Chapter 442 Conflicted Thoughts



Day Fifty-One...

~~*****~~

As expected, Nathan and others couldn't understand nor believe what Ethan was saying. They misunderstood him, thinking he was still in denial and couldn't accept that Abigail was in a coma.

They were clueless that Ethan was referring to Phantomflake... the woman he could see while bonding with Abigail for the past few months.

"I can see souls! Spirits." Ethan declared to them.

Nathan: "..."

Stephen: "..."

Old Man Xu: "..."

"Oh my gosh! You shouldn't stay here in the hospital!" Aiden covered Ethan's eyes after he recovered from his shock. "Many souls are wandering around here." But Ethan removed Aiden's hands and rolled his eyes skyward.

On the other hand, Nathan frowned when he heard that. This was not a funny joke. He motioned for his son to come closer to him. When Ethan reached his father's spot, Nathan tapped his shoulder and said, "Ethan... I know this is hard for you. But you have to accept this. Abi is sick. But she is going to recover."

Ethan crumpled his face. He knew it! No one would believe his words. 'If only Mom is here, she is going to understand me and believe my words. Just like me, she can see supernatural creatures. I think... I must find that fluffy flying cat. He is the only one who can find my mommy. Bam-Bam... where are you?'

Meanwhile, Aiden spoke again with his blabbering mouth. "Ethan, if you can see soul and spirits, have you seen your mother, Monica? Is she here? Is she guarding Nathan and you? Is that the reason you never cried before? Were you able to talk to her soul?"

Old Man Xu and Nathan shot Aiden with cold sharp glare. This guy's mouth didn't have a break. How could he mention Monica in this situation? Ethan was already stressed by Abigail's condition. And now, Aiden opened up another sensitive topic— Ethan's deceased mother.

"Nope. I have never seen my mother's soul... even once." Ethan promptly responded.The source of this content no/v(el)bi((n))

"What is your plan now, Stephen? Nathan won't listen to you. I believe he already made up his mind. He won't forgive Phantomflake. I bet his men are already torturing her at this moment."

Aiden's remarks triggered Stephen's feelings furthermore. He got more worried about Phantomflake.

"I have to stop them. I'll ask Axel myself. I need to find out where they brought her." Stephen sounded very determined. Without wasting any more time, Stephen turned around to leave. But before he completely disappeared from Aiden's sight, he told him to see Cherry. Cherry was also worried about Phantomflake. She saw several men capturing Jane.

Aiden reacted instantly when Cherry's name was mentioned. He also left the hospital, going to Stephen's place. Aiden wanted to know what Cherry was doing. She might be shocked by what she witnessed.

"Damn! I promised Cherry that I would protect her sis. I have to convince Nathan also." Aiden murmured to himself.

He had just reached the parking lot when he called Stephen. Stephen was already driving when he answered the call.

"What?" Stephen asked him.

"Stephen! Let's save Jane! Why don't we help her escape from Syphiruz? Or shall we ask for Ethan's help? I think Nathan might listen to his son. Ethan might be able to save Phantomflake's life. What do you think?"

"I don't think it's a good idea. Nathan will hate us if we will involve Ethan here. Ethan has no idea that his mother was killed by Phantomflake. How can we ask an innocent kid to save the person who murdered his mother?" Stephen disregarded Aiden's suggestion right away.

"But I will go to your first suggestion. If things get worse, we should rescue Jane and get her out of the Syphiruz. But we need to find out where is their headquarters. Did they bring Jane there?"

"Hmm... I will leave that task to you. For now, I have to go and comfort Cherry. She might be worried sick of her sister right now."

"Ok. Let's do this. But I will try to talk to Nathan and convince him again. I don't want him to hate us just because we chose to save Jane's life." Stephen was feeling conflicted.

While Aiden and Stephen were planning to rescue Phantomflake behind Nathan's back, Nathan decided to go to the Syphiruz Headquarters. Madam Priyanshi and Nadia stayed in the hospital together with Old Man Xu and Little Ethan.

[ At Syphiruz Mafia Headquarters... ]

Jane and Spider's team already arrived at the headquarters. They immediately brought Jane to the dark room.

Jane looked very calm and composed, not showing any fear as she traversed through the underground prison cells. She halted on her steps when she saw someone. Madam Lu was also there in the Dark Room!

'Nathan... he suspects Madam Lu as the mastermind for what happened to us...' Jane thought to herself.
