After Karasuma Renya left, in order to find out the secret of the "medical research project" in his mouth, Kokarasuma went to the hospital where Keiko Hatoyama was located again.

By the time she returned, the boy had already left.

After all, he rushed back from the scene of the crime in a hurry after receiving the news, and it was estimated that it was Sister Keiko who "pushed" him away.

Kokarsuma didn't know if the boy and Sister Keiko had said anything after she left, but he thought that it shouldn't be, after all, that wood had always been weak in front of Sister Keiko, and seeing Sister Keiko crying like that, even if he had something to say, he probably wouldn't have spoken.

The hospital was deserted again, and there were several criminal police officers patrolling the corridor outside, and perhaps Japanese police officers in plain clothes were hidden......

"Sister Keiko?"

The room was very quiet, and when Kokumara opened the door and came in, Keiko Hatoyama was sitting quietly on the hospital bed, flipping through a book in her hand.

"Karasuma-chan?"

Hearing this, Keiko Hatoyama turned her head to look at it, with a look of surprise on her face.

"Didn't you go back before? How did you come back again? ”

"I ...... There's something I'd like to ask you......"

With some squirming, Karasuma stepped forward and sat down on the chair next to him.

"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Keiko Hatoyama also closed the book in her hand.

"That's it...... I saw the head of the house when I came home before......"

Hesitating and not knowing how to speak, Karasuma hesitated several times, but finally decided to be more direct.

"The head of the family told me that before the Hatoyama family and the Karasuma family, there seemed to be a very important ...... Medical Research Project ......"

Keiko Hatoyama didn't expect that what Karasuma wanted to ask would be this......

"You know all about me?"

After a brief silence, Keiko Hatoyama asked rhetorically.

She was referring to her physical condition, of course.

"Well, the head of the house also knows something, and he told me when I went back......"

Kokarsuma subconsciously lowered his head and avoided Keiko Hatoyama's gaze.

She suddenly realized a problem at this moment, in order not to let the people around her worry too much about herself, Keiko Hatoyama's real physical condition, she has always tried to hide it as much as possible.

So, how did Karasuma Renya know about this? And you know it so well?

Only then did Karasuma realize that this must not be simple......

And Keiko Hatoyama must be aware of this, but she didn't ask Kokarsuma any closer because of this, nor did she talk about her physical condition, but pulled the topic of the two back to where Kokarsuma wanted to talk about.

"Little Karasuma, that medical research project, the head of the Karasuma family...... How much did you say to you? Keiko Hatoyama asked.

"The head of the family didn't say it in detail, he just told me that this is an epoch-making research project that can benefit mankind, and that it is the only hope that can cure Sister Keiko, but Sister Keiko, you have been preventing this research project from going on, and the head of the family still wants me to persuade you to ......"

Xiao Karasuma replied truthfully, and when she said this, she hurriedly waved her hand and said:

"Of course! I didn't intend to do what the head of the house said! I still believe in your choice, Sister Keiko! It's just that...... I also want to know what exactly this research project is......"

"Karasuma, I'm so anxious to explain, but when I'm being interrogated, it's easy to be suspicious of the police?"

"I—I mean it!"

"Okay, I'll tease you."

After smiling and teasing Kokarsuma and relieving the tension on her body, Keiko Hatoyama's originally smiling face gradually became solemn.

"There is one thing he really didn't say wrong about this research project in the mouth of the head of the Karasuma family...... For now, it may indeed be the only cure for me, if...... If I can make it until the day it's finished......"

It takes a lot of courage to say this sentence in person, because it is equivalent to admitting in disguise the fact that there is actually no cure......

[There are only five years left at most......]

Karasuma Renya's words resurfaced in Kokarasuma's mind at this moment.

The person in front of her is very aware of her situation, she has not been deceived in any way, nor does she have any luck psychology, her future has already been completely decided.

Five years, and that's still last year's forecast.

Sister Keiko knows this very well in her heart, very well.

It is precisely because of this that Karasuma wonders, in such a situation, when Sister Keiko herself admits that the "medical research project" in Karasuma Renya's mouth may be the only thing that can save her, why would she choose to refuse? What prompted her to make this choice?

"It's just that it's not a good thing."

Keiko Hatoyama spoke, and the words that she was dying did not seem to have any effect on her mood.

There was no gloom, no resentment, no sadness on her face...... Only dignified.

Kokarsuma can understand that, at least at this moment, Sister Keiko is not thinking about her condition, she only has worries in her heart, worries about the so-called "medical research project".

It's just that although Kokarasuma noticed this at this moment, he didn't think deeply about the deep meaning of Keiko Hatoyama's performance.

Keiko Hatoyama at this moment is the only time she has shown in the last stage of her life, the only time without any concealment, the most real her.

Later, Sharon thought countless times that if she had realized this at the time, maybe she would have realized the shackles that Keiko Hatoyama had left for her and Shirakawa Kiyoshi earlier......

"It is indeed epoch-making and can indeed benefit mankind...... It's just that that's not all of humanity. ”

In a simple sentence, Keiko Hatoyama answered most of the doubts in Kokarasuma's heart.

A medical research project that can only benefit some of humanity, but not all of humanity.

Combined with the status of these big families, although Keiko Hatoyama did not clearly explain, Kokarsuma had already roughly guessed what it was.

It shocked her beyond measure.

"Kokarasuma."

At this moment, Keiko Hatoyama turned her head to look at Kokarasuma, and the expression on her face became more and more solemn.

"Promise me not to get involved in this."

This is the first time that Kokarsuma has seen such a serious expression on Keiko Hatoyama's face.

This may seem like a persuasion, but it may also be understood as a warning.

"Hmm!" She nodded hurriedly and responded to Keiko Hatoyama very affirmatively.

"Thank you......" Keiko Hatoyama immediately smiled when she got her answer.

"Sister Keiko'......"

At this time, I suddenly remembered the Japanese public security officer I had seen at Hatoyama's house during the day, and Xiao Karasuma frowned and asked tentatively:

"The Japanese police officer I saw this morning, is he ...... Something to do with the head of the house? ”
