As a doctor, Sano thought he already dealt with everything. He thought he adjusted to seeing people's distraught faces. But nothing beats the look on Terashima Yuhi's face right now. He thought he already saw everything, but this was something else.

"She will be fine after an examination."

".."

"Terashima, look, she isn't dead." Sano had to say it. He knew it wasn't the right time. He almost thought she was dead too when he saw all that blood.

He was about to leave when a man with bright red hair rushed past. "Sumire?"

"Examination."

The redhead clicked his tongue annoyed. "Why bring her to a hospital? You know I'm back.. I know your jealous and all that. But think about her life first."

"What about the child?" Yuhi suddenly questioned.

Sano sighs. "The child is healthier than she is." He glances over at the redhead, man. Why does this person seem familiar? It feels like he has met-- red hair?

"Atsuro, you go and take a look."

"Of course, I will."

Kusaji Atsuro? Recognition filled his eyes, and Sano sighs. It seems like these guys appear before Sumire one after another. He ought to hurry up before that man shows up.

"I will lead you to her."

Sano didn't want any of them near Sumire. But not only did he feel bad for Terashima, but he knew Kusaji Atsuro's reputation. He is a genius doctor. If it's him, then he should know what happened to her.

...

The examination is already finished when he brings them to her room. Sumire is sitting up while the nurse took her temperature. "You still have a high fever. Unfortunately, I don't know what the cause for the blood was."

"Do I have to stay?"

"Overnight for safety, we will run a few more tests later on."

"Okay."

"Is there anybody you would like to call?"

"Yuhi." Sumire trails off and laughs softly. "Um, my boyfriend. Is there a phone I could use?"

"I believe he is the young gentleman who carried you here. I believe he is still around--" The nurse did not get a chance to say anything since Yuhi rushed past.

"Sumire."

The girl laughs softly. "Oh, your still here. Uh, sorry. I probably caused you problems."

Sano looks over at Kusaji Atsuro, who remained silent the whole time. He wonders what this man is thinking watching this scene. He dismisses the nurse and walks over.

"How are you feeling?"

Sumire's gaze turned hostile. "This is your fault."

"Wait, did you eat.."

"I was hungry."

Sano clicked his tongue, annoyed. Even though he warned her not to eat anything? Then again, she is pregnant, so she must get food cravings. How silly of him not to prepare something for her beforehand.

"Thankfully, my little one is okay."

Yuhi was hugging Sumire protectively, so it was hard for him to get a look at her. "Yuhi quit being silly for a moment. I think the doctor needs to check something."

He looks towards Kusaji Atsuro. "Go ahead."

The silent redhead strolled over, and then he hears a slapping sound. A red mark appeared on Sumire's face. Despite Terashima's protection, Kusaji Atsuro managed to hit her.

The girl sighs. "This is what I don't like about you. Do you think violence will solve anything?"

Atsuro did not say a word.

"Since you're here, make yourself useful." She extended her arm out.

Sano watched as Kusaji sat on the stool and pulled some bottles and a syringe out of his bag.

So, this is how she is now. Since she made that business proposal, Sano silently observes her see what she will do. He observes her so he could learn more about the present her. The Ibuki Sumire now is a lot more interesting than the one in the past.

Sano wondered what had changed. Or could it be she was like this before? Whenever he looks back at the past, at the memories they shared, he can't remember anymore.

"If you want to continue that business deal, get rid of those girls."

He only brought them along to please the executives, but now he understood that it was a mistake.

Sano intended to test her but he decided against it. So when she reacted that way it surprised him.

"Very well, then I also have some conditions. When we are at my workplace, listen to me."

He warned her about the food, he did tell her if she wanted anything tell him.

Sumire slowly nodded.

"Second, you have to let me answer Yuhis calls."

At that comment Terashima looks over. "Is that why you could only text me?"

He had a good reason for that.

He had a good reason for that. But it seems like she won't listen to him right now.

"Third, and this should be the first thing. Our personal affairs have nothing to do with the business. So if you do try something funny again--" She trails off, and suddenly, a burst of coughs escaped her lips.

Yuhi pats her back; worry flashed through his eyes. Right at that moment, Atsuro injected something into the girl's arm.

"Warn me!" Sumire exclaimed.

"Then don't cough like that out of nowhere."

Sano sighs as he watches the two. Sometimes he can't tell if Sumire has grown-up or not. Sometimes she has her moments where she behaves like a child, and yet his gaze fell towards her body. Even in the hospital nightgown for patients, she looks gorgeous.

He felt a piercing gaze and realized Terashima was glaring at him.

This one is a problem. Sano thought he could get to Sumire. He thought it would be easy to have her under his control again. But it turns out that isn't the case here. She loves Terashima Yuhi, and it left a bitter taste in his mouth.

He would not openly show his jealousy, but there was no doubt he was jealous whenever he saw them together.

If, by chance, he does not get her back, what does he do with these feelings?
