Slowly opening his eyes with great difficulty, Hiro contorted his face as he squinted his eyes because of the bright light.

Although the bright light coming from the window beside him first made him to squint his eyes. However slowly and gradually as his eyes got adapted to the light, he rolled his eyes to his left and right.

On one side of his bed, he found his mother sleeping beside him while holding his right hand. While on the other side, he found some intravenous fluids injected on his wrist.

From the looks of it, he could tell that he was lying on a hospital bed.

However as soon as he realised that he was lying in the hospital bed, his heart started beating faster and he started to panic.

His breathing became irregular and he struggled to breathe properly. As if he remembered something he had forgotten a long ago, his body started to react weirdly as he tried to rise from his bed.

It was the trauma from his previous life. Finding himself lying in the hospital bed, his trauma from previous life kicked in.

And because of that trauma taking it’s effect, his mind went completely blank making him forget everything about yesterday’s events. The first thing he remembered when he realised that he was hospitalised was his past experience when he was pathetically lying on the hospital bed with his dreams shattered and his legs crippled.

Just because he didn’t remember his past trauma till now didn’t mean that his brain completely forgot about it. Somewhere deep inside his brain, his past trauma was still lying dormant waiting for an opportunity to surface.

And the environment he found himself in right now perfectly fit the requirements for his trauma to surface.

At that moment, he wanted to scream, yet he couldn’t bring himself to open his mouth. It was like as if someone was pressing their hand upon his mouth, suffocating him.

His pupils enlarged and the grip in his hands tightened as he forced his body to rise. However his body was just too weak. But since he had lost his reasoning for a moment because of the trauma, he felt like a devil was sitting atop his chest, preventing him from rising. As if he was in a state of sleep paralysis, he struggled but to no avail.

Finally sensing the increase on the grip on her hands, his mother awakened from her slumber; only to find her son in a miserable state right now.

Her heart sank as she witnessed her son’s miserable state. Yelling in her shrill voice, she immediately rose from her seat, “Doctor!! Nurse!! Anybody??”

“What’s wrong… Hiro.” Caressing his face, his mother asked while making a worried face.

Her voice trembled as she spoke.

Her heart beating faster and her eyes displaying intense worry, she was greatly concerned about Hiro’s situation.

Until the arrival of the nurse, she continued to console Hiro, trying everything within her power.

Even though she was on the verge of crying herself, she stayed beside his side, comforting him.

Finally after few seconds, one of the doctor arrived accompanied by a nurse.

And although Hiro continued to struggle and panic for some moment, after some time because of the doctor’s treatment, he closed his eyes and went to sleep once again.

“Is he alright doctor?” Hiro’s mother concernedly questioned the doctor.

Her voice meek and her eyes watery, she was really concerned about her son’s wellbeing.

Seeing her worried expression, the doctor tried to console her by saying, “Don’t worry madam, your son is alright. His life isn’t in any kind of danger. It’s just he’s too fatigued right now, so he’s probably having nightmares”

The reason why the doctor said those words was because earlier when the doctors asked about Hiro’s medical history to his parents, they had clearly said that he didn’t have any medical histories.

So based on their testament, he couldn’t link Hiro’s situation to any trauma. And Hiro’s body was too healthy for their to be any kind of medical complications.

That’s why the doctor attributed Hiro’s condition to fatigue and mental exhaustion.

Although the doctor’s words relieved some of her worries, it still didn’t completely calm her down.

Thus she couldn’t restrain herself from questioning, “Will he be okay doctor?”

Upon hearing her words filled with concern, the doctor subtly smile as he answered, “Don’t worry Mrs Takahashi, he’ll be okay”

Saying so the doctor and the nurse walked past her.

Even so, she couldn’t help but worry about her son’s condition. Thus she continued to glance at Hiro with her eyes full of concern.

Although she didn’t show it openly but she was extremely terrified right now.

Hiro’s father on the other hand was currently at the hospital cafeteria, getting some lunch for his wife.

Since yesterday night the two of them hadn’t had anything to eat. Constantly keeping watch on Hiro, the two of them stayed by Hiro’s side whole night.

And although Takashi wasn’t worried about himself, he was worried about his wife getting weak as well.

Thus right now, he was at the cafeteria to get some food for his wife.

On the other hand, Hiro’s teammates only visited him after the end of the celebration. Not that they didn’t want to visit him but since manager Makoto had ordered them to remain at the stadium to entertain the crowd, he didn’t allow anyone to go with the ambulance beside him and Hiro’s parents.

Although the celebration without Hiro’s participation somehow became a little bland and uninteresting, players of Kawasaki still entertained the fans.

Even so the celebration was short lived as it ended way earlier than what was expected.

And as soon as they finished the celebration, all of the players rushed towards the hospital without even changing their attire.

By the time they flooded the hospital, they were still covered in sweat and smeared with dirt.

However since Hiro hadn’t regained his consciousness around the time they visited, they were once again chased by manager Makoto who was the only one from the team staying at the hospital till late night.

But since Hiro’s parents urged him to go back, he didn’t stay overnight to look after Hiro. Afterall Hiro still had his parents who were looking after him.
