Chapter 32: Fell Sick

Day Three…

~~*****~~

The next morning, Abigail lazily got off the bed. She felt lightheaded. Dark circles could be seen under her eyes. She didn't sleep well last night, thinking about her missing bra and Butler Li's cellphone.

Her stomach also grumbled as she didn't eat dinner last night. No one provided her food as part of her punishment. They just locked her up in the guest room. Only Butler Li was the one who was generous enough to give her extra clothes.

She headed to the bathroom to freshen up. She decided to take a bath in the mansion later. Besides, Nathan mentioned that they would be coming back to the mansion this morning, or else, Little Ethan would create another ruckus at home.

A few minutes later, she came out of the bathroom feeling refreshed. She combed her hair and dolled herself up to look good. She should take care of her appearance. She got a rival who was also trying to win Nathan's affection– Dr. Veronica.

"Where is Bam-Bam? That flying creature has disappeared again. I was in trouble yesterday, yet he didn't even show himself to me. Don't tell me he is hiding from me."

Abigail folded her hand into a fist, imagining that she was squeezing that fluffy mythical creature in her hand. It was his idea to cook for Nathan. If not for his suggestion, she wouldn't be in this predicament.

Knock! Knock!

The knocking sound outside the door snapped her out of her deep thoughts. With slow and small strides, Abigail went to open the door. And she was greeted by Nathan's gorgeous face.

Abigail was put in a daze, just staring at Nathan's features. He was getting more handsome each day. She also smelled that familiar masculine scent that was so pleasant in her nose.

"Let's go," he simply said, motioning her to follow him. But even before he could take another step, Abigail reached for his arm, gripping his elbow.

Nathan knitted his brow and asked her, "What?"

But Abigail suddenly pulled him for support and groaned. "Aww."

Abigail suddenly writhed as she felt a throbbing pain in her stomach. Her left hand was pressed on her tummy while the other one was gripping Nathan's elbow tightly.

'Damn, this body is so weak and vulnerable!' She complained. The actress Abigail has a gastric ulcer so it was not advisable for her to skip a meal.

Seeing her in pain, Nathan subconsciously held her body, supporting her. He was almost hugging her. "What's wrong?" He asked in his neutral tone.

Abigail raised her head, looking at him with her teary eyes. She thought she could endure the pain but she couldn't.

"My tummy hurts," she complained to him, further leaning into his body to seek comfort.

Nathan contemplated for a moment. But when another groan escaped her mouth, he was forced to move. Scooping her in his arms, Nathan lifted her in a bridal-style carry.

The two guards, who were standing outside the room, were shocked beyond belief when they witnessed that scene. They never expected that their Big Boss would carry that woman by himself.

The two guards exchanged glances at each other, asking themselves, 'Is it okay to let the Boss carry her?' They thought they should be the one doing that. Dr. Veronica would scold them big time once she learned about this.

However, before they could ask their Big Boss to let them carry Abigail, Nathan already moved with large strides, heading to the ward. Fortunately, this was a medical facility. There were doctors and nurses available to check on Abigail.

Meanwhile, Veronica and Axel were talking in the hallway when Nathan, who was carrying Abigail, passed by. Veronica and Axel were stunned for a moment, their eyes following Nathan's movement. He was rushing to the ward.

Veronica stopped one guard who was escorting Nathan. "What happened?"

"I think something is wrong with her. She was in pain and collapsed in Master's arms," the guard replied anxiously.

Veronica cursed inwardly. Both Axel and Veronica ran to follow Nathan and Abigail. The doctor and nurses who happened to see Nathan and Abigail immediately welcomed them, guiding them to the vacant sickbed.

Nathan put her down and ordered the doctor and nurses to examine Abigail and relieve her from her pain. They moved fast, tending to Abigail's need as they were afraid to disappoint their Big Boss.

"Nathan, what happened?" Veronica asked him inquisitively as soon as she arrived. Then she glanced at Abigail with annoyance. 'She might be faking it.'

Nathan didn't say a word. He just watched Veronica and Axel with a dark expression on his face. While he was on the way to the ward a while ago, Abigail told him the cause of her abdominal pain.

"You locked her up last night?" Nathan asked them sternly.

Axel could feel that Nathan was furious. He wondered if he did something wrong.

"Y-Yes, Master," Axel responded anxiously.

"Without giving her food?" Nathan lifted his eyebrow.

Axel could feel the chill running down his spine. He could only bob his head as a response.

"I'm the one who ordered them to do so," Veronica finally spoke up. "She is an outsider so we have to lock her up. Besides, she deserved it. She's the reason why you got sick. What's wrong with not giving her a meal? It's her punishment."

Nathan became more enraged when he heard that. His son would be upset once he learned that something bad happened to Abigail.

"Who gave you the right to impose punishment on my behalf? As far as I could remember, the only role I gave you is to manage this facility."

Veronica was at a loss for words when she heard those harsh words from Nathan. Bitterness surged up in her heart. How could he treat her like that just because of this woman? She's the sister of his beloved woman. How could he side with Abigail, instead of her?

'I did it for his sake. Why couldn't he understand my good intentions?' Veronica clenched her fists, glancing at Abigail with her bloodshot eyes. She was fuming in rage right now.

Then Nathan turned to Axel. "Why did you allow this to happen? You are aware that she has an ulcer. Have you forgotten that you were the one who did a background check on her?"

Axel bit his lips, feeling so guilty. "I'm sorry, Master… It's a great mistake on my part."

Nathan rubbed the space in between his eyebrows and said, "If words about this reach Ethan, then you deal with Ethan yourself."

Axel's jaw dropped, his face stricken with panic. 'Master, please no! Have mercy on me.'

