Yuzu was worried. Dawn was creeping in, yet Niky still hadn't returned from his work. She wouldn't be this anxious if Niky had told her in advance that he'd be late. However, in his last message, he clearly promised to be home early so they could have dinner together.
Something had happened. Whether good or bad, Yuzu could feel that something urgent was keeping him away. The unease in her chest made her unable to touch her dinner without him. Even when Yeva gently urged her to sleep, Yuzu refused. She insists on staying awake and waiting for Niky's return.
"Ah!"
Yuzu leapt to her feet the second she heard the sound of a car pulling up outside. Excitement shot through her spine. She wanted to run out and greet him, but Niky had strictly warned her never to rush outside without caution. It could cost her life, he said.
"Someone, call Yeva—quick!"
"Prepare the treatment room! The boss needs emergency care!"
