Words I was Afraid to Hear 173 Need To Live On

After narrating up to the point that she thought Masaichi was dead, Agatha Yang was crying nonstop.

Masaichi handed her some tissues, then got up to fetch some water.

Xiu Jin's expression softened a little, but his wife and daughter remained cold.

Just when Masaichi returned from the kitchen with a glass of water, his sister cleared her throat.

"Manta told us that before you left for City S that afternoon, that you are having another baby, and that you will be surprising Masnii with this information. Did you lie to your own child?" The way Midori emphasized the last sentence was too heavy and accusing.

Masaichi was also shocked. He had totally forgotten to ask his wife about this. He too preoccupied in making her stay that he forgot to confirm this detail.

Midori smirked. "Seems like you have yet to tell my brother about it."

Agatha gasped. She looked at her husband who was anticipating her answer.

She lowered her head. "There was a baby..." her voice was cracking. "After the incident, I thought that I could live on because the baby inside me needed to live on. However, when I went for a prenatal consult...there...there was no heartbeat anymore." Tears started to stream down her face again.

Masaichi embraced his wife. It was painful when his son told him about it, but it was even more painful when he heard it from his wife.

She was alone when she mourned. No one cared about how she felt.

Everybody thought she was dead.

"So why come out now? Do you not value your family's lives anymore?" Aoi Xiu had a sly smile. She was still suspicious of Agatha's comeback.

Agatha pursed her lips. Everybody was silent in anticipation.

"I...they...I did it for my brother...but they..." she could not continue.

Masaichi looked at his parents. "She was always the one to sacrifice for the said brother because she is not even their daughter in the first place."

Midori's eyes shook.

Aoi frowned deeper.

Xiu Jin sighed. "So they ruined your life so their son could live...people nowadays."

Aoi glanced at her husband. He of all people knows how emotions could make people do despicable things.

"I..." Agatha managed to speak again. "When they told me the truth as I became useless to them, I decided to take my life back...or at least what was left of it. I miss my son. Before I have known that Maskun is still alive, Mantkun is the only reason I managed to live on."

"Masaichi, when are you telling your son?"

"I tasked Takagi Ryuuji to bring him here. There are currently in our private plane." Masaichi declared.

Dan, from having a neutral face, frowned at the mention of his rival.

"Wait. Mom, Dad, where is Dmitri?" Midori suddenly remembered that her son should be with her parents.

"Give your Aunty Lan a chance to play with him." Aoi said.

"Oh yeah...she had not met Dmitri...well, until now." Midori touched her ear as she smiled. It was a shame that she did not personally hand her child to her aunt who raised her.

Dan's brows lifted as he remembered the old lady who stays in the Xiu estate.

"Oh! If Mantarou is on his way, we should get Xiu Lan to come over with the baby too!" There was clear excitement in Xiu Jin's voice.

The heavy atmosphere seemed to have been lifted just like that.

Xiu Jin and Masaichi made phone calls on their own.

Midori walked into the kitchen to rummage the fridge, with her husband trailing behind.

Aoi and Agatha were left in the living room.

"Tell me, who was the donor of your brother?"

The interrogation is not finished just yet.
