Day Fifty-Six…
~~*****~~
'This can't be!' Aiden screamed inside his mind as he watched Dave and Abigail.
He went there to visit Abigail, and at the same time, accompanied Cherry. Who would have thought he would witness the intimate moment between Dave and Abigail? Aiden got furious, believing that Abigail was betraying Nathan, his best friend.
'My best friend will get hurt again. And this time… I'm afraid he will turn his back on love forever. Why now? Why? Nathan just opened his heart again. I can't let them be together! Abigail must remember my best friend!'
With those thoughts in mind, Aiden turned around and left without letting Dave and Abigail know of his presence. He immediately called Stephen. He requested Stephen to meet each other at his house as he needed to strategize a plan with him.
"We've just arrived. Where are you going?" Cherry asked Aiden confusedly. She just greeted Mr. Hiroshi and Ethan a while ago, allowing Aiden to proceed to Abigail's ward. Then when she was about to follow him to the ward, she bumped into Aiden who was on his way out.
"Have you seen Abi?" she added.
Aiden pursed his lips, a cold glint flashing through his eyes. He was still upset recalling the scene he had witnessed inside Abigail's ward.
"Nope," he lied.
"Then why are you grumpy?" Cherry continued asking him. Aiden was very transparent. She could clearly see his furious expression. It was written all over his face.
Aiden could only sigh in defeat. "Come with me. Let's talk outside." Aiden immediately grabbed Cherry's hand as he guided her toward the parking lot.
"Eh, are we leaving already?" Cherry pulled Aiden's hand, making him stop.
"Yes. Your sister is not here." Aiden was referring to Jane, also known as Phantomflake.
Cherry bobbed her head. "Yeah. I know. Mr. Hiroshi told me that she hang out with Mr. Kazuki's son."
"Okay. Now, let's go and meet Stephen. We need to discuss something," Aiden suggested, pulling her once more toward his car. Cherry didn't resist. She just followed him.
The two headed to Stephen's place. When they arrived, Stephen was already sitting on the balcony.
"What do you want to discuss with me? Or rather with us…" Stephen shifted his gaze from Aiden to Cherry.
"We have to help Nathan! I don't want him to become heartbroken again." Aiden declared to them. "We should help Abigail remember our best friend!"
Stephen just stayed silent, listening to Aiden's suggestion. On the other hand, Cherry asked him about his specific plan. "How are we going to help them?"
"Let's propose a field trip or a vacation for those two. They need to be together and spend time together. If Abigail bonds with Nathan, she might remember her lost memory related to Nathan!" Aiden said with conviction.
"Oh right! Mr. Hiroshi is planning to take Abigail out of the medical facility by tomorrow. He wants his daughter to stay at home, instead of staying in the hospital or the medical facility. Abigail also requested to leave the medical facility as soon as possible. You can suggest that they go somewhere for a vacation!" Cherry supported Aiden's idea.
"Hmm. Okay. I will bring this up to Nathan. I think he will agree." Stephen volunteered. He also wanted to help Nathan.
"That's great!" Aiden punched the air. He couldn't hide his excitement. "I will arrange everything. The place and their plane tickets. I know a relaxing place that is also good for Abigail's recovery!"
After saying that, Aiden faced Cherry and held her shoulders. "You should come with us too. You will like the place. It's beautiful!" Aiden glanced at her expectantly. He was giving her a puppy-eyed look, begging her to agree.
Stephen could only smile while shaking his head helplessly. Aiden even managed to insert his personal goal by inviting Cherry to come.
'The playboy finally found the girl who was able to tame his wild heart.' Stephen thought to himself, grinning from ear to ear. He could feel that Aiden was serious about Cherry. He never acted this way toward other women. Cherry was the only exception.
"I'll think about it…" Cherry wanted to consult Jane first. "But I will agree if my sis Jane will join us on this trip!"
Stephen's eyes lit up at the mention of Jane's name. He would like to spend quality time with her and get closer to her.
"I can join you too. I think I will be able to counsel Abigail and do some hypnotism to try bringing her memory back." Stephen found a reason to go with them. He wanted to go if Jane would tag along with them.
"Alright! The more the merrier!" Aiden clapped his hands together.
"But we have one problem… Who will convince Mr. Hiroshi and the Yan Family?" Aiden raised this concern to both Stephen and Cherry.
Stephen and Cherry exchanged glances with one another. They almost forgot about this consideration.
"Gosh. This should be a trip between Nathan and Abigail. We can't let Mr. Hiroshi or Madam Priyanshi disturb the two." Aiden scratched the back of his head. He wasn't close to either Mr. Hiroshi or Madam Priyanshi.
After what happened to Abigail, the two would be more strict with the safety and security of Abigail. They were not certain if they would allow Abigail to go on a trip with Nathan once she was discharged from the medical facility.
"Hmmm. I think I know someone who will be able to convince those two!" Cherry snapped her fingers as a good idea popped up in her mind.
"Who?" Aiden and Stephen asked her in unison.
"Who else? Of course, it's none other than Ethan! No one will be able to resist a cute little boy's charm! We can ask for his help! I am hundred percent sure that Ethan will be able to convince Mr. Hiroshi, Old Master Yan, and Madam Priyanshi!" Cherry cheerfully said to them.
"Oh my gosh! You are right! Ethan is the key to this vacation trip! Let's make him our accomplice!" Aiden made a fist bump to Cherry and Stephen.
This trip was going to be an exciting trip for them.
'Hmmph! I will make sure that Dave will not be able to join. I must separate him from Abi!"
