Chapter 553: Boredom
In the next few days, many people visited him after finding that he had returned home. Be it the neighbors next door or his old friends, he had to deal with many people.
Some local reporters wanted to interview him.
Fortunately, his mother came to his aid as he scared them away. Who knows how many more people would have shown up if it wasn't for her?
To sum it all up, Hiro's days were rather hectic.
Just like that while dealing with the people, several days passed. Although the absence of his father dampened the atmosphere of the house.
The sun, a blazing sphere hung high in the azure heaven illuminating the surface with its majestic radiance. A few wisps of clouds of different shapes and sizes floated freely in the vacant space.
At this moment, Hiro was seated cross-legged on the floor. His gaze was fixated on the world outside the window.
'They must be training right now.'
He thought while dazedly staring at the azure heaven.
Even though he had promised his mother that he wouldn't think about playing until the doctors cleared him, he couldn't stop thinking about football. After all, it was the only thing that he was interested in.
So, how could he possibly bring himself to divert his thoughts elsewhere?
'Akashi and others would probably be in school.'
Being alone, he couldn't help but wander his thoughts.
'Just what should I do? I never thought that it'd get this boring.'
At this moment, Hiro realized that he had no other interests besides football. He didn't even have a hobby other than football.
Even he couldn't bring himself to deny that he was the epitome of what people call a dull person.
Hence, he counted multiple times to check if he had seen it wrongly. But it didn't matter how many times he counted, the amount remained the same.
Panic gripped his heart as he confirmed the figure on the screen.
He was well aware that much of the money had been spent on hospital bills. But even so, if he counted all that spent money, he couldn't bring himself to believe that he only had about 22 million yen left in his account.
Considering how much he earned through brand endorsements and the salary he got from the club, even if he had spent a lump sum on his father's recovery, he still should have much more money than this.
"Mom couldn't have spent it all, could she?" he couldn't help but link the disappearance of the money to his mother.
After all, she was the one who managed his accounts.
Even Ayumi and Eric weren't aware of it.
So, how come he had so little money? It just didn't make sense to him.
Then he checked the statement history. A substantial amount was deducted for tax and the rest his mother had invested on a fixed deposit.
It seemed that rather than losing money, he was gaining instead.
Seeing that he hadn't lost any of his money, he felt relieved at the same time he couldn't help but lampoon, "You fool. How could you doubt your mother?"
Again, he found something strange, "But wait a minute... It seems like the money that I have earned until now hasn't been touched yet. So, who paid for Dad's medical bill?"
As the realization struck him, he felt extreme guilt, "Don't tell me mom paid the expense out
of her pocket?"
He always had the impression that his mother was a money grubber.
But it seems that he had the wrong impression.
As he thought about it, a feeling of guilt welled inside him, making him feel hollow from the inside. To have such a wrong impression of his own mother, how could he bring himself to
call him her son?
