Chapter 427 Imminent Danger



Day Forty-Nine...

~~*****~~

Abigail tried to divert the topic away from her. She wanted to interrogate Vincent, not the other way around.

"Vincent... May I ask you something?"

"Sure, Abi. What is it?" Vincent was very friendly toward Abigail.

"I'm just curious... How long have you been in a relationship with Helena Carlsen?" Abigail directly asked him, wondering if he would answer her truthfully.

"We've been together for the past 6 years," Vincent responded, putting on a gentle smile.

"Is she your first love?" Abigail kept asking him. "And the last woman you will love?"

Dave and Vincent exchanged glances with one another. They didn't expect Abigail to ask Vincent such direct questions.

"Yes. I only have one woman in my life... just like... Dave." Vincent glanced at Dave, signaling him to speak up. Vincent was trying to ship the two back together.

But Dave knew that Abigail would feel uncomfortable if he would support Vincent's words. He could sense that Abigail was feeling sorry for him.

"Let's finish the food. Do you like it?" Dave ignored Vincent's meaningful glance. He just changed the topic for Abigail's sake.

"Yes. I love them. Your cooking skills never fade! You are still the best, Bro!" Vincent praised Dave's cooking, patting his shoulder.

Meanwhile, Abigail became more suspicious of Vincent. She could tell that he was hiding something from them. 'Love only woman? He is already in a six-year relationship with Helena? Then how about Monica? What is their connection?'

As they continued to dine, Abigail got an idea of how she would test Vincent.

"Oh... I remember something!" Abigail blurted out, catching the guys' attention.

Both Vincent and Dave glanced at her expectantly, anticipating what she was about to say. What did she remember?

"I remember seeing you, Vincent!" Abigail pretended to be shocked.

"Me? Where?" Vincent maintained his calm expression.

"Okay, Vince. Take care." Dave followed him, sending him off.

When Vincent left Dave's place, he immediately called someone. There was a serious look on his face. The bright smile he had a while ago disappeared in an instant.

"Vincent... How is it? Have you seen Abigail? Did you talk with her? What did you find out?" Helena bombarded him with so many questions. She had been waiting for his call. She was aware that Vincent arrived at Country M and visited Dave's place while meeting Abigail.

Vincent exhaled deeply. "You were right, Helena. We should eliminate Abigail now. She is a great threat to us... and to our plan. We shouldn't wait for her memories to come back. We should move now."

Helena was taken aback for a moment. It's been so long since the last time she heard Vincent's serious tone like this. It looked like a very urgent matter.

"Okay. Vincent. I will support your decision!" Helena responded.

Meanwhile, Abigail was left in Dave's place, clueless about the danger in her life. So many people would try to kill and eliminate her— Madam Lu, Amara, Veronica... and now... Vincent and Helena were added to that long list.

"Have you met Vincent's niece?" Abigail asked him.

"Not yet. But I heard she is five years old now." Dave informed her.

'So... Vincent really has a niece whose name might be Monica.' She thought to herself. 'But this doesn't erase my suspicion about him. I have to dig further.'

"Dave, thanks for tonight. See you around." Abigail bid goodbye to Dave. She had something important to do and she didn't want to waste her time.

Dave had the urge to stop her but he had no right to do it. Abigail was no longer his girlfriend.

Upon leaving Dave's condo unit, Abigail looked for a hospital where she could compare the DNA samples of Vincent and Ethan.

"I will focus on my date with Nathan tomorrow, so I have to finish this task tonight. I should rush the result. Probably, a day after tomorrow... I'll retrieve the DNA Test result."

Abigail had no choice but to ask Stephen's help. He had a connection with a prestigious hospital. With his influence, he could refer her somewhere. And she could also ask for his help to request the hospital to rush the result. She needed it as soon as possible.

At around 9:00 pm, Abigail reached Stephen's place. For some unknown reason, she wanted to trust Stephen for this task. He was someone who wanted to protect Phantomflake. Abigail could see him as a friend and an ally.

"Stephen..." She called him out. He was standing in front of Phantomflake's unconscious body.

"Oh. Abi... you're here. What can I do for you?" Stephen was surprised to see Abigail at this hour.

"I have some favor to ask... Please hear me out."

"Sure."
