be free?"


    "In this world, the only one who can save you from Hikaru can only be me. You…"


    "Oi! You''re bothering her." Suddenly, a cold voice interrupted Akiko''s words.


    Akiko knew whose voice it was, however, she also sensed death. That''s right, she clearly recognized death in those words.


    She slowly turned her head, and she saw Hikaru standing at the door, his face that was calm was filled with cold, eyes like a hunter who was staring at his prey.


    "You..." Akiko wanted to say something when Hikaru immediately interrupted.


    "Akiko, I remember that patients who have just undergone surgery need to rest, since they can''t bear the mental pressure. So… what are you doing?"


    Akiko snorted after hearing that: "Huh! I''m just questioning her, I need enough evidence to convict you."


    Hikaru didn''t answer, he just calmly looked at Akiko. However, his eyes were starting to show impatience.


    As long as Akiko didn''t give him a good reason, he''ll break her neck in no time.


    While doing so would allow Tadashi to have another heroine more capable than Akiko, he also didn''t want a fly like Akiko to be hovering around him all the time.


    Dirty and annoying.


    "Akiko…" Suddenly, Lah entered the room and said, "It seems Morital has given you another mission, right? Besides… he also confiscated your gun, don''t you realize what you''re doing is wrong?"


    Akiko felt a bit surprised when she saw Lah, but after remembering that Morital had said Lah would watch over Hikaru, she calmed down.


    Akiko took a deep breath and said, "I don''t care."


    She looked at Hikaru with eyes filled with disdain: "Perhaps he used money and power to force Morital to do so. Maybe people will be afraid of him but I am not afraid of him, I will bring him to the light of justice, and clean up this society."


    ps! ps! ps!


    Hikaru pped his hands… he shrugged and said: "Nice talk, but… get the hell out of here please. This ce does not wee you."


    Akiko was angry when she heard that, but after seeing Shiori''s disgusted look, she could only hold back her anger and scolded Shiori: "You idiot! It seems that you like being in Hikaru''s hell so much, you should die!"


    After saying that, Akiko immediately left, but as he passed by Hikaru, he said, "Cherish your present life, Akiko, because you won''t know when your life will end. ."


    Hearing that, Akiko turned her head to look at Hikaru: "Are you threatening me?"


    Hikaru shrugged, he shook his head and said: "No, I am not threatening you, but I am simply speaking..."


    "Good!" Akiko frowned: "I''m waiting… I wonder what a useless and weak person like you can do."


    After saying that, Akiko immediately left. Lah saw this and approached Hikaru and whispered in his ear: "Are you going to kill Akiko?"


    Hikaru nced at Lah: "No! Why do we have to do that?"


    "Hahaha… don''t hide it, your eyes are saying that you will definitely kill her. It''s just… you''re just waiting for your chance."


    "I also advise you not to lose your temper, Akiko''s family are not ordinary people, they are all terrible figures in the national army."


    Hikaru shook his head, he didn''t want to talk much to Lah because the more he said, the more secret information he would reveal.


    He approached Shiori, Shiori saw him and was happy, she even immediately wanted to get out of bed to approach him.


    Of course, Hikaru wouldn''t let Shiori do that, he hurriedly approached and ced his hands on her shoulders, and using a very gentle voice he said: "Don''t worry, you just need to rest well."


    Shiori happily held his hand, both of her hands were covered with white gauze. Hikaru let her lie down with one hand of his, while he used his other hand to pat her head tofort her.


    Lah seeing this scene, felt that she was the only one isted by Hikaru, and she felt a little jealous in her heart.


    Huh! Obviously, I was the one who gave you your first kiss, yet you always avoid me like someone with an infectious disease.


    You even treat me like an enemy, but you treat other girls so gently.


    Gru…gru…gru…


    ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Hikaru of course didn''t care about Lah''s thoughts, he was focusing all of his attention on Shiori.


    Heforted Shiori while thinking about what to do next. He didn''t want to leave her alone in the hospital because he had more work to do.


    Anyway, Shiori''s situation was quite bad, and someone must regrly take care of and monitor her health.


    But he couldn''t bring her to Noack''s mansion, anyway, it was said that in the novel that Shiori got her superpowers thanks to herself falling into despair.


    At that time, her strong hope of survival helped her gain superpowers simr to Healing.


    If he kept her by his side too safely, would Shiori gain healing powers?


    That is a big question.


    Suddenly Shiori looked at the notebook that Akiko hadn''t picked up yet. Hikaru also saw Shiori''s eyes, he let go of her, picked up the notebook and gave it to her.


    In the notebook there was a pen hooked there. Shiori held the pen, but the pain from the wound made her eyes watery.


    Shiori still endured it and wrote words on that notebook. Hikaru could see how hard she was trying.


    Even though it was just a few simple words, she was using all her strength and trying to suppress the pain to write them.


    After she finished writing, she held the notebook up in front of her.


    "My name is Shiori, thank you for saving me."


    After that, Shiori continued to write. Although the room was air-conditioned, and the temperature was always kept at 26 - 27 degrees, her lovely face was still sweating.


    This proved that Shiori was trying to write with all her might. Sweat was pouring out like a bath, and the wounds that had just been repaired on her hands and fingers began to bleed.


    Lah stepped forward, she wanted to stop Shiori because the blood oozing from the wound had soaked the bandages.


    But Hikaru immediately raised his hand to stop her, he nced at Lah, gesturing to her not to help.


    Lah was so upset that she could only sigh and step back.


    After a while, Shiori held up the notebook: "I don''t know how to thank you. However, I will do whatever you want."


    Hikaru smiled and said, "Don''t worry, I saved you for my own purposes. However, for now, you just need to rest well, understand."
