Hiro beca a little startled when he heard her. His face flushed as he felt slightly uncomfortable. He didn't know what to tell her.
So, he remained rooted at his place, hearing her rants without being able to utter a single word.
Just how was he supposed to explain that he was the son of the patient when she didn't give him any break?
It seed like he wouldn't be able to convince her. Even so, he wasn't willing to leave the room either.
For a while, she continued to scold him.
Then after a while, his mother who had awakened due to the commotion taking place in the room said, "You're here"
Ignoring the rants of the nurse before him, Hiro turned to look at his mother. Hearing her, he nodded his head as he said, "Umm..., I'm here"
Then he started walking toward her.
But the nurse who was fixated on him stood in his way as she prevented him from advancing, "Sir, I'm already being polite to you. So, why don't you understand? You have to leave the room imdiately or else I'll be forced to call security"
She said as she daringly stood before him, glaring at him. It seed like she wouldn't budge an inch.
"I appreciate your work ethic but it's alright. You don't have to stop him, he's my son," closing on the nurse from behind, his mother clarified the situation.
Upon hearing her words, the nurse froze in her place for a while. She had a stupefied look on her face. At the sa ti, Hiro also took off his mask, revealing his face.
Her face flushed as she witnessed the sight of Hiro.
She felt ashad of the fact that all along she was stopping Hiro. Words didn't co out of her mouth for a while.
Then as she got to her senses, she imdiately began to apologize, "I'm so sorry..., I wasn't expecting it to be you. I'm so sorry for talking such rudely with you"
Hiro tried to comfort her, "No.., No.., You are only doing your duty."
Despite Hiro's attempt to comfort her, she kept on apologizing for a while. It seed that she was truly troubled by the matter.
Then after a while, as she cald down, she proceeded to check on his father.
While the nurse was occupied with his father, his mother brought him outside to converse with him. There wasn't any need to bring him outside but even now, if possible she didn't want him to find out the truth regarding his father's condition.
She didn't want to worry him unnecessarily. Deep down, she did feel guilty about her actions but even so, she didn't want him to find the truth.
He was doing well. And she could tell that he would continue to perform well. But if he learns about the truth, he might lose his composure.
For sure, the truth would affect him deeply.
"You should have told that you were coming," she said as she pulled him outside.
Why was she talking in that way? It was as if she didn't want him to co here. So, upon hearing her words, he couldn't help but feel his heart tightening.
Frowning, he replied, "Aren't you happy to see ? I was really concerned about you and Father"
As soon as she heard such words from him, she rolled her eyes away as if she was afraid to look him in the eye. Then she responded in an indifferent tone, "Why wouldn't I be happy to see my son? Of course, I'm happy to see you. Still, you should have said that you would be rushing here."
Seeing her expression, Hiro started getting an unsettling feeling. It was as if she was hiding sothing from him. Hiro started feeling suspicious of his mother.
Hence, he asked while making a serious expression, "Mom, tell the truth. Is Dad alright?"
"Didn't I already tell you? He's fine and he's out of danger," she responded whilst avoiding looking in his eye.
Though she answered him calmly, sothing didn't sit right with Hiro. He could tell that she was panicking at the mont. The way she was avoiding looking him in the eye and the way she was acting right now, all seed too weird.
"You're hiding sothing, aren't you? Mom, tell the truth"
Hiro kept on insisting.
"Why would I hide anything from you? I'm telling you the truth, your father is alright"
It seed like she wouldn't tell him the truth. So, he directly rushed inside the room to find
out the truth.
"Where are you going?"
She chased him attempting to stop him.
Hiro, however, wasn't going to be persuaded. He had to find out the truth. She might have her reasons but he had the right to know the truth. So, he charged ahead.
As he entered the room, he found nothing out of place.
His father was still lying on the bed while the nurse was changing his bandages. The machine that recorded his heartbeat showed that his heart was beating normally. So, he couldn't find anything out of the ordinary.
For a mont, he even felt as if he was overreacting.
As his mother said, why would she hide anything from her?
Was he overreacting?
If so, he was relieved. But still, he felt the urge to ask the nurse to clarify his doubts.
"Excuse , Is he alright?" he asked.
From behind, his mother was shaking her head as if she was signaling the nurse to hide the matter from him.
Hiro caught the sight of her trying to mislead the nurse. Now, even if the nurse hid things from him, he was sure that sothing was indeed wrong.
So, her response didn't matter to him that much since he had already figured out the truth. There seed to be sothing wrong with his father which he wasn't aware of.
And even his mother didn't want him to find out.
But what could the matter be?
This, he couldn't be sure.
