YM778.TV Chapter 405 Tagging Along With Her
Day Forty-Six…
~~*****~~
[ At SYP Medical Facility… ]
Phantomflake was back in Abigail\'s body. Bam-Bam didn\'t specify how long her soul would be staying inside Abigail\'s body. But it would depend on Nathan.
Little did she know, Bam-Bam was still hiding something from her. He didn\'t inform Phantomflake about the second part of her mission.
The moment she woke up, Ethan\'s worried face greeted her sight. The young boy immediately hugged her tightly. She could see how worried Ethan was about her.
She consoled him for several minutes. Then the doctor came to check her vitals. Little Ethan called his father while the doctor was examining Abigail.
She looked around and she saw the familiar environment. She had been there. She recognized this place. This was the Medical Facility where Phantomflake had been kept for two years before she was transferred to Stephen\'s place.
The doctor who examined her was puzzled because he couldn\'t find a proper diagnosis for her illness. According to Nathan, she suddenly passed out. And for some unknown reason, she was unconscious for fifteen hours. However, all her test results were normal.
"Miss Scarlett, how do you feel?" The doctor asked her as she checked her pulse and heartbeat.
"I\'m fine." She promptly responded. She could see that the doctor was a little bit anxious. Unknown to her, Nathan already pressured the doctors in his Medical Facility to diagnose her illness. Only Dr. Veronica was not around.
The doctor heaved a sigh of relief. As long as Abigail was fine, they wouldn\'t face Nathan\'s wrath.
"Okay. Miss Scarlett. I will just give you some vitamins."
Abigail just bobbed her head. "Can I be discharged today? I have to go somewhere." She was thinking about Old Master Yan.
"I\'m not sure. Mr. Sparks insisted on observing your health…" the doctor smiled at her awkwardly. They had to get Nathan\'s permission first before discharging her.
"Alright. I\'ll talk to him." Abigail could sense that the doctor was afraid of Nathan.
When the doctor left, Ethan came back. He already informed his father and Nathan was now on his way. The young boy climbed Abigail\'s sickbed and sat on the edge.
Abigail watched Ethan lovingly. Her heart clenched at the thought that she would be leaving soon and going back to her original body. Nathan wouldn\'t allow Phantomflake to see Ethan. She was going to miss this bonding with Ethan.
"Ethan, may I hug you?" Abigail asked his permission.
Little Ethan just moved his head up and down vigorously as his response. Abigail wrapped her arms around his body, embracing him.
"Ethan…"
"Yes, Mom?" Little Ethan gazed at her, his two cute round eyes fixed on her face.
Abigail smiled faintly as she cupped Ethan\'s face. She caressed his fluffy cheeks and said, "Ethan… Thank you for being such a sweet and caring boy. I love you like my own son. I will never ever forget all the love and kindness you\'ve given me."
Ethan gave her a questioning look. "Mom. You are scaring me. Are you leaving? Why are you telling me this?" Fear laced his young face.
"Of course not. I will still be here for you. It\'s just that I will be living at my grandfather\'s mansion in the meantime. He is sick. I have to take care of him," Abigail explained to him.
Little Ethan understood the situation. "Don\'t worry, Mom. My Dad and I will visit you every day."
"Sure. I like that. We can spend more time together with Grandpa."
Abigail and Ethan were still talking about Old Master Yan when the door slid open. Nathan already arrived and entered the room. Both Ethan and Abigail were glad to see him. However, they noticed that something was off with Nathan. He was very silent and he looked very serious.
"Did anything happen to your Dad? He is not in a mood." Abigail whispered to Ethan.
The little boy shrugged his shoulders. "He has been grumpy and stressed since last night. He was worried sick about you, Mom."
Abigail shifted her gaze back to Nathan. He was now approaching them. Upon reaching their spot, Nathan immediately hugged his son tightly while slamming his eyes shut. Nathan was still troubled by his father\'s revelation. How could he tell Ethan that his grandfather tried to harm his own mother?
"Dad… you are hugging the wrong person. I\'m not the patient here." Ethan tried to push his father away as he was being squeezed by him.
When he heard that, Nathan glanced at Abigail who was sitting next to Ethan. He extended his right hand, reaching for her. He pulled her and hugged her. Now, Nathan was embracing both Ethan and Abigail. He badly needed this as he felt so lost today.
"Is there something wrong, Nate?" Abigail asked him curiously.
Nathan moved his face closer to her. She heard him smelling the scent of her hair as he took a deep breath. Her scent and warmth were able to calm his raging heart.
"Let\'s stay like this for a while," Nathan softly mumbled.
His mind was in shambles right now. He didn\'t want to doubt Monica but two people already talked about Monica\'s betrayal and unfaithfulness. First, it was Kathleen. Now, his father was also telling him that Monica cheated on him. He didn\'t know what to believe in anymore.
Monica was gone! There was no need to taint or tarnish her good image. Nathan hated his father for this. But he was angrier knowing that someone was behind this recording. What was he trying to achieve by sending that recorder?
\'Don\'t tell me… that person is trying to stir a conflict between my father and me.\' Nathan thought to himself. His mind was wandering off somewhere. Abigail could sense it.
"Nate, I have to go back to the Yan Family Mansion as soon as possible. My grandfather\'s life is in danger," Abigail\'s voice snapped Nathan back to the present.
Nathan released them from his embrace. Then he glanced at Abigail intently. "What do you mean by that?"
"The reason I was in a hurry to come back yesterday is that… I suspect that my grandpa is gravely ill because someone is poisoning him. His health is deteriorating every day. No improvement at all. What if they are after Grandpa\'s company and wealth?!"
Nathan hesitated for a moment. "But you are sick too. What if you collapse there? You are also in danger." Nathan didn\'t like the idea of exposing Abigail to those greedy people. If they could harm the Yan Patriarch, then they could also harm Abigail. She would become their target because she was an heiress.
"Don\'t worry. I won\'t faint anymore…"
\'As long as you are not with me. You are the reason why my soul is leaving this body,\' Abigail thought to herself.
"I will allow you to stay there but on one condition–" Nathan was interrupted when Abigail spoke up.
"Bodyguard? You want me to bring my bodyguard?"
Nathan shook his head and corrected her statement. "No. Not your bodyguard. But your boyfriend."
"I\'m coming with you," He declared. "I\'ll stay in the Yan Family Mansion."
"Dad! Unfair! Please bring me with you. I want to stay at the Yan Mansion too!" Ethan also volunteered
Abigail: "..."
\'Eh? Are they kidding me? Will grandpa allow them to stay? Ethan is possible… but how about Nathan?"
