COLD RAIN

CHAPTER 48

When Sammy and Benz arrived in S City, Pon had just finished the very pleasant dinner with Sailub.

The car was already prepared at the door. Pon was in a hurry, so he didn’t refuse. He sat in the back seat and waited for a while before anyone came up.

He stuck his head out and saw Sailub explaining something to the driver standing next to the car.

Then he turned to Pon and said, “I have other things, so I won’t pick up Auntie with you.”

Pon didn’t want him to go with him, but it was also clear that Sailub had deliberately arranged it this way.

It was night time, what task could be waiting for him?

The car slowly drove onto the road and joined the traffic.

Pon looked out the rear window.

Sailub was still standing on the spot and watching him go away. His figure was tall and upright, but he seemed lonely and solemn in the night.

On the road, Pon sometimes opened and sometimes closed his eyes, and light and shadows in the mottled glass were floating chaotically in front of him, making him think of the last time he walked into this restaurant.

He was also with Sailub then.

At that time, he was 18 years old and Sailub was 19 years old. They had just confirmed their marriage relationship in the presence of a priest.

It was the happiest day of his previous life. He thought he knew what love was and he secretly prepared to spend his life with Sailub.

Only in the later trials and tribulations did he know that happiness was not achieved in the presence of a third party and giving did not definitely have to be rewarded.

The past was the past, and fate also worked on a first-come-first-served basis.

The pain he felt at the time could not be felt by the other party, and now the “love” the man talked about could not reach his heart through his eardrums.

Early the next morning when Sammy was admitted to an oncology hospital in S City, she underwent a detailed full-body examination.

As a result, it turned out there was still a problem with her heart.

Under the impact of chemotherapy and various stimulating drugs, the tolerance of her organs was weakened, which caused various physical and sensory discomforts.

After the medicine and treatment plan were adjusted, the symptoms eased a lot in less than three days.

Sammy's face also turned ruddy. When she arrived, she could only walk with help. Now she could get out of bed and walk around.

“Thanks to your friend,” Sammy said, taking Pon’s hand, “When we are discharged from the hospital, the three of us will pay our respects together.”

Pon said, “No, he is busy. He said yesterday that he would come to see you when he had time.”

The second half of the sentence was nonsense. Fortunately, Sammy didn’t plan to ask more. She only asked what their benefactor’s  name was.

Pon’s brain was knotted when he lied, he hesitated for a long time and still said truthfully that his surname was Sai.

Before leaving, he was pulled aside by Benz and asked in a low voice, “It’s not him again right?”

Pon pretended to be dumbfounded, “Him? What him? Who are you talking about?”

When he saw his embarrassing performance, Benz knew it was not good, patted his forehead and said, “I, Benz Kitjaruwannakul, have been smart all my life. How could I have been so confused earlier and fallen for your trick?”
