784 One Step Ahead!

Day Eighty-Two...

~~*****~~

[ Country J: Sakura District Hospital... ]

Nathan would be returning to Country M today as he needed to take care of his father and monitor his condition. He heard an update from Butler Li that the old man hadn't regained consciousness yet even though his test results were all normal.

Before flying back to Country M, Nathan dropped by the hospital to say goodbye to Jane and his son, Ethan.

"Are you leaving today?" Jane asked Nathan. There was a hint of disappointment in her voice. She didn't want to be apart from him.

"Yes. My father's condition didn't improve."

Jane just nodded. Nathan noticed the sad look in her eyes. To cheer her up, Nathan pulled her into a warm hug and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"I'm going to miss you. I'll wait for you in Country M," Nathan softly mumbled, tightening his grip on her body. "Jane..."

"Yes, Nate?"

Natham broke the hug to look at her. Then he cupped her face using both hands as he caressed her cheeks.

"Thank you for fighting for me. I'm so happy that your father has already accepted our relationship. We've cleared the misunderstandings."

Jane put on a faint smile, also reaching out to touch Nathan's face, her eyes filled with love.

"I'm also glad. My father will no longer force me to marry Tatsumi. And he will not restrict me from seeing you. We've been through a lot. We wasted so much time because of Vincent and Monica's deception. If we could only turn back time... we could avoid these conflicts and misunderstandings..."

Hearing her words, Nathan leaned over, kissing her lips. His lips brushed her lips softly, using his tongue to lick the surface of her lips. He wanted to seize this moment because he knew he would miss her a lot.

Jane couldn't return to Country M for now since Mia was still recuperating. She still needed more days to recover completely before they could discharge her from the hospital.

Meanwhile, Jane matched the intensity of his kiss. Her tongue played with his tongue, welcoming him inside her mouth. They licked and sucked each other, tasting their sweetness. The exchange of heated kisses lasted for several minutes before they got satisfied. They panted heavily when they broke the kiss, the yearning still lingered on their eyes.

"Nate, I'm coming with you." Jane made up her mind.

That was the time Tatsumi and Hanabi entered the ward. They could sense the gloomy atmosphere inside.

"What's happening here, Dad? Why is everyone looking so serious?" Tatsumi asked them.

Nathan and Jane didn't say a word as they were trying to calm their raging emotions. They hated Monica to the core.

"The Godfather collapsed and Abigail had been kidnapped." Mr. Kazuki dropped the bomb to the two newcomers.

'Damn! I'm too late. I was supposed to protect Abigail and keep her safe.' Hanabi cursed herself inwardly. It looked like their enemy was one step ahead of them.

"Hanabi, Tatsumi... I need someone to take care of Mia and Ethan... I'm returning to Country M to find and rescue my sister." Jane asked for their help.

But Tatsumi and Hanabi wanted to join them in searching for Abigail and rescue her.

"Sis, let me join you! Abigail is my responsibility!" Hanabi expressed her desire to accompany Jane to Country M and help her.

"Me too. I want to help." Tatsumi butted in.

Jane darted her gaze back and forth between Tatsumi and Hanabi. "But I need someone who would take care of the kids..."

"I... I'll do it." Another person spoke up, emerging from behind. Everyone turned in the direction of that voice. They saw Speed standing at the front door of the ward.

"Please allow me to take care of Mia..." Speed begged Jane. She wanted to make up for her mistake. Taking a deep sigh, Jane finally made her decision. "Tatsumi, please stay behind. I want you to look after the kids together with Speed."

Tatsumi: "..."

'Eh? Why me?' Tatsumi felt like crying.

But Jane spoke again. "Tatsumi... I'm giving you this important mission because I trust you. You will protect my daughter and Ethan..."

Tatsumi's reluctance disappeared instantly upon hearing that. "Okay, my Lady! Count on me! I will never disappoint you!"
