тАЬHe probably would have been able to cough it up on his own,тАЭ Jared mumbled.

тАЬPlease tell me,тАЭ Kara said politely.

тАЬItтАЩs not that big a deal,тАЭ Jared protested.

Ishiguro ignored him. тАЬThere he was, my poor Yoshi, gagging and turning blue and staggering and we
pounded on his back and prayed an ambulance would come, when Dr. Dean leaped from his chair, over
the tableтАФтАЭ

тАЬI didnot .тАЭ

тАЬтАФand with a squeeze of his mighty armsтАФтАЭ

тАЬFor GodтАЩs sake.тАЭ

тАЬтАФforced the offending fish from my sonтАЩs throat. Ah! He breathed, he lived, he is first in his class at
Harvard Business, he is married and his lovely wife is pregnant with my first grandchild.тАЭ Ishiguro
stopped and looked at Jared admiringly. тАЬAll because of Dr. Dean. So.тАЭ

Kara looked at Jared. тАЬIтАЩm betting lunch is on the house.тАЭ

Jared nodded unhappily. тАЬCome on, Ish, youтАЩve given me enough free meals, youтАЩve probably cost
yourself a thousand bucks in foodтАжI was glad to help, but I was only doing my job, you donтАЩt need to
keep giving meтАФтАЭ

Ishiguro held up a hand imperiously. When he spoke, his voice was very mild, but his gaze was arctic.
тАЬAre you suggesting my sonтАЩs life is not worth some raw fish and rice?тАЭ

тАЬUh. No.тАЭ

тАЬAre you suggesting there is no debt between us?тАЭ

Jared sighed. Kara smiled. тАЬGive it up, Jared. Besides, youтАЩre insulting our host.тАЭ

тАЬThe lady is wise,тАЭ Ishiguro declared, just as the waitress reappeared, carrying a large tray crowded
with enticing dishes.

Ishiguro placed the food himself, clucking over them like a hen with two chicks, making sure the
temperature of the food was exactly rightтАжKara waited for him to tie a napkin around JaredтАЩs neck and
start hand-feeding him, but he didnтАЩt go that far. And then, finally, he left them to their food.

Kara had to laugh. Poor Jared looked so embarrassed, she almost felt sorry for him. тАЬNo wonder you
didnтАЩt want to come in here,тАЭ she said, digging into her chawanmushi, a delicately flavored custard
crammed with seafood and mushrooms.
 тАЬItтАЩs not just the fuss he makes,тАЭ Jared confessed in a low voice. тАЬI swear, he loses money every time I
come in. Then, I avoid the place for a few months and his feelings are hurtтАжitтАЩs kind of a mess.тАЭ

тАЬThat will teach you to save lives, you bastard,тАЭ she said solemnly and they both laughed.
