“Yes, Dr Hirono, I thought about it and want to give it a try and it’s not like I have any other option left, as I don’t want the children under my care to suffer because of me, so long there is a hope, I have to try it for their sake.” Ms Tennoin replied with a clear look on her face and she is determined to go through the trial.

.....

“Thank you, Ms Tennoin for believing in us as you know this medical trial is very important for us.” Dr Hirono felt relief that the patient agreed so he thanked her for this opportunity.

“No..no, I should thank you for giving me hope!” Ms Tennoin shook her head in denial and replied that she is grateful for their help.

As she knows full well that in her second stage if nothing is done then the terminal illness will progress into the third stage anytime soon.

The operation money is too much for her to bear and she doesn’t even have any relatives to ask for help in this matter.

She is just a caretaker of a medium-size orphanage, Airen Orphanage. With a few dozen children dependent on it, the resources of the orphanage are provided by the kids who went out and joined society after becoming adults.

So the orphanage barely hanging on to it, Ms Tennoin Kannaji, had organised some charity auctions with her connections so she can be said to be the pillar for the orphanage.

So after she collapsed from illness and found out about the second stage of terminal illness, she was having mental stress and regrets so after hearing about the miraculous elixir having a medical trial and they were looking for the volunteer, she, without a second thought registered her name on the list and fortunately, she was chosen to be the first candidate.

Dr Hirono came to her and asked her to finalise her decision as they needed the proper procedure by signing her name on paper so the hospital won’t take the blame for any mishaps on trial but the hospital will provide proper compensation.

After Dr Hirono explains to Ms Tennoin how they will proceed with the treatment and how they have to keep her in the observation period for quite a few days after the treatment.

Then Dr Hirono informed her that they will proceed with the treatment from tomorrow so she should be ready for it.

After that Dr Hirono took his leave and Ms Tennoin again thanked him for the help.

In the evening time,

Ikigai Restaurant,

*broom!!*

*screech!!*

The black luminous Kartel sports car parked in front of the restaurant and two people walked out of the car.

A handsome man and otherworldly gorgeous beauty came into view, then the beauty hugged the arm of the man and they walked into the restaurant.

“Hey, buddy! Who are they.” The guy standing with the pedestrian asked the guard who was about to drive and park the car in the parking space.

“Hmmn! Are you new here?” Guard didn’t answer but he asked in return with a surprised expression.

“Ummn! yes, I came to register for membership as one of my friends recommended it here and said that the food here tastes heavenly.” The guy answered honestly, not able to guess why the guard was asking him that.

“Ohh! That’s why you don’t know, he is our young master as this restaurant belongs to his father.” When the guard introduced the handsome man from before to the guy standing in front of him, he had deep admiration in his eyes.

“Ahh! Then who was the beauty with the young master, and it’s the first time I have seen such a beauty. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to witness clearly and only saw obscure images of her but even that mesmerised me.” The guy finally asked what he wanted to know after going in circles for a while with a love-struck expression.

“Shhhhh! Don’t talk loudly like that or are you trying to get us killed?” The guard hurriedly gestured towards him to talk silently about her with a slight twitch in his forehead and sweat on his back.

“Wha..what!” The guy felt something wrong with the guard’s tone so he shut up and asked with apprehension.

“You don’t know but I know very well what might have happened with you, dying would be a luxury to you if they heard you!” Guard gulped down a mouthful of saliva feeling the cold sweat on his back.

The guy also gulped down hearing and looking at the guard’s complexion.

“She is our young master’s best friend and he is very protective of her. There was an ignorant flippant third-generation brat who got into an argument with a young master friend and he said something which the young master didn’t find very pleasing so he held that flippant by the throat and threw him in the garbage, and nothing else happened after that!” Guard explained then stopped for a moment remembering some very unpleasant information.

“What! That’s it, I thought he would do something more drastic but that was too little.” The guy felt disappointed with the story as there was too little spice in it.

“Hmmn, that’s what all of us thought that time but,” Guard looked at him in pity, wondering if they had the same thought that time.

“But...what happened,” he felt the story had more spice in it so he urged the guard to go on.

“Next day, we heard the news that the flippant brat got hospitalised with multiple fractures all over his body and he was in a coma,” Guard said with an incredulous expression.

“What? How?” The guy also felt amazed by the ending and felt very curious as to how this is possible.

“Well, the brat was very unlucky after meeting with our young master that he got into the accident after he ran away from our young master so, in a way to his home, he fell from his car and rolled away from there and struck some stones in the middle of his rolling when he came to stop, his head struck squarely on the very rough looking stone with sharp edges so he fell into a coma after the head injuries or that’s what report says.” Guard described the poor brat’s history as to how he got himself into a coma.

“Ohh! That’s very pitiful and thanks for the warning as I don’t want myself in that kind of condition as I like my healthy body very much, hahaha!” The guy showed pity for that brat and then thanked the guard for giving him the warning. Then he laughingly patted the guard’s shoulder and entered the lobby and went directly to the main counter.

The guy is not some random mob but he deliberately came here as he is an investigator and after two weeks of continuous work he got the main lead.

That male lead is the young master, who just entered the restaurant.

Why he is searching for him and who hired him will only be known in due time.
