Day Thirty…
~~*****~~
Kathleen walked closer to the sick bed to see the patient's face. She frowned as she noticed that the patient was sound asleep with an oxygen mask.
"Is she gravely ill?" Kathleen murmured to herself. She wanted to have a closer look at her. Then she was surprised to see the beautiful woman in her patient's gown.
"Ahuh, she is beautiful. Don't tell me Nathan took a liking of her. But something is strange. Nathan didn't enter this room and the guards didn't know him at all," Kathleen kept murmuring to herself.
Kathleen searched for the patient's name. But the nameplate on the sick bed was empty. She was about to check her body when someone entered the room.
She jolted and her heart jumped when another person suddenly entered the ward. Did she get caught? Damn!
She froze in her spot, waiting for the guard to say something. But to her surprise, the guy didn't say a word. She just turned around to leave. However, she came to a halt as soon as she saw the man's face.
"Nathan?"
"Kathleen?"
Nathan and Kathleen were both stunned to see each other.
'Gosh! Nathan is here. He looks suspicious to me. But he is so damn hot in this doctor's uniform,' Kathleen thought to herself, eyeing Nathan from top to bottom.
Nathan scanned her as well, wondering why Kathleen was also there inside Phantomflake's ward.
"What are you doing here?" Nathan asked her coldly.
Kathleen smiled sheepishly, scratching her face. She didn't know what to say. She couldn't tell him that she was there as a nurse since Nathan knew she was not a nurse in profession. She was afraid that Nathan would get mad once he learned that she followed him there.
"I am on my on-the-job training. I'm an intern here. How about you?" Kathleen said meekly.
Nathan raised his eyebrow and said, "I'm a resident doctor here," Nathan lied as well. He already knew that Kathleen was lying. He just copied her reason.
Kathleen tried to hold her laughter. Nathan didn't bat an eyelid. If she didn't know him, she would have believed his lies. Kathleen tiptoed and raised her head to look outside. She wondered why she could no longer see the figures of the two bodyguards outside.
Nathan moved and blocked her view. It looked like he was preventing Kathleen to see what was happening behind the door. The two members of the Syphiruz who were also disguised as hospital employees were currently dealing with the two guards.
They injected them with sedatives. When they fell unconscious, the two men moved the guards to the stockroom. Now, they were preparing for a stretcher to move Phantomflake.
"Supreme Leader!" Someone pushed the door open and called Nathan. Kathleen automatically turned to the guy, giving him a puzzled look.
'Who is this? Another personnel? Or just a fake one?' Kathleen was being suspicious of them. 'What did he say? Supreme Leader? What kind of a strange name is that?'
When the guy saw Kathleen, he immediately moved closer to her and grabbed her by her neck. The man was going to attack Kathleen and injected her with the sedative, thinking that Kathleen was a real nurse.
"Hey, what are you doing? Stop that! Nathan! Help!" When Kathleen sensed that the guy planned on doing something bad to her, she immediately asked for Nathan's help.
Nathan just massaged his temples and waved his hands nonchalantly. "Release her. I know her." Nathan didn't want to hurt Kathleen. He knew that Kathleen was there for a reason. He needed to bring her back. He wondered if Aiden had something to do with this.
When the guy released Kathleen, she ran in Nathan's direction and hid at his back. She used him as a shield. She was so scared when she saw the syringe and the long needle. She hated injections.
"Just come with me. And stay silent. We have no time to spare. We should leave now!" Nathan motioned his men. The other guy entered while pushing the stretcher. They had to transfer Phantomflake and get her out of the ward.
"Come, help me," Nathan ordered Kathleen. She just obediently followed him. Nathan let her hold her oxygen mask and the monitor. Then Nathan was the one who carried Phantomflake, transferring her to the stretcher. He was handling her well.
Kathleen just watched his every movement. She was still trying to figure out what Nathan was doing there and his relationship with the patient.
'Damn! Don't tell me he is going to take this patient without permission and consent. Is this abducting?' Kathleen's wild imagination began to act up.
They were about to take her out when Kathleen suddenly stopped them. "Nate, what is the meaning of this? Are you abducting this patient?" Kathleen was not able to hold her curiosity. She confronted Nathan, making the three men stare at her sharply. They were in a rush and here she was stopping them from leaving.
"Don't ask, otherwise, I will leave you here and make you lay down on that bed!" Nathan warned him, pointing his finger at the sick bed.
Kathleen immediately shook her head and closed her mouth. She didn't want to offend Nathan. She regretted asking him that question. Nathan's subordinates were just waiting for his go signal. If he would order them to shut this woman, they would surely obey him.
"Let's go!" Nathan's authoritative voice echoed in the room. Kathleen and the two men immediately followed him.
The four of them began to take Phantomflake out of the ward. Nathan took the alternate route and exited the gate without facing any difficulties. The Red Dragon Mafia made a great mistake. They overlooked this kind of situation.
The Dragon Lord became overconfident in himself. He thought Nathan would not be able to find this hospital. He focused on this negotiation wherein a confrontation between two organizations would happen in the Orion Port. While the Dragon Lord was busy preparing to meet Axel's team, Nathan accomplished his goal of reclaiming Phantomflake back!
