Day Forty-Seven...
~~*****~~
Abigail was in a grumpy mood today. She felt the need to release her anger, otherwise, she would explode. After talking to the Pharmaceutical Scientist, Abigail left the laboratory to face Veronica.
She was the first person she would like to deal with. And tonight, she would confront Madam Lu and reveal her evil doings in front of the Yan Family. Whatever decision she would make, Nathan would always support her.
Veronica was still in her office when Abigail barged in. She was greeted by Veronica's cold sharp glare.
"What the hell are you doing here, B*tch?!" Veronica hated Abigail for ruining her plan. A while ago, she thought Nathan was already wavering and was about to give in, if not for Abigail's interference.
"I'm just here to give you some pieces of advice..." Abigail's lips curled up into a mocking smile.
"Just Scram! I don't need your advice!" Veronica spat back at her. She grabbed her mug and threw it at Abigail. But Abigail reacted quickly, catching the flying mug using her right hand.
"I know your secrets... Veronica. You were the one who hired someone to scare me and stab me in Country F. You also tried to harm your own sister because of your greediness and jealousy. If you don't want me to reveal this to Nathan, then just behave and don't annoy me. I chose to ignore you because I have a much more important thing to do. But don't test my patience, Veronica." Abigail was surrounded by a chilly aura. She was frightening.
Veronica lost the ability to speak. She had never expected that a mere actress could gather such vital information about her. Even Nathan was not aware of the thing she did. She indeed hired someone to harm Monica.New n0vel chapters are published on
"Phantomflake killed my sister! I have nothing to do with it!" Veronica denied Abigail's accusation as she masked her fear. She could already imagine what Nathan would do to her once he found out the truth.
"Hmm. If Phantomflake didn't succeed... your man would have finished the task for you," Abigail said meaningfully, making Veronica speechless.
"One more thing... you were not the only one who had so many secrets. Your sister Monica was good at hiding the truth. She was manipulative. And she was wiser than you." Abigail provoked Veronica.
"But I will uncover the truth. Nathan will be free from this agony and Monica's shadow. So if you don't want to face Nathan's wrath, it's best for you to stay away from him."
Veronica was not a fool who would just listen to her. She would never give up Nathan.
"Sigh. She is still trying to cope with that break-up. I don't know what to do anymore." Madam Priyanshi sounded stressed and troubled.
"Don't worry, Auntie. Everything is just a misunderstanding. I will try to talk to Richard. For now, let's give them time and space to realize what they are missing."
"Thank you, Abi. I truly appreciate this." Madam Priyanshi said goodbye to Abigail.
When Abigail was done talking with her Aunt, Nathan spoke up. "Where do you want to eat some lunch?"
"Hmm, anywhere. But, I want to eat lunch together with you and Ethan..." Abigail put on a pleading look in her eyes.
"Got it. Let's go back to the mansion. This way we can also spend time with your grandpa." A faint smile curved into the corners of Nathan's lips.
Abigail was taken aback for a moment, her eyes fixated on him. 'Damn! Nathan is so thoughtful! I like this side of him.'
"Thanks, Nate. I just wish you are always like this... when treating me..." Abigail blurted out, her eyes filled with different emotions. She was worried that everything between Nathan and her would go back to zero once she became Phantomflake again.
"I'll never change but in three conditions... First, stay away from guys... second, just be honest with me, no lies... I want your loyalty..."
"and third..." Nathan paused for a moment, shifting his gaze from the road to Abigail's face. "Be a good mother to my son, Ethan."
Abigail swooned at his last remarks. Her heart even jumped with joy. 'Does it mean... he is already accepting me as Ethan's second mother?'
"Nate... are you..." Abigail couldn't finish her words. She realized that she was Abigail in front of Nathan, not Phantomflake.
Her hope collapsed instantly when reality struck her. Even if Nathan wanted her to become Ethan's mother... she still had to go back to her real self. She was only borrowing Abigail's body. All of this was just temporary.
"What? Continue your question." Nathan urged her.
"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just hungry. And I can't wait to see Ethan."
Nathan glanced at her and saw the changes in her expression. She became sullen and there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.
'Did I say something wrong to ruin her mood?'
