Chapter 824 To Survive No Matter What

Day Eighty-Eight...

Jane made sure to cook breakfast for Nathan. She was busy in the kitchen when Axel approached her. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Lady Jane, let me help you." Axel volunteered, standing next to Jane in front of the kitchen top.

"Oh, no need. I want to do this for Nathan. By the way, where is Butler Li? I haven't seen him around the house. Is he on leave? Or perhaps his Day off?"

Axel's expression changed slightly at the mention of Butler Li. "The truth is... our Supreme Leader detained Butler Li."

"Huh? But why? What did he do?" Jane was surprised when she heard that. She stopped what she was doing, turning to face Axel and meeting his eyes.

"Butler Li is a traitor. He is Vincent's uncle. According to him, he infiltrated the Sparks Family to spy on them. It was he who gave your contact details to Vincent. He learned that you were our Boss' special friend so Vincent targeted you..."

Jane furrowed her eyebrows after hearing that revelation. She didn't expect that Butler Li was the root cause of her suffering.

'Sigh. I am so fond of Butler Li. I don't know what to feel about this.'

Jane suddenly became quiet. The atmosphere in the kitchen had become awkward so Axel decided to leave, not disturbing her cooking.

Jane continued preparing breakfast for Nathan even though her mind was wandering off somewhere.

After a few minutes, Jane headed upstairs, bringing Nathan his breakfast-in-bed. She placed the tray on the bedside table before sitting down on the edge of the bed.

Jane walked over and sat down in front of the mirror, her wet hair dripping down her back. Nathan stood behind her, gently gathering her damp locks in his hands before switching on the blower. The warmth of the air, combined with his careful touch, made her close her eyes in comfort.

Nathan watched her beautiful face through the mirror. As his fingers stroked her hair, Nathan remembered the secret conversation between Ethan and Abigail which was recorded by his son's robotic friends.

'Should I ask Jane about it? Is it really possible that her soul got lost and possessed Abigail's body?' Nathan contemplated whether to bring the topic up or not.

Jane had sensed that Nathan got distracted and he was spacing out.

"Nate. Are you okay? What were you thinking?" She asked him worriedly. She assumed that Nathan was worried sick about Ethan.

Meanwhile, Nathan gazed at her intently. After careful consideration, Nathan shook his head.

'There's no way. She'd think I'm crazy. Soul swap? That's impossible,' Nathan thought, trying to shake off the wild idea swirling in his mind. Nathan quickly flashed a smile and said, "Oh, it's nothing. I just got lost for a second, distracted by your charm. You look so beautiful... I can't seem to take my eyes off you."

He leaned in a little closer and took the opportunity to taste her kissable lips once again. He quickly captured her lips, kissing her passionately.

Jane let out a soft giggle when their lips parted. "You naughty guy!"

Nathan chuckled softly and wrapped his arms around her from behind, pulling her close. Resting his chin on her shoulder, he whispered, "Once everything's taken care of, marry me, Jane. I don't ever want to be separated from you again. Let's live together, with Ethan... and maybe even make more babies."

Jane's heart tightened at his words. Of course, she also longed for the life he was offering her. But she didn't know if things would turn out as they hoped after today. Her safety and Ethan's safety were still uncertain.

"Yes. I would love that. Let's do our best to fulfill that, Nate." After saying that, she turned to kiss him again.

'I'll do my best to make that happen. I will survive no matter what... for you and Ethan's sake.' Jane swore to herself.
