Kim's P.O.V:
I walked into the hospital room and sat down on one of the chairs.
I smiled and poked nong Non's cheek causing him to squirm in his sleep.
Porchay sat down next to me and put a hand on my shoulder.
I turned to him.
"Thank you for coming" I said.
"I'd have been an asshole if I didn't come" He said.
I turned to look at nong Non again.
"You're not an asshole...I'm the one who owes you an apology" I said.
"It's alright" He said.
"I'm sorry...I don't know how to sound sincere when I apologise because I never had to do such a thing but...I really think you deserve an apology" I said.
He didn't say anything but patted my shoulder.
"He's going to be fine" I said.
Then nodded to myself.
"What happened though? Why would someone do that to a baby?" Porchay asked.
"Oh I know...I know it too well" I said.
The door opened and my siblings rushed into the room looking concerned.
Porchay stood up and waiied.
"What happened Kim?" Tankul asked.
I stood up.
"Let's talk outside...Porchay can you keep an eye on him until I'm back? Tell me if he wakes up" I said.
Porchay nodded so I left with my brothers closing the door behind me.
"How did this happen?" Kinn asked.
"Our uncle did it" I said.
Kinn fell silent.
"He feels threatened by his presence so he wants to get rid of him...He knows that nong Non's presence will further threaten his share of the inheritance" I said.
"Hey...He's a horrible parent we all know but isn't that just a baseless accusation?" Kinn asked.
I shook my head.
"He's the only person who would benefit from murdering nong Non" I said smiling.
"I still think we should calm down and think carefully" Kinn said.
"I agree...It won't be good if you do something that you'll come to regret later" Tankul said.
I nodded without saying anything.
"Let's go back inside for now and check on nong Non" Kinn said.
So we walked back into the room.
(A week later)
Porsche's P.O.V:
I walked into to the bar and sat down on one of the stools.
Then a guy walked over to me.
"Excuse me...You're Porsche right?" The guy asked.
I nodded so he sat down next to me.
"I heard from P'Yok that you used to be a detective" I said.
"I was...But Yok didn't tell me what you wanted" He said.
I took out some money from my pocket and put it on the table in front of him.
"I want you to find something out for me" I said.
He looked at the money briefly then looked at me.
"And what exactly am I supposed to find?" He asked.
"I want you to find me more information about an accident that happened fifteen years ago" I said.
"Who were the victims of the accident? And where did it happen?" He asked.
"The victims were Chayapat Kittisawasd and Namphaeng Kittisawasd they owned a land that had a hotel business...Died in a car crash while they were on their way back home from a family visit in Chiang Mai" I said.
The man nodded.
"Here are their pictures...I want this to be done quickly so I'll pay you good" I said.
"Alright I'll see what I can do...Is that all?" He asked.
I shook my head.
"I want you to find out about the origins of the Theerapanyakul family and their business...Things like how they acquired their money and lands and such...And whether they did anything under the table" I said.
"Alright" He said.
"That's all...That's your first payment I'll give you twice as much if you get the job done in two weeks" I said.
"Why two weeks?" He asked frowning.
"It's not important for you to know I hope you get it done as soon as possible" I said.
Then stood up.
He stood up and took the money before putting it in his pocket.
Then we went our separate ways.
In two weeks time...The Theerapanyakul enterprise will be celebrating its fifteenth founding anniversary with a big party.
The party will have a lot of guests to receive the donations from the Theerapanyakul family...
And I'll be there too.
I got on my bike then put on my helmet and drove away from the bar.
(Meanwhile)
Pete's P.O.V:
I opened my eyes when I felt the wind on my face so I looked at the window and noticed that it was open.
I stood up and walked over to the window then closed it before closing the curtain as well.
It was indeed chilly so maybe the rain will be heavier then I thought.
I walked over to Vegas and covered him with the blanket then sat down again.
The door opened and a nurse walked into the room.
"Excuse me...There are visitors who wanted to see him" She said.
I nodded so she let them in.
I stood up immediately when I saw that it was mr Kinn and mr Tankul and Macau.
"What are you doing here?" Mr Tankul asked frowning.
"Not now Tankul...We'll talk about it later" Mr Kinn said.
