Chapter 25

Type retracts his smile seeing Tharn's father. The huge older man with broad shoulders looks at Tutor in bed. Tutor looks so vulnerable. He looks at Type and smiles.
"And who are you?" Mr. Thananan asks.
"A family member." Type replies.
"OK. How is Tutor doing? Has he showed any progress?"
"Yes." Type smiles looking back at Tutor. "He woke up but he fell back asleep."
"Awesome. Did he say what happened?" Mr. Thananan knows he wouldn't be standing if Tutor said what happened but he still wants to know his state.
"No. Apparently he can't remember how he fell." Type looks back at Mr. Thananan.
"Is that so?" Mr. Thananan's tension vanishes like someone threw him a bucket of cold water but he knows it won't be forever. He has to take care of Tutor... permanently.
"Yes. Hopefully, he will remember what happened so we know what to do next to ensure his safety." Type's phone rings so he leaves the room to answer the call.
Mr. Thananan looks back at Tutor when he sees Type leave the room.
"Why didn't you just die? Now you are going to make this harder for me." Mr. Thananan brings out his phone and takes a picture of Tutor in bed.
"But don't worry, I will make it as swift and painless as possible." Mr. Thananan leaves the room and smiles as he passes Type in the corridor who is making a phone call. 

       Fighter with Tharn arrives at his house. Tharn admires the white pure walls with artistic painting hanged on eye catching places on the wall. They walk up the curvy stairs leading to the upper floor. Fighter enters the first room by the left and Tharn follows. Tharn's admires the white walled office with a huge drawing of a woman lying in the plain grass and her hair levitating. He looks at Fighter seated in his chair operating his laptop.
"I have been digging on you and your dad when I found out your second spouse went missing just like your first one." Fighter types on the keyboard revealing his first partner; a young man with blond hair smiling broadly at the camera. He shows it to Tharn.
"He was raised by his mother after his father died from lungs cancer. After two years of your marriage with him. six months after your divorce, he went missing."
"Maybe he travelled to another country." Tharn suggests.
"There is no evidence of that. His mother doesn't even know where her son is. She contacted the police but all investigation led to nothing. Soon after, the company belonging to him was completely owned by your father."
"How is that possible? I would have known."
Fighter gives him an unbelievable look. "If you were interested in the company you would have known. That's why it is easy for your dad to hide things away from you."
Tharn thinks about it for a moment and realises Fighter is right. He slept around with men and women countless time not having a care in the world because after all the money was coming whenever he needed it.
"So what are you going to do now?" Tharn asks.
"I don't know. Tutor does not remember anything pertaining to the incident."
"Do you think it was my father who pushed him?"
Fighter looks up at Tharn from his laptop screen but he doesn't dare say anything.
"I know you do. I think so too. There was no evidence of a break in or robbery. There were only three people in that when Tutor was pushed. Henia, who couldn't have the energy or motive to kill Tutor. Myself, which I'm sure I didn't do and finally my father which I'm sure he had a motive for doing."
Tharn walks around the room for a while before stopping and speaks.
"But what I don't understand is if my dad was involved in the disappearance of my other two spouses, why did he hastily want to take out Tutor without any preparation knowing full well it could all lead back to him?"
Fighter then remembers the conversation him and Tutor had in the hotel room.
"God, it's my fault." Fighter rubs his face. "Tutor said he was going to find evidence to bring you and your father down."
"Do you think he saw the evidence that's why my father pushed him?"
  Fighter nods in agreement because he knows he has the same answer as Tharn.

         A black car drives in the hospital car park and stops. Mai steps out with a small bag where she kept a food flask and bottle water for Tutor. He needs home made food when he wakes up so he can regain his energy. She enters the building passing numerous doctors and nurses walking passed her in hurry. She looks at her side as she approaches the elevator seeing children, men and women in need of treatment of whatever the problem is. She begins to feel emotional because of whatever brought them here. It is one of the reasons she dislikes hospital; seeing so many sad faces.
     She arrives at the floor where Tutor's room is situated. She notices a man dressed in black clothes with a black shade glasses walk passed her. She looks behind her to be sure she has gained some distance between her and the man. Then her mind just clicks to when the police officer told her Tutor could have been a victim of armed robbery. Quickly, she hastens her steps rushing to Tutor's room. She arrives without hesitation she opens the door seeing Type and Tutor looking at her with a shocked expression. She breathes a heavy breath of relief.
"Mom, is everything alright?" Type asks worried to see his mother panting.
She smiles happy to see her two boys safe and sound. Maybe that man is a celebrity so he is careful of his movement.
"I'm fine. Just in a haste to see Tutor." She walks in closing the door behind her. She sits beside her son who is smiling at her. "I'm so happy you're awake. Are you feeling better?"
"I'm fine. Just some body pains."
"Do you remember what happened?"
"I don't." Tutor shakes his head. "But I keep having this dream that someone was after me in the house that I needed to get away him." He wipes away tears falling from his eyes. "I was really scared. It's like I was about to die."
"That's horrible. Don't worry, we are here. Nothing is going to happen to you."
"Did the person seem familiar? The one who attacked you in your dreams."
"No. It's blurry. But I know he was huge."
Mr. Thananan instantly comes to Type's mind.
