Chapter 477 A Hidden Motive

Day Fifty-Five...

~~*****~~

'Phantomflake?' Vincent was put in a daze the moment he recognized Jane.

Jane grabbed the opportunity that Vincent was still in his stupor. She twisted his pinky finger so that he could loosen his grip on her. Then she pushed him away from her body. She didn't expect that Vincent would be able to notice her presence. He was very vigilant.

"I don't know what you are talking about," Jane feigned innocence.

Her voice snapped Vincent back to the present. He assessed her reaction. 'Can she recognize me? Or not?'

Vincent's eyes scanned her from top to bottom. Jane also sized him up. She was displeased by Vincent's sneaky attack. She had never thought that he was capable of doing that.

'Why is she after me? But I don't think she can remember me. And what is she doing here? I thought Nathan was holding her captive?' Vincent was confused. Subconsciously, he moved closer to her but Jane stepped back. Her instinct was telling her not to lower her guard in front of this guy.

'Maintain a safe distance from him...' Jane thought to herself.

Vincent was about to hold her when she moved away.

"I just want to apologize for my rudeness. I misjudged you. I think I am just paranoid." he bowed his head to apologize.

Jane didn't want to prolong this conversation. "Fine. I accept your apology." She was about to leave when Vincent stopped her. He held her elbow.

Ethan was still a kid so he was worried about him. Nathan started to regret revealing the truth to Ethan. He was afraid that the young boy couldn't handle the shocking truth about his mother's death.

While waiting for Jane, Dave narrated Abigail's story to them. Both of them grew up in the same orphanage. They were childhood friends. He just omitted the story about his romantic relationship with Abigail.

Dave knew that Mr. Hiroshi and Madam Priyanshi only acknowledged Nathan as Abigail's boyfriend. He didn't want to complicate things by revealing to them that he was her boyfriend before she lost her memory. Mr. Hiorshi also kept his silence regarding Jane's statement. According to her, Dave was Abigail's real boyfriend.

Meanwhile, Mr. Hiroshi and Madam Priyanshi were so glad to hear about some childhood memories of Abigail. It was unfortunate that they were not able to witness her grow. But as long as she was happy and alive, they already felt grateful.

"Once Abigail wakes up, I will treat her well. I'll do my best to fulfill my duty as her father and show her how much I care for her."

"Yes. I agree. It's not too late for us. Jane and Abigail deserve our love and care." Madam Priyanshi also spoke up.

Dave could only smile at them. "Abi will be happy once she wakes up. Her dream is to have a complete family. Aside from Scarlett Family, she has the Yan Family and the Hiroshi Family."

"I have to thank the Scarlett Family for adopting my daughter. They took care of her on my behalf." Mr. Hiroshi would like to express his gratitude toward the Scarlett Family.

"Yes, Uncle. I can introduce you to them." Dave volunteered.

"Sure. Thanks, Dave. But for now, I can't wait for Abigail to wake up. We have a lot of catching up to do. How I wish she recovers soon." A hint of sorrow could be seen in Mr. Hiroshi's eyes. They didn't have an assurance that Abigail would wake up. But they believed in her. She was a strong woman. She could survive this!

Dave couldn't hide his sadness. He felt the same way. 'Yes. We still have a lot of catching up to do... so Abi, you must wake up... soon.'

The three of them were watching Abigail when they suddenly noticed some movement. Abigail's fingers moved!

"Wait! Did you see that? Her hands just move!" Madam Priyanshi grabbed Mr. Hiroshi and pointed her finger at Abigail's hand.
