Part 3

Prang noticed that Denkhun seemed a bit down. She could tell because he wanted his wife to come home and she just wasn't ready. So as the friendly nurse, she'd give Denkhun some love and affection.

"Hello, Khun Denkhun. So, how's your wife doing? Is she ready to go home"

"Not really. She just seems to be distant. I don't know how to convince her into coming."

"There, there. Everything will be alright," she said patting his back.

Lingling was passing by and noticed how Prang was being so friendly with Orm's husband. 'Things never change with her.'

Gina kept her promise and stopped by to see Orm.

"Orm, how have you been?" she said hugging her best friend.

"I'm holding up as much as I can. I'm really glad that you're here. I missed seeing my best friend."

"I miss you, too. I noticed Nine has kept you in such great comfort."

"You know Nine, he just doesn't want me to leave and stay here eating this dreaded hospital food."

"So do you have any idea, who'd want to hurt you?"

"I have no clue, Gina. All I know is when I find out who did this to me, they're going to regret it." 

Before Gina had a chance to interject, Lingling knocked on Orm's door.

"Is this a bad time? I could come back later." Orm looked up at beautiful doctor and smiled.

"No, it's not. Gina, I'd like you to meet Doctor Lingling. She's my OB/GYN."

"Nice to meet you, Gina."

Gina smiled at her. 'I can see why Orm isn't too crazy about going home. She sure is a looker.' "I have to get going, Orm. I'll see you soon."

"But Gina you just got here not too long ago."

"I know, but the pretty doctor here wants to talk to you." Lingling couldn't help, but blush at the comment. Gina left the room leaving Lingling and Orm alone.

"Sorry about Gina. She tends to be shy, but I don't know what's gotten into her today."

"It's alright. So do you feel ready to go home today?" 'As much as I enjoy looking at your pretty face.' 

"No, I'm not. I feel if I go home, P' Denkhun won't want to be near me. I'll think that he won't find me attractive."

"You shouldn't think that. Denkhun seems like a supportive husband. He's been by your side. You should give him the benefit of doubt." Lingling checked her vital signs and noticed that everything was well.

"But I just don't think that I'll ready if ... he wants to make love to me."

"If he is the nice man, that you say he is, he'll understand if you won't want to make love." 'Hell, I'd understand. I would just want to old you in my arms and comfort you.'

"Thanks. You know you're so sweet," Orm said smiling.

Orm went back at her law firm. She wasn't ready to head back to Theappitak yet. Parts of her felt completely disoriented. She had been avoiding Denkhun in more ways than one. Orm knew that he noticed, but he disregarded it. What she needed was a nice bath and with a book. 

Denkhun had missed his wife so much but couldn't understand as to why she just didn't want to come home. He loved her, but he missed having her near and making love to her. So, he chose to go a different route.
