Chapter 354 She Lost Her Child!

Day Forty-Two...

~~*****~~

[ At Stephen's Place... ]

Nathan finally arrived at Stephen's house. He rushed to Stephen after hearing the piece of good news. Upon entering the house, Nathan immediately proceeded to Phantomflake's room. Stephen was already there, waiting for Nathan.

"Steph!" Nathan pushed the door open and he was out of breath.

Stephen greeted Nathan with a warm smile. "You're here!"

Nathan stepped forward with large strides. In no time, he reached Phantomflake's sickbed. She was still unconscious.

"Did she open her eyes?" Nathan asked his best friend with anticipation

Stephen shook his head but he glanced at Nathan with hopeful eyes. "No. But Cherry and I saw her fingers move last night. My dad already examined her. Everything about her condition is improving!"

"Her brain activity is very active." Stephen presented Phantomflake's chart. "Sooner or later... she will wake up!"

Nathan grabbed the patient's chart. He had mixed emotions about this. 'Two years... I waited for this for two years... Phantomflake must wake up no matter what.'

Stephen noticed that Nathan was lost in his own thoughts. He could understand his feelings. Everyone here was waiting for Phantomflake to regain consciousness. Stephen patted Nathan's shoulder, snapping him out of his train of thought.

"Nate... don't worry. She is going to wake up," Stephen softly said, reassuring Nathan.

Nathan just bobbed his head, focusing his eyes on Phantomflake. He exhaled deeply before handing the patient's chart back to Stephen.

"Let's go out. We need to talk," Nathan mumbled. He sounded very serious.

Stephen just followed him behind. They headed to the garden. No one was around. They could discuss anything they wanted.

"Is there something wrong, Nate?" Stephen asked him curiously. He didn't understand why Nathan didn't look happy at all. Was he troubled by something?

"Because she had suffered enough!" Stephen spat back at Nathan.

"I understand your pain, Nate. But I also understand her pain. I witnessed how much she suffered from a traumatic experience. Nathan! Phantomflake was my patient! You will never find her child because her child passed away! She lost her child!"

Nathan was taken aback when he heard Stephen's revelation.

'She lost her child...' Nathan repeated Stephen's words in his mind. But he had no right to pity her. She brought him the same misery... when he lost her beloved woman.

"Nate, can't you open your mind? You should not direct your anger and hatred at Phantomflake! She is just a tool used by your enemy to make you suffer!" Stephen added. He was arguing with Nathan just because of Phantomflake.

Nathan remained silent. He didn't know what to say. He didn't want to admit it but Stephen had a point. But since he didn't know who the real mastermind was, all Nathan could do was blame everything on Phantomflake. He was taking all his hatred and anger on her.

"I might consider that... unless Phantomflake will reveal to me the mastermind behind Monica's death," Nathan retorted.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Why are you two fighting? What happened?" Aiden just came at the right time to intervene with the two men. Aiden heard the yelling of Nathan and Stephen. They were arguing. He immediately stepped in the middle to pacify them.

"Calm down. Let's talk this out in a peaceful manner." Aiden held their shoulders.

Stephen took a deep sigh, calming himself down. After a while, he apologized to Nathan first.

"I'm sorry, Nate. I hid this truth from you because of the promise I made to her."

Aiden glanced at Stephen with eyes filled with intrigue. "What promise? Promise to whom?" He darted his gaze back and forth between Nathan and Stephen.

The two men just stayed silent, not mentioning Phantomflake's pregnancy.

"Hey! C'mon! Tell me!" Aiden shook their shoulders alternately, urging them to spill the beans.

It did not take long before another person joined them.

"Aiden Wu!!!" Cherry showed up and called upon Aiden's attention. She was looking dagger at him. She seemed like she was ready to skin him alive.

"Uh-oh! I sense danger!" Aiden mumbled, hooking his arms on his two best friends. "Besties... please save me from Black Rose," he whispered to them.
