Chapter 66 - Powerful Pillar
As if seeing a spirit walking by, Davi and Sei remained silent for a long time.
The girl finally moved first. She scratched her neck as she smiled at him awkwardly.
She didn"t know why she said those words, but she did and she couldnt take them back so she decided to move on right away and try doing it instead. Besides, it had really been too long since her husband was within her reach like this. She would grab every chance she had to make up for the lost days when he was away.
"Shall we sit?" she asked as if she was an olden day gentleman and the man just nodded like the most obedient, graceful, cold G.o.ddess.
However, before Davi could turn and walk towards the dining table, the cellphone in her pocket suddenly rang. The two of them stared at each other before she answered the call in front of him.
"h.e.l.lo?"
"h.e.l.lo? Are you Haru Mizuri"s kin?"
The moment Davi heard her little brother"s name, her heartbeat instantly fell into chaos and the smile on her face faded. Fear and worry immediately reflected across her eyes as she gripped her phone tightly, stammering as she replied.
"Y-yes, I am his sister, m-may I help you?"
"Ms. Mizuri, your brother has been rushed to the hospital---"
As soon as she heard the voice saying her brother was rushed to the hospital, Davi"s brain turned blank and the phone fell from her hand.
Thankfully, Sei who was watching her the whole time, managed to catch the phone. He looked at the girl, who had just been smiling brightly, turn into a lifeless white sheet, before he answered the phone himself.
"Which hospital?" he asked and as soon as he heard the answer, he ended the call as he dialed another number on his own cellphone.
"Zaki, get the car. Now." His voice was serious as his eyes were focused on the helpless girl in front of him. It was the first time he saw her like this. The fear in her eyes were even greater than her fear of ghosts. Her eyes, which usually emitted such an overwhelming determination and fighting spirit, were like stars that instantly lost their sparkle. That moment, the brave and cheerful girl finally revealed her Achilles heel right before his eyes.
Sei"s fist clenched for a while before he held her hand. Their palms just embraced warmly and he held her hand as gently as ever. That very moment, as soon as Davi felt his warmth, she lifted her head, as if his hand was an energy ball that instantly sent life into her eyes.
The man spoke no words but Davi strangely felt as if he was silently telling her "don"t worry, he"ll be fine". As if he said the words out loud, Davi nodded in response, which stunned the man for a while before they finally rushed towards the door.
They got into the car without letting go of each other"s hand. As the car sped through the city towards the hospital, n.o.body said a word. Davi"s eyes were filled with worry but the warm hand she was holding onto was like a powerful pillar lifting her up, as if telling her she would never fall again as long as she didn"t let go.
