100 Days to Seduce the Devil



Day Fifty-Four…

~~*****~~

Mr. Hiroshi didn't leave Jane's side for the whole day. The two bonded together, compensating for the time they missed each other. Meanwhile, Nathan left them and went to the medical facility to visit Abigail.

Nathan couldn't hide his sadness whenever he would look at the unconscious Abigail. He already missed her. Just a few weeks ago, this woman was full of life. She kept bugging him as she declared that she was going to seduce him.

And now that she succeeded, here she was, lying unconscious on the sick bed. Nathan could only smile bitterly. Every woman he loved always met a mishap. He felt so miserable, watching Abigail in this current state.

"Wake up, Abi… Ethan and I will be happy to see you. This time… I promise… I'll be good to you. I'll compensate you for the coldness I showed you before. Just wake up, Abi. I don't know what to do anymore…" Nathan spoke to her as if Abigail was listening to him.

He held her arm. His injuries were healing, but his heart was still in pain. He wished he was the one who was badly hurt, instead of Abigail.

"Honestly, I'm having a hard time right now. Things are becoming more complicated as I discovered some truths in the past. My enemy is the friend whom I used to know. And the woman I loved deceived me and pretended to be someone she's not."

"I don't know anymore to whom should I vent my anger and resentment." Nathan tightened his grip on Abigail's hand and brought it to his lips. He planted a soft kiss on the back of her palm as he continued watching her.

"You are close to Shining Star…but who among them? Monica or Phantomflake…" Nathan recalled that Abigail mentioned that she and Shining Star were friends. "You are also connected to Phantomflake… because she is your mentor. If you are awake… will you also ask me to spare her life?"

"I don't care if you will request such a thing… as long as you wake up, Abi. Please come back to us," Nathan begged.

Nathan was still talking to Abigail when someone knocked on the door. It turned out that the newcomer was none other than Veronica.

A cold glint flashed through her eyes upon seeing Nathan's worried expression. He was even holding and kissing Abigail's hand. She was jealous.

'I hope she dies soon!' Veronica thought to herself.

"What are you doing here?" Nathan was not happy to see Veronica. He knew that this woman hated Abigail. "You can't be here. I already assigned you to a different facility." Nathan couldn't trust Veronica anymore. She tried to seduce him with an aphrodisiac.

"I'm just worried about you. Can't I see you? Before you met my sister, I'd been serving you already. I am the one who is always with you. Why can't you appreciate all that I've done for you?" Veronica started sharing her sentiments once more. She couldn't accept that Nathan would choose Abigail, instead of her.

"Your sister… deceived me. Did the two of you connive with each other?" Nathan asked her with a cold tone.

Veronica was taken aback when she heard that. She was surprised to see the disappointed look in Nathan's eyes when mentioning Monica.

'He is angry at my sister… for the first time?' Veronica didn't comprehend what was going on.

"What do you mean by that?" Veronica was clueless.

"Forget it." Nathan could tell that Veronica knew nothing based on her expression. "Just leave me alone. I don't want you here."

Veronica could only clench her fists, her heart filled with bitterness as she took one last glance at Nathan and Abigail. 'Nathan, don't force me to hurt you. You have to choose me, otherwise, all the women whom you will love will die in my own hands. Since I can't have your heart, then I'm going to crush it by eliminating them… Abigail won't survive this. I'll make sure of it!'

Veronica was not yet done with her evil scheme. She won't give up on Nathan easily. She was so obsessed with him!

Just when Veronica left, Madam Priyanshi arrived at the facility to visit her niece. Until now, Old Master Yan had no idea of what happened to Abigail. The old man had been looking for Abigail and Madam Priyanshi didn't know what kind of excuse she would tell him.

They didn't want the old man to get shocked. His heart was weak and his body was frail. He was still undergoing a new medication. They couldn't afford to let him know about the piece of bad news. She was here to seek Nathan's advice.

"Nathan, how is she? Is there improvement? When is she going to wake up? I don't know how long I can hide this from my father. Sooner or later, he will look for her. He is dying to see his granddaughter." Madam Priyanshi expressed her concern with Nathan.

"I'm afraid, my brother will not be able to handle this situation and his condition will worsen further," she added.

Nathan could understand Madam Priyanshi. Even he himself was having a hard time, how much more the old man? He won't be able to accept this.

"Let's buy us some more time. Just tell him that Abigail went overseas for a movie project. She is busy with work. She is not allowed to contact anyone while taping." Nathan could only come up with this alibi.

Madam Priyanshi could only sigh deeply. "Yeah. I'll try this. I hope my father will stop bugging me. But I can understand him. We just found Abigail. My father wants to spend more time with her."

"Don't worry, Madam Priyanshi. I am doing what I can so that we can cure Abigail." Nathan reassured her.

Madam Priyanshi bobbed her head. She trusted him. She could see that Abigail was very important to Nathan… and that he loved her.

"I'm leaving her in your care… Please., save my niece, Mr. Sparks."

"Nathan!" Jane called him.

The two were interrupted when someone spoke from behind. It was Jane. Mr. Hiroshi and Jane decided to see and visit Abigail together. But they didn't expect that there was another visitor, Madam Priyanshi of the Yan family.

Madam Priyanshi was shocked beyond belief upon seeing Mr. Hiroshi and Jane together.

"Alyssa?" She blurted out in confusion. The woman standing next to Mr. Hiroshi had a strong resemblance to her late sister, Alyssa.

Madam Priyanshi darted her gaze back and forth between Mr. Hiroshi and Jane. Even Mr. Hiroshi didn't expect to see Madam Priyanshi. He knew her. She was Alyssa's sister.

"What are you doing here?" Mr. Hiroshi asked her.

Jane was also confused because Madam Priyanshi called her Alyssa. Meanwhile, Nathan also didn't expect this sudden encounter. He thought that Mr. Hiroshi and Madam Priyanshi were just business partners. Mr. Hiroshi stayed in the hotel owned and managed by Madam Priyanshi a few weeks ago.

Madam Priyanshi ignored Mr. Hiroshi's question. Instead, she approached Jane, walking closer to her as she closed their gaps.

"Who is she?" Madam Priyanshi grabbed Jane's shoulder with complicated emotions on her face.

"My daughter… Jane," Mr. Hiroshi replied making Madam Priyanshi gasped in surprise. 

"She's… alive?"

Nathan and Jane were both puzzled by Madam Priyanshi's reaction.
