Chapter 616 Hostile
Yuhi fell asleep after saying those words; she left the room and quickly located so food in the kitchen. The butler made soup, and there was so bread in the fridge too. This should be enough; he needs to eat and then digest dicine.
dicine huh? Cassie recalled the dication she got from the hospital. He told her it was sothing newly developed recently but, 'If the headaches get worse, I do not think normal dicine will help you.'
Despite that vague wording, Cassie understood. It seems that doctor knows about evolved humans. He probably doesn't know she is one, but if Dr. Lawrence sent him a letter, it wouldn't be long till he finds out.
It does not seem right to let sobody she just t know about her being an evolved human. But, the words no longer being able to sing remained in her head. If she is no longer able to sing, then she will truly lose everything.
Cassie opened the dicine case. A purple-colored tablet, it looks suspicious. But Yuhi said that Nagawa Sano is a trustworthy doctor who seems to make dicine for his girlfriend too. It should be safe; it's not like she has anything to lose if she takes it now. She filled up a glass of water and quickly drank it.
She waited for a few minutes, but she didn't feel anything different. It seems to be like normal headache dicine; there is no imdiate effect. At least it doesn't seem to be anything dangerous.
Cassie placed everything onto the tray and quickly carried it upstairs. Yuhi was still sleeping soundly, but sweat clung to his face and neck.
'How did he get into this state again?' It was a stupid question. Yuhi has a bad habit of overworking himself and not resting. But because he does all of this subtly, the people around him do not notice.
She proceeded to wake him up only to hear the sound of sobody slamming the door. She turned around and saw a furious-looking Hino.
"Hino- uh-" Cassie saw his dark expression. Uh oh, he is mad.
Hino, however, didn't get angry at her right there; he took one look at Yuhi and then seed to examine the bed. Her cheeks colored, realizing why and she coughed. "Nothing happened."
Despite that, Hino seed to do a quick scan of the room before telling her to follow him out.
"I can't believe you brought him here."
"It was a coincidence-"
Hino slamd his fist against the wall. "I am warning you, Cassie. If you drag Yuhi into so pointless scandal again, I will personally take you down. Yuhi is happy right now. If you dare interfere again, you will pay the price."
'It was a coincidence that we t in the hospital.' But it was her fault for accepting his offer to drop her off. She accepted because she was afraid if they stayed around any longer, people would notice them.
But that was an excuse, wasn't it?
How could she have brought him to the place where they did it before? Indeed, it makes sense that he is angry.
"I'm sorry."
What else can she say? Before Hino could say anything, they heard the sound of his phone.
"I found him; it's like what you say he has a high fever. I'll bring him right back; you're not well yourself, so stay put until I get back."
Is he on the phone with Ibuki?
"Wait, you're already here? Hold on-" Hino's words fell short when Yuhi snatched the phone off him.
"I'll co to you; just wait."
"Hey, Yuhi, your still-"
"It's fine; it sounds like she cried." Yuhi slipped his coat on and fixed his hair with his fingers. "I don't look bad, right? Do you think she will notice?"
"She already knows." Hino sighed, "Forget it, just go to her quickly."
Yuhi nodded and took one last glance at her; he mumbled thanks before rushing off.
After a few minutes, she peeked at the window and saw Yuhi running towards Ibuki.
The girl took one look at him before she cried, and Yuhi laughed as he wiped her tears.
So that girl is Ibuki Sumire? Despite the girl wearing a cloak, she could still see the girl's brown hair and violet-colored eyes. What a unique color.
Cassie was about to close the blinds when she felt a sharp gaze look her way. Did she look at just now?
"I will warn you in advance. Sumire seems to be wary of you."
"Eh? But-"
"It's your manager's fault for not handling the rumors correctly."
Oh right, the way her manager handled the rumors made it seem ambitious.
Cassie sighed. "I'm sorry, I will handle it."
She had a lot going on before she left, so she simply left it to her manager to deal with everything. Her thoughts broke off when Hino took a step forward; she sensed the tense atmosphere and backed away.
"You're going to handle it how?"
"I'll talk to my manager and then contact the reporters myself. I'll even hold a press conference."
At those words, Hino burst into laughter and his gaze darkened.
"You still don't understand how this industry works after so many years? Your manager is the type of person who will take advantage of the rumors further and make it worse."
"That's not true; she isn't that type of person."
"No, she is. I am sure there have been suspicious incidents over the years, but she has dodged every single one. In this recent case with Yuhi, she probably said she has stopped them to the best of her ability but to be wary of Sumire."
Ah- Cassie clenched her fist. That is exactly what she said, but how would Hino know that?
Hino sighed deeply. "How can you be so gullible even now? Contacting reporters? Press conference? If you do those things and personally address the issue, then they can twist it. The more you highlight it, the more people will assu sothing is going on. They may even say that Sumire threatened you to clarify the matter."
"E-even if I don't ntion her?"
"You can't not ntion her since they are only doing this to bother her." Hino reached over and flicked her forehead. "I'll apologize for being so aggressive, but your actions frustrate ."
"No, I apologize for coming back so suddenly."
'I can't let him know that the bullying was becoming too extre.'
"Well, you had a lot going on, so it's normal."
Huh?
"I an the fact that you endured that many years of bullying-"
"Wait, wait- how do you know about that?"
"You don't know? Your manager has tried to contact Yuhi several tis in the last few years, sending ssages like please help Cas."
Her manager has? Cassie looked at him confused, and Hino flicked her forehead again.
"How many years since you debuted? Are you serious? Your manager has been trying to set you and Yuhi as a couple ever since Yuhi beca successful internationally."
