## Back Story

After talking with him, the older boy decided that he would give him as a present to his mother. At first, Bik was in shock and kept telling her son that he couldn't bring in random homeless children. But after much begging from her son, the nurse cleaned up the little boy and took him out to lunch. Later that evening, she took Chih home with them. Bik and Hen-to wound up taking in the orphaned child as their own with the help of Khai Liao. Initially, Chih was a rather bratty child because he wasn't used to having structure and rules in the his young life. However over time, he grew up into a polite young man.
