YM778.TV Chapter 481 They Are All Waiting For Her
Day Fifty-Five…
~~*****~~
Kazuki was surprised when he noticed the young boy. "Oh. Here\'s the young version of Lady Jane!"
Kazuki ruffled Ethan\'s hair but Little Ethan crumpled his face as he removed Mr. Kazuki\'s hand. "You can\'t force a girl to marry a guy she doesn\'t like."
Kazuki: "..."
\'Did I say something wrong? The young boy looks mad.\' Kazuki wondered to himself.
"Ethan," Nathan gave his son a warning look. He didn\'t like the way Ethan acted impolitely in front of Mr. Hiroshi and Kazuki.
Ethan immediately lowered his head and apologized to Kazuki.
"Sorry about that. My son is moody today. He doesn\'t mean to be rude to the elders." Nathan spoke on Ethan\'s behalf.
On the other hand, Mr. Hiroshi reprimanded Kazuki. "Kazuki, this is not the right place to discuss something about my daughter\'s marriage. Don\'t bring it up again here. Understand?"
"Okay, Master. I\'m sorry! But anyway, my son is arriving today. May I leave you for a while, Master? I\'m going to fetch him together with Jane." Kazuki asked Mr. Hiroshi\'s permission.
Both Nathan and Ethan frowned when they heard Kazuki\'s last remarks. Was that the reason Jane was not around today? She was accompanying Kazuki to fetch his son at the airport.
"My daughter is coming with you?" Mr. Hiroshi was surprised. She didn\'t mention anything regarding this.
Kazuki just smiled at him sheepishly while scratching the back of his head. "Actually, I am still waiting for her reply. But I already invited her today."
"As far as I know, she stayed in the Yan Family Mansion last night. She bonded with her grandfather. She is on the way now to the facility." Mr. Hiroshi informed everyone.
Nathan reflexively looked at his son and whispered, "You don\'t want to see her, right? I\'ll stop her from coming here. She can accompany Mr. Kazuki instead."
But Ethan shook his head vehemently. "No, Dad. Don\'t send her away. She has the right to see her sister. Don\'t stop her from coming here."
Nathan couldn\'t understand why Ethan was still being considerate toward Jane. He expected him to act coldly toward her. \'I thought he hated her.\'
"Mr. Sparks, thank you for allowing me to be here," Dave butted in, expressing his gratitude toward Nathan.
Nathan nodded at him to acknowledge his presence. "No need to thank me. You are Abigail\'s friend."
\'And a former lover…\' Dave added to his thoughts but he never said it out loud.
A few minutes later, Jane also arrived at the facility. She heard the good news from her father. Abigail\'s condition improved greatly. She halted on her steps the moment she saw the group of people outside Abigail\'s ward.
Then her eyes fell on the young boy. It seemed that Ethan sensed her gaze, he subconsciously glanced in her direction, meeting Jane\'s gaze. Jane and Ethan looked at each other for a long moment. The two had different emotions on their faces.
Ethan was the first one who looked away. Jane felt her heart constricted once more since Ethan avoided her. At that certain moment, she had the urge to close their gaps and hugged the young boy. If she had to kneel in front of him just to get his forgiveness then she was willing to do that.
\'I hope someday… Ethan will be able to forgive me…\' Jane thought to herself.
"My Lady! You are finally here!" Kazuki called Jane enthusiastically and ran in her direction. Everyone focused their attention on her.
"Uncle Kazuki," she smiled back at him, greeting him.
"Right timing! Do you want to come with me to fetch my son at the airport?" Kazuki grabbed Jane\'s hands, giving her a pleading look.
Jane was caught off guard by Kazuki\'s request. She looked at her father with a questioning gaze. Mr. Hiroshi could only sigh helplessly while rubbing his temples. His right-hand man was so determined to matchmake his son to Jane.
Jane tossed a look at Ethan who was not looking at her. She felt like Ethan didn\'t want her presence there. "Okay, Uncle. I\'m just going to see my sister for a few minutes. After that, we can leave and fetch your son."
Ethan clenched his fists and pursed his lips. He was displeased by Jane\'s decision. Part of him didn\'t want Jane to get close to another guy aside from his father. Not saying a word, Ethan walked out, showing his annoyance and disappointment. And Jane misunderstood it, thinking that Ethan couldn\'t bear to see her and stand in her presence. Jane was saddened by those random thoughts.
Jane tried her best to gather her emotions and looked calm in front of others. She decided to take a look at her sister. The men gave her a chance to see her sister alone. Nathan proceeded to his office while Dave, Mr. Hiroshi, and Kazuki stayed outside the ward.
When Jane was left alone inside Abigail\'s ward, she grabbed the opportunity to talk to her sister and express all her thoughts. She sat down next to Abigail\'s sick bed and she held her hand.
"Sis… our father and our grandfather are already waiting for you. Wake up now. We need you." Jane squeezed Abigail\'s hand.
"Keep fighting, Sis. Now, that I\'m here. I will protect you for the remaining days of my life. And I will do my best to capture the culprit who targeted you," Jane made a promise.
After a while, Jane\'s lips curled up into a faint smile. "Your man is also here with us, waiting for you. Dave will help me in catching the culprit. You are so lucky, my dear sister. You have someone like him who loves you unconditionally. Dave is a good man. A loving and caring man."
"Unlike me… I\'m so unlucky because the person I like hates me so much…" Jane continued to confide her feelings with her.
"And the young boy who is close to my heart… hates me now. I can\'t blame him. I did something despicable. I deserve to be hated by those two. But I won\'t give up until I can make it up to them. If I can\'t gain their love… all I ask is to get their forgiveness." Jane smiled but her eyes were filled with sadness and pain.
"Sis… sometimes… I don\'t know if I can continue this mission… I get discouraged. But because of you, and our family… I found another reason to continue striving… and to live. I hope it\'s not too late for me to start a new life with you and Dad… with our grandpa." Jane paused for a moment. She felt the lump in her throat. Before she realized it, her tears started to fall from the corners of her eyes.
Jane let out a soft giggle before wiping her tears. "Abi, your big sis is not a crybaby. My heart just feels too heavy. I need to let it all out."
"Sis… when are you going to wake up? I don\'t think I can accomplish this mission without you." There was a hint of helplessness in her voice.
"Sis…" Jane kept calling her. Then she stopped midway when she felt Abigail\'s fingers move. She gazed down and looked at her face only to meet Abigail\'s emerald eyes. Abigail finally regained consciousness!
