Day Forty-Seven…
~~*****~~
Abigail charged forward, separating the two. She pushed Veronica aside and threw the doctor's coat in front of her to cover her naked body. Then Abigail turned to Nathan with a dark expression on her face.
She grabbed Nathan's hand and dragged him out of Veronica's office. She was so mad at the scene she saw. Nathan just stood there while Veronica stripped naked before his eyes. Was he enjoying the show?
Jealousy was evident on Abigail's face. She continued pulling Nathan by force, without a clear destination in mind. She just stopped when Nathan held her still and opened another door.
He pulled her inside one of the rooms in the hallway.
Bam!
Click!
Nathan closed the door and locked it.
"Calm down," Nathan mumbled, holding her waist in place.
Abigail hissed at him and gazed up, her burning eyes glaring at Nathan.
"How could you–" Abigail's words were interrupted by Nathan's lips. He cupped her face and sealed her lips with a kiss.
Abigail blinked several times. She was supposed to scold him. But here she was being devoured by Nathan's expert lips. When he didn't feel any resistance from her, he deepened the kiss further, leaving them breathless.
Nathan drew back when it was time to gasp for air. There was a cheeky grin on his gorgeous face.
"Are you still jealous?" Nathan asked her teasingly. He found it very fascinating to see Abigail getting jealous like this.
On the other hand, Abigail pursed her lips, rolling her eyes at him.
"You seemed to enjoy the show!" Abigail hit his chest using her fist. Nathan just let out a soft giggle.
"I'm innocent. I didn't touch her." Nathan raised his right hand as he swore to her. He wanted to convince Abigail that he didn't do anything wrong.
"Hmm. Good. Otherwise, I will cut your hands." Abigail threatened him.
Nathan raised his eyebrow and said, "It's your loss. How can I hug you without my hands?"
"Are you trying to Flirt with me now, Mr. Sparks?" Abigail pushed him and grabbed his collar. She pressed her left hand against his chest, gently rubbing and caressing his body in a seductive way.
"Stop teasing me like this, Miss Scarlett. I've been trying my best to restrain myself from ravishing you right here right now." Nathan growled, his eyes darkened with lust.
Abigail's cheeks turned red from embarrassment. She couldn't look straight into Nathan's eyes. She didn't want to admit it but she was getting affected by his seductive words.
"Stop it, Nate. We are here to find out the composition of my grandpa's medicine. We have to uncover the truth behind his worsening condition." Abigail pushed Nathan away as she changed the topic. She was afraid to lose her control as well. She already promised herself that she would try to avoid too much intimacy with Nathan… for the real Abigail's sake.
Meanwhile, Nathan groaned inwardly. He was a little bit disappointed since he couldn't get enough of her. He wanted more intimacy between them but Abigail stopped him immediately.
"Alright. Let's go. The result is out. I was on my way to see it. But Veronica intervened."
Abigail's expression turned sour at the mention of Veronica's name.
"Don't worry. I'll deal with her later. Don't you dare stop me, Nathan Sparks! I don't care if she is Monica's sister!" Abigail's nose flared out in rage and annoyance.
Nathan could only bob his head in obedience. He wouldn't object since Veronica's action was very wrong.
'I think she used some aphrodisiac a while ago. Her scent was too intoxicating. Fortunately, Abigail showed up.' Nathan thought to himself, a cold glint flashing through his eyes.
"I thought you were going to meet the team for your upcoming movie project?" Nathan asked Abigail as they stepped out of the room.
"My grandpa's health is my priority. I requested them to move our schedule this afternoon," Abigail responded.
"Okay. I'll send you to the meeting location." Nathan volunteered. He had nothing to do today. He had no plan of working as the CEO of SYP Twilight Corp. This was his sign of rebellion against his father, Old Man Xu.
Soon, the two of them proceeded to the laboratory. The person who examined the components of the drugs brought by Nathan was already waiting for them to arrive.
The medical staff immediately greeted Nathan and Abigail politely. He invited them in and waited for them to settle down in their respective chairs.
Abigail was dying to know the result of the examination.
"What have you found out? Is the medicine harmful to the patient?" Abigail asked the medical staff expectantly. Though Old Master Yan was not related to her as Phantomflake, she was worried sick about him. This was not only because he was the real Abigail's grandfather. But deep inside, she wished for him to get better and live longer.
'I believe her grandpa will be a good grandfather to her. I can feel his genuine love for the real Abigail.'
The medical staff who is known as the pharmaceutical scientist of Nathan's medical facility showed the documents he printed this morning.
"Honestly, the pills are not harmful to humans once they are taken. There are no aftereffects because the pill is like a pseudo pill or not a real pill. So the good thing is that this pill is not poisonous. However, this med will not treat the cause of the symptoms or speed recovery of the patient."
"It only means… the patient's condition is not improving, yet it is worsening because the patient is not receiving the proper medication he or she should be taking!" The medical staff explained further.
"So in short, this is still harmful to the patient!" Abigail insisted through her gritted teeth. So Madam Lu was trying to lessen her guilt for not providing a poisonous drug to Old Master Yan.
"I think this is also her strategy so that no one will find out. She avoids using direct poisons because they can be detected by the doctors inside Master Yan's system." Nathan expressed his opinion about this.
The scientist nodded his head in agreement.
Abigail grabbed the report and clenched the paper in her fists. "I'm going to destroy them today! We should reveal this truth tonight! Madam Lu and her accomplice must pay ten folds!"
"Okay. I will collect all the pieces of evidence. Go and do what you have to do." Nathan showed his full support to Abigail.
