165 Decoy

Elder Master Ken shook his head while they were having dinner as he looked to Dean.

He was obviously enjoying being pampered by his wife who was busy feeding him with foods.

"How long do you have to wear that cast?" He asked with an arched eyebrow.

Dean smiled widely, "I'm not sure grandpa. I have to ask Doctor Jang on my next visit next week."

"Tsk what a clumsy guy… Next time you should me more careful on what you do. Who would have injured an arm because of tripping on a stair? Unless you intentionally injured yourself…" Elder Master Ken added with meaning as he continued to eat.

Dean grinned; he really admired how sharp his grandfather was into things. So he looked at Rita and answered with a tease, "Yes grandpa, next time I will be more careful but I feel like to stay on this cast for long knowing my wife will take good care of me like this…"

Rita's face reddened of embarrassment. Dean was so shameless. He always did not bother to say whatever he wanted anywhere regardless of the people around.

She slightly bowed her head to hide her blushing.

She's been helping Dean ever since his cast was encased in his right arm. It's her fault that he got injured anyway so she offered her help. Like now, she was helping Dean with his food by feeding him.

"Why don't you try to use your left hand and eat by yourself?" she whispered irritably.

Dean pouted his lips and said in a low voice, "No, it's hard for me to use my left hand and I'm not comfortable. It's hard to use one hand as you eat…"

Rita sighed. She tried it but Dean was right using one hand that you don't normally use in eating was hard.

Dean stopped with his teasing of his wife not to annoy her further. Instead, he looked at Ryu who was eating quietly.

'He must be having a hard time right now.' He thought silently and sighed. He asked his big bro before going home if he needed help since it would be easier for him to tell everything to his uncle and untie but he refused.

His Big Bro would prefer to discuss everything directly to his parents. He scratched his head at the thought of what Denise had said before that he should start practicing to cal Shawn Big Bro.

That poor big bro… he felt sad at the thought of what Shawn had gone through just to reach at this point. He was truly one of their bloods.

'What a strong man…' he murmured to himself. However, this man was twisted right now and was trying to bring them down, his own family.

That Old Man Skull was really something. He should help Chen in the investigation and must obtain all evidence they need to nail down the Old Man Skull.

=====

Inside his parents' room, RYu's heart was aching as he watched her mother Cecile cried so hard. He even helped his father to stop her from hurting himself as she kept on hitting her chest several times while she cried.

Ryu told everything after the dinner as soon as his parents entered their room…

He could feel it, the suffering she had, a mother's grief for the child that she thought had died.

Ryu's father was also crying.

"It's my entire fault… I should have come to you that time… I should have…. and stayed with you." Ryu's dad murmured as he hugged his wife and stroked her hair.

He thought that Cecile needed time alone so even though he wanted to seek her and be with her that tragic moment when she left, he chose to just wait for her. Wait until she was ready to face the world after all that had happened to her.

He even found out late about her pregnancy through his father only who got suspicious on Senior Go and Cecile who was earnestly pursuing the arranged marriage between families.

Cecile kept it a secret for a long time and was blackmailed by Mr. Go not to make it public in exchange for an arranged marriage of his youngest daughter Laila from his second wife.

Cecile was afraid that her dark past will cause a scandal to the family so she tried her best to support and insist the arranged marriage between Ryu and Laila because she also knew that Laila was a good woman. The girl practically grew up with them.

But his father, Elder Master Ken noticed something fishy and then he happened to discover what was going on and informed him the matter.

They all thought that the baby died. Laila said it herself and Mr. Go was the one who arranged everything.

Karl's face suddenly became gloomy…

"Have you talked to Senior Go?" he asked furiously. He did not know what he could do if the Go was involved on this hideous agenda.

Ryu sighed and said, "Yes, he knew nothing dad. He said the doctor told him that the baby died. Chen is working on it right now. But it might take time to find what really happened that time. The staffs of the hospital who handled everything and the records from that hospital were all missing and Mr. Go couldn't remember the name or even the look of the doctor too."

He met Mr. Go and he could tell that the latter did not know a thing except that the doctor said that the baby died and he arranged the burial of the dead baby himself.

The doctor in charge of her mother was also missing including the assistants and his staff.

Ryu knew something was off the moment Chen told him that the people involved during her mother's delivery and all files were nowhere to be found.

That's what they needed to work on, to find those people involved in her mother's delivery especially the doctor who proclaimed the was baby dead and provided a dead new born body to Senior Go who was clearly just a decoy.

At this rate there's no way they could just approach Shawn and said, 'Hey we are your family and you got the wrong information to hate us. Whatever negative details you have there, it's all not true. You are the Eldest son of Karl and Cecile Ken. You are my Older Brother who my mother thought died years ago.'

If only things were that simple and could be discuss verbally like that.

Ryu let out a deep long sigh of frustrations…

Old Man Skull could even reverse the situation and say that his mother was responsible for all missing files including the people involved or the worst he could even dragged Elder Master Ken in it…

Like saying all those hideous things were planned by the Elder Master Ken to get her mother for his son Karl.

Everything was so twisted right now and he knew that verbal words couldn't make Shawn believe them.

It was impossible for someone who had so much hatred in his heart since childhood.

No wondered Shawn wanted to hurt him emotionally by using Arya before…

He needed to think of a plan on how they could convince Shawn and he needed evidence or perhaps…

Ryu paused and looked at her mother that was still crying while his father was calming her…

It wouldn't be easy…. But he should at least try any possibilities…
