Supreme Master In The Apocalypse - Chapter 93 His Visitors
Hugo hurriedly ran inside to meet his sister. When Hailey saw who was coming, her face instantly lit up. All the worry in her expression vanished, getting replaced by happiness.
“Brother!” she loudly cried out as she got off her bed. She raised both of her arms and hugged Hugo, even though he was in a wheelchair.
“Hi there,” Hugo showed a big smile on his face. He caressed Hailey’s cheeks softly trying to see if it was healed already.
“How are you?” He softly asked Hailey. ‘My poor sister, she must have been blaming herself for what happened.’
“I’m sorry brother…” Hailey uttered in a low voice. She hid her face using her tiny hands and in there she sob loudly. “If I didn’t want to go to the amusement park, then this wouldn’t have happened to you!’
Hugo chuckled as he tilted his head to the side. “Stop blaming yourself.” She pulled Hailey’s hands away from her face. “We didn’t like what happened, alright?” he assured her.
“Now, what have you been eating these past few days?” He raised his brows.
Hailey pouted. “I have been eating a lot, brother!” she glanced over at Hitano. “Ask father and he will tell you the truth!”
Hugo glanced over at his father to confirm what Hailey said. Hitano nodded his head.
“Your sister has been worried about you for a week already. You should make up for it.” A smile appeared on Hitano’s lips seeing that his only son was now fine. They really got worried these past few days.
“You and your sister should talk for a while. I will just talk with your father first.” Verda patted Hugo’s back. She pushed the wheelchair closer to Hailey’s bed before leaving them two alone.
When they finally got outside, Verda held unto Hitano’s hands tightly. “We should not tell the both of them about what happened a day ago…” she uttered in a low voice that almost turned into a whisper.
Hitano’s forehead creased. “Why? We should inform them so they can take care of themselves next time. Hiding that thing will only make everything worse in the future.” he countered trying to reason it out.
However, Verda was firm with what she wanted. “Can you just do that for me? I’m already scared to mention that again…” her hands trembled.
Seeing how the topic could affect her wife, Hitano instantly nodded as he took Verda’s hands pulling her closer to him. “I understand,” he hugged her tightly, trying to give her some comfort.
Even in their age right now, it was still important for a married couple to communicate with each other. When Verda remembered that they have another problem to come now that Hugo was awake, she couldn’t help but feel demotivated.
“Now that Hugo is fine,” she paused for a while and sighed. “Where can we get the money to pay for all of this? We only have a little bit of money saved up that we hid for Abigail’s university money in the future.”
“How much do we have so far?” Hitano breathed out. It was now slowly sinking into his mind how healthcare was very expensive in their place.
“I’ll try to find a way,” he smiled to reassure Verda that everything will be alright. “Let’s go back now or else they will probably be worried about us.” his smile became wider as he led them back to the room.
Both of them couldn’t dare look vulnerable in front of their children. A smile appeared on their lips as they finally went inside.
“What are you two doing, huh?” he joked around as he went closer to them.

Hailey chuckled and energetically clapped her hands. “Brother said that he is fine already!” she smiled widely. The burden that was on her shoulders vanished into thin air.
Hugo lightly tapped Hailey’s head. “I am fine but I heard from mother that you have been sulking for a week already.” he crossed his arms and raised his brows.
Hailey pouted as she rolled her eyes. “That was all in the past! What matters now is the present.” She tried counterattacking.
But when Hugo remembered that he still haven’t asked Hailey about how she was right now, his eyes immediately turned cold.
“Hailey, tell me honestly, what happened when we were in the park?” his smile dropped, gesturing to Hailey that it was a serious question that she should answer.
Hailey played with her fingers. She scratched the back of her head before answering.
“I saw an old man on our side who was having a hard time trying to reach his glasses on the ground, so I tried to help… but I didn’t know that there were bad guys on the side!” she clearly recalled what happened that time.
“I was just trying to be nice, brother.” she repeatedly nodded her head trying to persuade Hugo.
“I know.”
Hugo was glad that Hailey hadn’t gotten traumatized by what happened. ‘My sister is truly a survivor.’ he smiled.

“I’m glad you’re okay now” Abigail exclaimed. She was on Hugo’s left side, sitting in a chair that was designated for the visitors.
She got here earlier a few hours ago when she heard the news that Hugo was conscious already.
“This is a rice porridge with chicken pieces and a boiled egg.” She pointed out the glass bowl in front of Hugo. Hugo’s family was away to give them both their space.
Hugo smiled and nodded. He slowly picked up the spoon beside it, eating a spoonful amount of the food. The hot porridge sends chills all over to his body. Now that he recalled it, it was his first time eating a food since he woke up.
The relaxing heat filled his stomach. He got full in an instant after he finished the bowl of porridge.
“You’re like a nurse, did you know that?” he chuckled as Abigail gave her a cup of fresh juice.
“And what is this?”
“You should drink this,” She instructed Hugo.
“What is this first?” he asked back. He took a smell of the juice and he instantly regretted it.
“You!”
Abigail chuckled. “Dumbo, that’s fresh juice made from fresh green leaves. My mother made that one. Drink it or else I will tell you.” She threatened.

Even if he was confused, Hugo just obliged her command to drink the juice. He almost threw up after drinking it. It had a really bitter taste!
“What is this” My brows furrowed, drinking a lot of water to aid the aftertaste.
He heard Abigail’s loud laughing while looking at his reaction. “That will help you get better sooner, so don’t complain about it. Okay?” She rolled her eyes, silently laughing.
“How many times should I take it?” Hugo asked her, suddenly feeling enlightened by the information given to him. If this could help him regain his strength in a much faster way, then he would do anything to do it.
“2 times a day.” She smiled, showing her two fingers.
Hugo’s mouth dropped, looking back and forth at the juice and to Abigail’s fingers. He heard her laughing behind his back. And with that kind of laugh, he knew that Abigail was making fun of him.
“Don’t worry, I’ll bring you sweets to counter the aftertaste of it,” she smiled, wiggling her brows to tease him more. “I’m really glad you’re okay now. ” She move closer beside Hugo and placed her head on my left shoulder.
“Maybe we can continue the thing that we did in the cinema once you’re fine already,” Abigail hinted as her fingers trailed on Hugo’s shoulers.
Hearing it, the sides of Hugo’s lips rose up. “So that’s why you are here, huh?” he teased, trying to get back at her teasing earlier.
Abigail’s cheeks reddened. She quickly removed her hands from Hugo’s shoulders, glaring at him. “It was your fault!” she declared.
“And why is it my fault?” His brows shot up before adjusting the way he seat. He leaned against the side comfortably since he could feel his back aching whenever he moves.
“Because you made it feel too good!” She puffed her cheeks. “And don’t look at me like that.” she looked away, trying to avoid Hugo’s gaze.
“You’re cute when you act like that,: He commended her which made Abigail’s whole face blush.
“You are doing this on purpose, aren’t you?” she stood up and pointed her hand at him.
Hugo chuckled as he raised one of his hands. “I don;t know what you are talking about.” he smiled innocently.
“Y-YOU—!”
Abigail’s words were cut off when the door suddenly opened. Verda steadily walked inside. She warily smiled when she saw them.
“Auntie!” Abigail mentioned her name in an alarming state. She quickly bowed her head to apologize for raising her voice.
“That’s alright, Abigail.” Verda smiled before her eyes set on Hugo.
You have another visitor waiting outside.” She blurted out which made Hugo confused.
“Who?”
“It was Lilianne.”
