Chapter 295 More Drama To Come

Day Thirty-Three...

~~*****~~

After leaving Abigail's room, Nathan bumped into Ethan in the hallway.

"Dad! Watch your steps." Ethan complained when Nathan accidentally hit him. He rubbed his eyes, yawning. He had just woken up. The young boy was still in his pajamas.

"I'm sorry," Nathan apologized, ruffling Ethan's head. He looked a little bit absentminded.

Ethan's eyebrows were drawn together as he watched his father's strange expression. "Why are you in a hurry? Where are you going?"

"Kitchen," Nathan shortly responded. "Come. I will make you some hot choco."

Nathan grabbed his son's hand, pulling him to the kitchen. He just wanted to flee. He almost kissed Abigail and someone caught him in the act. He didn't know what had gotten into him. He just felt like kissing her a while ago.

"What absurd thinking, Nate! Are you insane? Why did you do that to Abi?" He scolded himself over and over again.

Ethan just followed his dad obediently. He heard him murmuring but he couldn't understand what he was saying. 'Dad is talking to himself. Whoa. This is the first time I saw him acting like this. Is he sick?' Ethan was amused by his father's strange behavior early this morning.

Then his lips curled up into a wide grin. 'Maybe love sickness! Haha... If I heard it right... I think he mentioned Miss Abi's name.'

Upon reaching the kitchen, Nathan carried Ethan, putting him on the chair. The young boy rested his elbows on the top of the bed, cupping his chin in his hands. He watched his father move across the kitchen as he prepared hot choco for him.

A minute later, Nathan was done. He approached Ethan and put down the cup of hot choco in front of his son. "Here..."

"Thanks, Dad," Ethan mumbled, grabbing the cup. He blew it three times before taking a sip.

Spit!

Splash!

Ethan spat the hot choco when he noticed the weird taste. It was salty!

"Dad! Are you pranking me?! Why did you put salt into my choco?!" Ethan scolded his father exasperatedly.

Nathan was not in his mind a while ago. He added iodized salt instead of powdered milk.

Little Ethan was full of curiosity. Holding the cup of hot choco, Ethan stepped inside the room to explore. From the entrance door, Ethan could already see the person lying on the bed, several tubes were connected to her including the oxygen mask. The beeping sound of the monitor was the only sound he could hear inside.

"Huh? A patient?"

Ethan couldn't see her face yet but he could tell that the person was a woman because of her long hair, pale skin, and slender figure. Ethan slowly stepped forward, inching closer to the unknown patient.

The moment he reached the bed and saw Phantomflake's face, Ethan's eyes widened and he gasped in utter surprise. "Miss Abi?"

Confusion resurfacing in his eyes, Ethan blinked several times to have a second look at the woman lying on the sick bed.

CRASH!

Another cup was broken when Little Ethan dropped it on the floor. He couldn't believe what he was seeing at the moment. He felt like his eyes were playing tricks on him.

'No way. This couldn't be. Who is she? What am I seeing... a familiar face... She looks like~'

"Kiddo, you are not supposed to be here..." A voice at the back was heard. Before Ethan could turn around, he felt like he was hit by something and his eyelid became heavy.

Thud!

The young boy fell unconscious and Bam-Bam made sure that he wouldn't get hurt. Using his magical power, Bam-Bam cleaned the mess inside the room while making the unconscious young boy float in the air.

"Sigh! What is the boy doing here? My master wouldn't like Ethan to see her body. I thought they wouldn't let him see my Master's body. Those useless robots! They didn't guard the room." Bam-Bam complained as he cleaned the broken shards scattered on the floor.

After cleaning, Bam-Bam made sure to teleport Little Ethan back to his room. "What you see in that room was just a dream... It was only a dream." Bam-Bam uttered like a mantra as he put Ethan on his bed.

Bam-Bam didn't leave Ethan immediately. He lingered in that room for several minutes just watching the boy.

"I am always asking myself every time I encounter this kid. Can he see me? Can he hear me? He looks suspicious to me." Bam-Bam was having his monologue. He flew on top of Ethan and began poking Ethan's cheek using the tip of his paw.

"This boy... he doesn't look like Nathan... he resembles her the most... his mother..." After saying that, a wide grin appeared on the magical creature's face.

"Hahaha. I can see future dramas coming. Hmmm. It will be more exciting. But for now, I have to leave... and find the soul of the real Abigail."

Bam-Bam was about to disappear when he shot Ethan one last glance. There was a meaningful smile plastered on his face. "See you around, Little Kiddo. Keep on playing cupid for your Dad and my Master! Your wish will be fulfilled!"

After saying that, Bam-Bam disappeared from Ethan's room, in just a blink of an eye. A few minutes later, Little Ethan opened his eyes. He stared at the ceiling blankly, trying to recall what happened to him.
