CH 22 - Family

Kit POV

I shouldn't have come.

He kept calling, but I didn't pick up his calls after I saw him in the lift with...but when he messaged me worried I replied, I couldn't help it. It was meant to be the two of us, but I stop near the bar when I see the same girl take a seat next to him.

Ming looked surprised to see her but now he's smiling at whatever she's telling him. I feel a sharp pain watching the scene; she's practically in his lap as she whispers something to him leaning in so close. I turn around and walk back out, I don't want to see.

I ignore the phone getting into my car, gripping the steering wheel as I drive. Why was I feeling like this, what was wrong with me? Was Beam right? I didn't want Ming's attention on anyone but me?

"You haven't met my granddaughter have you Kit?" The elderly aunty asks. "He's a doctor dear, at Heart Memorial."

I keep smiling as I greet the granddaughter whose eyes light up hearing I'm a doctor. I blame my mother for leaving me alone to the sharks, what was more important, mingling or me? Beam was right; they should be serving lots and lots of alcohol! And this wasn't even the wedding day.

I wish at least one of them managed to get time off to come; it was annoying having to make polite conversation. It felt odd, being here without them, Pha patted my shoulder, Beam hugged me as I left and told me to text them when I arrived. Idiots.

It was meant to be family but half my parent's friends and random relatives were here. I didn't know our garden was big enough to hold this many people and seriously where the hell did Uncle Pete get a tent? I look around again, it looked expensive. My eyes land on the group laughing in the corner; it was Ken and his gang, why did he of all people have to make it?

"Excuse us; I need to borrow my son."

I hug my mother the minute we are far enough away. "Mum, I'm scared."

"You're too cute for your own good." She chuckles and kisses my cheek. "Too bad Pha and Beam couldn't come, they would help with the girls."

They would indeed, but I hadn't told my mother that Pha was taken and Beam...well he was now a stalker and no longer interested in anyone but a certain someone named Forth. And me...What was happening to me, I didn't know.

I see Min looking pale and follow her into the house as she runs for the downstairs bathroom and throws up. I don't see my brother; shouldn't he be keeping an eye on her? They were high school sweethearts but whenever the talk came to marriage something came up and it never actually happened. I knew Min well even before, our parents were friends too.

We find a quiet corner for her to sit, I learnt at a young age, no guest came into the kitchen because they never wanted to do anything to help, they only came to enjoy. I get her a drink and help tie her hair up, she's hot but she doesn't like the smell of the AC. You never question a pregnant woman, never.

"Thanks, Kit." She sighs as I fan her with a placemat.

I set the phone on silent when it rings and put it back in my pocket. He called a few times today, but I wasn't ready to talk to Ming yet. What could I say? Ming I don't like you paying attention to anyone but me? OMG, I was turning into Beam.

"Have you seen your doctor?" I ask. "They can give you something for the sickness."

"They can?" She looks at me horrified. "Gran said you just had to get through it, so did her doctor."
