Day Sixty-Five...

[ At Jane's secret hideout... ]
Cherry continued tracking Jane's location when she received a message from Stephen. He informed her that Jane sent him a message. They had to postpone the hypnosis session since Jane went abroad. However, she didn't disclose her location.
"Sigh! I'm glad my big sister is safe. But wait... Don't tell me... she went to Country R to conduct a personal investigation about the King Stallion Mafia?" Cherry gasped at that thought.
"Going there alone is very risky! She should have asked me to accompany her." Cherry pouted her lips.
She leaned on her chair and stretched her arms. She had been facing her computer for twelve hours now. She didn't stop searching for Jane.
She was about to close her tabs when suddenly her eyes caught a glimpse of Jane. After hacking the satellite, Cherry started checking the CCTV cameras in the vicinity of the hospital where they last saw Jane.
"Wait! This is my sis!" Her eyes widened in shock. She saw Jane in a stretcher bed, being transferred to an ambulance.
What surprised her more was Nathan's presence. He was following Jane until she got carried inside the ambulance. She moved her somewhere.
"Is she sick again?" Cherry's expression became sullen. Worries and concerns were evident to her face.New n0vel chapters are published on
Without a second thought, Cherry dialed Stephen's number. It rang for a few seconds before Stephen answered her call.
"Hello, Che?"
"Doc Stephen! I found my sister. I learned about her whereabouts. She is with Mr. Sparks. I guess she's sick again. I saw her being moved in an ambulance. I'm still tracking where the ambulance was." Cherry spoke spontaneously, sharing information with Stephen.
"I think it was a lie when they said my sister went abroad!" she added. There was a hint of accusation in her voice.
On the other hand, Stephen's mood changed instantly when he heard that. He became upset since Nathan didn't say a thing.
"I think I know where she is right now," Stephen mumbled in a serious tone.
"I'm coming with you, Doc! Let's meet!" Cherry stood up, grabbing her motorcycle key.
"Okay. I'll wait for you here in my clinic." Stephen also abandoned his paperworks as he got ready to leave. He was worried about Jane's health. Did she get sick again? But why did Nathan hide this from them?
Stephen clenched his fists. He couldn't believe that Nathan would do this. Everyone had been searching for Jane. It turned out she was with him.
"I need to get his explanation." Stephen mumbled to himself. He immediately closed his clinic. Fortunately, he didn't have patients today. For Stephen, Jane was his top priority.
As he waited for Cherry to arrive, Aiden showed up.
"Bro! What's up?" Aiden greeted him cheerfully. He even waved his hand. But he stopped when he noticed Stephen's cold expression. He wasn't in the mood.
"Hey. What's wrong?" Aiden asked him worriedly.
"It's Nathan. He is hiding Jane from us." Stephen replied, not hiding his negative emotions.
Aiden was rendered speechless. He didn't know what to say. He could feel that Stephen was upset.
He rubbed his temples. He planted some spies. But this time they didn't have access to the medical facility. Then a certain someone popped up in his mind– Veronica. She was a doctor and she might have worked inside the facility.
'I have to ask Veronica's help. She might know the in and out of the facility.'
"Go back to one of my hideouts. You have to meet Veronica. Ask her about the security system of the Medical Facility. We are going to sneak in. If Phantomflake is there, you have to take her away." Vincent's order was firm.
"I'm leaving now. I'll proceed to your hideout, my King. Give me the exact address." Phoenix asked Vincent politely. The two ended the call and Vincent sent him the address.
Meanwhile, inside the Medical Facility, Nathan was still waiting for the analysis of Jane's examination result. He had no idea that Stephen, Cherry, and Aiden were on the way to confront him.
Little Ethan, on the other hand, was watching over Jane. He stayed in her ward. He was doing his studies inside as he didn't want to get separated from her.
It did not take long before the doctor entered Nathan's office, holding the analysis of the result. The doctor looked a little bit tense when he faced Nathan. He didn't know how he would bring up the news about Jane's health.
"Did you find anything? When is she going to wake up?" Nathan asked the doctor in his authoritative voice.
"Sir. We don't know when she is going to regain consciousness. But rest assured that we will closely monitor her." the doctor promptly said, afraid to get scolded again by Nathan.
"How is her CT scan result?" Nathan asked him again curiously.
The doctor bit his lower lip as he handed the result over to Nathan. His hand was trembling when he passed the document to Nathan.
Nathan accepted it, his eyes scanning the content. But for his convenience, the doctor spoke up after finding his courage.
"Sir, I'm sorry to tell you but... we found a tumor in her brain... and by the look of it..." the doctor paused for a moment, heaving a deep sigh. "It's malignant. This might be the cause of why she collapsed."
"Sir... after running some tests... It looks like her days are numbered."
Nathan froze the moment he heard that. 'What? What did he just say?'
His brain couldn't process the doctor's words. Or perhaps, he just refused to believe it.
[ She has a brain tumor... ]
[ It's malignant... ]
[ Her days are numbered...]
Those words resounded in his ears and kept repeating in his mind.
'No. This can't be!' His mind screamed but he tried to hide his negative feelings.
"How long?" These were the only words he could utter at this moment.
"One month..." the doctor replied.
Thud!
Nathan dropped the documents in his hands.
