After the whole ordeal about what Elise did to Ethan everyone just left the hospital while both Dr. Sato and Dr. Akifumi decided to visit Ethan for a bit. When they reach the room, they saw how happy Ethan is while having a somewhat fun conversation with their son ken.
"It seems to me that ken likes Ethan" said Dr. Sato
"yeah, from what I know he calls Ethan princess even though I told him that Ethan is a boy like him. For the first time your son brushed me off and just said to me that Ethan is his princess whom he will marry someday," said Dr. Akifumi to his husband while looking at the kids inside the room.
"HAHAHAHA!!! He really is my son! Hahaha"
"Yeah, He got that attitude of yours" after saying that, Dr. Akifumi opened the door and went inside. Both Ethan and ken look at them with a wide smile in which both the doctors were very proud of their son for making Ethan smile like that in front of them. It only took him a few hours, and he already made Ethan feel so much better that his health continues to improve. Last night's meeting was the good thing that they could say happened to Ethan to while he is here in their hospital.
Last night, Ethan's condition become a lot better that they had transferred him back to his private room but upon asking if he wanted to see his family, he just declined and said that he wants to rest some more. Dr. Sato understood that Ethan might want more time to think of how to face his families since it was his own sister who hurt him this time.
*knock*knock*
"who is it?" asked Ethan who is sitting in his bed while waiting for Arata's return. He asked Arata to call his grandparents (both maternal and paternal) and let them know that he is now fine. Although Ethan doesn't want to see everyone yet he knew that his grandparents are worried sick thus he asks Arata to contact them. The only thing that he was unaware of is that Arata reports to his grandpa go everything that happens to Ethan since they could not visit him.
"uhmnn…Hi! Am I disturbing you?" asked ken who came to visit Ethan. Ken asked his parents if he could visit Ethan today after he is done with all of his homework. And after getting an ok from both of them he went straight to Ethan's room after he finishes all of his homework.
"uhmnn…no, but who are you?" asked Ethan who has no idea who ken is.
"ah! my name is Sato Ken! Both my mom and dad are your doctors."
"are you the son of Dr. Sato and Dr. Akifumi?"
"yup! Do you mind if I accompany you? You think that you are already bored being alone in this big room" ken wanted to get Ethan's permission first before he go all out.
"hehe how did you know that I'm bored?" asked Ethan after he giggles as he was really bored but since he can't move and don't have anybody to talk to that he became extremely bored.
"well…majority of the patients in the hospital will get bored lying and sitting only at their bed and you are currently a patient so you are now bored, right?"
"hehehe busted…my name is Aoki Ethan, nice to meet you ken, you can sit down near me and accompany me out of my boredom hehehe" said Ethan who is now smiling.
"gladly princess!" joyfully said by ken as he deliberately say the word princess.
"princess? I'm a boy if you don't know" Ethan wonders why ken would suddenly call him that since he is not even a girl to begin with.
"well, you may not be a girl, but my princess doesn't need to be a girl, you just need to stay beautiful inside and out ok?" said ken.
"hehehe are you going to continue calling me princess even when I get old?" asked Ethan finding it cute that ken has that kind of mindset.
"hehehe we'll see about that," said ken who knew in his heart that he want Ethan to be with him forever. He can't shake off the feeling that he wanted to keep Ethan to himself no matter what happens but it is still too soon for that. For now they could just start being friends before anything else.
From then on, ken started to visit Ethan almost every day after he finishes all of his homework and sometimes he would do his homework at Ethan's room while Ethan also does his own homework since he can't go to school thus he just asks Arata to get his homework at the school. The two of them became best friends who promise to each other that they would became the best doctor of the country if possible. When ken got to know that Ethan wanted to be like his mother, he started to borrow some medical books from his parents and his grandfather who is the actual owner of the hospital. Also after three days, almost everyone of Ethan's family visited him and were all glad that he was recovering well, Elise also apologize for what she did to him. Everything went well since then, Ethan was discharge and went on with his life but ever since he got to know ken, he started to visit him at their home or ken would be the one to visit Ethan.

9 years later
Ethan is now on his third year of college and both he and ken went on the same medical university. The both of them had been labeled as the genius prince of their departments. Ethan was taking the major of a pediatric surgeon, since not so many are taking them that is why he got classes in both pediatric majors as well as the general surgeon majors. One of the doctors in ken's family hospital had the same major that Ethan was taking that is why whenever possible he would teach Ethan all the things that he knows. And since he was not labeled as a genius prince for nothing, he was able to pass his exams and became an apprentice at such a young age of the same doctor. He might have not graduated yet, but a lot of hospitals have heard of his name and wanted him to be a doctor of their hospital as well. But he wanted to be a doctor at ken's family hospital only but since ken's grandfather was such a good man who is also friends with some of the hospital that wanted Ethan, he asked Ethan if he could be of some help to one or two of the other hospital. Ethan agreed to it thinking that he could learn more just by being associated to other doctors who are already a senior in their fields. He then became an intern in those hospitals and would sometimes assist during surgeries. Ken on the other had become his boyfriend, and they are now going out for two years now. They might have not bonded yet, but the two of them have gone all the way already and it was a great help for Ethan during his heat periods. Ken made a promise that he will only have his eyes on Ethan, that he would never cheat on him and if possible he would love Ethan to be his bonded omega.
