I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband
Chapter 269: Not over ye

After almost an hour of torturous thinking about the pros and cons, Zaki finally decided not to tell him about his wife's accident. And in the end, his decision was proven to be the right move.

Sei finally confirmed the truth and both of them could hardly believe it. The witness they found who was quietly hiding himself in the mountainous region of Country X all these years revealed everything. He was a close friend of Mr. Miura Ken, the man who blasted the town and he was the one who helped him announced that fake warning to have the citizen leave. The man even revealed the real reason behind the blast including his daughter's experiment.

The truth was indeed shocking enough for Sei to accept. From the beginning, the moment Sei saw young Davi's picture in that list, his heart started beating restlessly. However, he ignored it. He even asked his team to remove her from the list, and his persistence not to involve her in the investigation was what made their mission stagnant for a long time. Not until Sei finally decided to have her investigated that things began to move forward. Since then, all mysteries began to unfold. Basically, the key was her all along no matter how unbelievable it is. Sei couldn't even begin to believe it at first so he spent all his power to search for a witness that will prove that the truth he found wasn't a lie. And when that man confirmed it all, Sei don't even know how to react.

No one would have thought that what Sei was actually searching for this entire time was no other than his own wife's biological father, and that his own wife creation was the reason of the blast that the world blamed on him.

Zaki who was watching Sei's every expression couldn't even say a word as well, He was speechless. He could see him being hurt the moment he found out that his dear wife was just like them. Someone who experienced hell during her childhood. They both knew that Davi lost her memory that was why she managed to live a normal life since her foster parents adopted her.

That moment, Zaki wanted to know what Sei was thinking. They both thought that knowing the truth about this case will finally set Sei free but they were completely astounded with the result that they both don't even know what to do next from now on. They were supposed to celebrate but fate seemed to continue playing pranks in their lives.

Quietly, they all returned to Country H. Their long mission has ended successfully, they found the truth they were seeking and yet Sei couldn't even speak a single word about it.

"Sei, tell me. What are we going to do next now?" Zaki finally asked when the man just remained silent. His silence was unreadable and Zaki don't have any idea what was going on in his mind.

However, after a long and deep silence, Sei raised his face and rested his in the backrest of his chair as he closed his eyes. He breathed deep and long before he finally spoke.

"Zaki… let's talk about that soon. Don't worry, I have a plan. This is not over yet. But for now, we're going back. I want to see her. I miss her so much. I felt like I'll die soon if I still can't see her." He said and Zaki's spirit almost left him. It was because he finally remembered that Davi was currently in the hospital now. And he didn't know anything about it yet.

...

Inside a plane, Sei's fatigue and tiredness were finally showing on his face, however, he still refused to sleep. His excitement won't let him rest and Zaki was starting to worry that this man might faint in the hospital if he won't rest now.

Damn, what should I do? Should I tell him that his wife was rushed in the hospital so he will faint now and have his rest? That's actually better than having him faint due to shock in the hospital, right?

Thinking that it's less troublesome if he tells him now, Zaki prepared himself to spit it out. He even asked a doctor to standby in case something happen.

"Anyway, Sei.... well, I actually received a message hours ago. I hope you won't get too shock by this." Zaki said and looked at him curiously.

"What news?" Sei asked and Zaki took a deep breath.

"Whatever I'm going to say, make sure to calm down because everything is alright. You understand?"

"Just spit it out."

"Okay, i will say it. Your wife was involved in a car accident and she was now in the hospital." He finally said and Sei immediately looked at him with wide eyes as he stammered.

"W-w-what did you say?"

"She's in the hospital but they said she's fine now so..." Zaki paused his statement, it was because the man has froze. Zaki waved his hand in front of his face but when the man didn't even blink, he continued talking.

"Hey, still alive? Don't just froze like this, you're supposed to faint!"
