Chapter 459 Opening Pandora's Box



Day Fifty-Three...

~~*****~~

When Chantha arrived from buying supplies, Stephen informed her that she would bring Jane with him. Nathan was already aware of it.

As per Nathan's order, Chantha had to stick with Jane all the time. In the end, Stephen, Jane, Cherry, and Chantha left the villa together.

Jane was very quiet during the entire journey. Cherry also noticed her downcasted look. She thought she was not feeling well.

"Sis, are you sure you are just okay? You don't look good." Cherry expressed her concern for Jane.

"I'm fine," Jane simply replied.

Little did she know, Jane was just sad because of Ethan. She already regretted lying to him. She was not used to treating Ethan like that.

"How's Abigail's condition?" Jane changed the topic. She hadn't heard any news related to Abigail.

"It's still the same. Sigh. I miss Abi." Cherry sighed deeply.

"Have you caught the culprit?" Jane's question was directed at Chantha.

"Nope. We haven't traced the real culprit. We caught the wrong hitman." Chantha replied truthfully.

Jane frowned deeply. She wondered who wanted Abigail dead. She needed to find out and protect Abigail. This was the least she could do for her.

"I'll help you with your investigation," Jane suddenly volunteered.

But Stephen reacted. "No, you can't. You haven't fully recovered yet. You just woke up from a coma. Your body is still weak and frail. See. You look so pale."

"I agree. Sis, you should focus on your recovery. I will help them." Cherry butted in.

Jane just fell silent. She had no time to rest. She only had 47 days left. No matter what they said, she would still do what she needed to do.

Then she remembered the last request she made from Stephen. The DNA test result.

'Damn! I made that request as Abigail... I doubt if Stephen will give me the result. I strictly told him not to give the result to anyone but me.' Jane rubbed the space between her brows as she recalled their conversation.

Jane's eyes lit up when she heard that. 'Hmm, who knows he hides the result in his room. Yeah. I should check it out later.'

"Dr. Zhou, where is his room?" Jane asked him expectantly.

"The last room in the left wing of this building."

Jane just bobbed her head. She already made a mental note to sneak into that room without Stephen's knowledge.

An hour later...

Jane was done with her examination. She excused herself from Dr. Zhou who was busy interpreting the result of her physical examination and laboratory test.

Stephen was preparing for the snacks of the ladies. Jane grabbed this opportunity to sneak inside Stephen's room. It was locked but Jane found way to unlock it.

She was amazed to see how organized Stephen's room was. It was spacious. It contained a large bookshelf with hundreds of books about Medicine.

'Sigh. Stephen is very studious. I wonder if he already read all the books here.'

Jane looked around and saw Stephen's photos. She smiled upon seeing the younger version of Stephen, Aiden, and Nathan. They were in one frame.

"These three men... are truly best friends," Jane mumbled as she watched the photo. She was saddened knowing that Stephen and Nathan were in conflict because of her.

"I don't want them to fight because of me." Jane exhaled deeply.

After a while, she approached Stephen's desk. He had a desktop on his table.

"Black Rose didn't find my patient's record when she searched his private clinic and even his house. What if Stephen kept those files here?"

With that thought in mind, Jane immediately switched on Stephen's computer. She wanted to try her luck. Who knows she might find her patient's record here.

Jane was able to hack Stephen's password in just one minute. She quickly went through his files, looking for her files. It took her a while before she found a folder with her file name.

But to her surprise, the file was protected with another password. She tried to use Stephen's previous password but it was unmatched.

"Damn. He set a different password. He truly put so much effort into maintaining the confidentiality of my record."

Jane began to work on Stephen's computer again, figuring out to unlock the password of the folder. And finally, she was able to open the folder.

She immediately clicked the files to read. A few minutes later, a loud thud was heard when Jane dropped something. A look of utter shock could be seen in her eyes. Jane felt like she had opened Pandora's box after seeing a file in the folder. It was the same file Black Rose had seen before.

"I... I was pregnant...? Did I get pregnant? How come..."
