100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Thirty One…

~~*****~~

[ At Country M…. Syphiruz Medical Facility… ]

After getting immediate treatment in the hospital of Country J, Axel and Stephen were transferred to Country M along with Phantomflake. The Syphiruz Mafia immediately escaped and left Country J. Fortunately, Axel got operated on and the bullets were removed.

Last night, Kathleen met Nathan and Stephen. Since they had to leave as soon as possible, Kathleen was not able to go back to Jack. Furthermore, her attention was diverted to Stephen.

Nathan ensured that Kathleen would go back with them. He would confront Aiden as to why Kathleen was present in the same hospital where he was going to retake Phantomflake.

Nathan was now in a room facing Kathleen and Aiden. The two cousins looked like they were in a principal's office, waiting to be interrogated by Nathan.

"Explain this." Nathan just said those simple words but Kathleen and Aiden could feel his authority. Nathan was a little bit mad.

What if the mission failed because of Kathleen's presence and something happened to her? It would be dangerous for her.

Kathleen and Aiden exchanged glances with one another. Aiden signaled Kathleen to defend him. It was her fault for secretly following Nathan to the hospital.

Kathleen already got her cue when she met Nathan's gaze. Since her cousin couldn't talk back to Nathan, she decided to take it over.

"Don't give me such a look, Nate. You should be the one to explain something. Why did you steal that patient? Who is she?" Kathleen confronted Nathan.

Aiden bit his lower lip. He was afraid that Nathan would erupt in anger. His cousin was truly fierce and bold to confront Nathan.

Nathan just gave Kathleen a sharp deathly glare. He had no obligation to answer that.

"It's none of your business," Nathan coldly said.

But Kathleen wouldn't back down. She kept on asking Nathan until the topic would be diverted away from her.

"It's illegal. Your action was suspicious. You pretended to be a resident doctor. Are you her guardian?"

"Yes, I am. I've been taking care of her for two years." Nathan could no longer stay quiet. He was annoyed by Kathleen's persistence. She kept on bugging him until she got the answer she wanted to hear.

Kathleen gasped and covered her mouth. She looked surprised. "OMG! I knew it. You have a relationship with her! Your secret lover!"

Nathan's expression darkened when he heard the word 'Lover'. In his thought, Phantomflake would never become his lover.

"She's my nemesis. Not a lover." Nathan declared. He rubbed his temples, trying to hold his emotions. Kathleen was very annoying.

Nathan turned to Aiden, motioning him to keep his cousin silent. Aiden could only shrug his shoulders, giving Nathan an apologetic look. Even he himself couldn't control his own cousin. Kathleen was always free-spirited. She would say anything that comes to her mind.

"Huh? You're lying! Why are you still denying it? You went to that extent just to get her out of that hospital. And what is this place? This seems to be a private hospital."

"Furthermore, you already said that you've been looking after her for the past two years now. If she is your enemy, why are you concerned about her well-being?" Kathleen threw more questions.

"Stop asking, Kath! This is enough!" Aiden stood up, grabbing Kathleen's elbow. He could already feel that Nathan was losing his patience with Kathleen.

"Hmmph! Are you a member of a gang? Those two men with you were frightening." Kathleen confronted Nathan once again.

Nathan squinted his eyes at her. He was supposed to be the one interrogating them but here he was being confronted by Kathleen.

Kathleen even put her hands on the sides of her waist, eyeing Nathan suspiciously. "Ahuh. Now you are speechless because you are guilty. If she is your lover, you don't have to hide it just because she is sick!"

A cold glint flashed through Nathan's eyes when he heard the word lover once more. "That woman… is not my lover. She was the person who killed Monica! She's an assassin!"

Kathleen: "..."

Kathleen was at a loss for words because of that revelation. She finally figured out why Nathan was enraged right now. He hated it when she was mentioning the word lover.

"W-What do you mean???" She turned to Aiden, asking him if he already knew about this.

Aiden just nodded his head, confirming and supporting Nathan's claim. Kathleen didn't know what to say to Nathan. It was her bad for making that wrong assumption.

'No way… Nathan is truly scary. Don't tell me he is the one who makes that woman sick. Is this his revenge? He is imprisoning her in this facility? I never saw her waking up. Is he torturing her to death?' Kathleen's wild imagination started to act up.

