While waiting in front of the emergency room, Itt's father was starting to feel stressed out. He didn't say much to anyone. Actually, no one was in the mood to talk. The only thing on anyone's mind was hearing about Day and Itt's conditions. Nick was sitting next to Neil while still sobbing. Soon, the door to the emergency room opened. Itt's father immediately rushed to the doctor.

"Doctor, how is Itt?" Itt's father asked in a worried tone.

"Mr. Itthiphol Charoen is safe now. He is unconscious right now because he has lost a lot of blood, but we have given him more blood. I am going to take him to a recovery room soon," said the doctor.

"What about the other patient, Doctor?" Neil asked Day.

"As for Khun Rawipol, he is considered to be very fortunate. When the bullet hit him, it did not hit any vital organs. However, it did cause some internal bleeding to his body. He has lost a lot of blood, but he is no longer considered to be in critical condition. We will need to monitor his condition for a while longer. When he is ready, we will take him to a recovery room, as well.

"Papa," Nick turned and called out to Itt's father in a trembling voice.

"What is it, Nick?" Itt's father answered.

"About Day and Itt... I wanted to..." Nick was about to say something when Itt's father raised his hand to stop him.

"I don't want to talk about this now, please. I'm going to go talk to the doctor about the recovery room first," Itt's father said before walking away. Nick looked at him with a worried expression.

"Give him some time. I think you should go call Gear first," Neil said. Nick picks up his phone and calls Gear. He updates him about Day's and Itt's conditions. He could only pray that Itt's father would open his heart and allow Day and Itt to be together.

"Honey, Itt has woken up," a familiar voice says, next to him. Itt was starting to come to his senses. He slowly opens his eyes and sees his mother sitting next to him. Above him was a white ceiling.

"Ma...ma," Itt called out to his mother in a hoarse voice.

"Have some water, Itt," Itt's mother said before handing him a glass with a straw to drink from. Itt drank the water because he was very thirsty. He closed his eyes again because his eyes still had not adjusted to the light.

Suddenly, images played through his head. The sound of gunshots, the smell of blood... he could remember it all. He immediately opened his eyes.

"Mom... Day... Ai Day... Ai Day!" Itt cried out when he remembered what had happened to Day. He tried to force himself to get out of bed.

"Where are you going, Itt? Lie down. You're going to hurt yourself," Itt's father hurried over to make his son lie down. Itt's face and lips were pale.

"Dad... I'm going to see Day... Where is he? Is he okay?" Itt asked, his voice trembling.

"Day, it's fine. The doctor said he would be able to go to a recovery room early in the morning. You'll be sleeping in the room next to him," Itt's father replied in a calm voice. Itt's eyes were tearing up.

"Really, Papa... he's okay, right? ...I want to see you with my own eyes," Itt tried to get out of bed, but his father held him to prevent him from getting up. His son was not even slightly interested in his own injuries. His wound was bloody and bandaged.

"Where do you think you're going in this condition? Have you gone crazy? Do you not see your own condition?" Itt's father continues to try to stop his son from getting out of bed.
