Chapter 385: Waiting for Labor
Natsui Makoto was no longer living at home, but had been admitted to a private hospital for mothers and children to wait for her to give birth. She was staying in a VIP luxury suite, enjoying the best treatment. For this, the expenses to be paid would not be small.
The reason why Masayoshi Kishimoto had chosen this place for Makoto Natsui was because of its extreme privacy. Many of the illegitimate children of public figures came from here.
The hospital side of course knew what their money-making method was? Therefore, from the doctors to the nurses, not only did they sign a non-disclosure agreement before joining the hospital, but they also kept their mouths shut on weekdays, never revealing a single bit of information about the hospital’s inner workings to the public.
“Are you still used to living here?” Masayoshi Kishimoto appeared in the luxurious suite where Makoto Natsui was staying, and while putting down the fruit basket he was carrying, he asked her standing at the window balcony.
“This place is fine. The only bad thing is that it’s too expensive. The amount I spend in a day living here is as much as what I used to earn in a month of part-time work.” Hearing the familiar voice, Natsui Makoto slowly turned her body to face him and said.
“I was worried that you wouldn’t be used to living here. As for the matter of money, you don’t need to do any worrying. If there are any extra expenses you need to pay, you can do it yourself.
I have given you a platinum credit card. You can swipe it however you like, feel free to do so.” Masayoshi Kishimoto walked towards her and even took the initiative to assist her.
A happy and sweet smile appeared on Natsui Makoto’s face. Aside from the name, she was completely enjoying the love of a husband for his wife.
“Before you came, I also discussed with the lead surgeon once more about how to operate on me. It was an alternative.
A cesarean section would only be done in the event that I have a difficult labor. I still want a natural delivery. That way the child born will be as smart as you.” Natsui Makoto said seriously.
“I’m not quite sure if I’ll be able to accompany you when you give birth. I will be moving to Shanghai, China to talk about things.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said as he gave her a heads up in advance.
Natsui Makoto immediately showed some disappointment on her face. However, she rationally knew that her man’s business was important.
If it wasn’t for him making money outside, she wouldn’t have enjoyed such good treatment. Whether it was the doctor or the nurse, the service attitude was good beyond words.
Even if you are nagging, they will listen carefully. Not only that, their skills are also exquisite, after all, from the many applicants in the selection of the best.
The medical equipment is world-class. This private hospital targets a select group of people who are not rich or wealthy. They not only received those from within Japan, but also from abroad.
Masayoshi Kishimoto noticed the disappointment in her expression and said reassuringly, “After I finish my business, I will definitely return to Tokyo from Shanghai as soon as I can. This Shanghai is not too far from Tokyo. I naturally want to see the babies being born with my own eyes.”
“You don’t have to worry about me and the babies. In addition to the doctors and nurses here, there are also professional nutritionists, baby sitters.” Natsui Makoto was not able to make the mistake of dragging her man’s feet and said.
“If you feel lonely, you might want to call Uehara Tomomi to give you company. Or, you call your mom.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said in a serious manner.
“No need for that. I’m not that fragile. Don’t forget that I’m a wildflower on the side of the road, not a flower inside a greenhouse.
I’ve experienced all kinds of wind, sun, and rain. How could such a small matter be difficult for me?” Natsui Makoto said bluntly.
Masayoshi Kishimoto could see that she wasn’t pretending to be strong in front of herself. He knew in his heart that Natsui Makoto was a woman who was weak on the outside but strong on the inside.
This was completely inseparable from her upbringing from childhood. If she was truly a fragile woman, she would have either chosen to commit suicide or would have long since fallen into the ways of the world.
She was able to leave her hometown alone and travel to Tokyo to come to work. Her tenacity in living on a modest income, not being in debt, and being able to save some money is evident.
She has a positive outlook on the future and tries to make changes little by little. Not even in her own dreams did she think that her fate would change so completely.
“There’s one thing that I’ve never told you, hidden from you.” Natsui Makoto suddenly came out with this sentence and said.
Masayoshi Kishimoto was not the least bit nervous, instead he laughed immoderately and said, “Don’t you tell me only now that what you are carrying inside your belly is not my child, but another man’s.”
Natsui Makoto raised her other hand and hammered his forehead saying, “Nonsense.”
“I was just making a joke. Why do you really need to get annoyed?” Masayoshi Kishimoto said bluntly.
“All I’m saying is that I’ve been privately sending money to my mom back home there every month. As little as a few tens of thousands of yen, or as much as a hundred thousand yen.
It’s all with the money I earn from my part-time job on weekdays. Even when I was pregnant and didn’t go out to work, I used the money I had saved in the past.” Natsui Makoto said truthfully.
Masayoshi Kishimoto understood what she meant and said, “Sending money to your mom is also proper. I’ve heard you say that she’s a bitter woman, and it’s not easy for her all the same.
Even if you use the money I gave you to send to her, it’s perfectly fine. Who let her give me such a good daughter when she gave birth to her?”
“You really don’t mind?” Natsui Makoto said half-heartedly.
“Why would I mind? There wasn’t much money in the first place. Besides, it’s only natural for you women to save up a little bit of personal money to use for emergencies.
You as her daughter, she is your closest relative above this world, it’s not wrong to help out if you can.” Masayoshi Kishimoto put himself in his shoes and expressed his understanding.
Natsui Makoto was spoken to his heart and smiled like a flower, “I knew you were a good person.”
“Why don’t I think so? I’m not a good person in the traditional sense.” Masayoshi Kishimoto calmly said.
Natsui Makoto’s smile did not change as she said, “People who say they are bad people are often not bad people. It’s the truly bad people who don’t say they’re bad people, and commonly only say they’re good people.”
“Then, according to this one logical thought of yours, people who say they are good people are often not good people. It’s the truly good people who don’t say they’re good people, and generally only say they’re bad people.” Masayoshi Kishimoto laughed out loud.
Natsui Makoto also realized that there was a contradiction in her words and hurriedly explained, “The meaning I expressed was not the one you said. What I meant was that bad people don’t say they’re bad.”
“Then what exactly do you mean? And how many meanings do you mean? And what is the meaning you are trying to convey?
How am I supposed to know what you really mean if you don’t make your meaning clear?” Masayoshi Kishimoto deliberately began to wind her up.
When Natsui Makoto was being wound around like this, she repeated the word “meaning” inside her head, and became a bit confused.
