Day Eighty-Two…

~~*****~~

[ Country J: Sakura District Hospital… ]

Nathan would be returning to Country M today as he needed to take care of his father and monitor his condition. He heard an update from Butler Li that the old man hadn't regained consciousness yet even though his test results were all normal.

Before flying back to Country M, Nathan dropped by the hospital to say goodbye to Jane and his son, Ethan.

"Are you leaving today?" Jane asked Nathan. There was a hint of disappointment in her voice. She didn't want to be apart from him.

"Yes. My father's condition didn't improve."

Jane just nodded. Nathan noticed the sad look in her eyes. To cheer her up, Nathan pulled her into a warm hug and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"I'm going to miss you. I'll wait for you in Country M," Nathan softly mumbled, tightening his grip on her body. "Jane…"

"Yes, Nate?"

Natham broke the hug to look at her. Then he cupped her face using both hands as he caressed her cheeks.

"Thank you for fighting for me. I'm so happy that your father has already accepted our relationship. We've cleared the misunderstandings."

Jane put on a faint smile, also reaching out to touch Nathan's face, her eyes filled with love.

"I'm also glad. My father will no longer forceto marry Tatsumi. And he will not restrictfrom seeing you. We've been through a lot. We wasted so much tbecause of Vincent and Monica's deception. If we could only turn back time… we could avoid these conflicts and misunderstandings…"

Hearing her words, Nathan leaned over, kissing her lips. His lips brushed her lips softly, using his tongue to lick the surface of her lips. He wanted to seize this moment because he knew he would miss her a lot.

Jane couldn't return to Country M for now since Mia was still recuperating. She still needed more days to recover completely before they could discharge her from the hospital.

Meanwhile, Jane matched the intensity of his kiss. Her tongue played with his tongue, welcoming him inside her mouth. They licked and sucked each other, tasting their sweetness. The exchange of heated kisses lasted for several minutes before they got satisfied. They panted heavily when they broke the kiss, the yearning still lingered on their eyes.

"I want to take you halready," Nathan whispered as he rested his forehead on hers.

Jane let out a soft giggle, caressing his cheeks. "I would love to…"

"I want to kiss you forever…" Nathan whispered another sweet nothings to her. "And hold you in my arms like this." He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer.

"I want to keep you company… and compensate each other for our lost times," he added meaningfully.

Jane bobbed her head in response. "I feel the sway, Nate."

"But don't be regretful… since everything happened for a reason. You have Ethan… and I have Mia." Jane emphasized that having Mia and Ethan was the most wonderful thing that happened to them despite their sufferings in the past.

"I know… but this time… I will never let you go. Jane… I lov–" Nathan's words were interrupted when someone suddenly barged into the ward.

"Jane!" Mr. Kazuki dashed inside the room the moment Nathan was about to confess his feelings for Jane, saying the three magic words "I love you!"

"Uncle Kazuki? What's wrong?" Jane asked him who looked so worried and frightened.

"I need to fly to Country M today. Something happened to Abigail. She went missing!"

The room was engulfed with silence when Mr. Kazuki shared that bad news. Both Nathan and Jane looked worriedly at him.

"What do you mean, Mr. Kazuki? How could that happen?" Nathan was the one who broke the silence. Jane was too shocked to speak up.

"Dave and Abigail were on their way hafter fitting their wedding dress and suit when they were ambushed by armed men. Dave was badly injured and was brought to the hospital… but Abigail had been kidnapped. They took her away." Jane's eyes set ablaze when she heard that. She clenched her fists tightly, seething with anger.

"How about my father? Where is he? Did he know what happened to my sister?"

Mr. Kazuki's expression turned gloomy. "Your father collapsed from shock when he heard the news. I rushed him here. The doctor is examining him now."

Jane stumbled upon hearing that. Fortunately, Nathan was there to hold her body, supporting her. She didn't know why bad things kept on happening to her– first, Mia's accident, and now, Her sister had been kidnapped and her father collapsed from shock and anger.

"I can only think of one person who would dare to do this. It's Monica," Nathan voiced his suspicion, his tone filled with conviction. Monica managed to escape from the authorities and killed the people officers who were escorting her to the prison. She was a dangerous person. She needed to be taken care of soon.

"I'll kill her." Jane muttered through clenched teeth, her resolve unwavering. "Nate, we need to find my sister immediately. I know exactly what Monica is capable of. She fights dirty, and I fear she'll stop at nothing to harm my sister. I can't bear the thought of her enduring the storment I suffered at Monica's hands."

"Nate, I'm coming with you." Jane made up her mind.

That was the tTatsumi and Hanabi entered the ward. They could sense the gloomy atmosphere inside.

"What's happening here, Dad? Why is everyone looking so serious?" Tatsumi asked them.

Nathan and Jane didn't say a word as they were trying to calm their raging emotions. They hated Monica to the core.

"The Godfather collapsed and Abigail had been kidnapped." Mr. Kazuki dropped the bomb to the two newcomers.

'Damn! I'm too late. I was supposed to protect Abigail and keep her safe.' Hanabi cursed herself inwardly. It looked like their enemy was one step ahead of them.

"Hanabi, Tatsumi… I need someone to take care of Mia and Ethan… I'm returning to Country M to find and rescue my sister." Jane asked for their help.

But Tatsumi and Hanabi wanted to join them in searching for Abigail and rescue her.

"Sis, letjoin you! Abigail is my responsibility!" Hanabi expressed her desire to accompany Jane to Country M and help her.

too. I want to help." Tatsumi butted in.

Jane darted her gaze back and forth between Tatsumi and Hanabi. "But I need someone who would take care of the kids…"

"I… I'll do it." Another person spoke up, emerging from behind. Everyone turned in the direction of that voice. They saw Speed standing at the front door of the ward.

"Please allowto take care of Mia…" Speed begged Jane. She wanted to make up for her mistake. Taking a deep sigh, Jane finally made her decision. "Tatsumi, please stay behind. I want you to look after the kids together with Speed."

Tatsumi: "..."

'Eh? Why me?' Tatsumi felt like crying.

But Jane spoke again. "Tatsumi… I'm giving you this important mission because I trust you. You will protect my daughter and Ethan…"

Tatsumi's reluctance disappeared instantly upon hearing that. "Okay, my Lady! Count on me! I will never disappoint you!"
