"My parents?" Abigail had a puzzled look in her eyes. "They were all dead," she mumbled. For a moment, she had forgotten that Nathan was referring to the real Abigail, not Phantomflake. She recalled that her parents died in a car accident and her master was the one who saved her and raised her like her own child.

"How did you know that they were dead? You were sent to an orphanage, am I right?" Nathan asked her.

At the mention of the orphanage, Abigail realized that Nathan was referring to the parents of the real owner of her body.

"Oh right. I just thought they died. But if given a chance, of course, I would like to meet them. I want to know who are my real parents so that I can ask them why they abandoned me," Abigail responded, putting herself in the real Abigail\'s shoes.

Nathan nodded his head. "I found out who is your mother and her family."

Abigail was at loss for words. She was surprised knowing how capable Nathan was.

\'He might be doubting my identity and he conducted a thorough investigation that led to the discovery of Abigail\'s parents. Nathan Sparks and his resources are truly one of a kind.\' Abigail couldn\'t help but praise him in her mind.

"Who is Abi… I mean who is my mother?" Abigail asked Nathan expectantly. She wanted to know since this was related to the real owner of her body.

"Alyssa Yan of the Yan Family. The elder sister of Madam Priyanshi Patel, the owner of EDSJ Five Star Hotel. Can you remember her?" Nathan just dropped the bomb in front of Abigail.

Abigail was not able to utter a word for several seconds. She couldn\'t believe that the real Abigail was a member of a wealthy family in Towerville City. Of course, she had heard of Priyanshi Patel, including the Yan Family. She even met Madam Priyanshi during the Masquerade Ball.

"You are a missing heiress," Nathan added.

"No way!" Abigail gasped in disbelief. She shook her head, trying to absorb his words.

Nathan smirked at her and said, "Aren\'t you happy with this discovery?"

"Are you sure about this? Is this not a prank? What proof do you have?" Abigail questioned him. She couldn\'t believe his words. What if Nathan was just taunting her?

"I\'ll be honest with you. I have been always doubtful of your identity so I dug deeper to obtain more information related to you." Nathan paused for a moment and handed a piece of paper over to her.

Abigail accepted it and read the content. A deep crease appeared on her forehead after reading what was written on the paper. It was the result of the DNA Test and it showed that the two samples matched each other with a 99.9% result.

"You and your mother\'s DNA test report…"

Abigail scanned the paper over and over again. Nathan was telling the truth. She and Alyssa Yan shared the same bloodline. They were proven to be mother and daughter.

"Perhaps, did you discover the reason why she abandoned me? How about my father? Who is my father?" Abigail asked Nathan as she gripped the paper tightly.

"I didn\'t get any information about your father… but your mother died a long time ago. It was a car accident."

Abigail didn\'t know why she felt affected by this discovery even though she was not the real Abigail. "My mother is… dead?"

Nathan didn\'t know what to say. Abigail\'s expression changed. He didn\'t know how he would comfort her. He wasn\'t prepared for this. He didn\'t expect that Abigail would take this negatively.

Abigail looked down, avoiding Nathan\'s gaze. She was trying to gather her emotions. She wasn\'t supposed to feel this way but for some unknown reason, she felt sorry for the real Abigail.

"Was I abandoned before my mother died?" Abigail asked him in a low voice.

Nathan\'s heart clenched seeing her gloomy mood. He could tell that Abigail was hurting right now.

"No. I don\'t think so. What I\'ve heard is that… you went missing. They lost you. And the Yan Family, most especially your Aunt, was looking for you for the past twenty years." Nathan\'s words somehow comforted Abigail. At least, Nathan was telling her she wasn\'t abandoned by her mother or by her family.

\'I think the real Abigail will be happy once she hears this truth. She can be with her real family. All she has to do is to survive once I leave her body,\' Phantomflake felt happy for Abigail. She didn\'t know why but she already felt a deep connection with the real owner of this body. Maybe because she was borrowing this body.

"Do you want to meet them and reveal to them the truth about your identity?" Nathan asked Abigail. He wanted to know if Abigail would become greedy knowing that she was an heiress.

