Chapter 54

~8 min read 1,401 words

Shiho Miyano went to Dr. Agasa’s house.

Dr. Agasa was a lifelong bachelor and a stereotypical old-school man.

He had never raised a child.

Plus, he had to spend his days researching inventions.

His daily life and chores still relied on Shiho Miyano to take care of them.

How could he possibly spare any attention for Shiho Miyano’s needs?

When it came to taking care of her with such meticulous attention,

no one could compare to her own older sister.

"Hey!"

Shiho Miyano’s beloved coffee was snatched away.

Consequently, she shifted her attention toward Hoshino Ki.

Her icy blue, beautiful eyes shifted slightly.

Her gaze was full of coldness and detachment.

"..."

How rude!

Hoshino Ki cast a cold glance at the other person’s face.

Seeing that despite the other person clearly having the appearance of a child now,

she still wore a poker face.

She looked insufferably cold from head to toe.

Truly not cute at all!

Hoshino Ki did not want to pay any mind to Shiho Miyano.

"Shiho, don't be so rude!"

Akemi Miyano placed the food she was holding onto the table.

She spoke up to reprimand her younger sister.

"Mr. Zhao Si, I'm so sorry, my sister has only just recovered."

"It's fine."

Hoshino Ki treated Shiho Miyano as if she were nothing.

He picked up the chopsticks in front of him.

"No! The dishes aren't all served yet, wait a moment before eating!"

Akemi Miyano snatched the chopsticks from Hoshino Ki’s hand.

She looked every bit like a strict head of the household.

Akemi Miyano was currently twenty-five years old.

She was indeed qualified to act as Hoshino Ki’s guardian.

So, when exactly were these two women going to leave?

It was so annoying.

"Mr. Zhao Si!"

"?"

Hoshino Ki had just swallowed a mouthful of greens.

Akemi Miyano had suddenly called his name.

At this moment, Akemi Miyano looked gentle.

Her long hair was pinned up with a black clip,

cascading down behind her head.

A few stray hairs were left on her forehead,

covering her broad brow.

Her pale blue eyes added a touch of melancholy.

She displayed a gentle and sentimental appearance.

She was wearing a pink long dress,

with the sleeves carefully rolled up to her elbows.

She looked every bit like a virtuous wife.

The fragrance of the greens in his mouth left Hoshino Ki with a lingering aftertaste.

He didn't have time to process her unusual behavior.

He could only look at her with a confused expression.

"Could I trouble you to let us stay for a while?"

Akemi Miyano looked troubled.

"Because of my sister's situation,"

"people from the organization are looking for her everywhere right now."

She looked at Shiho Miyano beside her.

"With the current situation of us two sisters,"

"no matter where we go, we will be caught."

"So..."

"Sister..."

Seeing her sister acting so submissively for her sake,

Shiho Miyano was suddenly distraught.

Her expression was complex as she set down her bowl and chopsticks.

They really were at a dead end...

"Can I ask this of you?"

Akemi Miyano felt a bit embarrassed.

"Of course, we will pay you rent."

New book is out, please send flowers, please subscribe!!!

She pressed her palms together...

Her tone carried a hint of pleading.

"Do whatever you want!"

Hoshino Ki put down his bowl and chopsticks.

He elegantly picked up a tissue from the side and wiped his mouth.

He had actually already guessed Akemi Miyano’s intentions.

He had seen it from the moment she entered the house.

This woman was very smart.

She knew how to utilize her advantages.

She had shown her sincerity by cooking.

The other party really did cook a good meal.

It was much better than the bread from the convenience store.

It was indeed as she said.

In the outside world at this time,

there was no longer any safe place for the two sisters.

Rather than running around and hiding,

it was better to just stay put honestly.

As the saying goes,

the most dangerous place is the safest place.

Even if Gin and the others were cautious, they would never think of this.

The two sisters they were looking for were hiding in "one of their own's" villa.

