Battle For Love- Discovery

"I don't know how much time I have left. You've been here the whole night, you should go back now." Cagalli chocked out.
"But..." Mir was about to argue, but was too tired.
"See, you didn't even get any sleep. I'll be fine." Cagalli persuaded Mir.
"Well...I guess. Okay, but I'll be back soon." Mir got up from her chair.
"Bye." Cagalli coughed out.
"Later." Mir waved.
While Mir exited the hospital door she just realized that she totally forgot about Dearka. She was still pretty shocked about the discovery that Dearka was actually Athrun's partner in business, but there were bigger matters at the moment and anyways he was still very sweet.
As Mir unlocked the car her cell phone rang.
"Hello?" Mir answered the call.
"Hey Milly, this is Dearka. What happened? I went to your place, the door was unlocked and you and Cagalli weren't even there.
"Well...maybe I'll fill you in on everything when I get back." Mir replied.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you." Dearka said being quite confused.
"I'll be right there." Mir said and hung up.

"Mr. Zala, we found Mr. Elthman and have been following him. He seems to have stopped. What do you want us to do now?" The head bodyguard asked.
"Where is it?" Athrun questioned.
"It's hard to explain sir. The street signs are pretty worn out." The bodyguard replied hoping that he wouldn't get scolded.
"Well then get one of your men to bring me there!" Athrun yelled and hung up.
"Ugh...I'm always getting yelled at." The bodyguard sighed.
"Hey you over there! Pick up Mr. Zala and bring him here." The head bodyguard ordered some random bodyguard.

Mir arrived back at her house and got out of her car.
"You're here!" Dearka yelled popping out of nowhere.
"Where's Cagalli?" Dearka asked just noticing her absence.
"She's in the hospital right now." Mir answered sadly.
"What?" Dearka screamed.
"Calm down." Mir said as she made her way into her house.
"Why is she in the hospital?" Dearka followed Mir.
"Her heart condition...Cagalli is going to die." Mir answered as tears were rolling down her face.
Dearka stood frozen solid with shock.
"How did this happen?" Dearka couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"Yesterday night she was unconscious, so I took her to the hospital...the doctor said that her heart condition is getting more severe...there's not much time left for her." Mir couldn't help but collapse on Dearka crying on his shoulder.
He wrapped Mir tightly in his arms and tried holding back his tears.
Normally Dearka would do something perverted to her, but all he could think of was to comfort her and hold back from bursting into tears himself.
Mir felt a bit better and gently pulled out of Dearka's arms.
"Thank you." Mir forced a smiled.
"No problem." Dearka also returned a smile, but was filled with sadness.

"This is the place Mr. Zala." The low class bodyguard opened the door of the limousine for Athrun.
Athrun stepped out and straightened his suit.
"I'm going in alone." Athrun ordered.
"But shouldn't we go with you?" The head asked as he stepped in front of Athrun.
"Like I said, I'm going in alone. I don't want anyone coming in unless I tell you to. Got it?" Athrun asked, but was intended as more of an order.
"Yes sir." The head bodyguard said reluctantly.

"Where is Cagalli? I want to go see her." Dearka asked.
Before she could answer the door bell rang.
"Who could that be?" Mir thought as she opened the door.
"Athrun!" Dearka gasped.
Athrun was going to greet Dearka, but something on the floor caught his attention.
He deliberately walked into the house knocking Dearka out of his way and crawled down to find a bottle of pills. Athrun then reached into his own pocket and took out the exact same bottle with the exact same contents in it. He examined both bottles and they had the exact company name labeled on it, the pills were the same color, size, shape, they were identical. These things did not shock Athrun much, but who the medicine was printed for, did.
"Cagalli Yula Attha." Athrun read out loud.
"What's going on here?" Athrun inquired raising one of his eyebrows.
Dearka and Mir looked at each other worriedly.
"What's going on here?" Athrun raised his voice.
Dearka and Mir still remained silent.
"Tell me now!" Athrun yelled as he angrily pushed the phone off the table.
"Okay, you want to know the truth?" Dearka screamed back as he grabbed onto Athrun's collar.
"But Dearka-" Mir was about to object, but got interrupted by Dearka.
"Milly, we have to tell him!" Dearka slightly raised his voice at Mir.
Mir knew what Dearka was going through, so she decided to stay quiet.
Dearka turned his attention back to Athrun and was still holding onto Athrun's collar tightly.
"Let me put this in simpler terms. Cagalli came to earth in order to look for you, but gave up for some reason. Just a while ago she was found unconscious by her friend Milly, and was taken to the hospital. It seems...it seems...her heart condition is getting more severe...she's going to die." Dearka explained, but had a hard time telling the last part.
Athrun was trying to get everything sorted out in head. He felt his knees growing weak. It felt as though the layer of ice that was surrounding his heart all these years was melting.
Dearka finally let go of Athrun. As soon as he let go, Athrun fell on his knees as tears were forming in his eyes.
"Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" Athrun asked between breaths.
"I've only met Cagalli for a while, but during this time I learned that she is a very strong person and if there was a problem she would always keep it to herself, so other people won't worry about her. She didn't want us to tell you, because Cagalli didn't want you to worry about her and even if you were back together she doesn't have much time left and it would only hurt you more." Mir answered as she looked down.
"I want to see her. Where is she?" Athrun wiped his tears trying to stay strong.
"I'll bring you there." Mir took out her car keys.
"Hey I'm going to!" Dearka complained.
"Okay, okay." Mir walked out the door.
When they walked out, there were at least 50 bodyguards outside waiting.
"Go home." Dearka yelled at them and entered Mir's car.
"But..." The head bodyguard was about to argue, but they already left.
"AH! I can't take this! I quit!" He yelled in frustration and walked grumpily in the opposite direction.

Athrun slowly turned the doorknob to Cagalli's hospital room. He opened the door and peered at the sleeping figure lying on the bed.
"All these years...we finally meet again." Athrun forced out a smiled and held her hand tightly between his.
"Athrun?" Cagalli opened her eyes, not believing her sight.
"Is this a dream?" Cagalli asked in fatigue.
"No, this is reality." Athrun answered as tears were running down his face.
