Eventually Chai seemed ok to move on, from the ICU to the HCU and finally the normal ward.
Many people visited him. Old classmates, ex-colleagues and all his sisters.

"Hi, you are?"
"Oh hi..., i am.. um... Chai's friend."
Chai was still nursing a lacerated thoat and his damaged vocal chords could only manage a hoarse reply.
"This is Feng, we used to date each other."
And even though with multiple tubes running all over, Chai managed a weak smile at Feng.
For the first time in 30 years, Pin felt a tinge of jealousy.
