Chapter 77: Got It Wrong

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.

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

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