Her confession was replied to by another one of his own.
Yuina opened her eyes and blinked them a few times. Her shock turned into a daze as she couldn't believe what she had heard.
"What do you..."
Her voice quietened down. The continuous beating of his heart pulled her away from her trance. It sounded so loud, so anxious.
Ryuu tightened his arms around his wife. He inhaled her scent, feeling the warmth of her body, something that he desired from her.
Was it his imagination or had his wife had truly slimmed down right now?
Was it due to her ongoing distress?
A pang of regret stabbed into his heart, sucking his blood out.
"I knew that you've taken the pills... Please, don't feel sorry, my wife."
His voice was shaky as Ryuu muttered out those words.
Stunned, Yuina pushed Ryuu's chest but he barely budged. He kept holding her as if he was afraid she would slip away from him.
"Ryuu... How, how did you..."
