"Foolish child, do you still want to think less about this issue? However, his identity is indeed suspicious. If it weren't for your insistence, I wouldn't have allowed him to stay in my Yamamoto Family." The person who suddenly appeared, who knows whether he is a foe or an enemy.
Although the Yamaguchi-gumi is not as powerful as those in North America and the Italian Mafia, it still holds significant influence in Asia. The man before them was of unknown origin, and allowing him to easily reside in the Yamamoto Family was quite abrupt.
"Father, I believe he is a good person. He absolutely poses no threat to our Yamamoto Family. Besides, he is still unconscious and knows nothing!" Misa said excitedly as she grasped her father's hand. She had to be the first to see him when he woke up.
Yamamoto Kazuo sighed. His daughter was already in college; he could control her actions but not her heart. She had already placed her feelings on this inexplicably fallen man. Was this fate?
"Alright, alright, I was just saying that casually. Seeing how nervous you are, I believe this young man will wake up simply because of your heart!" He gently brushed her hair aside and smiled.
Misa's cheeks flushed instantly, and she lowered her head shyly. But when her gaze met the man's strong facial features, she felt an indescribable joy inside.
Suddenly, Misa thought she saw the man's tightly shut eyes tremble slightly. Her heart skipped a beat; could she have seen it wrong?
Holding her breath, she stared intently at the unconscious man on the bed and pulled her father closer, nervously asking, "Father, did you just see his eyelids move?"
"Well, it seems not..." Yamamoto Kazuo hadn't finished speaking when the man on the bed suddenly furrowed his brows tightly and clenched his fist. In the next moment, before anyone noticed, his closed eyes suddenly opened wide, directly meeting Misa's downward gaze.
"Ah..." Misa gasped; he was awake! He finally woke up...
"Someone! Quickly call for a doctor!" Yamamoto Kazuo, a man accustomed to big scenes, stood calmly aside and ordered someone to fetch a doctor immediately. This comatose patient had finally woken up and given her a sense of relief.
Their eyes met; Misa could only stare blankly at him, unsure of what to say.
He also stared intently at the woman before him, his mind blank. Who exactly was she? And who was he?
In the room, the doctor had thoroughly examined him. His body had recovered; he was just weak from lying in bed for so long. With some rest and nourishment, he would regain his strength without any major issues.
Misa stayed by his bedside, watching these unfamiliar people around him. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember where he was or who these people were—he didn't even know who he himself was.
"Doctor, since he is physically fine, why does he not remember anything?" Misa looked at him with concern and then turned to the doctor.
"Miss Misa, don't worry. He has been in a coma for so long and suffered serious injuries. His amnesia is only temporary. I believe he will gradually start to remember. Don't rush him; give him some time!" The doctor was packing up his things. After such a long coma, even he thought the man might never wake up. It was a miracle.
After everyone had left, Misa brought in the man's belongings from that day and sat by his bedside, handing him the items. "This is everything you had on you when I saved you, including the armor you were wearing. Take a look and see if it jogs any memories."
The man glanced at Misa before shifting his gaze to the armor in her hands. Weakly, he touched this belonging of his, but he couldn't find even a trace of memory.
Furrowing her brows, feeling his pain, Misa quickly moved closer to gently massage his temples while softly whispering, "Don't think about it too much. Just rest for a few days and let your body recover. Relax; I will stay by your side."
The man quietly closed his eyes. With Misa's close proximity, he could smell the rich scent emanating from him, causing her cheeks to flush slightly with shyness.
"Thank you; I feel much better!" A hoarse voice broke the silence as the man opened his eyes again. Misa withdrew her hand back to her original position.
Suddenly, the man noticed something strange next to the armor. Slowly reaching out, he picked it up—it was a jade pendant shaped like a dragon. Holding it in his hand, he felt a coolness that reached deep into his heart.
"This pendant is also yours; I think it must be very important to you." Seeing him grip it tightly, Misa quickly added, recalling that night when she saved him.
The man looked at her with questioning eyes, not understanding what she meant.
"That night, you fell from the sky and landed in front of my car. You were seriously injured and bleeding heavily. It wasn't until I brought you home that I noticed you were holding this pendant tightly in your hand. We had quite a struggle to get it out of your palm, so I believe it must mean a lot to you!"
Misa observed the warmth in his eyes as he looked at the pendant; it must be something very significant to him.
"I also feel like it's familiar, but I still can't recall anything at the moment." The man stared at the dragon shape on the pendant, furrowing his brow; every time he tried to think deeper about it, a sharp pain shot through his head.
