Eternal Melody

Chapter 1023 My Beautiful Monster Part 124

TOH

He was truly petrified that she would end up getting emotional, and cause not only herself harm but the child.

"But you didn't?"

"If she truly couldn't take care of the child, I would have come. But she could. I, I've been in touch with Hamano." Toh admitted.

Akane blinks. "Now that's a surprise. I don't think you two are friends."

Toh nodded. "It's true we're not. But, I knew if Sumire went to Tokyo. Hamano would follow her. Sure enough, it was eventually in the news that his relationship with Momoi was falling apart. Although nobody knew the details, I knew it was about Sumire. So, I called him."

"I see, you really love her that much."

Toh paused hearing her tone change. 'Are you in love with-' He shakes his head. He can't ask her that now, that would be too cruel. He isn't a psychologist for nothing. Right now, he can tell how sensitive Akane's condition is. He pushes her back down on the bed and tucks her in.

"Sleep."

Akane shakes her head. "I've only been awake for two hours. I've been sleeping for a few days haven't I?"

"Yes."

"Have you been coming here the entire time?" Akane wondered.

Toh nodded. "I have but-" His sentence fell short hearing his phone beep.

He felt his entire body tremble when he read the message on the screen.

"What's wrong?" Akane asked.

"Sumire is in labor." Toh managed to say.

Akane blinks startled. "She- I-I know she has been sleeping with the Lord, but isn't it too soon to give birth?"

Toh's gaze darkened. "So this must be why he wanted her. That bastard."

He knew none of Sumire's children were normal. All three were born with powers. While the twins Satomi and Kyoko are growing up normally. Huan's growth rate is abnormal. Thankfully, the reporters haven't pried too much. Although he suspects it's because HYOU4 and the SF have interfered. In the end of the day the SF was created not to just capture out of control evolved humans, but to protect them too.

Did Lucifer want her so badly because he knew he could get her pregnant easily? Although he knew the truth regarding their past lives. He can't help but think this was one of the goals Lucifer had in mind, to get her pregnant with his kid.

"Akane, I don't want to leave you but-"

Akane nodded. "It's okay, go."

Toh leaned forward to kiss her only for his phone to ring again.

From Eli

I'll fetch her today.

His eyes widened seeing the message. Despite the vague details, Toh immediately understood what Eli was referring too. Toh tried to call him but it kept going on voice mail. Damn it! This isn't a good time.

Toh dials Mamoru's number. "Where are you? Go to the hospital, and get me. Use your powers and get us to Lucifer's base quickly."

"Did something happen to Ki?" Mamoru immediately understood.

"It's Eli."

Mamoru cursed as he ended the call. Akane wrapped her arms around him from the back. For the next few minutes she didn't say a word, but eventually said softly.

"Come back to me?"

Toh nodded. "Of course, I will."

LUCIFER

'I wasn't there for her during her first delivery in their first life. I realized earlier on that there would be problems with her having a child again. But when she got pregnant in their second life, I thought maybe I was overthinking it. However, when she miscarried, I realized my theory was correct. If they are ever blessed to have a child again, I will make sure to be there by her side.'

The next few hours truly felt like torture to him. Lyra didn't bother to come out again. She even had the nerve to set up a forcefield around the room, so even if he wanted to peek inside, he wouldn't have been able to. Even though his men were made aware of the situation, it didn't stop them from coming to him regarding work. He only half listened, he didn't care. Even if the organisation was on the verge of collapse, it wouldn't matter to him.

Some caused a fuss, and he heard that even Suigetsu showed up. Realizing that there was a chance their negativity could impact Norah giving birth. He wrapped them all in a cocoon of darkness preventing them from leaving, and blocking them out entirely.

Jacks found the entire thing funny, and even took photos much to his dismay. All he could think about was the love of his life and their child.

Suddenly the screams stopped, and there was a brief period of silence. That silence broke when he heard the sound of a child's cries. Lucifer let's out a sigh he didn't know he was holding back. Soon the barrier dropped, Lucifer however waited for Lyra to come out.

He only had to wait five minutes. Lucifer scanned her expression and saw a bright smile on her face.

"Norah and the child are fine."

One of the reasons why he had been so anxious was because he recalled how Sumire struggled while she gave birth to Tsueno, and Terashima's children. A third delivery in this life, surely won't be easy on her body. He was terrified that she would have side effects or even lose her life in the process.

It was worth the risk, that's why he didn't try talking her out of it.

A child, he has been wanting to see this child for so many life times already. However, instead he was focused on one thing. Whether or not Sumire was okay..

"Can I go inside?"

Lyra rolled her eyes. "Yes, yes go to your wife."

Lucifer thanked her before rushing past her and headed straight to his wife who was lying on the bed. Sumire's face was still drained of all colour, and beads of sweat fell from her face. The others assisting with the delivery were getting everything cleaned up, so they didn't notice her discomfort.

His gaze darkened. If it was possible for Lyra alone to help Sumire with the delivery, he would have made sure none of these extras were around.
