“Dad!” I tried to touch him but he flinch away and frown.
He keeps staring at me like I’m some foreign being, is it that he doesn’t remember me?.
“Dad, it’s me, Ian, your son!”
“My son?!” I nod eagerly.
He tilts his head and take a closer look at my face, he reach out slowly and touch my face.
But just when a look of recognition almost crossed his eyes, his breath quickens and he falls back but I caught him in time. He holds his head and begin muttering something.
I listened closely and got what he’s saying.
“N-nancy, Nancy,,, N-nancy,,, N-nancy,,,,!”
“Dad, Dad, calm down!”
He didn’t listen, it’s just as if he’s not hearing me, he keeps muttering mom’s name.
“T-the coffee,, coffee,,, it’s,,,, it’s,,,,!” His eyes bulge out as he gasp for air.
I’m totally confused, I don’t know what’s happening. What he’s saying doesn’t make any sense. I turned to Brandon.
“What’s wrong with him?!”
He shakes his head.
“I don’t know, sir”
Dad points towards the window.
“T-there,,,” he shakes my hand. “It’s,,, there,,,, ”
I looked and find the window are closed, maybe he wants them open.
“Brad, open the windows!”
“No!!” Dad screamed. He shakes his head vehemently, fear in his eyes. “T-he coffee,,,”
“Brad, get him coffee, he wants coffee”
“Yes, sir!”
Brandon rush to the small table in the room and pour some coffee in a mug and brings it to me.
I took it from him and takes it closer to my dad’s mouth,,, he refused to open his mouth. Rather he pushes it away and it poured on me, I hissed as it burned me.
“General, are you ok?” Brandon asked.
I nod. And turned to my dad, he is staring at the empty coffee mug with fear.
I frown. Could it be that he was posioned before he was hanged? I helped my dad up and excort him slowly to the bed, I help him sit down.
“Dad, do you remember what happened to you?” I asked him.
Instead of replying me, he only stared at me for some minutes and grinned, he touches my face.
“You are a good boy!” He said.
“Dad, does that mean you remember me? You know who I am?”
He shakes his head, but his smiles doesn’t fades.
“I just know you are a good person with a good heart” he paused. “Do you have a brother?”
“Yes, you have to two sons. Javier and I, and I’m the eldest”
“Really?” He turns away from me. “Interesting, where is he?”
“Oh, I think he’s with his girlfriend, I’d love for you two to reunite but I’m sorry dad, I can’t”..
“Why? I wanna see him”
“I can’t tell you why either but trust me it’s for everyone’s good”
He didn’t say anything more, he simply nods.
“Dad, do you remember anything,,,, please tell me what happened to you? Someone tried to kill you,,, did you saw their face?”
He stares silent for a few minutes before he shakes his head.
“No!”
“No? You didn’t see their face?”
“No! I don’t remember”
“Huh?”
“I don’t remember anything”
“Are you sure? Please tell me if you remember something it’ll be of great help,I,,,,”
He lays on the bed and close his eyes.
“I wanna sleep”
“Dad,,,,”
“Young Man, if you don’t mind excusing me, let me get some sleep”
My heart leap from my chest when I heard him say “Sleep!” What if something happens? What if he doesn’t wake up again?
“No!” I said.
“I wanna sleep, why no?”
“You have been sleeping for 10years, 10 long years dad. I think that should be enough sleep”
“10 years,,,,right, who is Nancy?”
I frown,,,, please don’t tell me you forgot your wife too.
“Young Man? Nancy?”
“She’s my Mom, your wife”
“My wife?” He stares at the ceiling as if he’s thinking. “The name really does sound familiar,,,but why do I have a feeling that she betrayed me?”
“Betrayed you?”
“Hmm” he nods.
“Dad, that’s not possible,, Mom can never betray you, she was so heartbroken when she heard you died. In fact, she haven’t been the same since”
He huffed and mutters something, I couldn’t catch what he said but it sounds like “Pretence!”
“I wanna sleep”
“But,,,,”
“I will be fine, now be a good boy and step out for some minutes”
I sigh and stood up. Maybe it’s best if I left him to rest. Brandon open the door and we step out, I lock the door from outside and keep the key in my pocket.
“Brad, get doc Lee here, let him run some tests on my dad. I wanna know why he seems to lost his memory”
“yes, sir”
“Right, and don’t let Javier or my Mom know about this!”
“Yes, sir”
“But sir, I don’t think Mr Morgan lost his memory”
I frown.
“What do you mean by that?”
“I mean, if he really does loss his memory, why did he ask if you have a brother. And how come he remembers your mom’s name?”
“So you mean he is faking memory loss?”
“Yes, sir!”
Hmm, I think Brandon might be right,,,,if he really doesn’t remember anything how could he guess correctly that I have a brother.
Why did he said he felt like Mom betrayed him? Maybe he really didn’t loss his memory….
“But why will he pretend that he doesn’t remember anything?”
“That I’m not sure, sir. Maybe he’s trying to test”
“Test me? Why?”
“I don’t know, sir, but all this is just based on our assumptions. I will get doc Lee to confirm”
I nod and we head out.
Why did dad say Mom betrayed him? Could it be that Mom is related to what happened years ago?
Well, now that dad is awake, we will get the guy behind the murder 10 years ago. I will definitely find out what happened.

