Chapter 444 Five years

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Inside a quiet room, Hinari was looking at Davi and Sei curiously.

"You may want to sit down for this," Sei warned and Hinari obediently sat on the couch across them.

At that moment, for some reason, Hinari’s breathing turned rapid and shallow. Her purse started pounding abnormally. She was nervous to her bones. She was curious about what Sei was going tell her about Zaki but she didn’t know why she suddenly felt like she was scared to hear whatever it was.

For the past five years, Hinari never heard a word from Sei regarding Zaki. She didn’t hear anything from anyone as well, so a talk about Zaki was really a surprise to her.

"I promised Zaki that I wouldn’t say anything about this especially to you but... I believe this is the best thing I could do for him as his big brother." He started and without beating around the bush, Sei immediately began telling her everything about Zaki.

He started with how he found Zaki. He told her that he was an experimental child created to become a human weapon. Sei went into detail and explained that Zaki’s body was mixed with all kinds of experimental formulas to make him surpass the limit of a normal person, the result of which was that it made his reflexes and senses achieve superhuman levels but at a huge cost to his body.

"Zaki was created to be a super human meant to become a killing machine. His body was built to exceed human limits, making him invincible but the cost of this was that his body was expected not to last long."

Hinari was already crying quietly since the beginning of Sei’s story. She always thought that there was something strange about Zaki. She felt it a long time ago but she never thought that Zaki went through all these kinds of things. She felt her heart breaking apart again and again as she listened to Sei and by the time she heard Sei’s last sentence, Hinari felt her world falling apart.

"W-w-what do you mean?" she stammered. She looked like she didn’t want to believe the last words she just heard.

Davi walked over to sit by her friend and held her hand. She gently squeezed Hinari’s hand as Sei replied.

"Zaki’s expected life span is very short. The truth is that the scientist who experimented on him predicted that he would die in his 20s."

As soon as those words reached Hinari’s ears, she felt like her heart constricted as though someone just squeezed it hard. Her body felt like it was paralyzed and she wanted to scream but her lips just kept trembling and no word came out of it. She felt like she was suddenly trapped inside a dark cave where the only thing she could hear were the drops of endless tears flowing from her eyes. She felt like she couldn’t breathe.

Hinari thought that leaving Zaki was the most painful thing but she was wrong. The crushing pain she was feeling right now was even more unbearable. The pain of losing Zaki like this was the kind of pain she would never withstand. It was something she could never accept. It was a brutal kind of pain she knew could kill her.

She could stand the pain of living her life without him. She could stand the pain of him not loving her back. She could stand the pain of not being with him ever again. But the thought of him dying was something impossible for her.

"Hinari... Hinari... look at me." Davi pleaded as she held Hinari’s face, making her look at her in the face.

"Hinari, listen... please be strong. You can’t break down. Zaki needs you right now." Davi continued and gladly, Hinari finally moved and she clutched Davi’s shirt before she finally sobbed in her embrace.

The room was then filled with nothing but sobs and painful cry. Davi was trying her best to console Hinari while Sei was quietly looking out the dark window with a painful expression on his eyes.

When Hinari finally calmed down, Sei once again spoke.

"Hinari, his doctors said that he only has five years left."
