Till Death Do Us Apart

Chapter 43

Singto eventually gathered his thoughts and asked, "So, why are we here? And where has Uncle Mark's son gone?" "The kidnapper and his sister care for Sir Mark's son until he is about 7 or 8 months old. Then, her sister then gave him to one of her university's friends. And her friend was Prenish, your mother," Toy said slowly, not wanting to hurt Singto's feelings. "Wait a minute, you telling me I'm Uncle Mark's son and not my father's son?" Singto raises his hand. "What kind of nonsense are you trying to say?" Singto asks, standing up as he nearly loses his mind hearing what they say.

"Your mother took you because he pitied you at the time. Your father pulled some strings to convince anyone that you are his real son, seeing as your mother was determined to adopt you. Making everyone believe that your mother had you before she married your father. Everyone fell for it, including Lowkhun. Not until Lee Thanat began digging about everything back, did he discover all of this. None of us, including you and Sir Mark know about this," Tay carefully explains.

"First and foremost, we contact Sir Mark to confirm everything. We also know Sir Mark's full name is Mark Runagroj. His reaction after I told him everything is priceless. So he decides to conduct a DNA test on both of you. That is why we have come. And Sir Mark is currently meeting with your father's old friend who is behind everything to find out the truth about you. And he instructed me to give you this." Toy continues by handing Singto a letter and a ring box that Singto had brought for Krist. Singto took it slowly, but he was hesitant to open that letter. Tay's phone starts buzzing, so he excuses himself for a moment.

After that, he returned and said, "Singto, Sir Mark had an accident. He is currently in the operating room." Singto did fall to the ground when he heard that. He cried aloud as he placed his hand near his heart. "There had to be someone here. I'm afraid Lee Thanat will show up and ruin everything. I'll remain. Tay will take you to the hospital, Sir," Toy said. But Singto remained motionless. Not even a little. He continued to cry. When Tay and Toy noticed that Singto did not move, they deduced that Singto did not want to go probably because he wanted to wait for the results of the DNA test. So they both stay next to Singto while they await the result.

Singto opens the letter in his hand and begins reading while still shaking and crying.

Hi Singto, my son.

This is strange. I'm writing you a letter as your father, not as your uncle. First and foremost, please accept my apologies. I apologise for taking so long to recognise you as my son. But deep down, I'm relieved because I know my son is still alive, and I'm grateful because I get to watch you grow up in front of me. Although we are never aware that we are related by blood. If my wife, your mom is here, she would be happier.

I'm sorry, my little Simba. I'm sorry for allowing that jerk to keep us apart for so long. Allowing him to have complete control over our lives. If I could turn back the time, I would do everything in my power to protect you. I would not allow him to destroy our little family.

I was constantly reminded of my son as I watched you and Gun grow up, especially you. If he were still alive, I imagine he'd be around your age. We have a great relationship, most likely because you remind me of my son. I feel compelled to protect you, to love you more than just your Uncle. When you're sad, I'm sad, when you're sick, I'm worried. I can't just stand there and watch someone bully you. When you want something, I feel compelled to grant it to you.

I wish I could hear you call me dad at least once, my son. Before I shut my eyes. So I won't have any regrets when I leave this world. But I'm not sure if I'll have the opportunity to hear that. But it's all right. It's more than enough if you live a good life. I'm going to make everything right now. After that, I'll meet with Krist to work on your relationship. Krist is a good kid, and I'm confident he'll take good care of you. I no longer have to be concerned about you because of him.

Please forgive me if I ever make any mistake that hurt you. Please live a good life. And be happy. And also, I think this ring should be with you I wish you all the best. My little simba, Singto.

Gun stood anxiously outside the operation room. He continued to pray to God to save Uncle Mark. And he hadn't seen Singto until now. He noticed Off attempting to contact Singto, but he did not respond. "Please stop calling him. If he loved Uncle, he would have answered already," Gun said, giving up. New just watching them and was deafeningly silent. Deep inside his heart, it tell him something had happen. Not long after that, the doctor come out. "How is it?" Gun asks the doctor as the three of them stand. "I'm sorry," the doctor said.

"What do you mean by that?" says the doctor as he grabs the doctor's collar. Aren't you a doctor? A doctor's job is to save lives. What in the world did you do?" Gun starts yelling. Off tried to calm Gun down by grabbing him and hugging him. New nodded to the doctor, who excused himself. "Papi, tell the doctor to do something. Tell them to save Uncle Mark," Gun begged Off, crying in his arm. It is very hard for Gun to accept everything. Ever since he was young, Gun was being raised by both Uncle Mark and Singto.

"I'm sorry, Gun," New said to Gun. Turning his head. "Don't worry. I'll take care of everything." He then left Off and Gun to settle Uncle Mark's funeral. He didn't forget to notify Tay of Uncle Mark's death because he knew Singto was with him. Something could happen. New also notify to Krist and hoped that Krist could attend Uncle Mark's funeral.
