Chapter 497 Are you done?
"I just receive a call, my grandpa has been rushed to the hospital." She answered and Zaki was surprised. It looked like this was the reason why old man Zuzuki didn’t arrive at the party despite being one of the special guests.
"I’m going back to country J." she then added and Zaki gazed at her intently.
"Now?"
"Mm. I’m really worried about grandpa."
"Okay, I understand. I’ll take you to the airport."
Zaki said and the two quickly prepared to leave.
By the time they reached the airport, Hinari jumped on Zaki and she hugged him.
"Beauty, I’m leaving. I’ll be back as soon as everything is alright." She said. Hesitation was evident in her eyes so Zaki smiled and kissed her head.
"Mm. Don’t forget to call me when you get there." He replied but Hinari still didn’t let go and just hugged him like a sulky little child.
When Zaki was about to remind her that she was going to miss her flight if she didn’t leave now, Hinari’s hands suddenly wrapped around his neck and the next second, she straddled him and then slammed her lips to his.
Ryou and Kaide in front of the car quickly turned their heads to the front to avoid looking at the rear view mirror as the couple’s kiss behind them intensified.
Hinari kissed Zaki intensely and the man reciprocated with the same intensity. They kissed like they didn’t want to part at all until Kaide seemed to have had enough with this shameless couple and he cleared his throat.
"Miss Hinari, you’re going to miss your flight if you don’t go now. You only have a few minutes left." Kaide said and the two finally broke their kiss, causing the two single dogs in front to heave a sigh of relief.
"I’m going now, my love. See you soon, I love you." Hinari said as she hugged him again.
"Mm. See you... I-i love you." He whispered near her ear and Hinari finally moved. She kissed him one last time before she finally stepped out of the car.
Zaki just quietly stared outside through the window until Hinari disappeared from his view. He even ignored Kaide’s teasing like he heard nothing at all.
"Sigh... don’t you dare jump out of the car Mr. President. Don’t forget about your status." Kaide purposely made his voice louder, causing Zaki to finally turn to him.
"Who’s jumping out?" he said casually and the man in front simply smirked.
"Tch! Don’t deny it. You look like a kid who refuses to be separated with your mother right now, you know?" Kaide immediately replied in a mischievous tone but it looked like his teasing didn’t affect Zaki anymore.
"Let’s go." Zaki said, completely ignoring Kaide while Ryou laughed at Kaide before accelerating out of the carpark.

Xx Royal Hospital, Country J...
Hinari was sitting on a chair beside the old man’s bed. Her head was lying on her hand which was on the bedside as she slept in that position, when her sleep was disturbed by a certain someone’s voice.
"My, my. Look who’s here. The prodigal daughter is back!" A woman in her 50’s spoke sarcastically, causing Hinari to slowly rise. When she saw just how elegant and lavish her step mother looked, Hinari’s brows knotted.
"My dear step mother, are you on your way to some middle aged fashion event?" she asked and the woman’s expression turned ugly. Well, Hinari always knew how much this woman hated it when she referred to her age.
"What a bastard child ... is this how you greet your mother?!"
"Please lower your voice. Grandfather is ill so mind your manners."
"Heh! How dare you speak to me like that when you are only here because father is ill. I bet you are thinking about gaining more favor from him so came flying in a flash! Or you might even already planning to force him to write his last will right? What a scheming bitch. No wonder your own father disowned you."
"Are you done?"
Hinari’s gaze and voice turned as cold as ice. When she arrived last night, she was shocked to find out that her grandfather was in a critical condition. But what angered her was that no one among the old man’s so called family was with him. It was the Zuzuki family’s butler and his guard who were the ones waiting watching the old man and now, this woman came here dressed like she was going to some fashion show and spouting idiotic words?!
"Dear step mother, have you ever heard about the saying ’out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh’? Just so you know, grandfather already wrote his last will long time ago."
