Never Judge

"When? How? Cedric give us the details." Miguel said as he sat up and leaned forward, eager to hear what Cedric had to say. 

"Mae is in Singapore right now, trying to see if the nurse will be willing to meet with us." Cedric said with a shrug. "I have given her a week to get this done, and by the looks of it she will get it done by then." Cedric said as he smiled.

"How did a nurse manage to evade us for so long?" Eric asked Cedric.

"He has someone backing him, someone rich and someone powerful." Cedric explained to his friends.

"Lucius." Miguel hissed. "He must have gotten to the nurse before us and hidden him. It wouldn't be too difficult to get that done since he would have been able to get in touch with the orphanage and get the details about the person who left him."

"That actually makes sense." Ian said slowly as he scratched his chin and thought of Miguel's idea. 

"I can't believe we didn't consider Lucius." Cedric said with a laugh. 

"Then what is Lucius waiting for?" Eric asked as he thought long and hard about the situation. 

"Do you think he knows that the real Andrew Chan is dead?" Ian asked Cedric as he looked up from his seat.

"I don't even know if Lucius Ting knows that he isn't Andrew Chan." Cedric said as he scratched his chin.

"How can he not be sure about who he is?" Miguel asked with a confused look on his face, his expression was as if Cedric had told them the most ridiculous thing ever.

"If I'm not mistaken, Lucius only knows about his identity because Aiden told him, and Aiden only found things out because of his own investigation." Cedric said as he thought about the implications of Lucius not knowing. 

"Do you think he would back down if we found his real identity?" Miguel asked.

"He might." Cedric said with a nod. "He is only going after us because he thinks he is Andrew Chan, but if the real Andrew Chan is dead, then that means his family may still be out there."

"We should look for his family then, give him closure. In a way he is also a victim in all this." Eric added.

"I agree, but I worry about his dangerous plans. If his family abandoned him too or his parents, what is stopping him from going after them the way he is going after us?" Miguel asked. 

"We might need to talk to him, eventually." Eric said with a shrug.

"Something still doesn't make sense to me." Ian said as he looked out Cedric's window in deep thought.

"What is it?" Cedric asked.

"The nurse, if it's Lucius that's behind all of this, why didn't he tell him that he isn't Andrew Chan?" Ian asked, making more sense than Cedric wanted.

"Maybe he is after the lifestyle Lucius has given him?" Eric asked.

"Maybe…" Cedric said as his voice trailed away as he tried to consider all of the evidence in front of them.

"Ced." Adrianna called out from the door as she entered. "The others have arrived, plus we need to get the boys to school if we don't want them to be late."

"Oh, right, school." Cedric said, shaking his head. "We'll be out in a bit Adri. Have someone bring the cars up front." 

Adrianna nodded and smiled at her husband as she left and closed the door behind her.

"I'm so happy you didn't marry some social climbing bitch." Miguel said with a laugh as Adrianna closed the door.

"No social climber would have married me." Cedric said with a smile. "I'm extremely lucky to have Adri, and I'm glad her parents changed before they knew about my identity. I would have hated to see my mother-in-law setting up dates for my four year old son." Cedric joked making everyone laugh.

"I think a lot of mothers and grandmothers are already trying to guess where Yoyo and Tristan would be studying, I'm sure they are trying to prepare their children as early as now." Eric said with a sigh.

"It's a sad reality." Cedric said as he shook his head in frustration. 

"Yoyo is never going to be seen in public again, is he?" Miguel asked Cedric. 

Cedric responded by shaking his head. 

"He probably won't." Cedric told his friend. "If I want the kind of training I have planned to work, Yoyo will need to be as low profile as possible. He can show his face once in a while, but it can only be at events where there is very little press."

"Dominic and Tristan will probably experience the opposite, just like us." Miguel said with a sigh. 

"Well, I was quite low profile growing up, it's what let me pursue a career in acting, remember?" Eric reminded his brother.

"You were just too lazy to go with mom and dad, that's why I had to go all the time." Miguel grumbled, making everyone else laugh.

"Anyway, so when are we flying out to meet this nurse?" Eric asked Cedric.

"In a week." Cedric confirmed. He had given may one week to get the nurse on her side, but he wanted to spend more time with his son at home. Add to that the latest investments that the Reyes Group had entered, Cedric needed to stay in the country a little bit longer.

"I'll make sure to arrange things." Miguel said with a nod.

"Maybe I can get an endorsement that involves filming in Singapore, it would make the perfect excuse." Eric said as he thought of an excuse to join his siblings and friend. 

"Just ask Ram to think of some sort of promotional material for Lights Entertainment, bring a long a few other actors and you have the perfect excuse." Cedric suggested.

"I'll try that." Eric said with a nod.

"Guy, I think we should go." Ian said as he looked at his watch. "The kids need to get to school, I'm sure Yoyo is going to cry when we drop him off." 

Cedric smiled and nodded as he wordlessly got up and left with them.
