Day Fifty-Two…
~~*****~~
Aiden, Cherry, and Ethan headed to the hospital to see Nathan. They were going to ask him about Phantomflake's whereabouts. This time, Aiden was confident to face Nathan since Ethan would back them up.
"Little Ethan, why did you suddenly become curious about the patient?" Aiden kept asking the young boy while driving the car.
"Because she looks familiar to me. By the way, Uncle Aiden and Miss Cherry, what happened to that patient? Do you know the name of that patient?" Little Ethan asked them back.
"She was in a coma for two years. And her name is Jane… Jane Frost," Cherry was the one who answered him.
Ethan's eyes shone brightly when he heard that. He was now grinning from ear to ear as if he had just won the lottery.
'Yey! I knew it! That's my Mom! She's my Mom! She is back to her original body. That's why she regained consciousness!'
Ethan was as happy as a clam. He would never forget what Phantomflake revealed to him.
[ "I have another identity… not as Abigail Scarlett… I'm Jane Frost… That's my real name. My soul got lost and I am possessing this body temporarily." ] Ethan could still remember those exact words Phantomflake had shared with him.
'I don't have to go somewhere. My Mom is with Dad. But why did he capture her? For what reason?' Ethan mused to himself.
Setting aside those lingering questions in his mind, Ethan was very excited to meet Jane. As he promised her, he would always recognize her soul in whatever body she was in.
On the other hand, Aiden and Cherry exchanged glances with one another, wondering why Ethan's mood brightened up suddenly. He didn't look sad anymore, unlike yesterday. What made him happy?
"Uncle! Can you drive faster? Dad might leave the hospital since he is transferring Miss Abi to our medical facility." Ethan urged Aiden to drive faster.
"Yes, Boss! I'm on it." Aiden said, speeding off.
However, the moment they arrived at the hospital, Nathan was no longer there. They were now in transit, going to the Medical Facility. Stephen was also following them. He didn't get the chance to talk to Nathan because he was being avoided by him.
Aiden's group and Stephen were both chasing after Nathan. They proceeded to the Medical Facility where Abigail would be staying in the meantime to receive her treatment.
Aiden's group and Stephen met each other at the entrance of the medical facility.
"Why are you here?" Stephen questioned Aiden, his gaze darting from Cherry and Ethan. Stephen looked at his best friend suspiciously. 'What is he planning? Making some trouble again?'
Aiden just smiled at him sheepishly, feeling a little bit guilty. But there was no backing down now. Ethan was now involved here. He was the first one who approached them, asking about Phantomflake's whereabouts.
"I'm just Ethan's driver today. He wants to talk to his father so Cherry and I accompanied him," Aiden said as an excuse, hiding his real intention from Stephen.
"I don't buy that. Please, don't make trouble here, Aiden." Stephen sounded so serious. He was so stressed lately so he wasn't in a good mood.
Aiden just pouted his lips and turned to Ethan, asking for his support. Soon, Little Ethan stepped up to defend his Uncle Aiden.
"Don't get mad at him, Uncle Steph. I was the reason why they were here. I asked them to drive me here because I want to talk to my father regarding your patient. I heard that he took her away from your place."
Stephen frowned when he heard that. When he looked at Aiden, the guy was no longer looking at his eyes. He was guilty. 'I knew it. His blabbering mouth revealed something to Ethan once more. I've already warned him but he didn't listen.'
Stephen shot Aiden with a cold sharp glare. Aiden could only hide behind Cherry. Stephen, surprisingly, looked frightening today. He was mad at him.
"Ethan, don't get involved here. This is a concern between your Dad and me. I'm here to talk to him. We will settle our issues by ourselves. No need to intervene." Stephen didn't want Ethan to confront his father about Phantomflake. Nathan would be displeased by this. He might think that they were using Ethan just to save Phantomflake.
"Uncle Steph, you can't stop me. I have my own issues and concerns, that's why I'm here," Ethan stubbornly replied.
'I'm here to find my Mom.' Ethan added to his thoughts.
"I tried telling everyone what I know but no one believed me! Now, I'm doing it. My Way!" The young boy added with so much conviction in his words.
Cherry and Aiden had the urge to clap their hands and commend Ethan. He was bravely confronting Stephen, how much more his father?
"Ethan, you are still a child. Things are a bit more complicated than what you know… and what you think." Stephen tried to make the young boy realize that there were things he couldn't understand fully.
"Uncle… I don't care about those things. I'm just here to find Miss Jane Frost. That's all." Ethan didn't want to argue further with Stephen. He moved ahead without waiting for them. Cherry followed him behind. This was her first time in this facility.
Meanwhile, Stephen immediately grabbed Aiden. "We will talk after this."
Aiden could only bob his head in obedience. Stephen looked scary when mad. Soon, the four of them entered the facility, searching for Nathan. Unfortunately, Nathan left as soon as Abigail was settled inside her ward.
"Where is my Dad?" Ethan asked the medical staff.
"Young Master, your Dad left as something urgent came up. You can call him and ask where he is going." The medical staff didn't expect to see the young master today.
Little did they know, Nathan was on his way to the Syphiruz Mafia headquarters. Phantomflake requested his presence once more.
"Fine. Just let me borrow your laptop! I'm going to track him." Ethan was already losing his patience. He could no longer wait to find out where his Dad brought Jane.
Everyone was rendered speechless as they gazed at Ethan with disbelief.
'What? This young kid knows how to track someone's location?'
