Chapter 438 She Wants To See Him



Day Fifty-One...

~~*****~~

Marco denied Veronica's accusation.

"I have nothing to do with this," Marco said with conviction.

However, Veronica didn't believe him. "If not you, then who targeted Abigail and Nathan yesterday?" She yanked her hands away from Marco.

"I don't know!" Marco feigned innocence. He knew how important Nathan was to Veronica. She would never let him hurt Nathan. Because of that, Marco's hatred and jealousy intensified further.

"If I find out that you have involvement with this incident... I swear... I will sever ties with you! Don't contact me ever again. Let's forget that we know each other!" Veronica threatened him.

"Don't you dare hurt Nathan, otherwise, I will kill you myself!" Veronica pushed him before turning around to leave. She stormed out.

Marco just stood in his spot, rubbing his cheek while watching Veronica's back. He clicked his tongue and shook his head helplessly. Only Veronica was treating him like this. If she was just another woman, Marco would never let her lay a finger on him. He kept receiving a slap from this woman.

"Damn it! I'm crazy for liking her." Marco smiled bitterly. When Veronica disappeared from his sight, Marco dialed someone's number. The registered name on his screen was Raven.

[ At Stephen's Place... ]

Stephen brought breakfast to Phantomflake's room. But the moment he entered the room, Jane was nowhere to be found. Stephen got worried because he didn't see Jane. He thought Jane already left his house. She hadn't regained her strength yet. She shouldn't leave the place.Folloow current novÊls on nov/3lb((in).(co/m)

Stephen put down the tray of food and stepped out of the room to search for Jane. He began looking for her in the garden area. When he didn't see her, Stephen headed to the CCTV control room.

In the end, Jane bobbed her head. "I can remember some... but not everything. You were my psychologist before. That's all I could remember."

Stephen's eyes lit up when he heard that. He was glad that she could remember him. At the same time, he was grateful because Jane couldn't remember her tragic past.

"Jane... thanks for your help. We were able to save and rescue Nathan and Abigail. But I am curious. How did you know that they were in danger? You had just woken up from a coma?" Stephen began questioning her.

Jane bit her lower lip. She had to be cautious when answering this question. They might think she was crazy or had some illusions. Furthermore, the truth was very hard to believe. Even Black Rose didn't believe her.

"I don't have a scientific explanation... But all I can say is that... I had a vision. It's like a dream. I saw them in my dream," Jane lied with a straight face.

Stephen just stayed silent for a moment, observing her. He was a psychologist so he could tell that Jane was hiding something from him. She was not revealing the truth. But he would respect it. He didn't want her to feel uncomfortable in his presence because of his questioning.

"Okay. I understand. We owed you this... Jane." Stephen was so kind toward Jane. He was putting her well-being in consideration first before anything else.

"Steph... How's Nathan? And Abigail..." Jane could no longer hold her curiosity. Stephen was the one who stayed with Nathan and Abigail last night.

Stephen was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect Jane to ask about Nathan. She was supposed to hate Nathan. Stephen recalled that Phantomflake knew Nathan's identity as the leader of the Syphiruz Mafia.

eαglesnᴏνel "Why did you ask me to search for them? Aren't you angry with Nathan? I know you know his identity." Stephen was very direct, confronting Jane. He wanted to understand her and figure out why she chose to save her enemy.

While looking at her, Stephen didn't see any hint of hatred or anger in Jane's eyes. 'Why? Does she care about Nate? I thought... she hates him...'

Jane crumpled her face. It was so hard to avoid Stephen's questioning. 'Damn it! Stephen is a smart guy.'

"I don't hate him. In fact, I owed him... for keeping me alive," Jane said meaningfully.

Stephen just bobbed his head. Then his eyes became sullen. "Nate is not fine... another important person in his life got hurt."

Jane's heart clenched when she heard that. She could already imagine the devastation Nathan was feeling because of what happened to Abigail.

'I want to see him...' Jane chewed on her lips. She already missed Nathan.

"Steph, can I visit the hospital?"
