100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 239 – Interesting Truth About Abigail

Day Twenty Six…

~~*****~~

Eighteen hours after Abigail’s operation, she still remained unconscious. She was already transferred to the Towerville City Hospital. Her condition was already stable.

Three bullets were taken out of her body– one bullet from her right shoulder, one from her back just above her right ribs, and one from her stomach. Fortunately, no internal organs were damaged or hit by the bullet. Abigail could still be considered ‘Lucky’.

Aiden was the one who processed the documents for Abigail’s transfer. He made sure to choose the VIP ward for her though Nathan didn’t order it.

Stephen drove Nathan home last night as he needed to rest both physically and mentally. Aiden and Cherry stayed in the hospital, watching over Abigail. They were waiting for her to wake up. But the doctor said she might wake up after Twenty Two hours.

While Aiden and Cherry were having breakfast outside, Bam-Bam showed up in her VIP Ward.

“Master!!! I just disappeared to find your body and now this happened to you!” Bam-Bam exclaimed exasperatedly as he landed on the sickbed, bouncing on the cushion near Abigail’s head.

He was invisible and only Abigail could see Bam-Bam. But Abigail was still unconscious. To find out what happened to Abigail, Bam-Bam put his paw on Abigail’s forehead and tried to scan her memory.

Through this, Bam-Bam could see what transpired yesterday and how Abigail ended up in this situation.

“Uh-oh, it looks like my Master got in trouble. She was too reckless for saying those words. Nathan overheard them. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. She should have been more careful with her words.” Bam-Bam clicked his tongue while shaking his head.

“Don’t tell me Nathan was the one who shot her?” Bam-Bam assumed as he could see how furious Nathan was.

“Black Rose is to blame. She was so stubborn and didn’t want to listen to my master… so my Master had to say those words for her to listen.” Bam-Bam kept on talking as if he was a critique of the situation.

“Oops! What a twist and turn of events! She got busted by Nathan… but she saved his ass! Now, what is going to happen after she wakes up? Will Nathan forgive her?” Bam-Bam scratched his face using his paw.

After a while, Aiden and Cherry came back to the ward. That was the time, Bam-Bam had to disappear. Besides, Abigail was still sound asleep.

On the other hand, Nathan and Stephen also dropped by the Syphiruz Mafia’s headquarters. Axel and the IT team were still tracking the culprit.

“How is the situation here?” Nathan asked Axel.

“We were able to track the location of the black sedan car. But as we expected, the car was abandoned in a remote area on the outskirts of Towerville City.

“However, the moment our men arrived, the gunman was gone. He already erased his trace. He is a professional. He even knew that we could track him and his car easily.” Axel explained.

“Don’t you have any more leads?” Stephen joined the conversation. He was hoping that Axel and his team were able to find a clue about the mastermind of this assassination attempt.

“No… but we have to consider that those people who wanted our Supreme Leader to be dead must be his business competitors. No one knew that our Supreme Leader was Nathan Sparks. His real identity was still a secret to the underworld.” Axel shared his opinion.

Nathan and Stephen fell silent for a moment. So if his enemies in the underworld didn’t know his real identity yet, then they wouldn’t send someone to kill Nathan Sparks in the broad daylight, unless, some enemies already found out who was the Supreme Leader of Syphiruz Mafia.

If this was the case, then Nathan would be in serious danger. Many more people would come after him, targeting him.

“Axel, just leave us alone. I have to talk to Nathan first,” Stephen spoke up, with a serious expression on his face.

There were lots of unanswered questions. And this time he wanted to ask Nathan about Abigail.

“Yesterday, when you stormed out of Aiden’s place while dragging Abigail… what was that all about Nathan? Why did you bring her to that remote location? Were you not thinking that both your lives are in danger? Someone is after your life… and someone was also trying to kill Abigail.”

Nathan looked down, clenching his fists. “I heard her… saying she was a member of Phantom’s Assassin Guild…”

Stephen was stunned for a moment when he heard that.

“A-Are you sure about that, Nate? Did you not mishear it?” Stephen was also surprised at the mention of Phantom’s Assassin Guild.

“I don’t know… but I heard what I heard… and those words stirred my emotions. I failed to control my rage. I didn’t expect that someone was tailing us.”

Stephen remained quiet, letting Nathan explain further.

“I think, Abigail is a spy. She approached me and Ethan for her revenge. She might be the one who leaked the information about Phantomflake’s location. She must have planned this from the very start. The people who took Phantomflake might be her people… her accomplices.” Nathan came up with this conclusion.

“But… there is no way she knew that you are the Supreme Leader of the Syphiruz. She only knows you as Nathan Sparks, the CEO of the SYP Starlight Corp.” Stephen had this doubt.

“A person who wants revenge will never sacrifice her life just to save you. Nathan, I’m not defending Abigail… but I am grateful for her… she took those bullets to protect you.”

“But what if… this was part of their schemes… she wanted me to feel indebted to her by saving me…” Nathan was still doubtful and suspicious of Abigail.

Despite her heroic act, he didn’t want to trust her as he was afraid to be betrayed once more. He hated that feeling. When he first confronted her, he was devastated, thinking Abigail deceived him.

Stephen was always suspicious of Abigail since the start… because he was protective of Nathan, his best friend. But because of this incident, he felt like he wanted to trust Abigail because she saved Nathan. Stephen wanted to give Abigail a chance… a benefit of the doubt!

“But you were the one who chose to go to that remote area. You forced Abigail to go to that place. How could you say that it was pre-planned by them?”

Nathan rubbed his temples and said, “I don’t know what to think anymore. My mind is in a mess. I don’t know what should I believe in.”

Stephen took a deep sigh and approached Nathan. He held his shoulder and tapped his back. “I understand… but listen to your heart… what does it tell you at this moment? Does your heart want to believe her or not?”

Nathan was not able to answer that question. He knew the answer but he wanted to deny it.

“Let me think it through…” Nathan simply mumbled, wanting to end this conversation.

And just right in time, Joker entered the room. “Supreme Leader… I’m finally done with the task you gave me last time. I completed my investigation with Abigail Scarlett. And I found out a very interesting truth about her.”

Nathan and Stephen exchanged glances with one another after hearing that. Now, they were going to see and learn more about Abigail Scarlett.
