Kei was running to the hospital, where Daiki is. He was holding Yuyan's hands, which was literally dragged by him. They were contacted by the hospital that Daiki was there, but the line got choppy so they did not know if Daiki had a heart attack.

When they arrived, they both saw something they did not expect.

Daiki was there, sitting at the bench of the emergency room. His hands are covered in blood for some reasons. His hair and his clothes are wet due to the rain.

Kei slowly walk towards him, and look at him in his eyes.

"I ... I was out there, searching for her." He explained, stuttering. "She ... she called my old phone number." He stutterly continues while his blood-covered hands were shaking. "I ... I saw her, bleeding and unconscious. Inoo-chan ... I ... I ..."

Kei quickly cupped Daiki's face with his both hands, and looked at his frightened cousin in the eye."Cath-chan will be alright." He told Daiki, even though he knew to himself that he's not sure too.

Just then, two doctors came out behind the curtains. One of them was Nakajima-sensei, Daiki's heart surgeon.

"Excuse me ..." The other doctor, who was with Nakajima-sensei, asked Kei. "Are you the husband?"

Kei give him an obviously disappointed look and snarled. "Are you serious?! You're going to asked me about that?! Do I look like a real man to you?! I have a boyfriend, you know?!"

The other doctor got embarrassed, and bowed for an apology.

Seriously! Why is this happening to me TWICE?! Kei asked himself in his thoughts.

"Anyway." The doctor continued. "You're ... errr ... friend is now stable. Both her and the baby she's carrying."

The three of them sighed in relief, knowing that Cath and her baby are both safe from danger.

"However, she got problems with breathing and she's palpitating, so I asked Nakajima-sensei for help." The doctor continued. "I have a question, though. Is she's been through a lot of stress lately?"

The three of them just exchanged looks. None of them don't know what to answer to the doctor.

"The first three months of pregnancy is very crucial, so stress must be avoided, otherwise her pregnancy might lead to miscarriage, like tonight." The doctor explained.

The doctor advised that Cath must stay in the hospital for two weeks for observation before he left. When the doctor left, Nakajima-sensei talked to the three of them.

"She almost died tonight." Nakajima-sensei talked to them in a whispering tone. "It is very obvious that she's been a lot through, lately."

"She's been a lot through ever since her pregnancy thing started." Kei snarled like a sassy girl.

Nakajima-sensei turned his attention to Daiki, that's now a bit calm hearing the doctor's news.

"Stress is bad for you too, Dai-chan." Nakajima-sensei told him as he checks Daiki's vital signs. "You should go home and rest. Maya and I will take care of her, I promise."
