That night, Midori noted that her husband did not make his usual evening call. The following morning, her brother arrived.
Since she was informed that he will be coming, she wore loose-fitting clothes to hide her small bump.
Aoi Xiu will not say anything about her daughter's pregnancy. For her, it would be Midori's decision. At the same time, it would also be her fault. After all, it is between siblings.
Midori kept on dialling Dan when her brother excused himself to play with Manta at the lanai. When she finally got through, Dan's voice was hoarse.
"Hello?"
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Did you catch a cold?"
On the other side, Dan realized that he had not called her the night before.
"Sorry for not calling you last night, Darling. I'm still at the hospital."
"Hospital?!" Midori's voice was full of worry.
"Hey, it's not me. It's..." he stopped himself. He deliberated for awhile how much to disclose.
