Chapter 601 - LEGAL GUARDIAN
Chapter 601 - LEGAL GUARDIAN
Wang Che could feel the evil intentions emanating from the Eldest Brother. However, he did not respond to the provocation. Instead, he lowered his head to rearrange the hospital beddings around Shun. His movements were efficient and without a hint of awkwardness.
Shun did not reject the help. In fact, he accepted it as if it was his right.
"Shun, how do you feel about staying with me after you leave the hospital?" Eldest Brother spoke up with an earnest gaze at Shun.
Wang Che looked up and levelled a sharp gaze at the man. He knew that the Eldest Brother had some wicked plans, but he did not expect him to try something so quickly. The two people stared at each other, and hostility and electricity crackled in the air.
Among the three brothers, the Eldest Brother was the one who was most attached to Shun. While the others were obsessed with their little brother, they were content watching him from afar. As long as they could get a few photos of him regularly, they were happy.
However, the Eldest Brother had long been unhappy with Shun's move to Supreme City. He believed that Shun should remain with his family. It would be best if his brother could live with him.
In any case, his wife and his children had long been indoctrinated into the cult of Shun being a rare and magical fairy. They would only be too happy to see Shun around all the time.
When Shun moved to Supreme City, the Eldest Brother blamed Zhong Feng. Without him, Shun would have probably returned home immediately after a few weeks of freedom. Zhong Feng provided support, allowing Shun to thrive in a foreign place.
When Zhong Feng lost his girlfriend, he did not have time to watch over Shun. At the time, the Eldest Brother was sure that their sweet baby would return home. But a new monster called Wang Che swooped in and took over.
"What are you going on about?" The Third Brother asked. "Shun lives-"
The Eldest Brother cut off his idiot sibling before he could reveal anything important. "At the moment, Shun does not have his memories. Right now, he cannot reinsert himself into his normal life. It would be best if he stayed with his family."
The Eldest Brother gave his siblings a meaningful glare. It took a moment, but they both understood the meaning. It was a chance for Shun to return home. In other words, the move to Mountain Ridge from Supreme City could be permanent.
The Furukawa couple also saw the light. They liked Wang Che, but they could not deny that they would like to have Shun around all the time. Plus, it was not like Wang Che could not move to Mountain Ridge too.
After all, the two of them had lived in the city for over a year, and everything was perfect. It was not a problem to keep things as they were before the accident.
"Do not talk about me as if I am not here," Shun said with annoyance. "I will be leaving the hospital alone."
The Furukawa family were heartbroken by the dismissive behaviour of their angel. However, they were not easy opponents. They did not believe that they could be outsmarted by Shun, especially when he did not have his memories.
And it was not like they were acting purely out of selfish self-interest.
Their goal was to protect Shun during this vulnerable period. If he did not recover his memories, he would be in the loving embrace of his family. And if he recovered his memories, he would remember their support and choose to stay in Mountain Ridge.
The five pairs of the now united family looked at Shun with fervour.
"My dear baby, you cannot stay alone while you have no memories. Everything has changed around you. Let your mother take care of you." Sara said with a gentle smile.
"Right now, you should be most familiar with your childhood home. It is the safest and most comfortable place for you." Kenta echoed his wife.
The Eldest Brother was a little annoyed because it was his idea. However, he decided to let things go for now. As long as Shun was in Mountain Ridge, he would find a way to kidnap him.
"Where do I live at the moment?" Shun asked.
The Furukawa family was tongue-tied. They were not sure about what they should say or not say. When Shun returned to Mountain Ridge, he stayed in a hotel. He claimed that he did not want to abandon Wang Che alone in a strange place. After all, he was helping him with Clarion Extreme.
When the Summit Residences were completed, the two of them moved to the penthouse. That was where Shun had lived for a few months, only staying with his parents and brothers occasionally. But they did not want him to know about these details for now.
Wang Che looked at them with some amusement in his eyes.
"That is not important." The Eldest Brother spoke quickly. "You need to remember that right now, you will not be safe on your own. You are suffering from a serious problem. Even the doctors will not release you if you will be alone."
Shun was evaluating the information when Dr Nishimura Hina entered the room. She was not surprised to see the large family before her. She greeted them calmly, ignoring the tension in the room.
"Dr Hina, tell Shun that he cannot be on his own while he has memory loss." The Second Brother said quickly. "There must be rules to protect patients, right?"
Hina understood what was going on. She knew that the Furukawa family was very protective of Shun, to the point of being a nuisance in the hospital.
"You are correct. Shun is suffering from dissociative amnesia, so he is not competent enough to be on his own until his memories are restored, or he learns to be independent without the missing memories." She said calmly.
The entire Furukawa family sighed in relief. They remembered that five years ago, their relationship with Shun was not great. If they did not have the doctor's support. Shun might make good on his threat and leave alone.
As long as they had a chance, they could repair the relationship with Shun. With the knowledge they accumulated about their grownup baby in the past year, they were confident that they could make Shun happy enough to live in Mountain Ridge forever.
"So you will release my baby to our custody?" Sara was beside herself with joy, her eyes shining.
Hina sighed as she prepared to deliver a piece of news that everyone in the Stillwater Medical Research Institute had avoided telling the Furukawa family. It was agreed that this piece of news would not be spoken until it was completely necessary.
It looked like she had drawn the short straw.
"Shun can only be released to his legal guardian," Hina said.
"That should be us," Kenta said with confidence. "He is not married. In this situation, I believe that his closest family members are his parents."
Hina braced herself. "In a normal situation, this would be the case. But as it turns out, Shun has a springing durable power of attorney."
"What?" The entire Furukawa family was horrified. The implications of a legal document assigning all of Shun's rights to another person were not minor. The thought was too terrible to comprehend. They could not believe Shun would do something so careless.
"Wang Che is his legal guardian." Hina drove in the final nail.