"Just take good care of yourself these next few days. Once you're feeling better, take your time to think about it—don't be too anxious." Misa placed the armor on the table beside his bed. Hard work pays off; he had finally woken up.
The man nodded. In this unfamiliar place, he felt no sense of familiarity, but he could sense that this beautiful girl before him was kind-hearted.
"Thank you, Misa!" At the moment Misa was about to leave, she suddenly heard a hoarse voice behind her. Did he really know her name?
Turning around to look at him, her eyes sparkled with curiosity as she shyly asked, "I don't think I told you my name, did I?"
"The man in the white clothes just now called you Miss Misa, didn't he? Did I get it wrong? Isn't that your name?" The man wore a faint smile.
This kind and innocent girl saw his clean and beautiful face the moment he opened his eyes.
"Yes, that's my name. I'm Yamamoto Misa. I'm glad you remembered my name, hee hee!" Misa left with a smile, having just seen him smile at her.
Although it was just a light smile, it was so charming that she would keep that smile deep in her heart!
That night, the man looked out at the starry sky while holding the Dragon-Shaped Jade Pendant in his hand. Although he wanted to know who he was, thinking about this question made his head ache unbearably. However, he was certain that his name must contain the character for "dragon"!
There was another person who couldn't sleep that night. Misa also gazed at the starry sky. He finally woke up today, smiled at her again, and remembered her name. She felt so happy! So excited!
For three consecutive days, Misa personally took care of him. He confirmed that his name definitely had the character for "dragon," so Misa took the liberty of naming him Yamamoto Ryuichi!
"Long Yi, how are you feeling today?" Misa brought food to his room but found it empty upon entering.
Misa hurriedly set down the food and rushed out of the room to look for him. She grabbed a maid in the house and anxiously asked, "Where is Long Yi? Have you seen him come out?"
"Miss, don't worry. I saw Mr. Long Yi go to the garden with Master," the maid informed her. As soon as she finished speaking, Misa dashed toward the backyard like a gust of wind.
Yamamoto Kazuo was having tea with him in the garden. Long Yi felt grateful and respectful toward him since he was an elder and also Misa's father.
"Long Yi, it's fine if you can't remember things from before. Just stay peacefully with my Yamamoto Family from now on. I only have one daughter, Misa. Since she named you Yamamoto Ryuichi, it means she has already considered you part of our Yamamoto Family. If I were to leave one day, you must take good care of her!" Yamamoto Kazuo's words carried deeper meaning, but since Long Yi had just woken up, he couldn't say it too directly.
"Mr. Yamamoto, rest assured. Misa is my savior; no matter what happens in the future, I will take care of her." From now on, he was already Yamamoto Ryuichi and a member of this Yamamoto Family. As for Misa, she was like his sister; of course, he had the obligation to take care of his sister.
"Very well, with you by Misa's side in the future, I can rest easy!" Misa had always been his most cherished daughter, and now that there was a man like him around her, he naturally felt a lot less burdened.
The two men sat in the garden drinking tea when Misa hurried over. Seeing her father's affectionate expression, it seemed she had been overthinking things.
Her father was the leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi, and aside from being loving towards her, he was cold and distant to outsiders. She rushed over because she feared her father would make things difficult for Long Yi!
"What are you two talking about? I couldn't find you," Misa said as she personally poured tea for them. Seeing her father's smile, it appeared she had indeed worried for nothing.
Yamamoto Ryuichi understood his daughter's feelings. Looking at her blushing cheeks and the way she gazed at Long Yi, he knew what was on her mind.
"Long Yi has finally woken up; of course, he shouldn't be cooped up in his room all day. Getting some fresh air might help with his memory," Yamamoto Kazuo said, taking a sip of tea and looking at them in good spirits.
"Misa, I'm fine. I was just feeling restless in the room, so I came out for a walk. I happened to run into Mr. Yamamoto, and we decided to have tea together," Yamamoto Ryuichi quickly replied to reassure her.
The garden was filled with laughter, and Long Yi soon adapted to the environment. However, as for his true identity, he still had not remembered!
Wushuang sat bored by the window; her life had become dull and lifeless. During the day, she stayed alone in the house feeling gloomy, and at night, she had to deal with that unpredictable man.
Whenever he took off his mask, it made her catch her breath; this man was terrifying. Although he was gentle and doting towards her now, given his temperament, if he grew tired of her, she didn't know what kind of fate awaited her.
Rafas had just returned from visiting Annie. He specifically went to see what tricks she had been up to lately. However, seeing her lying on the bed covered in bruises, it seemed she wouldn't be pulling any stunts for a while.
