Day Forty-Three…
~~*****~~
[ At Stephen's Place… ]
Stephen and Cherry were closely monitoring Phantomflake. Just a while ago, she moved once again. Stephen already informed Nathan about this.
The two had been standing next to Phantomflake's sickbed, watching over her. It did not take long before they saw another movement.
"Doc! I think her eyes blinked! She is waking up!" Cherry grabbed Stephen's elbow using her left hand. Then she pointed her right hand at Phantomflake's face.
Stephen was speechless when he saw that movement. But the most awaited thing happened. Phantomflake suddenly opened her eyes!
Stephen: "Jane!"
Cherry: "Sis!"
The two didn't know how they would react upon seeing Phantomflake awake. She even blinked her eyes twice.
Stephen waved his hand in front of her eyes. "Miss Jane… can you see us? Can you hear us? If you do, please blink your eyes."
"Sis! Please… Sis!" Cherry began to shed tears, watching Phantomflake.
Stephen was still confirming if Phantomflake could hear them when a magical creature dashed inside the room. Bam-Bam flew toward Phantomflake's sickbed while holding a small crystal ball.
"Oh no!!! Abigail's soul escaped from my magic ball and transfused to Phantom's body. Nooo. This is not yet the time. I have to capture her soul and put it back into this magic ball." Bam-Bam moved with urgency. He looked at Phantomflake problematically.
"Miss Jane! Can you hear me?" Stephen asked her once more with his elated voice.
"Sis Phantom!" Cherry grabbed Phantomflake's hand.
Phantomflake looked at them and her lips moved as if she wanted to speak. But she was too weak to utter a word. Her voice was too low for Stephen and Cherry to hear.
What Stephen did was remove her oxygen mask and he leaned closer to her face, trying to hear what she was trying to say.
"I-I'm…"
Stephen lowered his head further, pressing his ear closer to her lips.
"A…bi… gail…"
Stephen frowned when he heard that. 'What did she say? Did she just mention Abigail?'
"Jane… Can you repeat it?" Stephen asked her again.
"Steph! Something is wrong with Sis! She closed her eyes again!" Cherry began to panic.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The loud noise of the machine echoed inside the room. Phantomflake's blood pressure was going down. It looked like she went into shock and her heart stopped beating!
"Nooo!"
The private nurses immediately responded when they heard the emergency signal coming from the room. Stephen moved quickly to revive Phantomflake.
"Doc Steph. Please save my sis! Please save her!"
Phantomflake's room was in a chaotic state. Everyone was trying their best to keep her alive. Meanwhile, Bam-Bam wiped his sweat using his paws.
"Sigh! I almost made a big mistake. Phantomflake will lecture me big time once she learns about this." Bam-Bam heaved a sigh of relief. He took Abigail's soul out of Phantomflake's body. Going into shock was just a natural reaction for taking out Abigail's soul.
Bam-Bam finally returned and he found the soul of the real Abigail! He couldn't let the two souls switch otherwise, things would become more complicated.

[ At EDSJ Five Star Hotel… ]
Clueless about what was happening to her real body, Abigail aka Phantomflake, was focused on watching the last performance of the top artists of Star Corp Entertainment.
The performance was about to end when Richard invited Abigail to go somewhere to meet someone.
"Miss Abi, come with me. I'll introduce you to the person who gave us a big project."
Abigail just nodded her head. She knew that this project would be very beneficial to the real Abigail. She would accept this for the real Abigail's sake. She had to behave and be friendly toward the investors.
When Abigail stood up, Ana and Dave also stood up to follow her but Richard stopped the two.
"Ana and Mr. Dave, I'm sorry but you have to stay here. The investor only wants to talk to the main lead. Don't worry. I will be there to accompany Abigail during her conversation with the investor." Richard explained to Abigail's escort and her manager.
Dave glanced at Abigail, asking her opinion regarding this matter. In the end, Abigail motioned for them to stay. She could deal with this by herself.
"I'll be back in a while. This won't take too long. I will just greet our sponsor." Abigail reassured them.
Alexander, aka the Dragon Lord, already left the venue. He chose a much quieter place than the venue. He would like to properly introduce himself to her.
He was waiting on a balcony of an executive suite near the venue. He prepared a bouquet of flowers for Abigail and an extravagant gift for her comeback. He wondered if he could gain her attention through this.
Nathan Sparks was rich so he had to show her that he was wealthier than Nathan, thinking that Abigail could easily be tempted by money.
As Richard and Abigail secretly left the venue, someone saw them. It was Amara. She caught them passing through the backdoor since the two didn't want to catch other people's attention.
"Ahuh! I knew it! Something fishy is going on between the two. My poor Nadia. Her fiancé is cheating on her. Hmm. I have to follow them and report this to Nadia." A sly smile appeared on her face.
"She keeps defending her fiancé. Hmm. Now. To see is to believe! Aunt Priyanshi will not like this as well. You are both doomed, Abigail Scarlett and Richard Chang!" Amara secretly followed Abigail and Richard.
She gasped when she saw them entering an executive suite! She picked up her phone and took a photo of Richard and Abigail.
"I got you… Cheaters!" Amara checked the photos. She was satisfied with her shots. Now, she could convince Nadia to believe her.
"Now. Time to get the victim. She has to see this with her own eyes. Hmm, but I have to wait… we must catch them in the act. I think I will have to call Nadia after fifteen minutes."
"Hmm. Is fifteen minutes enough for the two to take off their clothes and make out?" Amara started to strategize her next move.
