Nathan's eyebrow twitched when he heard the concern in Tatsumi's voice. 'He just met her but he is acting as if he had known her for so long.'

"I have already recovered... I'm feeling better," Jane responded to Tatsumi's query. "I just need to have a follow-up check-up to see if I am healthier than before."

Mr. Hiroshi couldn't help but wonder. He didn't hear anything about Jane getting sick. "My daughter, were you sick? What illness?"

Mr. Hiroshi had no idea that Jane had just woken up from a coma. When she heard her father, Jane reflexively looked at Nathan. He was the one who suddenly brought this topic up and they agreed to hide that incident from her father.

Nathan looked away, avoiding her gaze. It was just his mistake for bringing up that topic. He didn't know what had gotten into him.

Maybe he wanted her to stay and not leave. Who knows Jane would tell Tatsumi something she was not supposed to say? Was this the only reason he wanted to stop her from hanging out with Tatsumi?

"Pa, it's not a serious illness. A few weeks before we met, I got a fever," Jane lied, covering up for Nathan's slip of the tongue.

"Then why do you need a follow-up check-up, my lady? You seem so fine to me today." Tatsumi butted in. Then he shifted his gaze to Nathan. He sized him up.

"Who is he?" Tatsumi asked his father. But everyone heard his question.

"This is Nathan Sparks, my younger daughter's boyfriend," Mr. Hiroshi introduced Nathan to Tatsumi.

Tatsumi smiled at Nathan. 'Oh... So he can't be my competitor.' He nodded his head, satisfied with what he heard. At first, he thought Nathan was into Jane. But he was wrong.

"Nice meeting you, Mr. Sparks. Don't worry about Miss Jane. I will take care of her." Tatsumi wrapped his arm around Jane's shoulders.

But Jane was no longer paying attention to them. She was staring at the young boy who was standing next to Nathan. She was dying to greet him but she didn't know how she would approach him. Ethan was just silent.

When Abigail glanced in his direction, she felt very uncomfortable. This wealthy and handsome bachelor became her boyfriend?! Nathan was famous here, a man with an extraordinary background... the type of guy that every woman was dreaming of.

'Gosh. How did I get involved with him? How can I forget Dave? No. I don't want Dave to think that Nathan is better than him. Despite his simple background, Dave is the guy I truly love.'

Abigail became more confused.

"Abi..." Nathan softly called her name. Abigail just stayed quiet and put down her phone. She didn't know how she would interact with him.

Nathan traced his steps toward her. He could feel the uneasiness of Abigail. Nathan clenched his fists. Abigail seemed not to be happy when she saw him.

But Nathan still tried to converse with her normally. "How do you feel now..."

"I'm feeling better now, Mr. Sparks," She replied awkwardly.

Nathan felt like something pinched his heart so hard when he heard her calling that. She sounded too formal and distant. He wasn't used to this kind of treatment coming from Abigail. Where was the woman who declared to him that she would win his heart no matter what?

Nathan would like to hug her but he could feel that he was not welcome there. The woman was exhibiting unfamiliarity toward him. She had truly forgotten him and this fact broke his heart.

"I'm glad to hear that. I came here to check on you..." Nathan tried his best to hide his pain.

"Here..." Nathan placed the basket of fruits on the bedside table. "Would you like to eat some fruit?" Nathan just wanted to have a normal conversation with her.

However, the more they talked the more Abigail was feeling uncomfortable. She was aware that Nathan considered her as his girlfriend. However, she didn't feel the same way. Dave was still the guy in her heart.

"Mr. Sparks..." Unable to bear the tension, Abigail decided to be frank.

"I don't know what happened between us... but... I'm sorry that... I can't remember those memories... And by talking to you like this... makes me feel uncomfortable."

Her words crushed his heart further.

"It's alright. I understand. But I'm willing to wait... until you remember me again," Nathan replied with a faint smile on his face.

"I am not forcing you to acknowledge me as your boyfriend. I am here just because I want to see you and I care so much about you. I will keep waiting... I will not give up on you, Abi..." Nathan added.

Abigail was at a loss for words. She just stared at him blinking. She didn't know what to say.
