YM778.TV Chapter 407 The Tracker
Day Forty-Six…
~~*****~~
Old Master Yan chose to stay in the garden, instead of going back to his bedroom. He was sitting in his wheelchair while Abigail standing at his back. The two watched the beautiful surroundings filled with blooming flowers.
The Yan Family Doctor left along with Abigail\'s DNA samples. Abigail ensured that she would stick with Old Master Yan to monitor the nurse. According to the doctor, Old Master Yan was taking his medication three times a day. Three types of capsules. One was for his heart, one for his nerves, and one for his rare illness.
Old Master Yan was having difficulty walking because of his nerve problem. He was also weak because of his old age. When it was time for his medication, the private nurse approached them, holding a tray as she delivered his pills and a glass of water.
The nurse avoided Abigail\'s eyes. She focused her attention on Old Master Yan.
"Sir, take your med now," Nurse Mae softly mumbled, flashing her gentle smile.
A cold glint flashed through Abigail\'s eyes as she stared at the nurse and the medicines on the tray.
\'I can\'t allow Abigail\'s grandfather to drink this med. We never know if the nurse is feeding him the wrong medicine.\' Abigail folded her fingers into fists.
When Nurse Mae handed the medicine over to Old Master Yan, Abigail\'s hand reached out, intentionally bumping the tray. The glass of water and the pills dropped into the floor.
Crash!
"Oh my gosh!" Nurse Mae exclaimed when the broken shard hit her leg, wounding her.
Abigail just smirked inwardly. \'You deserve it.\' She didn\'t apologize for what happened.
"Are you okay?" She asked her. Old Master Yan was there so Abigail should pretend that she was worried. However, she would never apologize to the likes of her. She was Madam Lu\'s accomplice.
Nurse Mae just glared at Abigail. Her leg was bleeding.
"Go and wash your wound first. I will take care of my grandpa\'s medicine." Abigail was sending her off.
"Yes, Mae. You should clean your wound." Old Master Yan showed his concern for his nurse.
Since Old Master Yan intervened, Nurse Mae could only obey him. She shot Abigail a cold sharp glare before turning around. She knew that Abigail intentionally knocked the tray a while ago using her arm.
Abigail immediately picked up the pill that was dropped to the ground. "Grandpa, I\'m sorry. I\'ll get you a new medicine." She simply kept the pill inside her handkerchief.
"Don\'t worry about it, Abi. I have a lot of medicine. No need to apologize for that mistake." Old Master Yan didn\'t notice Abigail\'s strange behavior a while ago.
It did not take long before the father and son duo showed up. Ethan was already holding a small paper bag. They went out to buy something. It turned out the two bought Old Master Yan\'s medicine. Abigail got his doctor\'s prescription after talking to the Yan Family Doctor.
"Great-grandpa! I brought your medicine!" Little Ethan ran in his direction. Nathan was the one holding a glass of water for Old Master Yan.
Meanwhile, Old Master Yan darted his gaze back and forth between Abigail and the duo. "Why do I feel like you anticipate this to happen? Are you both psychic?"
Little Ethan\'s giggle bubbled up when he heard the old man\'s remarks. "No, gramps. But I have extraordinary power. I have a third eye."
Old Master Yan could only laugh and ruffled Ethan\'s hair. "Alright. I believe you. Now, feed me my med, little kiddo."
Little Ethan took one pill and said, "Open your mouth, gramps." He extended his small hand, trying to feed the old man.
Old Master Yan smiled before accepting the medicine with his mouth open. Abigail secretly glanced at Nathan meaningfully. With only one look, they understood each other. Abigail moved her head, urging Nathan to follow her.
"Grandpa, I will just get something inside. Ethan, watch grandpa on my behalf. Okay?"
"Sure, Mom! I\'ll take care of Gramps. I will protect him!" Ethan promptly responded, raising his fist.
Abigail giggled and pinched Ethan\'s cheeks. When she left, Nathan followed her. The two headed to Abigail\'s room to talk.
"What have you found?" Nathan asked her.
"Ethan managed to get some pills in the nurse\'s quarter. He found some suspicious medicines." Abigail picked up a transparent rectangular box containing random pills inside.
"Can you ask Stephen\'s help to identify this medicine?" Abigail requested him.
Nathan cocked his eyebrow and said, "Why do you need Stephen\'s help? I\'m already here. Have you forgotten? I owned a medical facility. I have my own medical laboratory. My men can examine the composition of these medicines." Nathan couldn\'t help it. He just wanted Abigail to rely on him, not other men.
"Okay. Nate. I will count on you for this. Can you do it fast? I\'m running out of time."
Nathan thought she was only worried about Old Master Yan\'s health. But little did he know, Abigail meant it literally. She was indeed running out of time. She had to accomplish things faster before she could go back to her original body.
"Don\'t worry about this. I\'ll take action immediately." Nathan reassured her.
"We can get the result tomorrow."
Abigail nodded her head, giving him a grateful look. Without a second thought, Abigail walked closer to Nathan, wrapping her arms around him. She hugged him because she felt like doing it. She was going to miss this moment with him. She couldn\'t do it if she was back as Phantomflake.
On Nathan\'s part, this sudden hug brought a smile to his handsome face. Abigail took the initiative to embrace him.
"Why are you so clingy today, Abi?" Nathan used her own words as he teased her.
Abigail broke the hug and hit Nathan\'s shoulder. "You are so cocky, Mr. Sparks. So annoying."
Nathan just let out a husky laugh before cupping her face and giving her a peck on her lips. Abigail\'s heart began to raise inside her chest. She was surprised to her own self. Nathan could easily affect her. He could make her heart flutter with just a simple kiss, with this closeness… and with a simple hug.
"Let\'s go back. Ethan and Grandpa might be looking for us already," Abigail quickly fled, avoiding unnecessary intimacy between them. She needed to avoid getting intimate with Nathan because sooner or later, the real Abigail would come back. If Nathan would invest more feelings with her as Abigail then he would just be hurt in the end. The real Abigail would never remember any of this. And she already had someone.

[ At Alexander\'s Place… ]
"Dragon Lord, is there anything you need?" Jack asked Alexander aka the Dragon Lord.
Alexander kept pacing back and forth across his room. He was looking at his phone screen. He just stopped when he heard Jack\'s voice.
"Can you check this location for me? I can\'t understand why Abigail is here." Alexander showed the tracker to Jack.
Jack assessed it for him and then asked, "Have you tried listening to the recordings?"
"I think the necklace was put in a safe. The vault has thick walls." Alexander responded.
Jack grabbed his phone and searched for the location. To his surprise, an unexpected place resurfaced on his screen.
"My Lord… this is the secret location of the Black Market here in Country M. What is she doing there?"
