[ At Yan Family Mansion... ]
Mr. Hiroshi, Abigail, and Dave visited Old Master Yan and Madam Priyanshi. The Yan Patriarch was looking better. His health improved a lot lately. He was back to his cheerful self.
"My beloved granddaughter, come. Give me a hug." Old Master Yan beckoned with open arms. Abigail willingly embraced him, returning the hug with affection.
"Grandpa. How are you?" Abigail asked him, her eyes showing concern for the old man. She broke the hug and assessed her grandfather's figure. He finally gained weight.
Old Master Yan let out a soft chuckle and said, "I'm feeling much better now because you are here. I miss you and your sister."
Mr. Hiroshi and Dave just stayed behind, watching the sweet interaction between the grandfather and the granddaughter duo.
"Are you nervous?" Mr. Hiroshi whispered, nudging Dave's shoulder.
Dave gave him a faint smile before responding, "Yes, Sir. What if they won't accept me?"
Mr. Hiroshi gave him an encouraging pat on the back. "Don't worry. Everything will turn out just fine. Remember, it's my daughter's choice to love and choose you. Stand tall, hold your head high, and face him with confidence."
Dave could only smile, feeling grateful to his future father-in-law.
"Grandpa, I'd like you to meet someone," Abigail said, turning towards Dave and gesturing for him to join them.
"Yeah. I'm so happy. I can't wait to make you Mrs. Falcon." Dave moved closer to Abigail.

[ At Zhou's Hospital... ]
Nathan had already left the VIP, but Jane remained deeply affected by what she had witnessed moments ago. Her mind was still thinking of Nathan. Just when she had resigned herself to the idea of not winning his affection, a glimmer of hope unexpectedly appeared.
"Nate... you are making my resolve waver. Sigh..." Jane lamented to herself.
"Bam-Bam... are you there? Please respond to me." She asked for Bam-Bam's presence. "Is it real? Or this is just part of my fantasy?"
"Not a fantasy, Master. I guess, the devil is missing you. He is waiting for you to wake up." Bam-Bam responded.
"I'm not accustomed to seeing him so concerned about me. Please, tell me, how did this happen?" Jane inquired of Bam-Bam, seeking reassurance from him.
"Hahaha! I guess... because I told him that you are dying!" Bam-Bam replied proudly.
"What??! How did you do that? I thought I was not supposed to tell him anything? Did you break your own rule?" Jane questioned him.
"Of course not. I didn't break any rule. I didn't tell him about the soul swap and the remaining days left for your mission. I just informed him that your days are numbered by letting him believe you have terminal cancer... specifically... a brain tumor."
Jane: "..."
"So Nathan's behavior changed slightly just because he believes I'm dying from illness. Does he want me to wake up to fulfill my promise and exact his final revenge personally? Or maybe, he simply pities me?"
"Hey, Master. What's wrong? Are you upset? You should be celebrating. The devil started to care about you!"
Jane could only smile bitterly. "Just because I'm dying. He didn't want me to die from illness. Previously he hated it when I committed suicide before his eyes because he wanted to be the one to end my life."
