"Gabbyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!" a little boy clothed fully in white heard his name, he looked around but saw no one, everywhere was just white. He became so scared and started crying.
"Mommy??..Daddy??..*sniff* where are you????..Gabby is very scared" Gabby said as he sat on the ground, he didn't know where he was and couldn't remember anything.
He was still crying when he saw two pair of feet few meters from him, he then looked up only to see his grandpa with someone else he couldn't recognize.
"Grandpa Tharn!!!!!!" Gabby yelled in happiness, finally he has seen someone that he recognizes
He stood up and wanted to run and hug him but was stopped by a shout
"Gabby baby noooo!!! Don't come closer my child, you can't come here now okay, it really isn't your time, you need to go back" Tharn said
"But why Grandpa?? I want to hug you, it's been so long I saw you, Grandpa who is that by your side??" Gabby asked confusedly
"He's the love of my life, my only one..Type Jongcheeveevat, he's your other grandpa, you and your father didn't get to meet him. He died after giving birth to your daddy" Tharn smiled as he held Type's hands which made Type smile sweetly
"Grandpa Type??...I want to hug you Grandpa Type" Gabby said taking a step forward but Type shook his head in disapproval
"My sweet grandson, you cannot hug us now okay..there's time for everything, you have to go now, don't you want to be with your sweet precious parents and cute little sister?" Type asked calmly making Gabby to enthusiastically nod his head
"But I can't find them anywhere Grandpa" said Gabby meekly
"Son listen, we know you're very angry at your Dad but please don't punish him too much okay, he loves you all. Take care of your parents, they need you more than ever, I love you son" Tharn said
"Grandpa are you not coming back with me" Gabby asked confusedly but Tharn quickly shook his head
"I'm never going back, I only belong here with your Grandpa Type, go now Gabby before it becomes to late, we love you so much" Tharn said while holding on Type tightly
"I'm sorry son but you're Grandpa Tharn can't join you back, I have waited years for him, we can't part with each other ever again. Son listen, do not believe anything your step grandma says or does okay, she is not as good as you all think, including servant Jing, ok baby?" Type said to little Gabby who nodded though he was somehow confused on what his grandpa Type said
"Close your eyes son, imagine your parents and little sister then you would be back to where you belong, we love you. Take care of everyone for us" Tharn said and Gabby did as he was told.
Gabby felt like he falling from a very high cliff that never ceased to finish. He then felt sharp pain on his chest and gasped for breath.

Crying Gulf clung unto crying Mew after the announcement of their son's death. One of the assistants of Mr Qiang had to even take Ava away from Gulf who was crying hysterically.
Mew hugged Gulf tightly, he wanted to die too..he couldn't believe his precious son was dead.
"Mew..Mew please..Mew please bring my baby back, Heavens please if I sinned against you I'm sorry, bring my son back..you can take me instead" Gulf cried while lamenting his pains as he held on Mew for support. He didn't care that he wasn't in good terms with Mew, he just wanted Mew to help him bring their son back.
"Gulf please I-I'm sorry..Gabby..I'm so useless..I didn't look after my son properly, Please bring him back, Father please help me..I haven't atoned for my sins against him, bring my baby back, I am the one that deserves to die..Almighty please!!!" Mew cried, he wanted to comfort Gulf but he was highly in pain too, all he could do was wrap Gulf tightly in his arms
Mr Qiang shook his head dejectedly, he was also in pain, poor Gabby is dead..so soon, so young. He was about to cover Gabby with a white clothe when suddenly the dead prince gasped for breath.
Mew and Gulf were stuck in their world of misery and depression that they didn't notice the other assistants of Mr Qiang taking Gabby into another room for a surgery.
"My King!!!!! My Queen!!! A miracle! A miracle!! Heaven be praised!!! The Prince has risen!!!" Mr Qiang shouted in joy almost jumping in joy, his voice vibrating and echoing in the room startling both Mew and Gulf who looked confused, eyes were already red and swollen due to their endless cries
"O-our Gabby, our own son is alive??" Mew asked and Gulf waited for Mr Qiang to answer
"Yes, my King..I will be right back, you both should wait here" Mr Qiang then took his leave.
