Taming a Rhino

Chapter 30. Great

Nan looked at the woman, understanding her grief, but he was not ready to let his aunt leave this house. After all, she had been his mother when she died. She had been with them since before Fiat was born. When his father, Paul, was consumed with grief at the sudden loss of his wife during childbirth, it was this woman who had been by his side since he was a child. After his brother's death, she had supported him, cheered him up. And when his father handed over the business to him and said he could no longer live in the house and take care of the business, it was his aunt who told him that Nan could handle it. In her words he always had unwavering faith, as if in his mother's words. When his father went abroad and stopped contacting him, Nan thought that he too had died, but the woman was able to convince the then young Nanfha that his father was alive, but that everyone grieved in his own way and needed time to get over the loss of his beloved son. And now she wants to leave him...

- Auntie, let you tell me what happened and we'll decide together what to do," while Nan was in shock, Lien took matters into his own hands.

- My... Boy... Diamond... The hospital called... They said he died... The blood clot broke off, the doctors couldn't do anything... I need to go there... I... I... I... I don't know how to tell Great... he's only 18... The little boy is alone... How do I tell him... That his father is gone? - Auntie said in a tearless but trembling voice.

- I need to leave to take care of him... - the woman continued and Raed looked at her silent husband and found a solution.

- Aunty, I will go to the hospital with you and then home to your grandson. You shouldn't say such things over the phone, believe me... The time is almost 7 pm... change your clothes, I'll ask Ploy to help you. Don't strain your arm," Lien spoke affectionately and the woman nodded.

- Deal..." lien turned to the boy and he bowed his head as he left the room.

After a while, Ploy entered the room and Lien asked her to help his aunt change. He took a suspiciously silent Nan's hand and walked out of the room with him.

- Are you alright? - Lien inquired, running his hand over the cheek of the man in front of him.

- I won't let her go. Even if I have to handcuff her in this house, I'll do it... - Nan was angry at everyone leaving him: first his beloved grandmother, followed by his mother, then his brother, followed by his father, now his aunt....

- Don't be silly, let me decide that? - Raed said softly, hugging his husband, who was nodding or shaking his head.

- Hubbeast! Pull yourself together! You're coming with us. She needs support now, not recriminations and tantrums, you understand? You know how hard it is to lose a family member. We have to help with the funeral, I'll take care of the explanation with the child, - Lien said seriously and Nanfha heard him.

Five minutes later the woman left the room and Lien and Nan, taking her under his arms on both sides, took their time walking downstairs. Deal turned out to be a very bright guy, because when they left the house there was a car at the door and the young man was sitting behind the wheel.

- What hospital, Auntie? - Lien asked, putting the woman in the back seat with Nan.

- YRH Hospital," the woman replied quietly and Deal entered the address into the navigator.

After reaching the hospital in 45 minutes, the kid stopped the car and Fluff hesitated to get out of the auto.

- Auntie... I know it's hard, but you still have a grandson waiting for you... we're here for you, - Lien squeezed the woman's hand and she looked up at him.

Fluff saw care, compassion and pain in his eyes. Even though Lien works with death himself, he can't hide the pain of loss in his gaze. That is what makes the relatives of the dead or victims trust him. Auntie nodded and the three of them got out of the car.
