Mua Kong did not react to Yee Len but just stares emptily at the piles of work on his table . After a moment, Mua Kong took a deep breath before opening the stack of Intel information he received from both the Northern and Southern Countries . He had sent in spy to infiltrate both countries since the missing of Hli Ja . His spies were to find any news related to Hli Ja and also information of the country that could help him later on .
Yee Len looked over by the study room feeling complicated . It is always such a complicated matter telling his Lord to have some food to keep his body nourished . He already dispatched someone to go buy some medicines for his master . The last time when the boy gave them the medicines, it improved his Lord's complexion but that did not last long . The medicines only lasted for a week and they were constantly on the go so it was hard for Yee Len to take care of his Lord's health properly .
Now that they are back in the estate, he is going to do what he can and know to help improve his Lord's health .
With a complex expression, Yee Len uttered, "My Lord, food is best taken when it's still warm . I'll leave it here . " He then walked out and standby outside the door .

Mua Kong glanced over at the table and slowly got up from his chair proceeding over to the table . He stood up looking down at the dishes with the aroma so familiar . Mua Kong's heart clenched at the smell of the food, he reached his hand down and grabbed a piece of meat and threw it in his mouth . After a few chews, signs of life appeared in his eyes . The food taste so similar!
Mua Kong gasped as his body trembled . He propped his hand on the table and shook his head slightly on how the food came to be so similar . He has not taste those dishes since the missing of Hli Ja .
Mua Kong looked around before rushing out the door to call for Yee Len .
"Yee Len!" Mua Kong huffed with a shock expression .

Yee Len was startled, he thought the food was poisoned when his Lord shouted his name?
"Wh . . . who made the food tonight?!" Mua Kong asked .
Seeing his Lord's still standing with a shocked expression, maybe the food tasted bad?
"Um . . I was told that Elder Mae got a new kitchen staff . A young boy passing by who needed money to support his little brother in their travels begged to be employed for a month until he earned enough money . "

"Bring him here!" Mua Kong ordered .
Yee Len was confused with the sudden command but he complied . "Yes!" As he turned around, a loud BANG sound was heard in the study room .
Mua Kong and Yee Len looked at each other perplexed, they rushed inside the study room, looked around, and they did not see anything .
Mua Kong's pupils dilated as if he realized something . He rushed behind the wall divider to where his bed was . What he saw on the ground was a little boy, about 3 years old with tears swelled in his eyes trying not to cry and a chair close to the wall . The little boy held his tears with a sad expression looking at the picture hanging on the wall . Mua Kong's vision fixated on the boy . He could guess what the boy was doing just from the sight .
Behind Mua Kong, Yee Len walked forward and bewildered at what he saw . He unconsciously blurted out, "My Lord, that's exactly what you looked like when you were a baby, big round eyes, chubby cheeks, stubby fingers with little dimples on your fingers . You were round all around . "
The little boy noticed the two stranger men looking at him . He had been found out! Even though he had been quite the whole time, he lost his composure and fell off the chair he was standing on . The little boy wanted to cry but also wanted to scream for help . His forehead was bruised as he fell forward banging his head on the wall when he tried to reach for the picture on the wall . His knees hurt when he hit the ground landing on his knee first .
With a very guilty expression, the little boy looked down not making eyes contact at the two stranger men and mumbled, "Houa Houa is not bad . Houa Houa want mommy . " When he said mommy, he looked up and pointed to the picture hanging on the wall .
