Spring Blooms When I'm With You 167 The Truth Revealed By The Test Results

"Yes," answered Ren. After taking his coat and wallet, he immediately stormed out of the office. "Tos.h.i.+ro and Akas.h.i.+ want to meet me. They said it's something about their new game. I'm sorry I couldn't have dinner with you tonight."

"It's okay, dear," Tsubaki replied softly. She didn't mind it since he had spent his time with her this afternoon. "Don't drink too much. Hibiki would drive you, right? I'll prepare a hangover soup for you tonight."

"Thanks, sweetheart," Ren smiled, touched by her efforts in taking care of his well-being. "You're heading home with Kaede now, right?"

Tsubaki finally agreed when Ren suggested to let Kaede drove her whenever she wanted to go somewhere else. Even though Tsubaki still preferred riding the public vehicles but since Kaede started to guard her, she would always receive curious stares from people so she just agreed with Ren's suggestion.

"Yes~ I'd reach home soon. It's still raining. Please dress warmly," Tsubaki insisted to give her husband another gentle reminder. Even with a thick cardigan protecting her, she still felt the chill.

"That's okay," Ren replied with a hint of mischief in his voice. "Once I get back, you could help to warm me."

Tsubaki was speechless. She immediately hung up the call without even replying to him.

Ren chuckled lowly, amused with his wife's antics. He stared at the phone screen, looking at the wallpaper of her smiling sweetly to him. He walked pa.s.sed his employees who were still couldn't get used to seeing their Big Boss with a fond smile on his handsome face.

But, the smile faded once he stepped into the elevator.

"Master, we're going to Spring Garden Hotel?" Hibiki asked for confirmation as he was adjusting the rear-view mirror in the car.

"En."

Hibiki didn't ask any further. He immediately drove the car to exit the bas.e.m.e.nt of Fuse Corporation.

It was already time to knock off work. The streets were bustling with pa.s.sers-by holding umbrellas in their hands and vehicles moving slowly on the road. As summer approached, rainy days came frequently than usual. Ren threw his gaze outside of the car window, looking at the people on the streets.

Tos.h.i.+ro said he had finally got the results for the DNA tests. He wanted Ren to check them by himself so he refrained from unsealing the doc.u.ments. In a haste, Ren immediately pushed back all the remaining works and asked Tos.h.i.+ro and Akas.h.i.+ to meet him at his suite in Spring Garden Hotel.

After the disgusting event involving Miss Ieda at Imperial Leisure Club, he chose to avoid the hotel.

Ren dismissed Hibiki once they reached the hotel. The special a.s.sistant would come to pick him up at a later time. Ren instantly went to his suite. Afraid of being disturbed by unwanted guests, he instructed his bodyguards to only let Tos.h.i.+ro and Akas.h.i.+ entered. The two guys were still in Akas.h.i.+'s car. The slow traffic hindered their journey from the hospital.

After almost 10 minutes he waited, both of them finally arrived, quite drenched due to the rain. Tos.h.i.+ro and Akas.h.i.+ took off their jackets and hung them on the coat stand. They silently stared at Ren who was facing the windows overlooking the city. They walked over to him.

"h.e.l.lo? Are you here?" Akas.h.i.+ waved one of his hands in front of Ren's face.

Ren slowly turned his gaze to his friend. Akas.h.i.+ could feel his cheery mood dissipated as he looked at the dimmed eyes of the man before him.

"Instead of distressing yourself like this, it's better if you unsealed these envelopes as soon as possible," said Tos.h.i.+ro heavily as he took out two white envelopes from his briefcase.

Ren took the envelopes from Tos.h.i.+ro's hands. His movement was stiff as if he was forcing himself to take the envelopes. The big, white envelopes felt heavy in his hands. His eyes focused on the logo of the National Genome Inst.i.tute of the country. Tos.h.i.+ro had used his connection in order to maintain absolute secrecy.

After waiting for a few days, the results had finally reached him.

Ren fleetingly looked at Tos.h.i.+ro, "You really didn't see the results?"

Tos.h.i.+ro immediately shook his head. "I don't have the right. You're supposed to be the first one to see them."

Ren closed his eyes. His heart felt suffocated. It was really hard to breathe. He admitted that he was scared of the two pieces of envelopes in his hands. Whatever printed on the papers, they might change the course of life of the dearest person in his heart.

"Do you... want us to give you privacy?" Akas.h.i.+ suggested after noticing how sullen his friend had looked like now.

"No," Ren replied. He slowly opened his eyes. The fear in his eyes had vanished. He determinedly stared at the papers. "Let's get this over with."

Tos.h.i.+ro and Akas.h.i.+ glanced at each other. They nodded silently.

Ren knew nothing could be achieved if he remained hesitant in this case. He needed to resolute himself. His right hand firmly tore the seal of the first envelope. Tsubaki's and Kouichi's names were printed on the paper.

His eyes carefully scanned the contents of the above before they moved to the numbers and conclusion at the end of the paper.

His pupils dilated.

Without saying anything to Tos.h.i.+ro and Akas.h.i.+ who were watching him, Ren immediately tore the next envelope. His fingers shook, almost tearing the paper inside the envelope. He didn't bother to read the contents, his eyes immediately laid on the numbers and the conclusion of the second paper.

The papers fell from his hands. His shoulders slumped as his eyes grew distant.

"Ren?" Akas.h.i.+ patted Ren's shoulder but he received no reaction from him.

Tos.h.i.+ro's brows knitted together. By seeing Ren's reaction after looking at the results, he knew what they were afraid of had become a reality. Tos.h.i.+ro bent down, he picked the papers from the floors.

"What are the results?" Akas.h.i.+ looked at Tos.h.i.+ro's grim face.

Tos.h.i.+ro sighed heavily. He spoke, "Tsubaki is related to Nagao Kouichi and... she doesn't have any match with her brother."

Akas.h.i.+ was stupefied. After a moment, he regained his sense. He quickly took the papers from Tos.h.i.+ro. Tos.h.i.+ro just let him be. He eyed Ren who was still unresponsive.

"Wait!" Akas.h.i.+ cried out once he read the results. "Why did the result for Tsubaki and Nagao Kouichi indicate that they could be mother and child? Are they really..."

It was 99.9% related! While the other report was 0.00%!

"It's possible if Tsubaki and Miss Hinata were identical twins," Tos.h.i.+ro quickly jumped in before Akas.h.i.+ made a wild guess. "It's not like we researched their DNA sequences. If we did a deeper genome test instead of the usual DNA ones, we could find the difference of the DNA sequences between Tsubaki and Nagao Kouchi."

"Then..." Akas.h.i.+ was at a loss of words. He sneaked a glance at Ren.

Ren closed his eyes, the words he spoke next sent chills to their spines. "This means that the mastermind has already known the birth secret of Tsubaki and Miss Hinata."

And how did that man know? Ren understood it'd take more efforts to uncover it.
