[ At Phantomflake's Ward… ]

Stephen joined Nathan, Veronica, and Dr. Doreen, his gaze fell on Phantomflake who was still unconscious. Dr. Veronica already treated and wrapped Phantomflake's wound.

"What happened here?" Stephen asked them, catching Nathan's and Veronica's attention. Nathan frowned as he didn't expect Stephen to show up in that ward.

Meanwhile, Veronica explained everything to Stephen. The strange phenomenon also surprised Stephen. This was the first time he encountered this. A coma patient suddenly got cut and bled for an unknown reason.

"Did you use any drugs that can cause allergic reactions?" Stephen asked them, his expression turning serious.

"No. I didn't," Dr. Doreen promptly responded.

"Did someone hurt her secretly?" Another follow-up question from Stephen.

"No one. You can even check the surveillance records," Dr. Doreen replied with conviction. She didn't want to hear that she and her staff were being accused of hurting a coma patient.

Nathan held Stephen's shoulder, his eyes signaling him to stop talking already. He already checked the recordings so he could tell that there was no foul play on this.

"I'm sorry… I didn't mean to accuse anyone…" Stephen apologized as he looked down. He got carried away by his emotions. He had to stay calm and act normal in front of them.

"It's fine… Even we couldn't explain this phenomenon. But rest assured, we will conduct a full body examination. I will do my best to find out what caused her flesh to be cut and suddenly bled." Dr. Doreen reassured them.

Nathan just nodded his head. Then he motioned Stephen to follow him outside. The two men were about to leave when Veronica stopped them.

"Nate, you should go back to your ward. Stay here until you recover," Veronica suggested to him. "Stephen, please convince your best friend." She turned to Stephen, asking for his help.

"No need. I'm going to stay in the hotel. Just finish examining her. If we can't get any significant result, we are going back to Country M in three days." Nathan's decision was firm. He didn't allow Veronica to object.

Country F was not his turf. It was better to return home as soon as possible. He and Abigail were both targeted there.

Speaking of Abigail, Nathan remembered that she went out. "Did you see Abigail before coming here?" He asked Stephen.

"Yes. She is standing outside the door, waiting for you," Stephen responded.

A cold glint flashed through Veronica's eyes at the mention of Abigail's name. She clenched her fists, thinking that she was squeezing Abigail in her hands. 'Why don't you just disappear, Abigail Scarlett?' She gritted her teeth.

Meanwhile, Nathan and Stephen finally left Phantomflake's ward, only to find out that Abigail was no longer outside.

"Where is she?" Nathan asked Stephen again with a deep crease on his forehead.

Stephen shrugged his shoulders and shook his head. He didn't know where she went. Just a while ago, she was just standing there.

Seeing Stephen's clueless expression, Nathan immediately called his men to find Abigail.

"Why don't we check the CCTV recordings," Stephen suggested. He was assessing Nathan's reaction. In fact, Stephen couldn't believe that Nathan was worrying about Abigail.

Without further ado, Nathan and Stephen went to see the CCTV recordings. The two asked the head of staff in the CCTV control room to let them see the recordings.

The two spent their time reviewing and rechecking the records, searching for Abigail. After a while, they finally spotted Abigail. They saw her leaving the ward when Stephen entered.

They followed her next movement. She called someone. Then when she reached the lobby, she waited for several minutes before a car stopped at the entrance of the hospital.

p The two men were surprised when they recognized the person driving the car.

"Aiden?" Stephen blurted out in disbelief.

Nathan just remained silent, but his expression already turned dark.

"Should I call them?" Stephen asked, picking up his phone from his pocket. But Nathan just told him, "No need. Let's just go back to the hotel." A chilly aura was surrounding him. He seemed mad about something.

Stephen just nodded his head, following Nathan's behind. But before he left the control, he thanked the staff for their help and cooperation.

[ At Crimson Hotel… ]

Kathleen was already done changing her clothes. She took a shower and requested Jack to buy her a new set of clothes. Jack was planning to do his mission and monitor Nathan's movement, however, he couldn't leave just yet as there was a woman pestering him right now.

"Send me to this address, please," Kathleen begged, anchoring her arms around Jack's elbows.

"Can't you ride a taxi cab? I will be late with my appointment," Jack said helplessly. As much as he wanted to send her off, he had to leave now, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to report anything to their Dragon Lord.

He already skipped his mission last night because of Kathleen. If Dragon Lord found out, he might think that he was slacking off. The Dragon Lord would punish him for sure if he couldn't accomplish his mission properly!

"Please! Send me back to my hotel… I don't want to ride a taxi…" Kathleen put on a pitiful face, trying to convince him.

"Sigh. Alright! Let's go!" Jack finally gave in. He couldn't say no to Kathleen especially if she was using her charm in convincing him.

"Thank you! You are so nice!" Kathleen tugged his arm as she expressed her gratitude. She was glad that Jack was a true gentleman.

But unknown to her, this gentleman in front of her, was a dangerous person. He was a professional hitman. He didn't have mercy on his target. And he already killed a lot of people.

Jack guided Kathleen to his car, opening the car door for her. She cheerfully hopped in the front passenger seat and sat down comfortably.

Jack could only shake his head. This woman was in her cheerful mood now, unlike last night. He could still remember how Kathleen cried a river of tears because of a man.

'I bet she couldn't remember it. It's best not to mention anything to her otherwise she will be reminded of her heartbreak.' Jack thought to himself, being considerate of her.

After twenty minutes, they reached the Ramenx Crowne Hotel. In there, Jack was surprised to see his target, Nathan Sparks!

'Oh… so he got discharged from the hospital today. Does it mean… he is staying here with the same hotel as her?'