The next morning…..
I open my eyes and noticed I’m alone on our bed, I looked at Dean’s side of bed. It’s still neat and cold, it seems like he didn’t sleep here last night.
What is in that room? Did he sleep there last night? Maybe I should check his study.
I got off the bed and rushed into the bathroom, I took a quick shower brush my teeth and change into comfy clothes before heading out.
*********
“Miss Aurora, why are you here?” Brandon ask when he sees me.
“Is Dean inside?”
“Yes, but he’s busy”
“Hmm” I hummed and walk past him.
I open the door and enter the study, Dean sat on his big chair and a man sat in front of him.
“Dean!” I called him.
He turns away from the man and faces me with a small smile.
“My Phoebe, why are you here?”
I strode towards him and sits on his lap, I peck his lips softly.
“You weren’t in the room when I woke up, so I thought I should come look for you”
“Hmm, my angel is so sweet”
I turn to the man with a raised eyebrow.
“And this is,,,, ”
“I’m doc Lee Min Ho!”
Doctor? I turn back to Dean with a worried frown.
“Doctor? Are you sick?” I asked him.
“I’m fine, I just need him for something else”
“For what?”
“It’s not something of your concern, Angel”
Not something of my concern? Why had he being acting so mysteriously since last night?
“But,,,,”
He cuts me off with a frustrated groan.
“My Phoebe, stop being curious, I will let you in when I want to”
“Why can’t you let me in now?”
“I can’t”
“Dean,,,,”
“Fine, I need him for some investigations”
Investigation,,,, right, I’ve being in this mansion for some weeks now but I haven’t made any progress on my parents murder case.
“Wait,,, is it for my parents deaths?”
“Not everything is about your parents!”
I frown.
“But,,, you promised you’d help me investigate it”
“I did and I will”
“When?”
“Just sit back and wait”
“Wait?! For how long?”
Humph! I knew he isn’t reliable,,, I knew he wouldn’t help me.
“Phoebe, go back to our room, I will see you later”
I got off his lap,,, he doesn’t want to help me, fine! After all, I didn’t come here to look for help from him. I came here to find out the truth by myself and that is what I’m gonna do.
I should go pay Dan a visit in the infirmary and make plans with him to bring out the real boss,,, who knows he might be the one behind my parents deaths.
I smiled at doc Lee before stepping out.

“General, why don’t you wanna tell her the truth?” Lee asked me immediately Phoebe left.
“What Truth?”
“That you are actually investigating her parents death in secret?”
I sigh.
“You don’t know my Phoebe, if I tell her the truth she might take some dangerous decisions on her own. I can’t tell her the truth for her own good,,,, from the way I see things, the person behind, whoever they are, they are very powerful and dangerous. They might be closer than we think”
He nods in affirmation. Now that it seems like my Mom is involved, it’s all the more reason I want to keep Phoebe in the dark or she might spill somethings in front of my Mom.
“So, what did you say about my dad’s memory loss?”
“Well, General, it seems like you are right. Mr Morgan didn’t have a memory loss, in fact, he’s fully recovered”
“Then, why is he faking memory loss?”
“I don’t know, maybe he wants to confirm something on his own”
Hmm, all these are giving me a headache.
“General, the woman is showing signs of waking up soon”
“Good, let her stay with you, she’s safer there”
“Yes, sir”
“You may leave” I wave him off.
He nods and left with his briefcase.
“Brandon!”
He rushes in instantly.
“Yes, General”
“Get some of the boys, let them watch my mom’s every move! Where she goes, people she interacts with and what she does everyday should be reported to me!!”
“Yes, sir!”
Mom, what did you do? How did you betrayed dad?

|| Aurora/Phoebe ||
After asking several maids for directions, I finally arrived at the infirmary. I didn’t know the mansion was this big.
I enter the room Dan’s in and saw that maid that pleaded on his behalf, sitting next to him. She is giving him some medicine.
“Daniel”
He raised his head up.
“Miss Aurora!”
The maid quickly knees in front of me.
“Thank you so much for coming to our aid” she said.
I simply smile and help her up.
“Please don’t thank me, I only did what I thought is the right thing”
“But I still have to thank you, if you hadn’t intervened I don’t think Dan would still be alive” she said.
“Yes, thank you Miss Aurora” he said.
“Well then, you’re welcome!”
The maid quickly pass me the chair she was sitting, I told her it’s ok, I can stand but she insisted I sat on it, so I did.
“Daniel, I can see you’ve recovered quite alright”
“Yes, ma’am. The General specifically told the doctor to take good care of me”
I rolled my eyes, I don’t wanna hear his name.
“That’s good” I said.
There’s a brief silence.
“What’s your name?” I asked the maid.
“Oh, I’m Cassandra!” She said.
“Wow, it’s a nice name”
“Thanks”
I nod. “Cassandra, would you mind excusing us for a moment?”
“Ok!” She replies and steps out of the room. I listened until I couldn’t hear her footsteps anymore.
“Miss Aurora, not to be rude, but why did you come here?” Dan asked.
“It’s about that stuff we talked about,,, I want us to work together and find out who the main boss is”
“T-then, what about my family?”
“Don’t worry, I will think of a way to save them, just cooperate with me”
“Ma’am, I don’t want anything to happen to my family, are you sure you can save them? Or should we get the General involved?”
“Leave Dean out of this, I will save your family”
“But how?”
“Hand me over!”
He frowns.
“Hand you over?”
“Yes, I’m the one they want, if you can hand me over to them your family will be safe”
“B-but the General,,, does he know about this?”
“Forget about the General, he has nothing to do with this!”
“B-but,,,, ”
“I’m the only one who can save your family. I will have to leave now, we will talk about it again when you are fully recovered”
He opens his mouth and close it, I guess he wanted to say something but decided against it.
I pass him a smile and head out. If I can find my parents killer, I won’t mind dying in the process of killing him. I’d die in peace knowing I’ve revenge my parents and they can rest in peace.

This idea Miss Aurora came up with is messed up, I don’t think handing her over is the right way.
Should I tell the General about this? But what if this is really the only way to save my Mom and sister?
I’m confused.
