Day Forty-Five…
~~*****~~
Abigail, Nathan, and Ethan were on their way to the Sparks Mansion when she noticed the exchanges of conversation between Madam Lu and Old Master Yan's private nurse. She recognized the nurse's voice.
She already had a suspicion that Madam Lu might be the culprit who wanted her dead. She could see the greed in her eyes when the family was talking about the Yan Group.
Her suspicion started when she met her at EDSJ Five Star Hotel during the Star Gala Night. She observed how she reacted the moment she showed up in front of them.
Furthermore, with the help of Nathan, she found out that Madam Lu and her daughter, Amara were the ones who leaked the photo of her and Richard to the media and reporters, making false reports and fake news.
The mother and daughter duo gave her troubles. She wondered if one of them wanted to get rid of her. Aside from planting a bugging device on Madam Lu, Abigail also did the same to Amara.
The night before the lunch gathering in the Yan Family Mansion, Abigail asked another favor from Butler Li. She sent him to buy those spying devices. She borrowed money from him instead of asking Nathan because she didn't want Nathan to know that she was good at spying on someone.
Abigail was silently and secretly listening through her earphone. Nathan and Ethan thought she was only listening to music.
Abigail's face contorted when the nurse mentioned Old Master Yan. She already expected that Madam Lu would talk about her, but not about Old Master Yan.
'What the hell? Are they making the old man ill? Don't tell me they are the reasons why his health is not improving and his health is deteriorating each day?' Abigail subconsciously clenched her fist and ground her teeth. Just thinking about it, Abigail's raging fury surged up and she felt the urge to beat someone.
"Miss Abi? Mom… are you okay? Is there something wrong?" Little Ethan asked her worriedly. He sensed that Abigail was not in a mood. Her face looked so grim and angry.
Nathan also turned in her direction to watch her face. He was also puzzled as to why Abigail's eyes were burning with rage.
"Abi, are you mad?" Nathan also asked her. His eyes shifted from her face to the flowers she was gripping tightly in her hands. "Do you hate the flowers I gave you?"
Abigail's train of thought was interrupted by both father and son. She concealed her negative emotions and smiled at them awkwardly.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just remembered some bad guys who made my blood boil," Abigail said meaningfully. Her mind was already imagining she was torturing the nurse and Madam Lu.
'How could they? I won't forgive them for harming Abigail's grandfather!' Phantomflake thought to herself.
"Nate, Ethan… I think… I should stay with my grandfather today. Can you send me back to the Yan Mansion after getting my personal clothes?" There was a sense of urgency in her voice.
Both Ethan and Nathan exchanged glances with one another. They wanted to object, but the worry was evident in her eyes. They could only agree with her request.
Twenty minutes later, the three of them reached the Sparks Mansion. Abigail headed straight to her room and packed her things. Ethan just watched Abigail's closed door with a sad expression on his face.
Nathan was also unhappy with this sudden separation from Abigail. He thought she would still stay at the mansion tonight. But for some unknown reason, Abigail decided to go back to Yan Family Mansion immediately.
Nathan glanced at his son. He could only sigh deeply as he tapped Ethan's head.
"Son, don't be sad. Abigail's grandpa is sick. He needs her, that's why she decided to go back today. She is worried about him," Nathan softly mumbled, trying to console his son.
"I know, Dad. I understand. I'm sad because I can't see Miss Abi in her room. I can no longer visit her and kiss her goodnight. I won't be able to hug her every morning." Little Ethan became low-spirited.
"You can visit her every day. You have my permission. If you want, I can accompany you. I'll drive you to the Yan Family Mansion just to see her," Nathan volunteered.
Little Ethan gazed up, watching Nathan's face. The young boy arched his eyebrow while looking at his father suspiciously. "Dad, I think you are also sad. Hmm. You want to see her every day too, that's why you are suggesting this to me. Hahaha. Am I right, Dad? Are you just using me as an excuse?"
Ethan began to tease his father. Nathan could only scowl at his son. "I'm trying to console you here, young boy!" Nathan pinched Ethan's cheeks and his cute nose.
"Dad, stop pinching my face and nose!" Ethan complained, hitting his father's hands.
"Alright." Nathan simply released Ethan.
"Dad. I will just go to my room and play with Powy, Riemc, and Star_S." Ethan didn't wait for Nathan's response. He walked away and proceeded to his room. He already figured out that his Dad wanted to talk to Abigail, that's why he also stood outside Abigail's bedroom.
Ethan was a smart boy who could read his father's mind. He left to give the two privacy. When Ethan disappeared, Nathan knocked on the door. Abigail told him to enter as she couldn't open the door for him. She was busy packing her clothes.
Nathan felt a little bit dejected when he saw her luggage. Abigail was putting her things into that small luggage. Nathan could only watch her every movement. He didn't say a word. He just stood there near the door.
After a while, Abigail was done packing. She pulled her luggage and approached Nathan. "I'm ready to go now. Will you drive me to the Yan Mansion or will your Chauffeur send me there instead?"
Nathan didn't respond to her question. Instead, he grabbed her waist and lifted her chin. In a flash, Nathan sealed Abigail's lips with his mouth, kissing her passionately and deeply as if there was no tomorrow.
When Nathan drew back, both of them were already panting as they gasped for air. Their eyes met and they could see the passion in each other's eyes.
This time Abigail released the handle of her luggage. She cupped Nathan's face and kissed him once more. She had to admit that Nathan's lips were like a drug tempting her over and over again until she got addicted to kissing him.
Abigail pushed him on the door until his back was pressed against its hard surface. Then Abigail kissed him hard, her lips devouring his lips and tongue. Her movement was so bold and dominating, matching Nathan's intense kisses.
Nathan could only support her waist while grabbing the back of her head to pull her closer to him. They exchanged deep and hungry french kisses until they became breathless.
Both their hearts were pounding so hard against their chests. The thought of not being together in one house gave them a feeling of longing.
"I'm gonna miss you…" Nathan softly whispered to her when they broke the kiss.
Hearing those words from Nathan, Abigail's heart constricted again and her head throbbed in pain, her vision becoming blurry.
'Shit! Am I going to pass out again? Returning to my body?'
In just a blink of an eye, Abigail collapsed as she lost consciousness in front of Nathan.
