Chapter 849 The Last Mission: Doubts

Day Eighty-Nine...

'Phantomflake?' Nathan couldn't believe his eyes. Phantomflake was supposed to be detained in the Syphiruz Headquarters. What was she doing there? And why did Ethan call her Mommy?!

Nathan stood frozen in his spot as he watched the unfolding scene in front of him.

Jane was surprised to see Ethan running towards her. She had just arrived at SYP Twilight Corp to look for Ethan. She didn't expect that Ethan would be the one to welcome her as she set foot inside the building.

'Ethan... my son.'

Jane couldn't contain her happiness as she laid eyes on the young boy. She also ran toward him. She caught him in her arms as soon as she reached his spot. The young boy threw himself to her, clinging to her.

"Mommy! Mommy! You're here."

Jane was stupefied for a moment. 'Did he just call me Mommy? Does he know who I am?' n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

She was a little bit confused. Right now, Ethan was just a three-year-old boy whom she hadn't met yet. How could he recognize her?

'Don't tell me... he remembers me from our previous lives. Does he have recollections of our memories?' Jane tightened her embrace on Ethan's body. She wondered if Bam-Bam had something to do with this phenomenon. But then again, she recalled Ethan's words before– I will recognize your soul... because you are my mom.

"My baby..." she whispered.

She hoped this moment would not end. 'Can I just take you with me, Ethan? Your father won't believe my words. He will try to separate me from you. But I won't let that happen. If I have to beat him just to knock some sense in him, I will do it.'

"Who is that woman?" Old Man Xu asked Nathan in puzzlement.

"Phantomflake," he responded through gritted teeth.

Old Man Xu was taken aback. He was aware that Phantomflake was the one who assassinated Monica.

Nathan finally approached the two. Lots of people were already watching them on the lobby floor. Even the staff wondered why Ethan had called a stranger, Mommy.

"Ethan, listen to your father first. Go and play with Butler Li for now."

"Okay, Grandpa..." Ethan obeyed the old man. But he made sure to hug Jane once again before leaving the office.

Nathan, Jane, and Old Man Xu were left inside the office. Nathan sat beside his father while Jane was on the opposite side, facing the two men.

"Miss Phantomflake. I believe you escaped from my son's headquarters. So what is your motive for coming here?" Old Man Xu interrogated Jane calmly.

"I came here to see Ethan, my son," Jane confidently declared to them.

Nathan scowled at Jane's words while Old Man Xu was puzzled.

"Huh? Why are you claiming that Ethan is your son? Can you enlighten me–"

"Dad, don't believe her lies. I've already confirmed it. Monica is Ethan's biological mother." Nathan cut him off immediately.

"But she was cheating on you. I saw her with another guy!" Old Man Xu revealed to Nathan. The old man had been doubting Monica's sincerity since then. Just like Phantomflake, he planned on eliminating Monica for good.

"That's true!" Jane supported Old Man Xu's claim. "She is having a relationship with the Leader of the King Stallion Mafia. They are working together to bring you down, Nathan."

"The one I killed was an impostor. They orchestrated the hit to make you think Monica is dead, so your anger would be directed at me. Believe it or not, I am Ethan's biological mother. I had a son, and they stole him from me. That's why I asked you to call Dr. Stephen. He's the only one who knows my story. I'm telling you the truth!" Jane spoke spontaneously, leaving no details out. She was laying everything bare now. There was no need to beat around the bush.

"Nathan! They're playing you right into their hands! Don't let them deceive you over and over again!" Jane added desperately.

Slam!

Nathan punched the table using his fists. "Stop it, Phantomflake. You keep ruining Monica's image. No matter what you say I won't believe you. You have seen the results of the DNA test! That's the truth!"

Jane smiled bitterly. "They've planted so many spies and moles on your side. They can easily manipulate the results right under your nose."

Old Man Xu was the clear-headed guy right now as compared to Nathan. He didn't want to dismiss the possibility that Phantomflake must be telling the truth. Between Monica and this woman, Old Man Xu chose to believe Phantomflake's words.

"Son, calm down. Why don't we try to confirm and validate her story first? Let's call Stephen. Then we can also run another DNA test between Ethan and Phantomflake."

Jane glanced at Old Man Xu gratefully. She was glad that Nathan's father didn't judge her right away. Nathan was about to object but his father spoke again. "There's something odd, too. Ethan's behavior toward this woman... it's different as if he already knows her. Why not trust your son's judgment? Don't be close-minded, Nate. It's for your own good."
