Day Sixty-Four…
~~*****~~
[ At Greenbelt District Hospital… ]
Abigail never left Dave's ward. She was so happy because Dave's condition improved an hour after his surgery. From ICU, they transferred him to a private ward. Abigail couldn't wait for him to wake up. She had a lot of things she wanted to tell him.
Abigail sat next to his sick bed, holding his hand. She had been watching his sleeping figure for an hour now. Her eyes were still swollen from crying too much last night.
"Dave, thank you… for staying alive. I can't live without you. I want to stay with you and my family. You are also my family… my other half." Abigail brought his hand to her lips, kissing the back of his palm.
"I learned my lesson now. This time I won't allow anyone to destroy our relationship. I won't trust anyone except my sister and you." Abigail continued talking to him as if Dave was listening. Abigail clenched her jaw as she remembered Helena. Once Dave woke up, she would meet Helena and confront her.
Unknown to her, someone was watching her. Nathan could hear Abigail's words. There was no doubt this woman was so in love with Dave. He could no longer win against him. He already heard enough so he decided to leave.
Abigail had been going through a hard time since yesterday so Nathan didn't mention anything about Jane passing out yesterday. He kept it from both Stephen and Abigail.
In fact, he was annoyed because Jane called Stephen for help first, instead of him. Well, he knew that Jane had no reason to call him. But he couldn't stop himself from being upset.
He was on the way to check on Jane when his phone rang. Chantha was calling him. Nathan wondered if Chantha managed to catch Veronica and Marco.
"Any updates?" Nathan asked Chantha as soon as he answered the call.
"Supreme Leader! Good news! We apprehended Marco and Veronica. We detained them in our headquarters. You can meet them anytime today." Chantha informed him cheerfully. She felt so proud of her accomplishment.
Axel helped her out in cornering the two. Of course, Axel used Nathan as bait so that Veronica would show up willingly. It just so happened that Marco was with her at that time.
"Okay. Just prepare everything. I will go and meet them to do the interrogation personally." Nathan's expression darkened just thinking about the possibility that Veronica was the one responsible for their accidents in Caceres Hills. Because of that accident, Abigail lost her memory of him.
"Don't worry, Big Boss! Everything is prepared! Axel and I will be waiting for you." Chantha hung up the phone. She wondered what kind of punishment Nathan would give Veronica if she was the mastermind for Abigail's accident.
Veronica was Monica's sister. What if Nathan would give her special treatment because of her connection to Monica?
"Our Supreme Leader will finally get his answer today," Chantha mumbled, smiling playfully.
Meanwhile, Nathan headed to Jane's ward, hoping that she already regained consciousness. But to his dismay, Jane remained unconscious. When he learned about it, Nathan could no longer control his emotion.
"Why is she not waking up?" Nathan asked the doctor with his angry voice. Jane had been sleeping for twelve hours now after she fainted on the rooftop. Even the doctor didn't know what happened to her.
"Mr. Sparks, I would suggest that you should transfer her to a much better hospital. Our facilities here are limited. We can't diagnose what is wrong with her. Her examination results are all normal." The doctor assigned to Jane tried his best to explain the situation to Nathan.
The doctor and the nurses were lining up on the side of Jane's bed as if they were students subject to disciplinary action by their school dean. They were scared and intimidated by Nathan's authoritative voice.
But unknown to them, there was also an invisible creature lurking inside Jane's ward. Bam-Bam had been watching Nathan as he questioned the doctor.
"Hmm. Are you worried that she's not waking up? She just gave up the remaining seven days of her life just to save Dave. She will be a sleeping beauty for one week. I hope in that given time you can figure out your feelings for her." Bam-Bam spoke to himself. Nathan and the others couldn't hear him.
He had been secretly observing Nathan and Jane for the past few days. Bam-Bam was aware of Nathan's hot and cold relationship with Jane.
Bam-Bam was also getting annoyed by Nathan's actions. He was jealous but he kept on acting so rude and harsh on Jane.
"Sigh. My master is running out of time. She only has thirty days left. But this guy is still in the denial stage." Bam-Bam shook his head in disappointment.
"I just hope he won't regret it someday," Bam-Bam said meaningfully, darting his gaze back and forth between Jane and Nathan.
Bam-Bam's lips curled up into a cunning smile. "Should I put numbers on her days so that he would know that my master couldn't be here forever? She might die and he won't no longer see her anymore. I wonder how he will react once he finds out."
On the other hand, Nathan felt uneasy. What if Jane ended up in a coma again? But why? She hadn't completely healed yet?
Nathan didn't waste any more time. He decided to transfer Jane back to his medical facility. He needed to conduct a thorough examination to find out what was wrong with Jane. She should be awake by now. But she remained sleeping.
His face was coated by worries. Yes! Nathan was worried about her. His heart jumped when he saw her fainting on the rooftop yesterday. For some unknown reason, he got scared and he couldn't explain why.
Nathan tossed a look at Jane's sleeping figure, his eyes filled with complicated emotions. 'Don't you dare die on me, Jane. You can't die without my permission.' Nathan clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth.
