Chapter 439 Ethan's Special Gift



Day Fifty-One...

~~*****~~

[ At Xu Family Mansion... ]

Ethan shut himself inside his room. He had no appetite to eat. He was just sulking in his bed, doing nothing.

Knock! Knock!

"Grandson... this is your grandpa. May I enter?" The old man couldn't leave his grandson because he was worried about him.

Ethan lazily got off the bed and decided to open the door. His bright expression was gone. His eyes were empty.

Old Man Xu felt heartbroken seeing his grandson acting like this.

"Ethan, what's wrong?" Old Man Xu held his shoulders and guided him to the bed. They both sat down, facing each other.

"My Mom is gone. I don't know where to find her." Ethan sniffed, trying to hold his tears.

"Whose Mom are you talking about?" Old Man Xu didn't know if Ethan was referring to Monica or Abigail.

Ethan grabbed the teddy bear he won in the carnival and hugged it tightly. This bear was representing Phantomflake.

"My Mom... Abi..." Ethan looked down, pursing his lips.

Old Man Xu heaved a deep sigh. He stroked his hair and said, "Don't worry, Ethan. Your Dad will do his best to help Abi recover. We can bring her abroad. Our medical facility is complete with medical equipment." Old Man Xu was comforting his grandson.

But his words didn't have any effect on Ethan. He shook his head. "My Mom is missing... she is not the one in the hospital. I will find her, Grandpa!" Ethan glanced at his grandpa with a hopeful look in his eyes.

Old Man Xu became more worried about Ethan. His words didn't make sense to him. Missing? Finding her? But Abigail was in the hospital.

"Abi... since you are back to your body... I am hoping that you will be healthy. I owe you a lot... so I will do my best to protect you." Jane started talking to her.

"Dave is waiting for you. Once you wake up, I promise to fix things. I am sorry for making everything complicated... for you and Dave... for you and Nathan..." Jane pursed her lips. She didn't know how she would start again.

Nathan was now in love with Abigail. And he would be hurt if Abigail couldn't remember him.

Jane reached out, caressing Abigail's cheeks. Her expression softened as she thought of Abigail as her younger sister.

She was still in this emotional state when Bam-Bam appeared once more. Jane shot him a deathly glare.

"Why are you here again?" Jane sounded upset. She was angry at Bam-Bam.

Bam-Bam just smiled sheepishly, maintaining his distance from Jane.

"Master. Don't get mad at me. I'm trying my best to give you a second chance to live. Without my interference, you might have died a long time ago." Bam-Bam tried to justify his action.

Jane squinted her eyes at him and scowled at him. "Second chance? Then why do I have to die if I fail to win Nathan's over in the remaining 50 days?"

Bam-Bam scratched his face. "Master... Nathan's love will save you from your demise. Just trust me. I meant no harm to you."

Jane's frown deepened further when she heard that. "Bam-Bam, what do you want from me? Why are you doing this to me? And how about Abi? Why did she end up in a coma?"

"Master... Abi should have died after falling. How could someone survive a fall from the 13th floor of the building? She is in a coma because her body is not yet healed. As I told you before, your soul and life essence were the ones who helped her body recover little by little.

They were still talking when Jane and Bam-Bam heard Nathan's cold voice outside. The two gazed at the closed door.

"Stephen, get out of my way. Why are you stopping me from entering the room?" Nathan's angry voice was heard behind the door.

Jane and Bam-Bam exchanged glances with one another. Jane's heart started to pound rapidly upon hearing Nathan's voice. She was hoping to see him.

"Master! In your mission... you are not allowed to reveal that your soul was transferred to Abigail's body. You can't tell Nathan about it! That's the most important rule of your new mission." Bam-Bam warned her.

"What will happen if I try to tell him about our soul swap?" Abigail asked him expectantly.

"You will die instantly." Bam-Bam promptly responded.

"What the hell? Who made such a crazy rule?" Jane failed to control herself and accidentally raised her voice.

Nathan, Stephen, and Aiden heard her voice.
