The reason why Charlie came was because he was giving Nanako face. He simply wanted to offer them help if he could.
However, since Yahiko’s legs were already amputated and since his life was no longer in danger, there was n o need for him to be here anymore. He also did not want to go and meet Yahiko to avoid any embarrassment, i
Nanako did not insist after she saw this, and she replied softly, "Charlie-kun, please wait here for me for a while. I will go in and see my father first!" 2
Charlie nodded before he said, "Go. You don't need to worry about me."
Nanako nodded lightly before she went to the ward with her aunt, Emi.
At this time, Yahiko had just woken up inside the ward.
The doctor had given him an analgesic pump after his legs had been amputated. Hence, he basically could not feel any pain at all. However, he was still very worried about Nanako, who was in Kyoto, and that was the reason why he couldn’t sleep well. 3
In actuality, he had just dreamt that Nanako had met with an accident in Kyoto. So, Yahiko woke up immediately, and he wanted to instruct his sister,
Emi, to send some men over to bring Nanako back to Tokyo as soon as possible. 2
However, what he never would have dreamt of was that after the ward door was opened, his sister, Emi, had actually come into the ward with his beloved and most precious daughter, Nanako! 2
"Nanako?!" Yahiko blurted out in shock, "Why are you here?"
Nanako saw her father, who was lying on the hospital bed, looking extremely pale and lifeless with thick gauze wrapped around his knees. His legs had already disappeared completely from below his knees.
Nanako burst into tears as she cried out, "Otosan!" 1
