Day Eighty-Eight…
Monica's chilling words resounded in Jane's ears. Her breath caught in her throat, her heart beating rapidly from both fear and anxiety.
'What did she an by choosing between Nathan and Ethan?' Jane thought to herself frantically. Her eyes darted back and forth between the two monitor screens.
"n, it's ti for a great show!" Monica clapped her hands, catching the attention of everyone. Her sinister laughter echoed in the room.
Jane braced herself for what was going to happen, her eyes fixated on the monitor screens. It did not take long before two people in a lab gown entered each room where Nathan and Ethan were being detained. They looked like a dical staff.
"What are you going to do with them?" Jane asked Monica, her pulse quickening at the horrific possibility. The idea that she might have to sacrifice one for the other churned her stomach.
"Oh, Calm down, Honey. Let explain the rules to you first." Monica sneered at her.
"You see the briefcase they are holding?" Monica pointed her finger at the screen.
Jane narrowed her eyes as she gritted her teeth.
"They are holding a newly developed deadly poison. I rember asking my sister Veronica to do an experint for , making a weapon that I could use to kill you. But since my sister had betrayed , I hired another biochemist to upgrade the formula of my sister's experint. And this is the result." Monica proudly presented to them. Even Nathan and Ethan were listening to her.
"This is more lethal than the poison I used to kill Helena's father," Monica added, confessing to them that she was the one who killed Helena's father, Maximilian Carlsen.
"You killed him with a poison. It's not cardiac arrest!" Nathan frowned. His father also ntioned the possibility of foul play for Maximilian's death. So it was indeed Monica who killed him.
Jane realized that Monica was a psychopath. She didn't hesitate to kill anyone even if that person was their ally.
"You are a murderer," Nathan said through his gritted teeth. His concern for Jane and Ethan's safety intensified further.
"Don't bla . Maximilian betrayed us first for joining hands with your father." Monica revealed the reason why she killed him. "Anyway, That's in the past. I think you should be more concerned about what I'm going to do next."
Monica let out another sarcastic laugh.
"Back to our topic. Again, this is a ga of Choice. I will let Phantomflake choose who she wants to save between the father and son. The dical staff there will inject the poison. And I will give her one antidote."
"Yes. You hear ! One antidote only. I wonder whom she will choose to save since she loves both of you. Hahaha! Oh, for everyone's information, I only asked the Biochemist to produce only one antidote to this poison.
So even if Phantomflake begs to save both of you in exchange for her life, I won't be able to do that. Haha! I am solely giving her a choice to save one person."
Monica enjoyed seeing the panic-stricken expression plastered on Jane's face. This was very satisfactory. She could tell that the weight of her words pressed down on Jane since she was being forced to choose between the man she loved and her own son.
"No…" Jane suddenly scread, clenching her fists tightly. She shook her head vehently, her eyes pleading with Monica to stop this.
"Just kill , Monica! Just kill ! Please don't hurt them. Let them go!" Jane could feel her helplessness at this mont. Even if she could escape from her handcuffs, there was no way she could save both Ethan and Nathan knowing that there was only one antidote available.
"Don't worry, Phantomflake. Though this poison is lethal, they won't suffer the pain. If not given antidotes within five minutes, their hearts will just stop beating. So… you only have five minutes to say goodbye to either both of them. So choose wisely and seize their remaining ti with you."
"So this is a goodbye for now. Enjoy your family reunion. I will just watch the lo drama in my own room." Monica patted Jane's face, grinning slyly from ear to ear.
"Don't worry. I will allow you to have a proper goodbye to either one of them. I'm generous enough." After saying that Monica put the antidote inside her pocket. Then she stepped out of the room with a triumphant smile on her face.
"Monica! Nooooo! I'll kill you! I'll swear I'll kill you if you hurt them!!! Aaarrgghhhh!" Jane scread, struggling to escape from her handcuffs.
anwhile, Monica's n transferred Nathan to Ethan's room. When the two were put in one room together, the dical staff administered the poison. They prepared two syringes, each filled with a lethal poison. Without hesitation, they plunged the needles into Nathan and Ethan's arms.
After that, the n left the keys to Ethan, allowing him to remove the handcuffs of his father.
Once he was released from his bind, Nathan imdiately hugged his son to console him. "Ethan, Don't be afraid. Dad is here now."
Despite the fact a deadly poison entered their veins right now, Nathan kept his cool. He couldn't let his son see his fears and weakness. Though deep inside, he already felt helpless.
"Jane will save you." Nathan softly mumbled, stroking his hair.
But Ethan shook his head, hugging his father back. "Dad. No. Don't say that. I don't want you to die. I love you, Dad.
You should stay alive and be with Mommy Jane. I wish you to be happy."
As the father and son duo were having emotional monts, Monica's n also brought Jane to the room to reunite with Ethan and Nathan. T
The clock was ticking and Jane had to choose between the two. Jane felt a lump rise in her throat, her mind in a chaotic state as she watched the two. Her legs wobbled, nearly giving out beneath her as her mind raced through the possibility of losing her loved ones.
"Mommy Jane!" Ethan imdiately ran in her direction, holding the key. He also removed Jane's handcuffs.
Jane could no longer bear it. She dropped to her knees and hugged her son. "Ethan! My son." Her tears started to flow down her cheeks. Her tears were like raindrops pouring out of the corners of her eyes.
She finally learned the truth that Ethan was her biological son. However, she couldn't rejoice since both Ethan and Nathan were still in danger. She only had one antidote and Monica warned her that even if she split the serum, it wouldn't save anyone. One person should consu the whole serum in order to be saved!
"Mommy, don't worry about . You have to save my, Daddy. Please." Ethan started to convince Jane.
"No, Ethan! I will not accept it," Nathan protested firmly as he joined them.
"Mommy. Daddy. I know you've been through a lot in the past. You both deserve to be happy. You and Mommy love each other. I am your witness for your true love.
Even if I die today, it's fine because I know I will remain in your hearts." Ethan pressed his small hands against Nathan and Jane's chest.
"Mommy Jane. I know you love . And you love my daddy. Before you chose over him. But this ti, I want you to choose him and save him. You can replace … you can produce another baby." Ethan continued convincing the two as he wanted to save Nathan.
"Besides, I'm not your biological son." Ethan lowered his gaze when he said those words. He was also hurting but he tried to conceal it from them.
Jane's heart was being squeezed right now. She felt like her world was about to end right at this mont.
She cupped Ethan's small face and looked at him. "Ethan, don't say that. I just learned the truth today. You are my biological son. You are my missing son. Nathan is your father.
And I'm your mother… your biological mother."
Both Nathan and Ethan were shocked upon hearing that revelation.
"Mommy? Is that true?" Ethan asked her expectantly.
Still shedding tears, Jane smiled and nodded her head. "Yes. Swear to God. I'm your biological mother. Monica stole you from after giving birth to you."