Hoshino Ki did not refuse Akemi Miyano’s request.

For him,

it was nothing more than having one more quiet child in the house.

Besides, he had originally planned to hire a nanny.

Now it was just right.

He had a nanny, housekeeper, and wet nurse all in one, delivered to his door without needing to pay a salary.

Why not?

It was practically a steal.

As for the fear of the two sisters being discovered by the organization,

there was no need to worry at all.

Conan had been on for so many episodes,

and Shiho Miyano had never been discovered by the organization.

Presumably, this wasn't a big problem.

Even if the two of them were really discovered by Gin at some point,

Hoshino Ki had a way to protect himself.

A mere Gin,

couldn't he just be killed?

Once he was dead, no one would pursue Shiho Miyano’s whereabouts anymore.

Hoshino Ki took his school bag and walked toward the study.

Once Hoshino Ki’s figure was no longer visible,

at the dining table,

the two sisters whispered to each other.

"Sister! Is this person trustworthy?"

Shiho Miyano looked suspicious.

"Don't worry, he just doesn't like to talk, but his heart is actually very good."

Akemi Miyano vouched for him to her sister.

"Look, the gunshot wound on my abdomen was treated by him."

As she spoke, Akemi Miyano lifted her skirt,

showing her smooth, flat abdomen to her sister.

"There was a gunshot wound here? The surgery was done by him? How is that possible?!"

Shiho Miyano was stunned!

There wasn't even a single scar visible on it.

It was as smooth as a baby's skin.

"I didn't believe it at first either, but all the subsequent dressing changes were done by him."

Akemi Miyano recalled.

"That kind of technique, I've only seen it at that hospital."

"That's the most famous hospital in the country..."

She held up a finger,

earnestly educating her sister.

"By the way, Sister! You said before that he was a member of the organization?"

Shiho Miyano rested her chin on her hand, deep in thought.

"Yes, he should still be a subordinate of Gin and the others."

Akemi Miyano slowly lowered her skirt,

and tidied it up.

"He was the one who provided cover for us when we robbed the bank."

"Gin!!"

Shiho Miyano was clearly frightened by the name.

Her small body suddenly stood up,

her whole body stiffening and trembling uncontrollably.

"Oh, it's okay Shiho, if he really wanted to report us..."

"he wouldn't have gone through the trouble of saving us."

Akemi Miyano hurriedly hugged her sister's small body to comfort her.

"......"

Shiho Miyano’s eyes were full of fear.

Gin was the nightmare of her life.

Now that she knew Hoshino Ki might be Gin’s subordinate,

she couldn't help but tremble all over.

No wonder.

She had felt before that Hoshino Ki’s eyes were very similar to Gin’s,

perhaps even colder and more terrifying than Gin’s.

It turned out they were birds of a feather.

"No! Sister, we must leave immediately!"

Shiho Miyano jumped off the stool instantly,

grabbing Akemi Miyano’s arm and dragging her hard toward the outside.

"You can't trust people from the organization!"

Shiho Miyano clearly still didn't trust Hoshino Ki.

That kind of look,

was definitely not something a normal person could have.

"Ah!? But where can we go?"

Akemi Miyano looked confused.

"Given your special situation, as soon as we go out, our identities will be discovered."

"The people in the organization aren't fools."

She grabbed Shiho Miyano’s small hand,

stopping her from moving forward.

"But it's also dangerous here!"

Shiho Miyano shouted anxiously!

"Just trust your sister once, okay?"

Akemi Miyano squatted down and touched her sister’s head,

saying patiently:

"Sister has already lived here for more than a month."

"Look at me, aren't I perfectly fine?"

"I promise you, as soon as there is anything the least bit wrong with him, we will leave immediately."

"Okay?"

Akemi Miyano’s gentle tone was like a quiet spring,

moistening Shiho Miyano’s fearful heart.

"Mm..."

Shiho Miyano listened to her sister’s words and gradually calmed down.