Chapter 33: Kiss Marks

Day Three…

~~*****~~

Axel regretted his actions. He knew he would be in trouble once Little Young Master Ethan found out that Abigail fell ill because of his negligence.

Ethan could be both a little angel and a little devil, depending on the situation. But one thing was for sure… no one could afford to anger and offend Little Ethan. Making him upset was like upsetting Nathan and Old Man Xu– combined!

'I shouldn't have listened to Dr. Veronica,' Axel thought to himself, biting his lower lip.

Meanwhile, Veronica just stood there, unmoving. She became silent after getting embarrassed in front of other doctors and nurses when Nathan reprimanded her.

She was always acting prideful in front of her colleagues and subordinates as if she was Nathan's woman, the future lady of the house. She made them believe that she was special to Nathan and she was very close to his heart.

And now, she got humiliated because of this woman, named Abigail. Aside from being young and beautiful, Veronica couldn't find anything that could make this woman stand out. So she wondered why Nathan was paying more attention to her.

The ward was engulfed in heavy tension. The doctor and the nurses who were treating and examining Abigail couldn't help but feel anxious and uneasy to be put under Nathan's and Veronica's watch. Their overbearing presence could intimidate everyone inside that room, except for Abigail.

Abigail just rejoiced inwardly after hearing Nathan talk harshly at Veronica. His words were like a slap on her face. She deserved it for acting like the Queen, coveting Nathan as her husband.

'That's Karma, Bitch! Haha.'

Abigail was relieved in her pain and at the same time, she had witnessed a beautiful face-slapping scene wherein Nathan and Veronica were the actor and the actress.

"I think she's fine now. She can already smile," Nathan's deep voice was heard, breaking the silence.

"Cough! Cough!" Abigail cleared her throat, looking away to feign innocence. She didn't know if Nathan was being sarcastic or not when he said those words.

'Damn! He caught me smiling. I knew it. His eyes are as sharp as the Eagle's eyes.'

The doctor was still prescribing medicine for Abigail when the nurse from the other ward came rushing inside.

"Doc Veronica! Doc Veronica!" She was calling her name with so much urgency in her voice.

Everyone's attention shifted to the nurse who suddenly barged into Abigail's ward. What was happening? The nurse was even panting and beads of sweat could be seen on her face. If Abigail's guess was right, the nurse ran a few meters just to get there. And she was in a rush!

An Emergency?!

"What is it, Nurse Jade?" Veronica asked her.

"The VIP Patient…" the nurse hadn't finished her sentence yet when Nathan dashed outside. He didn't look back. He left the room in a flash like lightning!

Axel and Veronica also followed him immediately, not waiting for the nurse to say another word.

"VIP patient? Perhaps…" Abigail's eyes widened as she realized something. She had a nagging feeling that the VIP Patient the nurse was referring to was her– Phantomflake!

She was also confined in that medical facility. And she was still in a coma. What happened to her? Did her condition worsen? She had to find out.

Ignoring the fact that she was also a patient there, Abigail got off her sickbed to follow Nathan and others. This was her chance to see her original body and find out her health status.

The doctor and the nurses tried to stop her from leaving her ward but Abigail threatened her.

"Don't you dare stop me, otherwise, I will inform your Little Young Master Ethan, how you bullied me here."

At the mention of Ethan's name, the doctor and the nurses automatically stepped back, clearing the path for Abigail.

She didn't waste any more time and she ran as fast as she could to catch up with them. When she reached the entrance door of the VIP Ward, a male doctor was already explaining something to Nathan. Axel and Veronica were standing at his sides.

"After a long time, the patient finally showed signs of brain activity. As you can see, last night, we recorded that there was a change in her brainwaves." The doctor was showing Phantomflake's chart to Nathan, a record of her brainwaves activity.

"This means… there is an improvement in her brain activity. And there is a possibility that she can wake up."

"How much longer will it take?" Nathan asked the doctor eagerly.

"It's hard to tell. As of now, all we can do is wait and continue monitoring her condition. We will have to see how her brainwaves improve." The doctor explained further to Nathan.

"What caused the change in her brainwaves?" Nathan continued asking him questions.

The doctor shook his head and said, "The medical field couldn't provide an exact explanation for this. But other researchers called this as Happy Hormones."

"This is not a medical explanation but it's a theory that positive brain stimulation helps the patient." The doctor added.

Abigail, who was listening from the entrance door, gasped, covering her mouth. Her eyes widened in disbelief.

'Happy Hormones???'

Then a memory of last night's intimate moment with Nathan suddenly flashed in her mind. 'No Way!' She shook her head, disregarding the idea.

Meanwhile, Nathan could only clench his fists as he listened to the doctor's explanation. He couldn't wait for this woman to wake up. He wouldn't be able to settle his grudge and resentment if she would never woke up from this coma.

The doctor had another thing to say to Nathan and Veronica but he hesitated for a moment. A strange phenomenon that he couldn't explain in medical terms also happened to Phantomflake's body.

"Doc Veronica and Master Nathan, don't be shocked but you have to see this." After saying that, the doctor motioned the nurse to let them see Phantomflake's skin.

The standby nurse anxiously reached out to Phantomflake's patient gown. She tugged her collar down, enough for Nathan and Veronica to see the red marks on her neck.

Veronica: "..."

Abigail: "..."

Nathan was baffled for a moment. As adults, those marks were familiar to them. They looked like love bites!

"Are those kiss marks?" Veronica blurted out in puzzlement.

"Who did this to her?" Nathan suddenly questioned them with his usual icy tone. He looked at the male doctor, giving him a deathly glare while eyeing him suspiciously.

The male doctor immediately waved his hands, shaking his head frantically. "Master, we don't know. Those marks just suddenly appeared this morning."

'Sh*t! Fool! It's you! You damn pervert devil!' Abigail screamed in her mind.
