Chapter 6 - Chapter 6. An Accident

At that time, Yuki who was trying to save himself, ran and found it in a trash can, so the killers couldn't find him.

So, Yuki was sad when he saw his sketchbook, because he didn't want to forget all the memories of his father and mother. He still wants to remember his mother's beautiful face and his father's handsome face. Yuki would never forget the two of them forever.

"Yuki doesn't want to forget the faces of okaasan and otousan. Is it better for Yuki to buy a sketchbook again, huh? However, Yuki's money was only left for a week's meal. Ah it's okay, okaasan and otousan are more important than just eating," Yuki muttered, who immediately got up from her seat and went home.

But as he was running along the sidewalk, Yuki saw a woman's figure in the middle of having trouble carrying groceries while crossing the street. At the same time, Yuki also noticed that a large truck was speeding towards the woman.

"Auntie watch out!" Yuki shouted who immediately ran fast and slightly pushed the woman's body away from the direction of the speeding truck.

The woman's body fell from Yuki's push. But bad luck befell him, Yuki's tiny body, bounced several kilometers when the big truck hit him hard enough.

"Oh my God!" screamed the woman who fell down earlier in a shrill voice when she saw Yuki who was lying helplessly on the asphalt. Suddenly, she immediately approached Yuki who was already unconscious. Not only her, the people who saw suddenly gathered around to see Yuki's current condition.

"H-hello," the woman called someone with shaking violently hands.

"What is it ma'am?" Ask someone on the other side.

"P-please come here Alva," replied the woman with a face that looked really panicked.

"Where?" Ask the person called 'Alva'.

"In front of the Swanless cake shop," the woman replied and immediately hung up.

"I-I'm sorry," the woman mumbled as she touched Yuki's face which was now covered in fresh blood flowing from her forehead which looked injured or maybe leaking.

"Should we take him to the hospital now, ma'am?" Asked one who saw the hit and run incident.

"I-I don't bring my car, but my son will be here soon," the woman replied with tears falling from her eyes. Really, she really felt guilty now.

***

Only 5 minutes later, the person who was called by the woman finally came. With a panicked face he thought that it was his mother who had been injured or something. But when he saw the figure of a tiny man in his mother's arms, he suddenly remembered—

"Yuki?!" his surprise which of course made his mother surprised too.

"H-help him Alva, let's take him to the hospital immediately," said the mother who was more concerned with Yuki's current condition.

"..." Without saying anything else, Alva immediately took Yuki's body from his mother's arms and carried him into the car.

Finally, Alva took Yuki to the nearest hospital and his mother accompanied him. On the way, the atmosphere seemed quiet. Alva drove his car at a high enough speed to prevent Yuki's blood loss.

***

Arriving at a hospital, Yuki was immediately taken to the emergency room. While Alva and his mother were waiting in front of the room. Both of them seemed to show their worried expression. And finally, the door to the room was opened, revealing the figure of a doctor who was treating Yuki.

"How is the patient's condition, doctor?" asked Alva's mom who took over. Because, of course she knew that her son doesn't like to talk much.

"The patient's condition is quite bad. Not because of his fatal injury, but because of his weak bodily functions. The patient was severely malnourished and often skipped meals which resulted in stomach ulcers. And because of this not-so-fatal injury, the wound in the stomach was getting worse. Patients, can not recover completely. Maybe after this, he will often feel sore in his stomach. He got quite hard hit in his head. As a side effect of this, the patient will sometimes feel dizzy in the head," the doctor described with a long explanation.

"B-but can we see the patient, doc?" Alva's mother asked the doctor with an increasingly worried look on her face.

"The patient will be immediately transferred to the recovery room. After that, then you can visit the patient, "the doctor replied.

"Okay doctor, thank you," replied Alva's mother.

"But first, can you come with me for a bit?" the doctor interrupted.

"Ah ok doc," said Alva's mother approved.

"Then come with me."

"Alva, mommy stay for a while okay. Please take care of him while Mom is gone," said Alva's mother to the child. After that, the two adults left Alva alone.

***

Currently, Alva is in the recovery room. He sat right beside the hospital gurney to wait for Yuki to wake up.

"Wake up," Alva muttered softly while stroking Yuki's strands of hair that were hanging down heavily back so as not to block the cute and beautiful face.

"...." There was no reply from the little boy. Alva, staring straight at Yuki's face with his usual flat gaze.

"Eunghh...." Yuki groaned with his fingers flicking.

"...." Alva didn't respond to Yuki's moans. He was still glued to that beautiful face.

"Hhh… Nii-chan?" Yuki asked when his blurred sight caught the familiar figure of a man. Alva flinched at the soft voice. Suddenly, he immediately woke up from his daydream and looked at Yuki as usual.

"Hmm," replied Alva casually.

"Y-Yuki where am I? Why does it feel so strange?" Yuki asked with his brows furrowed, a sign he was deep in thought.

"At the hospital," Alva answered honestly.

"W-why is Yuki here Nii-chan?" asked Yuki frantically as he didn't remember what had happened to him.

"Get hit," Alva replied curtly, concisely and clearly.

"A-ah...."

Cklek…!!

"Oh, you're awake? Alva, why didn't you tell mama?" said Alva's mother who had just entered the room together with a figure of man in a suit who looked very dignified. Who else but Alva's father.

"New," Alva replied nonchalantly. But of course he's not lying, is he?

"I see, hello… your name is Yuki right?" asked Alva's mother to Yuki who looked at her with a frown on her forehead in confusion.

"Aunt who are you? How do you know Yuki's name?" asked Yuki who was confused. Actually, who is the woman in front of him right now?—Yuki thought.
