A Broken Heart (KimChay fanfic)

Chapter 63 - The call

It was the start of a new day, and like always, we were waiting to hear from Fred. P'Kim was doing alright, both Matteo and I helped him so he didn't move his shoulder. The doctor comes by twice a day to do a little bit of physical therapy and to check the wound, but everything is alright so far.

After a little discussion with Matteo, we came to the conclusion that today was the day we would tell P'Kim everything. We wanted him to heal a bit first and relax, but he needs to know, it's his father after all.

"So are you ready to tell me what is going on?" P'Kim asks, as he has been doing for the past two days

"Yes." I say, and he looks at me with a smile

"What's going on then?" He asks as Matteo and I sit on each side of the bed

"During the encounter, Chay noticed Korn was acting weird, and if we give it a thought, he has been acting weird for a long time now. We did a blood test, and the results revealed that there was a toxin in Korn's blood that was interfering with his brain. The toxin is rare, and we were able to find out that it was present in the paints that my mom used. We think that my mom poised your dad, and now he is getting... medically crazy." Matteo says trying to be sensitive, but to our surprise, P'Kim just burst out laughing

"Sorry. It's just that we say he is crazy, but now he is really crazy..." P'Kim says, calming down "How's Tankhun handling it?"

"He has been a bit quieter than normal, but I think he is okay, just taking his time processing everything." I say "Are you okay?"

"Yes, I think so. It's not like he was a great father, I don't have reasons to be sad..."

"You can be sad, he was your father regardless." I say

"I know, but he did a lot of bad things, I can't feel sad for him. I wish I could." He says as he takes a deep breath "I'm just relieved that you two finally told me what was happening. I hated not knowing."

"You needed to rest, Kim, and you spent most of the time sleeping." Matteo says touching P'Kim's hair

"I know, but I'm better now. I can start physical therapy in a week."

"We know." I start "But this is a sensitive matter to your family, and we three still have to discuss a lot of things regarding this, so we wanted to give you the time to rest."

"I know, angel, thank you."

"Do you feel well enough that we can discuss something?" I ask, touching the hand on his good arm

"Yes, please. This resting life wasn't made for me." he says, sounding almost desperate for something mafia-related to do

"What should we do with Korn?" Matteo asks "He isn't in his right mind, and I didn't want to do anything without your opinions."

"Have you contacted Kinn and Porsche?" P'Kim asks

"No. We were waiting for you to wake up and discuss everything. I also wanted Korn to stay here for some time in case we could get something out of him." Matteo answered

"Do we have news about your mother?"

"Fred already contacted the store, and there is a person with a Thai name that goes there every month to go buy paints. We suspect that he is one of Korn's men, but we are still waiting. There are always men rounding the store, and we are observing everything. It's only a matter of time until we find her. They don't know that's the connection we have, so they won't change that." Matteo explains

"Why aren't you with them?" P'Kim asks

"I need to stay in Italy. You are sick, and I'm not leaving Korn in my house alone. I trust Fred, as soon as he has a lead, I will get on a jet and head to them."
