Chapter 591 Stephen's Resolved



Day Sixty-Six...

~~******~~

[ At Zhou's Hospital... ]

Nathan looked so troubled. He didn't know what to feel anymore. He was having complicated emotions right now. He still couldn't believe that Jane was going to die due to natural causes.

His mind couldn't think straight. He was distracted by Jane's situation. He thought he would be glad to kill her. But now, he already had a change of heart.

His desire to kill her already disappeared a long time ago. That was he accepted the fact that Jane was Shining Star. However, Nathan failed to show it through his actions. He kept acting so cold in front of Jane. And now, he started to regret it.

He turned to leave as he could no longer watch Stephen. His best friend, Stephen, was showing his affection toward Jane. And he couldn't stand it.

Nathan was walking in the hallway when he bumped into Ethan and Cherry.

"Dad, where are you going? Who is with Miss Jane?" Ethan asked his father as he blocked his way.

"Your Uncle Stephen is inside," He shortly responded.

"I'm going to leave for a moment," Nathan added.

Cherry just nodded her head at Nathan. Meanwhile, Ethan grabbed his father's hand. He could feel that his father was troubled by something. He could see through his expression alone.

"Did something wrong happen?" He asked his father worriedly. "Have you talked to Miss Jane's doctor? What did he say?"

Nathan was rendered speechless for a moment. He couldn't tell Ethan that Jane had a brain tumor and was dying. He was aware that Ethan was fond of Jane.

'I should talk to Stephen. He should hide Jane's health condition from Ethan.' Nathan made a mental note.

"Dad, I'm talking to you." Ethan tugged his hand.

"It's nothing serious. They haven't found the reason why she is not waking up. But her examination results are all normal." Nathan said partly true and partly a lie.

Ethan just bobbed his head. He wasn't worried because Bam-Bam guaranteed that Jane would wake up after seven days.

"Okay, Dad." Ethan turned to Cherry. "Let's go, Miss Cherry."

Instead of leaving the hospital, Nathan followed Ethan and Cherry. He wanted to make sure that Stephen wouldn't mention anything related to Jane's health.

Was it too late to start over with her? Nathan could see the determination in Stephen's eyes. For some unknown reason, Nathan envied him. He was jealous of his best friend.

"Can I have your support, Nate?" Stephen faced Nathan, looking straight into his eyes.

Nathan was tongue-tied. He didn't know what to say.

Stephen held his shoulders and said, "I think this is now the time you should forgive Jane. Let go of your grievances toward her."

Nathan remained silent.

"Nate, can I ask you for a favor this time? As your best friend?"

Nathan just looked at him, waiting for his next words.

"Can you please stop fighting and hating her? I want her to live peacefully once she wakes up. But don't get me wrong. I'm not yet giving up on her. I'll find a way for her to prolong her life. She must survive!"

"I love her, Nate. I truly love her. This time I want to make her happy and live a simple life. The life she always wanted." Stephen could still recall when Jane told him about her simple dream. At that time, she felt so exhausted and depressed about what she had gone through.

Stephen asked her if given a chance to go back in time what she wanted to be. And Stephen got that simple but meaningful response from her. She wanted to start over.

Nathan looked away but he nodded his head in response to Stephen. "I'll try my best not to interfere. Just do what you need to do and I will do what I must do." He didn't promise anything to Stephen but the way he said those words seemed like Nathan was already giving him permission.

Stephen was his best friend. And he thought he could take good care of Jane better than him. He could no longer bring back the past. His relationship with Jane was very complicated.

From being friends to mortal nemesis... he thought he could no longer go back to what they used to be. Both of them already hurt each other. It seemed that they kept hurting each other.

With a solemn look in his eyes, Nathan turned around to leave. He didn't have anything more to say to Stephen.

On the other hand, Stephen watched Nathan's back with a grateful look. He could feel that Nathan accepted his decision.

'Thanks, Nate.'

The reason why Stephen asked for his support was because Jane was once Nathan's friend, Shining Star. Getting his permission was enough to give him more courage to confess his feelings for Jane.

But unknown for both men, what Jane needed the most at this moment was Nathan's love and affection. This was the only way that could help Jane survive.

Unfortunately, Nathan was still clueless. He kept committing mistakes and making wrong decisions when it came to Jane.

Meanwhile, back to Jane's ward, an emergency happened. Jane's body began to convulse causing Ethan and Cherry to panic. Her pulse also dropped and the beeping sound of the monitor resounded in the entire room.

Beep! Beep!

"Miss Cherry! Something is wrong with Mom. Please call the doctor!" Ethan was holding Jane's hands.
