Chapter 876 When will he come to visit me?
After school, Ran Mouri returned home and looked at Conan. "Conan, do you know what happened to Kawasaki? Today, the teacher said that his family helped him withdraw from school."
Conan paused for a moment upon hearing this, "He..."
He wanted to speak but hesitated, yet he still wanted to speak.
"Huh?" Ran Mouri looked at him in confusion.
Conan scratched his head, but ultimately didn't reveal the truth.
"I don't know either, because our class teacher said today that Zhenzhi dropped out of school. Maybe she went back to her previous school."
Seeing his puzzled expression, Ran Mouri was half-convinced.
But she didn't press the matter further, because she knew that no matter how much she asked, Conan wouldn't tell her.
"I see... So, Conan, what would you like to eat for dinner tonight? I'll prepare the ingredients."
Conan thought for a moment, "Fish, I guess."
"Okay." Ran Mouri smiled, grabbed her reusable bag and wallet, and headed out to the supermarket.
The days passed peacefully for a few days.
Kita Aya Otoko's research on the potion has also made considerable progress. In just a few days, several finished products have been produced, but she has been hesitant to use the potion directly on Kawasei Machi.
During this time, in addition to Conan and his friends frequently visiting Machi, the culprit Take would also come to visit every two days, leaving after his visit without lingering.
As usual, Conan arrived at the hospital with Ai Haibara and the others around 7 p.m.
After they entered the hospital, another figure appeared outside.
"This is... the private hospital of the Kita Aya family?"
Ran Mouri looked up at the name of the hospital and murmured softly.
She frowned slightly and wondered to herself, "Could something have really happened to Chuan Sheng and the others?"
She stopped guessing, stepped into the hospital, and asked the nurse behind the counter, "Excuse me, could you tell me where that gentleman with the two children went?"
The nurse looked up at her with an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry, miss, I can't tell you directly, but if you are that gentleman or a friend of the patient, please wait here for a moment while I call the phone in the ward."
Ran Mouri thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded politely, "Okay, thank you for your help."
"It's no trouble at all."
After Ran Mouri sat down in the waiting area, just as the nurse was about to pick up the microphone, a voice came through.
"Miss Mori?"
Ran Mouri looked up and saw Aya Kita walking towards her, supported by Percy.
She quickly stood up and greeted them.
"Young Master Bei Ling, Miss Percy, hello."
Percy nodded slightly to her, glanced around to make sure she was alone, and then asked considerately, "Miss Mori, why are you here all alone?"
Ran Mouri was slightly embarrassed.
She can't exactly say she followed Conan and the others here, can she?
"You've come to see Trump?"
At this moment, Kita Aya Otoko, who had been quiet all along, suddenly spoke up. Although it was a question, there was no doubt in her tone.
Ran Mouri was taken aback.
Kawasaki Satoshi? Kawasaki Satoshi, Masahiro?
Although she didn't know what had happened, she nodded. Remembering that Kita Ayane was blind, she quickly added, "Yes, but I don't know which ward he's in, so I'd like to trouble you, nurse, to ask him."
Kita Ayane nodded to indicate that she understood.
Percy understood and smiled slightly at Ran Mouri, "Miss Mouri, let us take you there."
"Oh, okay, thank you."
Ran Mouri realized what was happening and followed them in small steps.
Seeing that she was no longer needed, the nurse naturally put the microphone back.
So much so that none of the people in the ward noticed Ran Mouri's arrival.
When they saw Kita Ayane and Mouri Ran.
them:"......"
Ai Haibara glanced at Conan subtly: "You didn't even know you were being followed?"
Conan: ......
I held onto a sliver of hope, but for some reason, I didn't really notice it.
Kawasaki Machi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved to Ran Mouri, "Ran-neechan, you've come to see me too!"
Looking at the somewhat thinner Kawasato Machi, Mouri Ran was stunned, then felt a pang of heartache. "Machi, how are you now?"
"I'm doing great right now," said Machi Kawasaki with a smile, her eyes curving like crescent moons.
Ran Mouri looked him over several times and saw that he was only slightly thinner and otherwise seemed to be in good condition, which reassured her a little.
Ignoring Conan who wanted to ask questions, she moved closer to greet Liu Qingyao and the others, then looked at Machi with a slightly apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, Machi, I arrived a bit suddenly and didn't have time to prepare anything."
"It's okay! I'm so glad that Sister Xiaolan came to visit me, otherwise I would be so bored!"
Wearing a hospital gown, Kawasaki Machi sat cross-legged on the hospital bed, looking very well-behaved and cute.
Ran Mouri couldn't help but smile slightly and reached out to rub his little head.
However, after a moment, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
She looked around the ward with a puzzled expression. "Huh? That's strange, why isn't Chuan Sheng here?"
When Makoto is sick and hospitalized, it's impossible for Kawasaki Masashi not to be by his side.
After she asked the question, the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.
Ran Mouri was somewhat surprised, and then became a little nervous.
Oh no.
Upon hearing this, Kawasaki Machi's expression became somewhat blank. "Brother? Brother... Brother... he..."
"He went to the United States to take care of family matters," Liu Qingyao calmly replied to Zhenzhi.
Xiao Zhenzhi's eyes lit up, and she nodded seriously. "Yes! That's right, my brother went to take care of something, he didn't die! They were all lying to me before!"
"......"
Before she could even catch her breath, Ran Mouri suddenly stiffened and turned her head with difficulty to look at Machi Kawasaki, who was smiling brightly and smugly swinging her little feet.
"I..." Ran Mouri opened her mouth, her eyes brimming with self-reproach, and she tried to apologize in a flustered manner: "I'm so sorry..."
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Liu Qingyao shake her head slightly and then put her index finger to her lips to make a shushing gesture.
Ran Mouri silently shut her mouth and nodded slightly.
While secretly pleased, Kawasaki Machi suddenly remembered something and looked up at Liu Qingyao, "By the way, speaking of my brother, when is he coming to visit me?"
Liu Qingyao gently patted his head and coaxed him with a smile, "He'll be back soon. He'll be back after he finishes his business. The most important thing now is for you to be a good boy and not make Zhenliu worry, okay?"
“Okay!” Kawasaki Machi nodded obediently.
Soon, there was a knock on the door.
The doctor, wearing a mask, looked at Machi Kawakita and said, "The patient needs to go to the chemotherapy room next."
