Chapter 263 She Couldn't Remember Him

Day Twenty Nine...

~~*****~~

Violet didn't know what to do since Stephen was already badly beaten up. Bam-Bam also arrived at that time, seeing Stephen's sorry state. His gorgeous face received bruises from Agustav's punches.

But Agustav targeted his body specifically his stomach, causing Stephen to fall to the ground. He tried to get up, kneeling on his right leg. He just sneered at Agustav as he wiped the blood off his face.

"Oh no! Doctor Zhou is badly hurt. I wonder if Master will hold me responsible for this. I am not allowed to intervene." Bam-Bam flew back and forth, feeling anxious. He was worried that Abigail might scold him big time.

"Gosh! I have to inform Master about this. Maybe Nathan can do something for them." Bam-Bam couldn't save them. He could only watch what was happening there. In the end, the magical flying creature decided to come back and informed Abigail about this situation.

As of now, a magical creature like him couldn't use his power in this situation because it was against the rule of being a soul keeper. He had limitations.

In just a blink of an eye, Bam-Bam disappeared. He used his supernatural power to teleport back to Country M where Abigail was waiting for him.

Meanwhile, at Towerville City Hospital, Abigail was secretly watching Nathan and Ethan on the back. Abigail was reluctant to approach the father and son duo since Nathan's expression was very gloomy. It did not take long before Chantha contacted Nathan to report what happened to her twin sister and Stephen.

Nathan excused himself from Ethan upon seeing Chantha's caller ID. He knew that she had an important message to deliver to him. Not allowing Ethan to know his involvement with the Syphiruz Mafia, Nathan made sure to leave the ward before answering Chantha.

Little Ethan could only sigh helplessly. He could sense that his father was trying to hide something from him. What would happen to his Uncle Stephen now? Ethan was lost in his thoughts when Abigail finally made her presence known to him. She sat down next to Ethan.The source of this content no/v(el)bi((n))

She could move around the VIP ward after removing the IV drip in her left hand. "Don't worry too much, Ethan. Your Uncle Stephen will be safe. Your Dad will find a way to keep him safe." Abigail wanted to console the young boy.

Ethan just bobbed his head, flashing his adorable smile. "I know, Miss Abi. Dad will do everything just to protect the people close to him. I wish he would do the same to you. I hope that he will keep you safe starting today."

Abigail smiled faintly, a little bit embarrassed. Ethan was truly wishing them to be on good terms and get closer.

"By the way, Ethan... who called your Dad?" Abigail asked, feeling curious. She turned in the direction of the closed door where Nathan disappeared to.

Ethan shook his head as he didn't recognize the caller. "I don't know, Miss Abi. Branch Leader was the Caller ID."

Abigail became more curious. She could tell that this had something to do with the Syphiruz Mafia and the team who was sent to get Phantomflake back.

Meanwhile, Nathan was just standing in the corner near Abigail's VIP ward. He was talking to someone over the phone. Abigail silently traced her steps toward him and hid from him. She made sure to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"This is my fault. I shouldn't have let Stephen join the team..." Nathan started blaming himself. According to Chantha, the Red Dragon Mafia already captured Stephen, Violet, and others. She already reported that several members died during the ambush.

"I already allowed him because he was so determined to rescue Phantomflake..." Nathan added, clenching his fist. Nathan was expressing his feelings because he was now talking to Aiden.

Chantha was done reporting to him and he already ordered Axel to contact the Red Dragon Mafia for a negotiation.

"What?! What had gotten into him? Why did he do such a dangerous job?! He was supposed to treat his clients in his clinic, not go to a foreign land, surrounded by armed men!" Aiden reacted exasperatedly. With his loud voice, Abigail could even hear his voice from that distance.

"Because of Phantomflake. He did it because of her." Nathan mumbled, massaging his temples. He hadn't noticed Abigail's presence.

Abigail, on the other hand, arched her eyebrow in amusement. She was wondering why Stephen did the mission for her. She wanted to scold Nathan for allowing Stephen to do that dangerous mission.

'Are they both insane?' Abigail complained in her mind.

"Why her? Why is it my two best friends are so obsessed with Phantomflake?! I know your reason, but how about Stephen? I couldn't fathom his line of thinking at all! He is so hard to figure out sometimes!" Aiden kept on lamenting. He was acting like this because he was worried sick about Stephen.

"Because he was acquainted with her. Stephen knew Phantomflake!" Nathan revealed this to Aiden.

Aiden was taken aback for a moment. But not only him... Abigail was also stupefied when she heard those words from Nathan.

'What? Stephen knew me? How come? I can't remember talking to him before... Do I know him?' Abigail mused to herself. She racked her brain so hard but she couldn't remember meeting Stephen before.

Did she lose her memory? Or maybe, Stephen only mistook her for someone who looked similar to her.

"Aiden, let's talk later. I still need to do something. Rescuing Stephen is my priority right now. I have to go." Nathan hung up and was about to return to the VIP Ward when he bumped into Abigail. She was lost in her train of thought that she forgot to avoid Nathan.

"Aww!" Abigail hit her nose on Nathan's sturdy chest.

"Abi? What are you doing here?" Nathan asked her in disbelief, his hands were holding her shoulder and the back of her waist to support her. Their bodies were pressed at each other.

'Oh, Shit! I got caught again.' Abigail closed her eyes and bit her lower lip.
