The Meeting at the Hospital

Aoyama Hattori continued, "If you all want to break off the engagement you can say it. I won't blame you."

Hideki Kujo's expression became serious. He said sternly, "Nanako and Kappei fell in love at first sight. She wishes to marry him and will not marry anyone else. Though I am her brother, I still respect her wish."

Aoyama Hattori looked at him in the eyes. "Alright," was all he said.

Hideki Kujo lowered his head, hiding a smile. Although Aoyama betrayed no sign of rage on his face, his anger seeped from his tone and demeanor, as well as the slight satisfaction of his last sentence.

However, this had nothing to do with him. The only person to suffer would be the one who hurt Kappei Hattori. Kappei's current critical condition would benefit his plan later on.