Gulf looked confusedly at Mew
"Mew??..did he say that our son is alive?? But Gabby was cold, are they sure Mew?? What if he's joking with us??" Gulf asked Mew, he was afraid that it was a lie
"Gulf listen to me okay, let's have faith, we have faith, our baby cannot leave us like that okay, he is alive and struggling for his life. He would come back to us, don't panic, everything will be alright, you aren't alone in this, we're in this together, our son is well and alive" Mew said also convincing himself internally
"I hope so Mew, I believe in the Heavens, they can't take our son, they can't take our Gabby" Gulf muttered relaxing in Mew's arms, his safe haven as they waited for Mr Qiang to come back.
*********
The Queen Mother went to the dungeon where servant Jing was kept. But the guards weren't allowing anyone pass till the King give them any order.
"We're sorry Queen Mother but no one is allowed except his majesty himself. The heir apparent to the throne was severely harmed. We are sorry but please go back to your chamber till the King arrives" Guard Feng said to Mew's mother, him and other guards were on high alert. They didn't care who was who now, all they knew is that their Prince was greatly harmed in their presence. They couldn't spare anyone now.
"Do you know who you're speaking to huhh?? You lowly guard, you dare!!!! Let me in now or I will ask my son for your head!!!" she angrily threatened but the guards didn't even shake or move an inch, they guarded there and acted like no one spoke.
Mew's mother got frustrated and took her leave.
'This isn't how it was supposed to be,I am supposed to release her by now, who could have known that the guards wouldn't listen to my command..my God!! What if they torture the truth out of my daughter!! Oh no!!' The Queen mother thought anxiously as she paced around her room.
*********
Mew and Gulf who had slept off in each other's arms were awoken by a tap on their shoulders. They looked and stood up on seeing Mr Qiang.
"Mr Qiang, our son?? Is he well?? Is he alive?? Were you playing with us?? Take us to him, take me to him please, I want to see my son now" Gulf said about crying again but Mew rubbed his back gently
"My Queen, you don't have to bother anymore. Prince Gabby has a fighting spirit just like you. It's a really great miracle. Heavens be thanked for that. He's well and alive, follow me" Mr Qiang said and took them to another room.
On reaching there, they saw their son unconscious and wrapped in a bandage around his chest, he was breathing lightly.
"Luckily, the person missed the target, I have a hunch the person aimed for his heart, he/she slightly missed it. It was a sharp deep cut though. We're so lucky that Prince survived the attack.
"Thank you a lot Mr Qiang, you shall be rewarded greatly for bringing my heir back" Mew thanked sincerely
"I didn't, it was the Heavens King Mew" Mr Qiang said and bowed before taking his leave for now.
"Thanks father wherever you are, all thanks unto the Heavens the most" Mew said to himself
"I'm so sorry baby, I'm sorry I left you alone and sat somewhere else, I will never do it again, I love you my son, wake up fast please, your mommy is waiting for you" Gulf said and kissed his son's forehead and cheek before seating on a chair next to Gabby's bed while holding his little palms
Mew also went over to Gabby and kissed his forehead
"Wake up fast son, you're strong and brave. The only heir I could ever ask for, we are worried about you, we love you so much, I promise to avenge this. Someone wants to tear us all apart, when I get back to the Palace I promise to handle this" Mew said as he caresses his son's cheeks, he then sat on a chair beside Gulf, waking for their son to be awake.
Gulf felt like something was still missing and saw that Ava wasn't with either him or Mew, he panicked immediately
"Mew where's Ava?? Where's my baby???" Gulf anxiously asked
"Don't panic Gulf, let me get her..an assistant of Mr Qiang took her when you were crying" Mew stood up and left. He came back minutes later with Ava and gently handed her over to Gulf.
"Thanks" Gulf said to Mew
"You're welcome" Mew said as he looked at Gulf with eyes full of love and longing.
