Day Thirty-Two…
~~*****~~
Cherry was still overwheld since she finally got to see Phantomflake after two years. Nothing changed in her appearance. She was glad that the Syphiruz Mafia kept her alive. Abigail already explained to Cherry the current condition of Phantomflake.
She has been in a coma for two years now. The Supre Leader of the Syphiruz Mafia didn't harm her. Instead, he made sure that Phantomflake would be taken care of by the doctors and nurses of their dical Facility.
"What's wrong with her? Why is it her right hand wrapped in a bandage?" Cherry was going to check Phantomflake's body but Abigail stopped her. She didn't want Cherry to worry. Just like Abigail, Phantomflake received the sa injury when she was shot by the three bullets.
"The doctor advised us not to touch the covered areas of her body. She got so allergic reactions from her previous dicines given by the Red Dragon Mafia," Abigail said as an alibi, blaming the Red Dragon Mafia. Besides, it was true that the Red Dragon Mafia was the main reason she got hurt.
Cherry didn't ask further. She just obediently nodded her head, retreating her hand. She moved it on Phantomflake's hand, squeezing her palm. She felt so warm.
"Thank you, Miss Abi. Because of you, I was reunited with Sis Phantom!" A grateful look flashed through her eyes as she glanced at Abigail.
"It's my pleasure. I promised her… I will protect you. So please, make up your mind now. Work for Nathan Sparks. Phantomflake is now under his protection. I guarantee you. He will do everything just to cure her." Abigail began to convince Cherry.
"Alright. I agree. I will work for Nathan Sparks… as long as he will allow to take good care of Sis Phantom." There was excitent in her voice when she said those words. She didn't want to leave Phantomflake's side.
Abigail just giggled. She could see how happy Cherry was at this mont. "Yes. Don't worry. Nathan will surely agree."
"By the way, Miss Abi… Does Nathan know that she is an assassin?" For a mont, Cherry was scared that Nathan would hand them over to the police. He just sent her to prison yesterday. What if he would do it again? And this ti, Phantomflake might also get involved.
Abigail let out another soft giggle. She walked closer to Cherry and patted her back. "Don't overthink. As long as I'm here, Nathan will not lay a finger on either one of you." There was a hint of reassurance in her every word.
"Whoa… Miss Abi… can you tell honestly… Are you and Boss Nathan in a relationship? Did he confess to you already?"
"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Abigail choked the mont she heard Cherry's last remarks.
"Hey, are you okay?" Cherry asked her innocently. But her lips curled up into a teasing smile when they t each other's gaze.
Abigail didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Between us, I should be the one confessing to him. I am the one who is chasing after his affection. Not the other way around." Abigail corrected Cherry's wrong assumption. "We are not in a relationship yet."
"Yes… Not yet. But I feel like the two of you are attracted to each other. He was so worried about you when you got hurt." Cherry nudged Abigail's shoulder as she kept teasing her.
Abigail just raised her eyebrow and said, "We are still far from your expectation. Hmm. But I will work hard! I only have 68 Days left before my mission ends."
"Huh? 68 Days left? What mission?" Abigail had a slip of a tongue so Cherry heard her.
Abigail cursed herself inwardly. She didn't an to say those words. She smiled at her sheepishly and ca up with a good alibi. "Hmm. Oh, it's nothing. It's my personal goal. I put a tifra so that I can monitor my progress."
"What goal?" Cherry asked her again. She was curious about Abigail's mission.
"Hmm. My goal is to make Nathan Sparks fall for ," Abigail could no longer stand lying to Black Rose. She already lied several tis for Cherry's sake. This ti she wanted to share this with her, though she would have to omit so details.
'I can't tell her that I'm Phantomflake and I'm on a mission of making Nathan fall for . And if I fail… death will be my punishnt. Sigh. I feel like I am a terminally ill patient, waiting for my death to co.'
Abigail was looking troubled and problematic when Cherry's laughter echoed inside the ward. She didn't expect Abigail was very passionate once in love. She was bold enough to woo a guy. Well, she couldn't bla her. Nathan Sparks was so handso.
"So your type is a devilish beauty. He suits your taste. You are very fierce. I hope both of you will end up together." Cherry rubbed her palm together as if she was wishing in front of a shooting star.
Abigail could only smile. She didn't want to deny it. Nathan was indeed her type. He was so smart, gorgeous, and hot. The only disappointnt she had for him was that… Nathan couldn't distinguish who was the real Shining Star.
"Sigh. He is dumb and foolish sotis," Abigail lanted, heaving a deep sigh.
"Haha! Why?" Cherry watched Abigail in amusent. She couldn't believe that this woman had the guts to call Nathan Sparks dumb and foolish.
"Because I think… he fell for the wrong woman!" Abigail stated matter-of-factly. Deep inside her heart, she wondered if she had t him before Monica did, would Nathan fall for her as well?
Abigail tried to assess her inner feelings. Would she fall for Nathan? Would she give herself a chance to be with a guy like him? Falling in love with soone didn't cross her mind before. But now, she couldn't help but marvel… 'If I t him sooner, could we end up being together, and… Ethan could be our son…'
Abigail's cheeks were burned in embarrassnt because of her wishful thinking. She imdiately shook her head and pushed the thoughts to the back of her mind. 'Damn! What am I thinking? This is so embarrassing! Clear your mind, Phantomflake!'
