Day Sixty-Nine...

Vincent met Phoenix secretly.
"Our King, here's the invitation for the 50th Anniversary Celebration of the SYP Twilight Corp. You can bring your lady to the said event." Phoenix handed two invitation cards and gate passes to Vincent.
"Good job," Vincent responded as he accepted the cards. His lips curled up in a sinister smile.
"It's time to stir the Sparks Family," he mumbled meaningfully, his eyes fixed on the cards. "How's the old man?" Vincent was referring to Nathan's father, Old Man Xu.
"The Patriarch is living alone in the Xu Family Mansion. After work, he always goes straight home. During the weekend, he played golf with his friends and business partners." Phoenix informed him.
"I think he is no longer involved in the operation of the Syphiruz Mafia. He passed the whole authority to Nathan. All the decision-making of the organization comes from Nathan's order."
Vincent let out a derisive snort upon hearing that, a fleeting but unmistakable glimpse of animosity and bitterness flickering his gaze. He tightened his grip on the invitation card.
"There are three important things he cherishes the most. The company, his son, and his grandson. I will destroy all those precious things and make him realize his mistake," Vincent said coldly.
"He can't die just yet," Vincent added.
Phoenix nodded his head. "Don't worry, my King. The old man seems like he is in good health."
"Good. He must suffer along with his son." Vincent put down the invitation card and grabbed his glass of whiskey.
"Phoenix, I discovered Phantomflake's location. I want you to take her away today. Prepare your team. Go to the Zhou's Hospital. Do it today!" Vincent gave his order. This was the main reason he summoned Pheonix.
'You... you are waiting for her too,' Nathan's alter ego muttered to himself.
"Yes. I am... I am waiting for you as well," Nathan whispered, not arguing with his inner self. Surprisingly, he didn't deny his real feelings at this moment.
Little did he know, someone was watching him as he spoke to her. It was the invisible magical creature, Bam-Bam.
'I knew it! This might work. The devil is finally missing her!' Bam-Bam flew around in a cheerful mood. 'Master! You should have heard this.'
Without further ado, Bam-Bam snapped his fingers and a magic light surrounded Jane's head. He showed this scene to Jane's subconscious, letting her know what Nathan said to her and his expression as he looked at her. There was a hint of worry in Nathan's eyes.
Meanwhile, inside Jane's subconscious, she was waiting for another memory to pop up. However, Jane didn't have any flashbacks today. Instead, she saw Nathan standing next to her sick bed.
Jane's heart skipped a beat when she saw his handsome face. 'Damn it. I suddenly missed him.'
She heard him calling her Phantomflake. Nathan was talking to her!
"Is he genuinely concerned about me?" Jane pondered with a hint of amusement. "Is this reality, or am I simply dreaming?" Jane was cautious not to let her hopes soar too high; she feared potential disappointment in the end.
However, her heartbeat raced even faster when she noticed the concerned look in his eyes as he tried to caress her face. But to her dismay, Nathan stopped himself from touching her. She knew he hesitated.
But before she was consumed by disappointment, Jane heard his voice again.
"Jane... Everyone is waiting for your return. Your sister, your father... your family... even my son. When are you going to wake up?"
"Yes. I am..." he paused. "I am waiting for you as well."
Jane: "..."
Jane was at a loss for words. She didn't expect this.
