Chapter 441 Special In His Heart



Day Fifty-One...

~~*****~~

Aiden didn't know what to do. He kept pacing back and forth outside Abigail's VIP ward. Nathan kicked him out of the room, not allowing him to enter. He wanted to be alone.

It did not take long before Stephen came back to the hospital. He saw Aiden in front of the VIP ward.

"Stephen!" Aiden called his name. "What happened to you?" he asked when he noticed that Stephen's clothes were messy and he had some bruises on his face. Aside from Nathan, someone definitely punched him.

"Where's Nate? I need to talk to him," Stephen said with urgency.

"He is inside. He kicked me out and locked the door. He is furious. Why did you do that Steph? You should have been honest with him. He is our best friend!" Aiden started to reprimand Stephen.

Bam! Bam!

Stephen pounded the door so hard using his fist. "Nate! Open this door. We need to talk!"

Nathan only responded with silence. He didn't say a word. It seemed like Nathan was ignoring Stephen.

Aiden held Stephen's shoulders while shaking his head. "Nate is in a bad mood. You know him. He is stubborn. If he is mad, it will be hard to talk or negotiate with him. He won't listen."

Stephen exhaled sharply. He was worried about Jane's safety. He wanted to beg Nathan. In Stephen's point of view, he could see Jane as the vulnerable woman he met in Country Z six years ago, not Phantomflake, the assassin.

"Nate. As your best friend... I'm begging you. Please open the door. I won't leave. If I have to kneel, I'll do it." Stephen continued convincing Nathan. Without a second thought, Stephen dropped to his knees, kneeling in front of Nathan's ward.

"Hey! Hey! Stop it! Stand up, Steph. Don't create a scene here. The doctors and nurses will see you." Aiden reacted right away upon seeing his best friend, kneeling on the floor while facing the closed door. His voice was loud enough for Nathan to hear.

"What is happening here?" Old Man Xu also asked the three men.

On the other hand, Aiden felt like his angel just arrived to save him from this difficult situation. He didn't know how he would deal with them. This was the first time Nathan and Stephen argued and fought like this.

Aiden always annoyed Nathan, but at this moment, Stephen angered Nathan to the core.

Aiden immediately dragged Stephen up. He didn't want Ethan to misunderstand. The way he looked at them seemed like Stephen was being bullied by the two men because he was the only guy on his knees.

"It's nothing serious, Ethan... Uncle Xu... Stephen just slipped accidentally," Aiden lied while laughing sheepishly.

Old Man Xu raised his eyebrow, not believing his words. He shifted his gaze to his son, giving him a questioning look. He could tell that something was going on there. Both Nathan and Stephen had serious looks on their faces, and Nathan was surrounded by a dark aura.

'Did they fight? Misunderstanding perhaps? But why does Stephen kneel in front of Nathan?' Old Man Xu wondered to himself.

Little Ethan also had the same reaction. He looked at the three men suspiciously. Something fishy was going on here.

"Dad, Uncle Steph... Did the two of you fight? Are my Dad and Uncle Aiden bullying you?"

"Huh? Eh? Why me?! Why did I get involved suddenly here?!" Aiden complained exasperatedly.

"Because you just watched them argue!" Ethan spat back at him. "You should advise them to reconcile."

"Eh??! Little Young Master... you're hurting my feelings. I'm neutral! I'm trying my best to be a mediator of peace between them, but it's so hard. Why don't you talk to them, my dear godson? Who knows these two adults might listen to you?" Aiden finally found the chance to escape and let Ethan and Old Man Xu handle this situation.

"Nate, Stephen... speak up now. What is this all about?" Old Man Xu could no longer hold his curiosity. It was so rare to see Stephen and Nathan arguing.

Little Ethan bobbed his head in support of his grandpa's words. He was also in a sullen mood right now. He was sad for not seeing Phantomflake's soul inside Abigail's body.

"Hmmm. I think Ethan we should go and visit your Miss Abi. Let adults solve their own issues." Aiden grabbed Ethan's small hand, inviting him to get inside Abigail's ward.

When Ethan heard that, he reached out, tugging the hem of his father's patient clothes. "Dad! Listen to me. Mom is missing. She is not the woman lying on that sick bed. Let's search for her. Let's go back to where you were rescued."

Everyone was rendered speechless when they heard Ethan's last remarks.
