I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband

Chapter 519 - The only way

Back in the study room, the atmosphere increasingly became gloomy.

Davi had suggested a plan, that she would team up with the scientists and doctors behind Juu and Kyuu’s treatment.

After their serious talk, Davi and Sei were left inside the room. Sei’s expression became even gloomier as soon as Yu Chen left. He hugged his wife from behind as he rested his face on her shoulder.

Sei was worried and torn. His wife was pregnant. He wanted her to just stay home and be safe but Zaki needed her.

Davi understood why her husband was wearing such a face. She knew that he was torn whether he would let her go or not. She knew that Zaki was a very important person to Sei so even though he was not saying a thing, Davi could already tell what was behind his silence.

"It’s okay Sei, I’ll be fine." Davi lifted her hand and ran her fingers through his hair. "When I was pregnant with Little Shin, I was studying that time. There’s no big difference from that time and now actually. My work is almost the same as studying so you don’t have to worry. Our baby will be fine. I assure you that." she assured him and the man took a deep breath.

"Mn... I understand. I’m just worried that you will overwork yourself while you’re there." He replied, his voice still downhearted.

Davi turned and cupped his face. "Darling, I’m not going to overwork myself. I will never do anything that could harm our baby so cheer up now, okay?" she smiled at him, trying her best to brightened the man’s gloomy mood.

Gladly, his expression eventually turned better. "I’m sorry. I am not supposed to be acting like this. I just felt a little helpless... I wish I could help you." he said as he embraced her.

"Darling... you’re already helping quite a lot. You’re doing your very best too. You’re my strength, Sei. We’re all together in this. If not for you, I would’ve given up on Zaki long ago. The resources you gathered gave us hope, so don’t feel like that, okay?"

Davi stared deep into his eyes. This husband of hers was really being damn cute when he worries like this that Davi couldn’t help but pet his hair. If people would see this man acting all helplessly cute like this, they would’ve faint in disbelief, especially the high profile people who were still seeing Sei as a monster.

"Mn... I will visit you every time."

"Haha, every time? You can’t. Central city is still far."

"But I don’t think I can survive a day without seeing you."

"We can video call, darling. People would suspect if you keep visiting Central City every day."

"Sigh... you’re right." He sighed, embracing her even tighter.

...

Meanwhile in the living room, Zaki and Kyuu were busy chatting when Yu Chen approached them.

When the man sat on the couch next to Zaki, the two stopped talking as if they didn’t want Yu Chen to hear whatever they were talking about.

"Oh, you’re here. Is it over?" Zaki asked as he faced him.

"Mn, you and Dr. Davi will come with us." Yu Chen simply told him.

"Huh? Me? And why take Davi with us?"

"She and her team will work with my team from now on."

"Eh? Sei agreed?"

"Yes."

Zaki was speechless. He leaned on the couch as he ran his fingers through his hair. Those couple were sacrificing too much for him.

"Isn’t it safer if your team will be the one to join Davi’s team instead? That way, Davi won’t need to leave this city."

"No, that’s dangerous for Juu and Kyuu. Unlike you, Juu and Kyuu are still being hidden from the world. If the military will find out that there are other people like you, what do you think will happen? They will find a way not to save them but to kill them instead. Because they will consider their existence as threat. The same is true with you. That’s why Dr. Davi suggested that. The military will never do anything to you because of Sei but they will never help to save you even if they promise that they will."

Yu Chen’s explanation made Zaki close his eyes as he threw his head back. His laid back expression slowly became helpless.

"Chen... did Sei tell you that Davi’s pregnant?" Zaki muttered after a long silence, causing Yu Chen’s eyes to slightly widen. "Sigh... so your secret lab is in Scarlet Hill?"

"Yes."

"I see... I’m glad it’s not that far."

"Dr. Davi said you will move out with us tomorrow."

Zaki sighed again upon hearing him. His eyes filled with contradicting emotions as he stared at the ceiling.

"So, I think you shouldn’t be here gossiping with Kyuu."

"Shut up." Zaki stood. "I’ll let you go this time little devil, I’m gonna bug you until you cry about your first love later." He added before he walked away.

Once Zaki was gone, Yu Chen creased his brows as he looked at Kyuu. However, Kyuu just ignored Yu Chen’s glare and asked him instead.

"Uhm... does this mean that I can’t go back to that hospital anymore?" Kyuu suddenly asked, causing Yu Chen’s brow to raise slightly.

"Why? You want to go back there? Don’t you hate that place?"

"I... I didn’t say that I hate it."

"You’re always escaping."

"Not anymore... I guess..."

Yu Chen squinted his eyes this time. Kyuu was being quite strange today. Was he hiding something from him?

"Chen... Kyuu said he has someone he like in that hospital." Juu suddenly butted in and the words he said obviously shocked Yu Chen. Even though his expression remained the same, Yu Chen didn’t say a word for a long while.

"Someone you like?" he finally asked Kyuu after more than five minutes.

Kyuu hesitantly nodded, like a teenager confessing to his dad about the girlfriend he was hiding.

"Do you want me to send some men to abduct her?" Yu Chen suddenly said after another long silence, causing Juu and Kyuu to blink in confusion.

"Why would you abduct her?"

"Because you want to be with her. I can’t let you leave Scarlet hill once were home Kyuu, so abducting her is the only way I could fulfill your wish."
