I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband

Chapter 268 Great dilemma

Hours ago in Country X.

Zaki was in a great dilemma. He just received the news that Sei’s wife was involved in a minor car accident and it may cause her early delivery. He knew that he should tell him but he was afraid. Afraid what will happen to this man the moment he heard the news that his wife was hurt.

He remembered what happened when he told Sei about the news of his wife pregnancy five months ago, and he couldn’t help but facepalm and fell on his knees. That time, the news about Davi’s pregnancy completely destroyed Sei’s focus, turning his system into a real mess. The super computer dramatically demoted into the lowest model of computer in existence, lagging down and turning completely useless every now and then. That time, Zaki was thinking that telling him about the news will motivate him to the highest degree but the complete opposite has happened and he regretted it down to his bone. The news wasn’t helpful at all, it became his great distraction that made his mission slowed down to the lowest speed ever, as though the majestic bullet train turned into an olden day chariot in a blink of an eye, causing Zaki to almost hit him for real to wake him up.

Sei that time has drowned in the pool of worry and he obviously wanted to go home even though he never said it. He was aware that him, going back will put her and their child in danger and it’s the only thing that was stopping him from flying back. That time, Zaki could only do his best coaxing him. He spent a long time trying to make the man stop worrying about her and return his focus in his mission so he can finally go home before her delivery. However, his hard work almost didn’t make any difference at all. Not until Zaki agreed to take a risk and let him see her, with an exception of approaching her.

After troublesome and taxing preparations, they both made their way back to Country J despite the extreme danger. Zaki was troubled and anxious, however, the moment he saw Sei’s reaction as soon as he saw his wife, he could only chuckle deep within. He still remembered Sei’s expression when he was watching her secretly inside the car. His wife just stepped outside the hospital with Hinari and Haru by her side. There was already a bump in her stomach and Sei was like a little child on the verge of tears clinging on the car’s window. His face was almost stuck on the window, as his eyes reflected an overflowing emotion of intense longing for her. He even remembered his priceless reaction as he gripped Zaki’s shoulders saying the words, ’I... I’m a father now, my wife and I have a child now’ over and over again like a broken tape.

That moment, Zaki could only tease him to cry if he wanted to. Although it’s too bad because he didn’t shed a tear. Zaki also cuffed him that time just in case he will lost control and try to approach her. But gladly, despite his extreme and uncontrollable emotion, he still managed to suppress himself since he knew he can’t afford to put her and their child into danger. They both followed her, stalking her in the shadows the whole day and somehow, Sei’s mood gradually changed seeing that his dearest wife was fine and happy. Her smiles and healthy complexion soothed the extreme worry in Sei’s heart and Zaki was so glad seeing the broken computer slowly fixing itself back to its usual glory.

Zaki also told him that she was very healthy and that his grandfather was watching her closely in the sideline. However, the man still demanded Zaki to deploy a hundred best of best and most trusted nurses to assist and take care of her 24/7, causing Zaki’s head to ache badly. But in the end, he could only agree with him so they can finally leave.

It took almost two months for Sei to completely regain his 100% focus back to his mission. And those two months was such a great pain for all of them because every now and then, Sei suddenly fell in daze even when they’re in the middle of their mission. Because of it, the supposedly five-month span to finish the mission lengthened dramatically.

That was why right now, Zaki was fighting a great war within him whether to tell or not to tell him about the news, especially now that they are so close to the dead end. He made sure that nothing serious has happened but her, giving birth earlier than expected is a real problem. It was because he knew that Sei has been working beyond his limit to make it on the day of her delivery.