Then he turned to me.
"We heard from Macau that the hospital management was thinking about disconnecting the life support system so we were here to talk them out of it" Mr Kinn said.
I nodded.
He smiled and raised a hand for me to shake.
"Macau also told us that you never left Vegas the past two weeks...That's really nice of you and I wanted to thank you in person" Mr Kinn said smiling.
I shook his hand.
"Do you want to tell us something though Pete?" Mr Tankul asked smiling in obvious amusement.
"Ummm...Something like what?" I asked frowning.
"Oh I don't know...Maybe that thing about you liking my cousin?" Mr Tankul asked.
I felt my cheeks burning up as I squeezed the thing in my hand.
"Hey Pete..." Mr Kinn started.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"Do you mind?" He asked.
I frowned but my eyes widened when I realised that I was still holding his hand and that the thing I was squeezing just now was actually his hand.
So I let go of it immediately.
"Nice grip you have there" Mr Kinn said chuckling awkwardly.
I rubbed the back of my neck in embarrassment.
"Awww...Are you shy? This is so cute...He's so adorable" Mr Tankul said.
Then walked over to me and started squeezing my cheeks.
"He also has really squishy cheeks" Mr Tankul said as he continued squeezing my cheeks.
"Tankul I think that's enough...He's starting to feel uncomfortable" Mr Kinn said.
So mr Tankul let go of my face.
Thankfully...
"Pete can we talk outside?" Mr Kinn asked.
I nodded and followed him out of the room.
He cleared his throat and nodded to himself.
"Look...I know you like Vegas and I won't stand in your way but...I think that there's something you should know" He said.
"That his father is abusive?" I asked.
"You knew?" He asked.
I nodded.
"Well...That's a relief I was having trouble with finding the right words to explain the situation" He said.
"It's alright mr Kinn I understand" I said.
"Well...Anyway that's not all...Vegas thinks that he won't be able to protect anyone so he does his best to withdraw from other people and keep them away" Mr Kinn said.
He rubbed the back of his neck.
"He thinks that if he lets people into his life and gets attached to them they might eventually suffer and he doesn't like the feeling of loss" He said.
Then cleared his throat again.
"All I want to say here is that it might take a long time for you to get him out of his shell so I hope you don't give up" He said.
I smiled and nodded.
"I'm happy that he finally found someone though...As his cousin there wasn't much I could do to defend him from my uncle so..." He started.
"I think he's quite lucky though" I said.
I mean...Everyone at the company knows just how much mr Korn and mr Kan hate each other so seeing their children being so nice to each other is definitely a good sign.
"Well...I should warn you too...My uncle won't like having you around Vegas so you should be careful of him and I'll help you if need be" He said.
"Right...I understand...Thank you" I said smiling.
He nodded then we walked back into the room.
(Later that night)
Kinn's P.O.V:
I was in my room keeping an eye on nong Non when my phone started ringing.
I went to get it and saw that it was Porsche.
So I picked up immediately.
"Porsche?" I asked.
"I'm in front of your house come on I want to talk to you" He said.
So I told Macau to keep an eye on nong Non instead of me.
I walked out and saw Porsche standing in front of his bike.
"I'm sorry I've been busy lately...My cousin is hospitalised and my nephew almost died so..." I started.
"It's alright Kinn...I understand" Porsche said.
I nodded.
"I'm here to quit the company...I won't be working there anymore" He said.
I frowned.
"Why?" I asked.
"You want to know why? Fine...Tell me the truth then...How did your family gain all their wealth? The Theerapanyakul name huh? What exactly did they do to climb the ladder that fast?" Porsche asked.
"These are just baseless rumours you don't have to listen to them" I said.
He chuckled incredulously and nodded.
"Fine...I really hope that they are just rumours...You know why? Because if they aren't I'll have no choice but to destroy you and your family" He said.
Then grabbed my collar and pulled me closer to him.
"If they aren't just rumours then it'll mean only one thing to me...Your family killed my parents to get their land" He said.
Then let go of my collar and took a step back.
"It'll mean that they ruined my life so I'll punish them for it and I'll have you know that if you try to stand in my way I'll destroy you as well" He said.
Then turned his back on me and left.
