Chapter 270 - Callously

Country J, Blue City Hospital…

Inside a quiet room, Davi's tears were quietly falling nonstop from her eyes. The nurses including Hinari and Haru begged her to go back to her room and rest, so she could only abide even though she didn't want to leave her son. She just wanted to stay beside him.

Davi's mind was a mess. Her lost memory had returned and she didn't know what to do. She wanted to think only about her son and think that those memories were nothing but a dream but reality wouldn't let her.

After a moment, she felt someone come inside her room and as soon as Davi turned to look at doctor standing in front of her, her eyes widened.

"M-m-mother?" She stammered, looking at the woman with eyes filled with disbelief.

The woman in front of her was indeed her biological mother, Miura Sanae, visiting her disguised as a doctor. They were separated when their car crashed ten years ago.

"Yes sweetie, it's me." The woman replied and they both embraced tightly. Davi didn't know that she was still alive.

"Mom, w-where have you been all this time? Why did you leave me?" Davi asked as tears flowed from her eyes.

"Hush, sweetie. This is not the right time. I will tell you everything but we need to leave first." Her mother said and Davi was stunned.

"W-w-what do you mean? Why do I need to leave?" She asked as she slowly pushed her away.

"Listen sweetie. Months ago, I started looking for you because someone was trying to uncover the truth about what happened to that town. And now, they seemed to have found out the truth. People will be investigating you soon because of that. You are in danger now. Both government agencies and terrorists will be coming after you. Do you understand?" She answered and Davi was shocked to the core. She suddenly felt like she couldn't breathe. She didn't want to believe what her mother was telling her.

Davi knew what she developed. No matter how much she denied it, she was the reason of the annihilation of that town.

"Mom… I have a child… I have a son… I can't jus…"

She stammered but her mother cut through her words.

"Sweetie, listen… you need to leave him."

The woman repeated and Davi violently shook her head.

"No!!" Davi yelled but her mother managed to cover her mouth.

"Listen sweetie please… I know you just gave birth. I saw my cute grandson in the cubicle. But you need to leave him. Can you imagine what will happen to both of you if the government catches you? You have to leave him if you want to let him live a normal life. Unlike us, your son has a bright future ahead of him. They will do him no harm if you leave him. He can live a normal life, one that you did not get to have and the only way for you to make that happen is to leave him." She said and endless tears flowed from Davi's eyes. Her heart was breaking. She continued to shake her head, unable to accept her mother's words and the events that were happening.

Seeing her daughter's unwillingness to accept reality, with sadness in her eyes, Sanae signaled a man dressed as a nurse and he suddenly pressed a handkerchief against her face. In no time, Davi slowly lost her strength as everything around her darkened.

…

When Davi opened her eyes, she was already inside a submarine somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. She couldn't accept what was happening at first, however, time pa.s.sed and she slowly came to understand everything.

She soon found out that she was actually the one her husband was looking for all this time. When she learned this, extreme guilt began to cloud her heart. The truth was that she was actually the reason why Sei suffered for a long time and this broke her heart over and over again. She could hardly believe it. She couldn't even begin to accept it. Her innocent husband took the blame that was supposed to be hers. She lived a normal life while he continued living in h.e.l.l, and that truth almost drove her crazy.

Until in the end, without any choice left, she could only callously force herself to believe that leaving them was the right decision. After all, she had finally fulfilled her part of the bargain. From the beginning, her mission was to give him a child and the contract stated that the child wouldn't be hers. Everything was meant to end this way, it seemed. The only problem was that they both fell in love with each other and now that things have come to this, Davi thought that it was now her turn to suffer. She would suffer living without them, as long as her dearest husband and dearest son can finally live in peace. She thought that maybe, this was meant to happen all along.
