After a series of tests and repeated examination of his neurologic and cognitive functions, Masaichi Xiu underwent decannulation.

After the otorhinolaryngologist finished applying the dressing to cover the stoma and instructing how to speak and cough, the patient was left and the family was allowed to go in.

Aoi Xiu began to cry again. "Masa-kun, oh my son..." she could not finish what she wants to say. She hugged him tight as her tears poured out.

After being released from the embrace, Masaichi pressed on the gauze on his neck and spoke, "O-okaasan..." He then had a gentle smile.

Suddenly, a little voice was heard. "Yes! I get to see Otousan wake up!"

Manta was talking to his nanny as he walked into the room.

Masaichi started crying as his little boy joyfully climbed onto him.

"Tousan!" Manta gave his father a warm hug. "You're awake, Tousan! Yey!"

Masaichi looked back at those hazel eyes staring at him. He asked, but the question was directed more on his mother, "Where's..."

Aoi could not bare to look at him at this moment.

"Oh yeah! Tousan, I have something for you!" Manta went down from the bed and ran towards his nanny who was carrying his bear-shaped bag.

Masaichi concluded that Agatha did not survive the incident. He looked at his son as he cried. Manta still had his chubby cheeks and hands, but he had grown taller.

As he was reminiscing about his wife, he suddenly heard his son blurt out, "Mommy!"

A man in an all black suit made steady steps towards the study of a mansion. Behind the desk sat a middle aged woman with thin, straight brows, dark brown eyes, tall nose, and thin rouged lips.

"Ms. Wong, our hospital staff reported that Young Master Xiu has awaken."

The dark eyes squinted subtly. "Can he walk?"

"It would be some time before he could."

"We'll let them be happy for now." A sinister smile flashed on her fair face that was regularly treated with botox, so there was not much change in it.

A knock on the door was heard. The woman nodded on the man, who opened the door.

"Madam, Chairman Song is here to see you."

The woman stood up from the swivel chair and strode all the way to the sitting room.

Chairman Song stood up to greet her. "Madam Ming."

Midori sprinted along the hallways and bolted through the door to the intensive care private room despite being in heels.

As her eyes landed on the patient's bed, they were instantly filled with tears.

"Niisan!" She ran to embrace him.

Masaichi's face which was initially filled with joy when his son called out 'Mommy' to someone at the door turned into confusion. He is currently embracing his sister, not his wife. Was he having an illusion?

When she pulled out from the embrace, he called her, "Midori..."

She smiled brightly and laughed with tears streaming down her cheeks. "Yes!" Never had she been that happy that someone recognized her.

On the other hand, Masaichi kept on looking towards the door, as if waiting for someone else to come in.

Midori noticed this. "Niisan, are you looking for something?" She also stretched her neck, trying to follow his gaze.

Aoi Xiu also had a look of concern and looked over at the same direction.

He pressed on his gauze. "Just now, Manta called out 'Mommy' so..."

Aoi and her daughter exchanged painful looks.

Manta innocently walked back to his father, holding a piece of paper. "Tousan, gomen ne (1)..." Then he turned and pulled on Midori's blouse. "Mommy, I'm sorry. I think Otousan got it wrong." His little face became a frown which was threatening to cry.
