Last Hope

Episode 68's

tiit.tiit...

There was only the sound of a heart detection device in an intensive room in one of the hospitals in Seoul. Seen one beautiful woman who looks weak with all life support tools are paired almost all over her body.

The beautiful woman is not alone, since three hours ago when she was laid in the ICU room, her husband always accompanied her and clasped tightly his wife's cold hands.

Maybe if we look directly, Ayumi is the one who suffers the most here, but if we look more deeply, Ayumi does not bear all her own pain, she said, Kenji may be arguably the most painful because three hours ago, the doctor who handled Ayumi said that his wife had no hope of surviving longer. And during those three hours, Kenji endured his grief and preferred to be with Ayumi and be the first person he saw when his wife woke up.

Kenji was laying his face between Ayumi's arms, until he felt the movement in his grasp move.

Kenji immediately looked up and was grateful to see Ayumi who was familiarizing herself with the light in the room where she was being treated.

"Kenji.." The para called her husband.

"Hey dear.." murmured Kenji gently rubbed Ayumi's sweaty forehead.

"Did I faint again?" He said he asked Kenji very weakly.

"Hmmm, but you're gonna be fine here, baby." He said a smile held back and told Ayumi who looked very weak.

Ayumi smiled weakly shook her head and with the rest of her strength she rubbed Kenji's face which also felt cold with anxiety.

"I'm tired, baby." Her mutter tells Kenji that with tears streaming down her face, she keeps looking through her husband's face, afraid that today is her last day to see the man she loves the most.

"Then go to sleep. I'll keep you company." He said he was holding the hand of Ayumi who was tracing her face.

Ayumi smiled again and shook her head weakly.

"I've had no hope dear, and I'm tired of feeling all this pain."

"You can't talk like that yum, i-I'll find a way to cure you." Kenji is visibly tense with Ayumi's remark that she is surrendering to her illness.

"Kenjiaa Sickness.I can no longer," murmured Ayumi who really could not bear the pain she felt.

"Then hold on for me, no-. For Haowen, our son needs you yum, he even cried incessantly when he saw you faint earlier." Said Kenji looking for all the possibilities that could make Ayumi understand.

"He'll be fine without me, he has a great father and will love him with his life."

"SUFFICIENT YUM..! don't talk like you're leaving me. I can't." Kenji raises his voice and shakes violently in fear Ayumi will completely abandon him.

"Sorry dear." Lirih Ayumi who returned felt an unbearable pain all over her body.

"But I'm really tired.relie me Kenji, please." His ink grabbed Kenji's arm which felt so tense.

Kenji was already visibly angry, he wiped his tears quickly and stared intently at his wife who looked increasingly weakened.

"Why can-...how can I raise Haowen alone? How can I watch him grow while he smiles, he'll remind me of you. How can I?.how can I look at our son when all I see is your eyes. I can't yum.I beg you not to leave me. I'm afraid, baby." He said hysterical made Ayumi feel more guilty and unwilling to leave her husband and child.

Ayumi looked at her husband faintly as everything started to look dark again for him, she then rubbed Kenji's face back and smiled at him "I'm sorry Kenji.. I beg you." The omission again makes Kenji feel frustrated and unwilling.

"Don't leave me dear.I beg you." Lirih Kenji begged Ayumi.

"ARGHAD…..!"

Kenji then walks away to keep his distance from Ayumi and then screams his hand at the wall to channel his overwhelming fear, Ayumi looked at her husband and sobbed to realize that the time to be with her husband until they were old was only an impossible hope.

"ARGHHHHH….!"

Kenji again screamed and sobbed helplessly bearing all his own pain.

"Eomma…..!"

Haowen, who has been unable to see Ayumi for almost three days, is very happy when Keiko takes her to the hospital. Ayumi, who has been transferred to the usual care room, awakens to hear the voice of her son, whom she desperately longs for.

"Haowennie." she said she tried to hug Haowen but failed because she was very weak. With the help of Derick, Haowen was taken up to Ayumi's bed and immediately hugged her mother.

"Eommas….Haowen misses." She hugged her mother who looked very helpless.

Ayumi simply closed her eyes tightly and burst back into sobbing realizing she could not hug her son anymore and could not see her son growing up.

"Huh-huh..Haowen." lirih Ayumi called her son.

"Ummh...why is eomma crying?" haowen asked, realizing that her mother was sobbing and looked very sad.

"Haowen, honey, do you want to promise Eomma?" asked Ayumi to kiss her son's entire face.

"Nee.whatever eomma." He said he wiped away the tears that kept falling on his mother's face.

"Haowen would like to keep appa for eomma? Make sure your dad isn't late for a meal, isn't tired and don't make your dad feel lonely. Haowen wants to, right?" he looked at Kenji who was standing not far from them and asked Haowen who looked confused.

"Where is eomma going?" asked Haowen not understand.

"Eomma will go far and rest dear."

"Haowen wants to join eomma." He said he started crying knowing Ayumi was leaving.

Ayumi shook her head weakly and returned smiling "You should take care of appa for eoma son. Eomma will always look after and watch over Haowen in the new eomma place, son" he assured Haowen who was still crying.
