章 47: Chapter 46

After five long hours of waiting, Saika's surgery was finally over and successful. Then they had to wait for three more hours for her to wake up.

"Awww, Saika cooed. "I wish I could give you a hug but my body feels like lead right now."

"Here, I'll give him one for you." Sora, who had been standing quietly, said, then hugged Hiro.

At first, Hiro was reluctant because he was still not on talking terms with Sora but he soon relaxed and hugged his brother back for he felt better.

"Our sister is alive today because of you, Hiro." He heard Sora whisper. "I know what you did was not easy for you and I failed you as your older brother. Despite that, I still yelled at you and said things I shouldn't have. I'm sorry Roro."

Sora's unexpected apology made Hiro cry even more. It felt like everything was finally getting better and he couldn't help shedding tears of joy. He was just so relieved. It felt like a huge burden had been taken off his shoulders.
