Day Forty-Four…
~~*****~~
Madam Priyanshi was utterly shocked when she saw the DNA Test result. But it was soon replaced with overwhelming happiness. The wait was over. She finally found the missing daughter of her sister.
Madam Priyanshi grabbed Abigail into a warm hug. She was overjoyed by this discovery. "My niece… You are my niece." Her voice trembled as she began to sob. But her lips were smiling.
She tightened her grip on Abigail's body, stroking her back. "I don't know what to say… I just feel so grateful and happy."
Abigail let Madam Priyanshi embrace her. Madam Priyanshi was her Aunt. And she felt comfortable in her presence. Madam Priyanshi was someone she admired. She was fair enough to listen to her explanation without judging her so easily.
"Your grandfather will be happy to hear this. We've been looking for you. And now, you finally returned to us." Madam Priyanshi couldn't contain her happiness. Though she was shedding tears, deep inside she was rejoicing. She was now reunited with her missing niece.
Abigail could only stay silent. She was just savoring the moment as if she was the real Abigail. She could feel Madam Priyanshi's genuine love for her.
After a while, Madam Priyanshi released Abigail from her tight hug. Then she glanced at Nathan. "Mr. Sparks, Even though I can't figure out how you managed to get a DNA sample of my deceased sister, I have to thank you for doing this. You revealed the truth and you brought my niece to us."
"She deserves this. She has been alone for a long time… without her family by her side. I think… it's the right time for her to know her origin and to be with them." After saying that, Nathan decided to leave, giving the two some privacy. Since the press conference went well, Nathan's presence was no longer needed there.
"I'm going back to the office. I will leave the two of you here," he respectfully bade goodbye to Madam Priyanshi. Then he turned to Abigail, holding her shoulders. "Axel will wait for you, driving you home. See you in the house later." Nathan kissed Abigail's forehead before stepping out of the office.
Abigail and Madam Priyanshi could only watch Nathan's back until he disappeared from their sight.
"Abi… come with me to the Yan Family Mansion. I will tell everyone about you!" Madam Priyanshi mumbled in her elated voice. She held Abigail's hands, squeezing them gently.
"I don't think Nadia will be happy to see me as of this moment. Let's fix the situation first, Auntie. I will pay you a visit tomorrow. I want to prepare myself before meeting the entire members of the Yan Family," Abigail requested.
"Okay. I'll explain this to my daughter. But I can no longer wait to introduce you to them. I will prepare a lunch gathering tomorrow. I will be expecting you and Nathan." Madam Priyanshi reached out, caressing Abigail's right cheek.
She nodded in response. "Okay, Auntie. I will see you tomorrow."
"As much as I want to spend more time with you, but my daughter, Nadia, badly needs me now. She is feeling unwell after the unexpected break-up. Your cousin is having a hard time." Madam Priyanshi took a deep sigh. She looked worried and stressed.
"Don't worry too much, Auntie. If they truly love each other, Nadia and Richard will find their way back to each other. For now, they just need some time and space." Abigail didn't hesitate to express her thoughts and opinion. She also wanted to console her Aunt. She knew how worried she was about Nadia.
"Thank you, Abi. I just hope you and Nadia will get along very well. Treat each other as sisters… or best of friends." Madam Priyanshi was looking forward to seeing Nadia and Abigail becoming close friends.
"I will, Auntie…" Abigail gave her a reassuring smile.
"Okay, Hija. Don't forget tomorrow's lunch gathering at Yan Family Mansion. Bring Nathan with you." Madam Priyanshi reminded her while she dotingly stared at her.
'She is a young version of my sister, Alyssa. Oh… I miss her already. Sis. I found your daughter!'
Madam Priyanshi left the Star Corp Entertainment Building with some happy thoughts. She couldn't wait to see her father's reactions once he learned that Alyssa's daughter was found.
In contrast to Madam Priyanshi's joyful reaction, two women felt upset and furious about today's turn of events. Veronica and Helena watched the press conference. They witnessed how Nathan acted like the sweetest boyfriend in the world.
Nathan kissed Abigail on the lips in front of the crowd. The live broadcast was shown on national television and posted to online world. He supported Abigail for the whole duration of the press con. He never left her side. Both Veronica and Helena felt threatened by this.
Veronica was currently running on a rampage inside her unit. She kept throwing and breaking things just to vent her anger. She felt betrayed. How could Nathan choose Abigail? She was just a mere stranger to him! How could he fall for that woman? Veronica couldn't accept this fact.
Slam!
Thud!
Crash!
"I'm gonna kill her. I don't want to see her in this world. She stole Nathan from me. She must die!"
Veronica imagined that Abigail was the one she was throwing! She wanted to break her, torture her and kill her!
On the other hand, Helena had been staring at her laptop. Her eyes were sharp as she watched Abigail's press con for the second time around. Nathan and Abigail were both displayed on her screen.
"Nathan already announced to the public that he was in a relationship with Abigail. What are they up to? This will break the deal between Chairman Xu and my Dad. Is he not afraid of the consequences of his actions?"
But this was not the only problem she was thinking about. She felt the need to do something about Abigail.
'So many people want to kill her. What a great opportunity to ride on.' A sly smile flashed on her face.
"Abigail lied. She said she couldn't remember anything… how come she recalled the incident in her room, even the culprit? She sounds very suspicious to me. I have to warn and inform Vincent about this. We need to move!"
"This is Code Red."
