100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 432 I Saw Them With My Own Eyes

?

Day Fifty…

~~*****~~

As per the command of Phantomflake, Cherry immediately searched for Stephen although she didn't know what happened to Jane. Was she imagining things? Perhaps, an illusion? But how come Phantomflake knew about Stephen, Nathan, and Abigail?

Despite this confusion, Cherry was someone who would listen and obey Phantomflake's order. Furthermore, she could hear the urgency in her voice. She sounded like it was a matter of life or death situation.

"Have you seen Stephen?" Cherry asked the nurse she bumped into the hallway.

"Doc Stephen is in his study," the nurse replied.

"Go and check, Jane. She woke up! I will call Doc Stephen," Cherry informed the nurse so that she could monitor Phantomflake's condition. She was alone in her room.

The nurse was surprised because the coma patient finally woke up. She quickly proceeded to Phantomflake's room.

Meanwhile, Cherry headed to Stephen's study room. 

Cherry barged inside the room without knocking. Stephen was reading some documents when he was interrupted by Cherry's sudden intrusion.

"Is there something wrong, Che?" Stephen asked her in puzzlement. He put down the files as he looked at her, observing her expression.

"Stephen… We need to find Nathan and Abigail! They are in danger!" 

Stephen frowned when he heard that. "Why? What's wrong?"

"I don't know the complete details… but I received a tip that they were in Caceres Hills… and they need to be rescued." Cherry avoided mentioning Phantomflake's name. She was afraid Stephen wouldn't listen to her if she would tell him that the information came from Phantomflake. Even she, herself, couldn't understand how a coma patient learned about the danger Nathan and Abigail were facing.

Stephen fell silent for a moment, assessing Cherry's facial expression. He noticed something odd with her reaction. Stephen was a psychologist so he could easily see through her. She was hiding something.

"Cherry, tell me the truth. Who gave you this information? I hope this is not a prank." Stephen's expression turned serious. This had something to do with his best friend's safety so Stephen wanted to make sure that this was not a joke.

Stephen could see some hesitation in her eyes. But he sensed that Cherry was not making up a story.

"Doc Stephen… don't be shocked but… Jane is now awake. She's the one who informed me about this. She said you have to mobilize a search and rescue operation–" Cherry couldn't finish her words as Stephen dashed out as soon as he heard that Jane regained consciousness.

He moved in a flash, reaching Phantomflake's room. Stephen didn't know how fast he moved just to see her. Cherry could only run and follow him from behind.

Bam!

Stephen pushed the door open and his eyes scanned the room, searching for Jane. He stood frozen in his spot the moment his gaze fell on Jane's face. 

'Jane is awake! She is awake!' Stephen couldn't contain his joy and excitement. After a few seconds, his feet began to step forward, closing their gaps.

Jane was sitting on the edge of her bed while being checked by the nurse. Stephen pushed the nurse aside and pulled Jane into a hug.

Jane was surprised when Stephen hugged her tightly. 'This is not the time for this. He should find Nathan and Abigail.' Jane crumpled her face and gently pushed him away.

"Stephen, you have to find Nathan and Abigail. They might be in danger. Search the Caceres Hills and the surrounding forests." Jane spoke spontaneously.

Stephen was stunned in silence. 'She called my name. Did she remember me? But how about Nathan and Abigail? How did she know that they are in danger?'

Seeing the confusion and disbelief in Stephen's eyes, Jane reached out, grabbing his shirt. She looked straight into his eyes, not breaking their eye-to-eye contact.

"Steph… There is no time to spare. You have to move now!" Jane said in her pleading tone. She clutched his shirt tightly. Her worries and concerns were evident to her face.

Stephen could only bob his head. Without wasting any more time, Stephen dialed Axel's number. If something went wrong, Axel could respond immediately as Nathan's right hand man. He knew that Axel could mobilize Nathan's men faster.

"Axel! This is an emergency! Mobilize your team! Search for Nathan and Abigail at Caceres Hill and forest! ASAP!" Stephen didn't know why but when it came to Jane, he couldn't say no to her. And he believed her no matter what.

After informing Axel, Stephen also called the police department. He wanted to maximize the police force to speed up the search.

Jane heaved a sigh of relief when Stephen started to move. But her heart was still heavy because she didn't know what happened to Nathan and Abigail after her soul was transferred back to her original body. The last thing she remembered was that Nathan hugged her tightly when their parachute got hit.

Stephen had observed that Jane was still anxious. He wanted to comfort her so he stroked her hand and said, "Don't worry. We will find Abigail." He thought she was worried because of Abigail since they knew each other.

"I will go there myself," Stephen added.

Jane bit her lower lip and bobbed her head. She would be more at ease if Stephen would go there. "Just stay here and lie down. You still need to recover your energy."

"I will take care of my sis. You can go now, Doc Stephen." Cherry joined them.

Stephen said goodbye to them to join the search and rescue. He had just left the house when he received a confirmation text from Axel. Indeed, Nathan went to Caceres Hill together with Abigail. He booked the entire place for today.

When Stephen read Axel's message, he suddenly became nervous. What if something bad happened to the couple? He couldn't fathom as to why Jane knew about this.

Both Stephen and Axel were now on the way to Caceres Hill. Axel mobilized the members of Syphiruz to find and track their Supreme Leader's current location. They just hoped his phone was switched on so that they could track him quickly.

Meanwhile, Cherry accompanied Jane in her room. She didn't leave her side. She felt so happy just watching her. 

"Sis Phantom…" Cherry grabbed her hands. There were lots of things she wanted to ask her.

"Black Rose…" Jane already expected that Cherry would ask so many questions.

"How… how did you know that Abigail and Nathan are in danger?"

Jane felt conflicted for a moment. "I saw them with my own eyes. My soul…"

Cherry: "..."
