Maimi_Yajima-san and
Yukari-san: As you wish
Chapter 69Risako, Kanna, Airi and Reina walked back into the intensive care unit to see doctors and nurses rushing into Maimi’s room and Miyabi, Saki and Erika leaning on the window looking in. The nurses closed the curtains so that their stares didn’t pressure the doctors. Reina, Risako, Kanna and Airi ran up to Miyabi.
“What’s going on?” asked a worried Reina
Miyabi’s eyes slowly began to tear up “M-Maimi” she choked “Maimi started coughing out blood. The doctors have to help her lungs so she can breathe.”
Eri and Gaki-san walked out of Maimi’s room along with the other doctors and nurses. Eri and Gaki-san spoke to the other doctors and nurses before letting them leave.
“Eri! Gaki-san!” Reina grabbed them on the arm “How is she? What’s wrong?”
Eri and Gaki-san’s facial expression did not ease the tension. “Reina, this is worse than last time. She never healed properly the first time and now her new ones have reopened old ones. She has sustained injuries in the head that we must run a CAT scan on” said Gaki-san
“The injuries on her arms are minor and will heal over time but her major injuries are those internal and on her back. We cannot determine if any of her vital nerves have been damaged yet until she wakes up. Her spine is still intact” continued Eri reading Maimi’s medical report.
“She had internal bleeding hence she was coughing out the blood. She, she…”
“She what?”
“She flat-lined once Reina” said Gaki-san as everyone looked at them wide-eyed. “Luckily we were able to get her heart pumping again. We will observe her internal bleeding for the rest of the night by then we can determine if her internal bleeding has stopped. The tests will have to wait until she wakes up”
“Wh-wh-when will she wake up?”
Eri and Gaki-san looked at each other. “It is undetermined. It could be tomorrow, it could be next week, or it could be next month. It all depends on Maimi-chan’s will to wake up. I’m sorry Reina! We will do the best we can to keep her alive” said Eri as she and Gaki-san squeezed Reina on the shoulder as comfort.
Reina who was already crying choked as she spoke “Reina...Reina knows you guys are doing the best you can and that’s all Reina can ask for. Can we go in and see her?”
“Yes but only one at a time” replied Gaki-san as she and Eri went to check on their other patients.
“Reina-san, why don’t you go in first” offered Miyabi who was wiping her tears with her sleeve. “Are you hungry? We can go and get you something to eat”
Reina shook her head “Daijoubu! Miya why don’t you take the girls home. It’s been one traumatizing day for all of you”
Everyone shook their heads “We want to wait for Maimi-chan” said Erika
“Maimi is lucky to have friends like you guys”
As she was about to go in, Aika had called out to her. Aika went up to Reina and whispered something in Reina’s ears. Reina nodded and dismissed Aika before instructing for Miyabi to her side and whispering to Miyabi. She then went into Maimi’s room and sat in the chair beside her bed clutching onto Maimi’s hand.
“What’s wrong hun?
“Reina-san has business issues she needs to deal with so she hopes I can watch Maimi for her. Any ways let’s split into groups. One group will stay here and go in one by one. The others will go and eat, shower, change etc.” Everyone agreed on the arrangement. At the end the groups were Kanna, Risako, Airi and Momoko who will do their own thing while Miyabi, Saki and Erika stayed behind. “Okay! You guys can switch with us in say 4 hours or when you guys feel like changing”
