Chapter 404: 116. The Last Straw_3

It was such three inconspicuous details that, accumulating into a butterfly effect, directly triggered a massive storm.

But now, it’s too late to say anything.

Because Yan Huan had already seen what she had done.

"...What should I do... No, I can’t go to school anymore..."

Sakuragi Hitomi covered her head with utmost fear, her whole body seemed out of breath, her complexion turning deathly pale.

Just like a rat being dragged out of the sewer, just like a vampire facing the sunlight.

Death by exposure!

That feeling of being scorched by the light as if baring her dark soul, made her feel a pain too intense to bear.

"Or maybe... transfer to another school in Lin Gate... If worse comes to worst, go back to my country... have my brothers bring me home to hide for a while..."

Nara, seeing Sakuragi Hitomi before her breathing in more than out, knew she was on the verge of collapse.

Sakuragi Hitomi had always been frail, and at this rate, it looked like something bad was going to happen.

Nara quickly picked up the cellphone that had fallen to the ground, looking at Yan Huan on the screen who, having sent Spencer off, sat alone on the seat.

The class bell had already rung, yet he still didn’t leave.

Instead, a message came through from plane:

"Sakuragi, are you not coming to school today?"

Looking at the phone screen, Nara clenched her teeth, grasped Sakuragi Hitomi’s chin firmly, raised her bowed head to look at him,

"Sakuragi Hitomi, calm down!!"

"How can I calm down, everything is over... Just yesterday... the President even gave me a gift yesterday and we made plans to see the sea together... I..."

"Not yet over!!"

Nara picked up the phone, turned it toward Sakuragi Hitomi, pointed at Yan Huan on the screen and said,

"He saw what you did, didn’t leave nor question you, instead he’s asking when you’re coming to school!! Isn’t this an opportunity?!

"Like I said before: Do you plan to live with him wearing a mask forever? Yes, tearing off the mask hurts, but are you just going to starve because of a choking hazard?

"This is an opportunity and a test given by fate, pull yourself together and go clear things up with him!!"

Nara pinched Sakuragi Hitomi’s face closer to her, pressing her forehead against hers.

As expected, her body temperature had alarmingly dropped.

The warmth from Nara’s forehead gradually transferred over, and simultaneously, Nara articulated each word,

"Even if you have to start all over, what’s wrong with beginning a new relationship with him?

"You’re still so young, is it about seizing the moment, or a lifetime? Think about it yourself!"

Sakuragi Hitomi looked up at Nara in pain, involuntarily shaking her head, wanting to say "I can’t do it".

But Nara kept pressing her head firmly, speaking to her word by word,

"You decide, do you want to run away in defeat and regret your whole life, or face him directly?"

"..."

Sakuragi Hitomi bit her lip, still very scared, not wanting to face it.

But then, she suddenly remembered that she had the Barrier.

This thought seemed to grant her enormous courage.

So, after remaining silent for a good while, she finally gritted her teeth and said,

"I... I’m going to school, to see the President..."

"That’s more li..."

But right after letting go of Sakuragi Hitomi, Nara saw her clutching her stomach in distress.

She dry-heaved a few times with evident discomfort, startling Nara, who quickly grabbed a vomit bag and offered it to her.

"Ugh..."

Sakuragi Hitomi’s face was ghostly pale as she clutched the vomit bag, expelling what little breakfast she had.

"..."

Nara felt somewhat helpless, as his phone began ringing insistently.

Sakuragi Hitomi’s condition was truly fragile. Normally stable in emotions, the severe shock had completely destabilized her.

She couldn’t even pull along her delicately frail sister without feeling out of breath just from tiptoeing...

Sakuragi Hitomi was a premature baby, always frail since childhood, and her development was not very good.

Compared with her tall brothers, her petite stature stood out as out of place, so naturally, they took extra care of her.

Coming to Lin Gate alone had already been a big obstacle, and they provided her with a specialized security, medical, and dietary team.

Sakuragi Hitomi also wore the kind of health alarm bracelet that Spencer wore.

"Tsk, no other way, your health alarm has gone off. The doctor nearby will be here in a few minutes, probably to take you to the hospital."

Nara took the vomit bag, stepping back with a sense of helplessness.

True to expectations, the next second, the voice came through the Bluetooth earpiece,

"Nara, are you with the young miss?"

"Yes."

"What’s the state of the young miss?"

"Physical condition is poor, irregular heartbeat, accompanied by symptoms of fainting, palpitation and other adverse reactions."

"Understood, arriving at the location within five minutes."

"..."

Nara hung up the phone and looked at Sakuragi Hitomi struggling to breathe, who raising her eyes to look at him, said,

"Take me to the academy, Nara."

"..."

Nara rubbed his hair irritably, silent for a second, then suddenly, he slammed the rear door shut.

"Click."

He opened the driver’s seat, fastened his seatbelt, and spoke,

"Fine, I’ll risk it with you. Sit tight, we’re heading out."

The next second, the black car fiercely sprinted towards the direction of Yuanyue Academy.

"Vroom!"

...

...

As time ticked by second by second, Yan Huan, propping up his chin, flipped through the pages of his notebook, thoroughly reviewing each and every photo along with the annotations behind them.
