Chapter 481 They Are All Waiting For Her



Day Fifty-Five...

~~*****~~

Kazuki was surprised when he noticed the young boy. "Oh. Here's the young version of Lady Jane!"

Kazuki ruffled Ethan's hair but Little Ethan crumpled his face as he removed Mr. Kazuki's hand. "You can't force a girl to marry a guy she doesn't like."

Kazuki: "..."

'Did I say something wrong? The young boy looks mad.' Kazuki wondered to himself.Updated from n0velbIn.(c)o/m

"Ethan," Nathan gave his son a warning look. He didn't like the way Ethan acted impolitely in front of Mr. Hiroshi and Kazuki.

Ethan immediately lowered his head and apologized to Kazuki.

"Sorry about that. My son is moody today. He doesn't mean to be rude to the elders." Nathan spoke on Ethan's behalf.

On the other hand, Mr. Hiroshi reprimanded Kazuki. "Kazuki, this is not the right place to discuss something about my daughter's marriage. Don't bring it up again here. Understand?"

"Okay, Master. I'm sorry! But anyway, my son is arriving today. May I leave you for a while, Master? I'm going to fetch him together with Jane." Kazuki asked Mr. Hiroshi's permission.

Both Nathan and Ethan frowned when they heard Kazuki's last remarks. Was that the reason Jane was not around today? She was accompanying Kazuki to fetch his son at the airport.

"Uncle Kazuki," she smiled back at him, greeting him.

"Right timing! Do you want to come with me to fetch my son at the airport?" Kazuki grabbed Jane's hands, giving her a pleading look.

Jane was caught off guard by Kazuki's request. She looked at her father with a questioning gaze. Mr. Hiroshi could only sigh helplessly while rubbing his temples. His right-hand man was so determined to matchmake his son to Jane.

Jane tossed a look at Ethan who was not looking at her. She felt like Ethan didn't want her presence there. "Okay, Uncle. I'm just going to see my sister for a few minutes. After that, we can leave and fetch your son."

Ethan clenched his fists and pursed his lips. He was displeased by Jane's decision. Part of him didn't want Jane to get close to another guy aside from his father. Not saying a word, Ethan walked out, showing his annoyance and disappointment. And Jane misunderstood it, thinking that Ethan couldn't bear to see her and stand in her presence. Jane was saddened by those random thoughts.

Jane tried her best to gather her emotions and looked calm in front of others. She decided to take a look at her sister. The men gave her a chance to see her sister alone. Nathan proceeded to his office while Dave, Mr. Hiroshi, and Kazuki stayed outside the ward.

When Jane was left alone inside Abigail's ward, she grabbed the opportunity to talk to her sister and express all her thoughts. She sat down next to Abigail's sick bed and she held her hand.

"Sis... our father and our grandfather are already waiting for you. Wake up now. We need you." Jane squeezed Abigail's hand.

"Keep fighting, Sis. Now, that I'm here. I will protect you for the remaining days of my life. And I will do my best to capture the culprit who targeted you," Jane made a promise.

After a while, Jane's lips curled up into a faint smile. "Your man is also here with us, waiting for you. Dave will help me in catching the culprit. You are so lucky, my dear sister. You have someone like him who loves you unconditionally. Dave is a good man. A loving and caring man."

"Unlike me... I'm so unlucky because the person I like hates me so much..." Jane continued to confide her feelings with her.

"And the young boy who is close to my heart... hates me now. I can't blame him. I did something despicable. I deserve to be hated by those two. But I won't give up until I can make it up to them. If I can't gain their love... all I ask is to get their forgiveness." Jane smiled but her eyes were filled with sadness and pain.

"Sis... sometimes... I don't know if I can continue this mission... I get discouraged. But because of you, and our family... I found another reason to continue striving... and to live. I hope it's not too late for me to start a new life with you and Dad... with our grandpa." Jane paused for a moment. She felt the lump in her throat. Before she realized it, her tears started to fall from the corners of her eyes.

Jane let out a soft giggle before wiping her tears. "Abi, your big sis is not a crybaby. My heart just feels too heavy. I need to let it all out."

"Sis... when are you going to wake up? I don't think I can accomplish this mission without you." There was a hint of helplessness in her voice.

"Sis..." Jane kept calling her. Then she stopped midway when she felt Abigail's fingers move. She gazed down and looked at her face only to meet Abigail's emerald eyes. Abigail finally regained consciousness!