'Instead of handing her over to the police, Nathan chose to hold her captive. I already pity this woman.' Kathleen pitied Phantomflake more than Monica.

"I already answered your questions. Now, tell me the reason why I found you there. What were you doing in that hospital?" Nathan's expression could no longer be painted. He was annoyed since Aiden and Kathleen remained silent.

Aiden took a deep sigh. He had to confess now or else, Nathan would make things difficult for the two of them.

"I've mentioned to her about what happened to Stephen. It just so happened that she was in Country J. She didn't stop pestering me until I gave information to her about your arrival to Country J. I didn't expect her to follow you secretly from the airport going to that hospital. Forgive me, Nate. My cousin is always curious about you, Stephen, and me."

Kathleen just glared at her cousin. "You traitor! You just want to save your ass! Putting all the blame on me?!"

Nathan just stayed quiet for a moment, just darting his gaze back and forth between Aiden and Kathleen.

The two were waiting to lash out at them when Nathan's phone beeped. He got a message from Cliste. Nathan turned on his notification about the incoming messages for SizzlingAugust08.

[ Cliste: Hey, Yow! How is it? Where are you? Have you accomplished it? Were you able to get her back? ]

Nathan's expression softened after reading Cliste's message. Now, he was convinced that Cliste was not a foe. Thanks to her, he was able to take Phantomflake back.

'It's not bad to make friends with this stranger. Cliste is someone helpful.' Nathan's lips curled up into a faint smile. He was reminded again of Monica, or shall we say Shining_Star in particular.

Their friendship also started through the virtual conversation.

Meanwhile, Aiden and Kathleen were stunned upon seeing the changes in Nathan's expression. They wondered who was the person who messaged him at this moment, making his mood brighten up a little.

Nathan typed his reply, unaware that two pairs of eyes were already observing him and his every reaction.

[ SizzlingAugust08: Yeah. I got her back. Thanks to you. If you ever need my help, don't hesitate to tell me. I will certainly return the favor. ]

Nathan was this kind of person. He didn't want to be indebted for so long. He would make sure to return the favor. He could be good to people who deserved his kindness. But to people who wronged him, he could be as ruthless as the devil.

On the other side, Abigail felt her heart leap when she learned that Nathan successfully reclaimed her body. She was worried about him and his mission. She felt relieved after knowing that her body was back to Nathan's care.

She was about to be discharged today and Ethan was there to pick her up. Before leaving the hospital, she decided to message Nathan and asked him about his operation related to Phantomflake. She just heard a piece of good news!

"I knew it. He could take me back. He would do anything to have me…" Abigail smiled faintly. She glanced at the monitor's screen of Ethan's laptop.

She decided not to reply to Nathan's last message. She already felt glad that he was safe and the mission was a success.

When Abigail didn't respond, Nathan felt bothered. He felt like Cliste was always ignoring him as soon as she got what she wanted from him.

Nathan was just looking at his phone screen, waiting for Cliste's message. Aiden and Kathleen were silently observing him. It looked like Nathan had already forgotten about their existence. He was now so focused on his phone.

"Cousin… what are we going to do now? Should we leave him alone? Your best friend looks like he is occupied with something," Kathleen whispered at Aiden.

Aiden bobbed his head frantically and replied, "Yes. We should leave now and escape. Let's visit Stephen. He is resting on the second floor."

At the mention of Stephen's name, Kathleen immediately agreed. She even pulled Aiden hurriedly to leave Nathan's office.

Meanwhile, Nathan was still contemplating whether he should message Cliste again or not. Feeling annoyed and impatience, Nathan switched on his laptop and he began to trace Cliste's IP address.

Though Abigail used fake IP addresses to hide her real one, Nathan was able to decode it and he found Cliste's real IP address and location.

"What the hell… this IP… seems familiar to me…" Nathan frowned for a moment. After a while, his eyes widened at realization. In his baffled state, he mumbled, "Ethan's…"

Nathan clicked something and the location was revealed to him. [ Towerville City Hospital ]

Without saying a word, Nathan grabbed his car key as he marched out of his office. He had one destination in mind– Towerville City Hospital.
