110 She Can't Remember
Day Eight…
~~*****~~
Chantha could no longer hide her excitement because of this revelation. She really thought Nathan and Abigail were a couple. Since she wanted to provoke and tease Veronica, Chantha called the doctor who was busy monitoring Phantomflake’s condition.
“Why did you call me at this hour?” Veronica asked Chantha, frowning deeply. They were not that close. She knew that Chantha would only call her to mess with her and ruin her mood.
Veronica considered Chantha as her rival as well since she learned that this woman tried to seduce Nathan. Ever since that day, the two continued competing with each other.
But unlike Veronica, Chantha only had a crush on Nathan. She was not serious about pursuing him because she knew she couldn’t win his heart. It was just part of her playful side when teasing and approaching Nathan every time.
As for Veronica, she took it seriously. She hated Chantha because unlike her, Chantha was so open about her feelings. She was not hiding her admiration for Nathan.
Veronica, on the other hand, could only love Nathan secretly because of her sister. She was also afraid that Nathan would reject her and won’t reciprocate her feelings.
“I have big news for you, Buddy.” Chantha let out a soft chuckle, taunting her.
“If you don’t have anything important to say then just leave me alone.” Veronica was about to hang up the phone when Chantha spoke again, stopping her from ending the call.
“It’s about our Big Boss, Nathan!”
When Nathan’s name was mentioned, Veronica suddenly got interested in what she was going to say.
“What happened to Nathan?” Veronica got worried. She had a bad feeling about this.
“Don’t worry. Nothing bad happened to him. But something so hot!” Chantha’s crisp laughter bubbled up from the other line.
Veronica was pissed off by Chantha’s taunting words. She couldn’t understand what she was trying to say.
“Can you speak clearly?! Your words don’t make sense to me!” Veronica scowled at her. She was losing her patience.
Chantha burst out into another peal of laughter. She could imagine Veronica’s angry face. She was throwing a fit already. How much more if she found out that Nathan slept with another woman?
“Okay. Fine. Brace yourself, Doctor. Keep your heart in check. You might not be able to handle this.”
“Don’t waste my time, Chantha Soeung!” Veronica said through her gritted teeth.
“Nathan slept with a mysterious woman!” She declared, informing Veronica.
“What nonsense are you spouting?! You can’t fool me.” Veronica yelled at her. She refused to believe her. Nathan hadn’t gotten over Monica yet. He would never sleep with another woman!
“Believe it or not, I’m telling the truth. You can even ask Violet, Axel, and Spider!”
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The two were still talking when Phantomflake’s monitor suddenly resounded, catching Veronica’s attention.
Veronica immediately hung up the phone and rushed to Phantomflake’s sick bed. She had another brain activity. Veronica checked her vitals.
As she was doing this, an idea popped into her mind. She wanted to confirm if Chantha was telling the truth or not. If Nathan would hear about this, she was certain that Nathan would go to the facility.
Without further ado, Veronica picked up her phone and dialed Nathan’s number. She called him three times before Nathan was able to answer the phone.
“What is it?” Nathan just finished his cold shower and got out of the bathroom when he noticed Veronica’s call.
“Nathan, where are you?” Veronica asked him anxiously. She just hoped Nathan would tell her that he was at home.
“EDSJ Five Star Hotel, why?” Nathan nonchalantly said.
Veronica fell silent when she heard that. He was in a hotel. So Chantha might not be lying to her. But Veronica still refused to believe her. She shook her head, pushing the unwanted thoughts to the back of her mind.
“Phantomflake… She shows another sign of brain activity. Her condition is improving lately. There’s a chance she will wake up soon. Come here… and see it for yourself.” Veronica used Phantomflake for Nathan to go to the facility.
Veronica was right! Nathan didn’t waste his time. He dashed out of the room, leaving Abigail. He was in a hurry to see Phantomflake.
He wanted to be there once Phantomflake would open her eyes. He didn’t want to miss this opportunity. And just like that, Nathan left the EDSJ Five Star Hotel and proceeded to the Syphiruz’s Medical Facility where Phantomflake was being treated.

Two hours later…
Abigail woke up, feeling disoriented and confused. Her mind was hazy as she couldn’t remember how she ended up sleeping inside their VIP suite.
She slowly sat up, leaning her back on the bedrest while rubbing her forehead. She felt like she had forgotten a portion of her memories.
“How did I fall asleep?” The last thing she remembered was that she was sitting on the sofa together with Nathan. She was drinking her tea while Nathan was watching TV. She couldn’t remember the next thing that happened. Her mind became hazy.
“Holy shit!” She gasped after realizing that she was half naked. Her dress was ruined again.
Her eyes scanned the room but there was no sign of Nathan.
“Nathan?” She tried calling him but she got no response.
“Where is that devil right now?” Abigail clenched her teeth, tugging the blanket to cover her exposed body.
She got off the bed and went to check the bathroom. Nathan was not there. When she went back to the main room, she found Nathan’s ripped clothes and its buttons scattered on the floor.
She picked it up with a puzzled look in her eyes. ‘Is this… Nathan’s clothes?’ Abigail’s jaw dropped, her eyes darting back and forth between Nathan’s shirt and her ruined dress.
‘Wait… did something happen between us?’
Abigail’s gaze automatically moved on her lower part. It felt strange. Did they do it or not?
‘Damn it! What did Nathan do to me?! Why can’t I remember anything!!!’