But Abigail shook her head frantically. This was not the right time to tell the Yan Family about her real identity. She had no right to take this opportunity from the real Abigail. It should be the real Abi who should meet her family.

\'I am just borrowing her body right now to do my mission. If I introduce myself as the missing daughter of the Yan Family, Nathan will send me to them. I can no longer stay in the Sparks Mansion. I have to stick with Nathan.\'

"No. I can\'t reveal my true identity yet. I haven\'t caught the culprit… the person who wants me dead. What if this has something to do with the Yan Family?" Abigail reasoned out.

Nathan smiled inwardly. He was satisfied with Abigail\'s answer. He thought Abigail would suddenly get excited to meet the Yan Family. But he was mistaken. Deep inside, he didn\'t Abigail to reveal her identity yet. It was for the same reason. He suspected that the assassination attempt might be connected to the Yan Family.

"So what are you planning to do now?" Nathan nonchalantly asked her, taking the paper back from Abigail\'s hand. He had to keep it since Joker did something illegal just to get a DNA sample from the Yan Family. This should remain secret from the Yan Family.

"I\'m going to catch the culprit and stick with you for the meantime. Once I recover, I will go back to work and attend the Star Gala. Do you want to join me and become my escort during the Star Gala?" Abigail\'s mood went back to normal. She was shamelessly inviting Nathan to become her escort for the upcoming Star Gala Night.

"I\'m not a mere actress now. I am an heiress too. I can match your reputation," Abigail boldly said with so much confidence in her voice.

Nathan just watched her helplessly. "No, thanks. I am a busy man. I have something more important to do than attending a Star Gala." Nathan blatantly rejected Abigail\'s invitation.

"Okay, fine! I will not force you. I will just find someone else. Hmm… Aiden and Stephen might be a great choice too." Abigail said it to provoke Nathan.

Nathan\'s face contorted when he heard that. This woman really knew how to annoy him.

"Do what you want. Just don\'t bother me." Nathan turned around and marched out of the ward. He couldn\'t believe that Abigail would not ask him twice. She even considered replacing him with Aiden and Stephen.

\'What an unfaithful brat,\' Nathan murmured as he left the ward.

Abigail just smiled mischievously as she watched Nathan\'s departing back.

\'More revelations to come. With the help of Nathan, I am able to help the real Abigail in finding out the truth about her origin. I hope she will be able to survive once her soul returns to this body. I will leave this to Bam-Bam,\' Abigail thought to herself, her eyes gleaming with hope.

She had just thought of Bam-Bam when suddenly the flying creature showed up.

"Master! Master! We have a problem!" Bam-Bam called her attention with urgency in her voice. He looked very anxious.

"What happened? Am I in trouble again? My real body?" Abigail couldn\'t think of anything. She asked Bam-Bam to monitor her real body so this might be related to her.

"Yes and No!" Bam-Bam replied as he flew around her.

"Can you calm down and explain to me what\'s going on," Abigail grabbed Bam-Bam\'s leg using her left hand to stop him from flying around her. She was feeling dizzy with his movement.

"Master, your body is transferred to another place. You are no longer in the Red Dragon Mafia\'s Sanitarium. Did you inform Nathan about the location?"

Abigail bobbed her head in response. "Yes. I send the exact address and location to Nathan."

"Oh NO!" Bam-Bam gasped, holding his face using both paws.

"What\'s wrong?" Abigail asked.

"Master, this is Bad! Take it back! Take it back! The Red Dragon Mafia set a trap. They are already expecting Nathan and his men to make a move. The Sanitarium is full of traps. They can\'t leave that area alive."

Abigail\'s eyes widened when she heard that. She needed to inform Nathan as soon as possible. But Nathan just went outside. She just hoped Nathan didn\'t send his team to take her body back.

Abigail was about to leave her bed when Ethan suddenly appeared. Without asking her, Ethan picked up his laptop and his phone. "Miss Abi, do you need my laptop or my phone?"

Abigail and Bam-Bam looked at little Ethan confusedly. They didn\'t tell him anything but he suddenly showed up bringing his laptop and phone to Abigail as if he knew that she needed to contact his father right now.
