The Mother Who Eloped With Someone

Kazuya had seen Yumi's business card before, checked the landline number of her workplace and called her. Yoko stared at him nervously and strained her little ears to listen. But Kazuya asked a few questions and then cut off the call. It was a brothel and the staff thought Kazuya was going to name Yumi, so he directly told him that she had resigned for two days and he didn't know where she had gone. He also recommended several peosons to him that were said to be gentler than Yumi.

Kazuya wasn't sure either. Could it be that Yumi,or Sonoko Shiraishi, ran away and didn't even want her daughter? What happened?

Yoko was very sensitive. When she saw his face, she suddenly turned pale and started to tremble.

Kazuya hesitated and found Naotaka's name from the phone's address book. There was no better person to ask about things than this kind of local emperor. But the problem was that it was okay to ask once or twice, but was it appropriate to ask for his help every time?

Besides, Naotaka is a social adult. This kind of person should not be underestimated. If he asks him, he will definitely be able to handle things properly. Maybe he can use his previous favors to find someone to take Yumi directly. But don't think that he won't keep it in mind if others owe him a favor. Just in case one day he points to his five daughters and sighs that he doesn't have much time left. If he really wants him to marry one, should he agree or not?

Kazuya hesitated there for a while, but looking at Yoko, who was getting more and more frightened as she thought about it, he finally gritted his teeth and called Naotaka.

Let's talk about the future in the future. If it doesn't have others ways, just support Toutaro in the future.

As soon as the call came through, he had just said hello when he heard a series of weak coughs: "Mr. Sakura, are you okay?"

Naotaka coughed there for a long time before saying: "There's no way if I am not okay. Matsuoka, if one make a wrong step, he can't look back."

During the rainy season, his life was worse than death. And not only that, he was disemboweled and his internal organs may have been injured, so his vitality was severely reduced.

He paused, knowing that Kazuya was not the kind of person who would call people to chat when nothing happened, so he asked: "What's the matter?"

Kazuya slowly told the story about Yumi's missing person and asked him to help find out. Naotaka was very happy and immediately said: "Is she Yumi from the Yanagi Shop on the First Street? I'll make a few calls and ask, please wait a minute."

"Thank you, Mr. Sakura." Kazuya cut off the call and felt uneasy. This person was always so happy when he asked him for help, but then if he really asked Kazuya for help and he didn't complete his ask, it would be too embarrassing.

He closed the phone and sat there waiting for the news, while Yoko thought about it and her eyes turned red at some point. She stretched out a hand and held the hem of his clothes: "Onisan... doesn't mom want me anymore?"

She was sitting there on her knees, unable to straighten her waist. She had a confused look on her face, as if she didn't know where to go.

Kazuya moved to her side, patted her back gently, "Don't scare yourself, She may not have time to inform you. It's okay, it's okay..." After a few words of comfort, he didn't know what to say. In the face of this situation, he could only repeat "It's okay" dryly and finally fell silent.

The room was silent for a while. After a long time, Kazuya sighed. he continued to gently pat Yoko's back and asked: "Are there any other relatives, Yoko?"

Yoko lowered his head and shook it slowly, "I don't know who my father is, I haven't even seen his photo. My mother has never mentioned anyone in her family. I have lived with her since I can remember. Every day I wait for her to come home alone...I know my mother has never liked me. She has said many times that she regretted giving birth to me before. She said that she was too stupid when she was young...now...now..."

She choked up as she spoke. Kazuya quickly hugged her gently and repeatedly comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay!" Apart from this weak comfort, he really didn't know what to say.

Yoko buried her head in his arms, her tears soaked his clothes, and she choked with sobs: "Onisan, my mother must not want me anymore, right..."

"It's okay, it's okay... don't cry, Yoko. Be careful not to hurt your eyes from crying."

"I hate that my mom always brings strangers back, and I blame her for not being like other people's mothers. Did she find that I hate her so she just doesn't want me anymore? But I usually try to be good and don't cause trouble for her. I eat very little every day and cook for myself. Why does she still... what should I do..."

Toratoro came over with a pack of tissues which was along with distributed advertising randomly on the roadside. Its face was very anxious. Kazuya casually took one and wiped Yoko's tears. He said with a forced smile: "It's not your fault. Don't scare yourself first."

Yoko felt resentful towards her mother, but Kazuya couldn't tell whether it's right or not...However, no matter what the reason was for giving birth to a child, she still had to bear the minimum responsibility.

The tissues on his hands quickly became soaked, and Kazuya took a few more to wipe her tears, while Yoko buried her head in Kazuya's arms and cried out. Her little body shaking violently, as frightened as a young animal that can't find its nest.

There was regret, confusion, and fear in her cries. What all Kazuya could do was patting her back gently and giving her comfort.

Yoko was scared and sad, and she was even more confused in her heart, sobbing uncontrollably. Kazuya let her vent her emotions and just kept patting her to comfort her, showing that she was not alone. Naotaka was very efficient and quickly called back.

"Matsuoka, I asked about it. Recently, Ms. Yumi often hangs out with a man named Kudo from other city. I heard that he comes from Hokkaido to discuss business. He is rich and very generous. Mama-san said that she seemed proud when she resigned and said she was going to Hokkaido to start a new life." Naotaka's voice was very calm, as if he was used to this kind of thing.

"Is he a handsome man who looks to be in his early twenties? His chin is a bit pointed and there seems to be a small birthmark or scar on the corner of his left eyebrow..." Kazuya was stunned before he reacted. He had seen Yumi and a well-dressed man together several times. He only thought he was her client, but he didn't expect him to be her boyfriend.

Did she abandon her daughter and elope? How could she do such thing? If she wanted to remarry, couldn't she take her daughter?

"I didn't ask about his appearance, he may be in his early twenties. But there seems to be something wrong with that man. I can't say for sure now, forget it... Matsuoka, Ms. Yumi has probably left Nagoya for at least a day. Her destination is most likely Hokkaido. It's too far and I don't have many acquaintances. My suggestion is that if you have to find her, it's best to go through the police."

Although Kazuya didn't have as much social experience as Naotaka, he still knew a little about this kind of thing. "Is it a crime of abandonment? But if so, Yoko..."

The crime of abandonment will most likely result in the deprivation of custody rights. If she is recovered through the police, it is no different from not being recovered!

Naotaka thought he was asking what would happen to Yoko, "Probably they will look for her other relatives to act as guardians. If they can't be found, she may be sent to social welfare institutions first, and then wait for adoption. It's just that at her age, I'm afraid it's difficult to find the right person who wants to adopt her..."
