As expected, Nathan and others couldn\'t understand nor believe what Ethan was saying. They misunderstood him, thinking he was still in denial and couldn\'t accept that Abigail was in a coma.

They were clueless that Ethan was referring to Phantomflake… the woman he could see while bonding with Abigail for the past few months.

"I can see souls! Spirits." Ethan declared to them.

Nathan: "..."

Stephen: "..."

Old Man Xu: "..."

"Oh my gosh! You shouldn\'t stay here in the hospital!" Aiden covered Ethan\'s eyes after he recovered from his shock. "Many souls are wandering around here." But Ethan removed Aiden\'s hands and rolled his eyes skyward.

On the other hand, Nathan frowned when he heard that. This was not a funny joke. He motioned for his son to come closer to him. When Ethan reached his father\'s spot, Nathan tapped his shoulder and said, "Ethan… I know this is hard for you. But you have to accept this. Abi is sick. But she is going to recover."

Ethan crumpled his face. He knew it! No one would believe his words. \'If only Mom is here, she is going to understand me and believe my words. Just like me, she can see supernatural creatures. I think… I must find that fluffy flying cat. He is the only one who can find my mommy. Bam-Bam… where are you?\'

Meanwhile, Aiden spoke again with his blabbering mouth. "Ethan, if you can see soul and spirits, have you seen your mother, Monica? Is she here? Is she guarding Nathan and you? Is that the reason you never cried before? Were you able to talk to her soul?"

Old Man Xu and Nathan shot Aiden with cold sharp glare. This guy\'s mouth didn\'t have a break. How could he mention Monica in this situation? Ethan was already stressed by Abigail\'s condition. And now, Aiden opened up another sensitive topic— Ethan\'s deceased mother.

"Nope. I have never seen my mother\'s soul… even once." Ethan promptly responded.

"Eh? Why? She should have visited you and your Dad once." Aiden asked the young boy exasperatedly.

"Enough!" Nathan interrupted. This was not the time to talk about this. This was nonsense.

Stephen immediately yanked Aiden\'s hand, signaling him to keep his mouth shut. 

They were still gathered in front of Abigail\'s VIP Ward when suddenly Madam Priyanshi Patel arrived together with her daughter, Nadia.

"Nathan, where is my niece? What happened to her?" A hint of concern could be heard in Madam Priyanshi\'s voice. She had just heard the news today. Nathan called her a while ago, informing her that Abigail was in the hospital.

Nathan looked down, clenching his jaw. He didn\'t know how he would explain this to Abigail\'s family.

"I\'m sorry. I failed to protect her. Someone tried to kill both of us. Unfortunately, Abi… fell into a coma."

Madam Priyanshi staggered on her feet when she heard that shocking news. How could this happen to her niece? They had just found her. Her father would be devastated once he learned about this.

"Mom…" Nadia held her mother\'s body to support her. She could see how shaken her mother was. Even she was flabbergasted upon hearing this.

"I\'m planning to transfer her tomorrow to my medical facility. I would like to ask your permission. I\'ll take care of her." Nathan called Madam Priyanshi to come to the hospital so that he could ask her permission to let Abigail stay in his medical facility.

"I\'m fine with it… as long as you can heal my niece. Her health is our priority. I will do everything I can." Madam Priyanshi didn\'t object. She agreed to Nathan\'s suggestion right away. She knew that Nathan would take good care of her niece. She trusts Nathan more than anyone else in the Yan Family.

"Who dare do this to my niece? I want to see her." Madam Priyanshi was feeling so anxious.

Nathan stepped to the side, inviting them to get inside. Madam Priyanshi and Nadia immediately entered the ward to see Abigail. Nathan followed them behind.

Old Man Xu tapped his grandson\'s shoulder. "Let\'s go, Ethan." The old man also urged the young boy to see Abigail.

Ethan could only sigh in defeat. Of course, he went there to visit the real Abigail. He thought he owed this woman a lot because, for the past few months, Phantomflake had been staying in this woman\'s body. Ethan thought Abigail was the reason why he met Phantomflake.

Stephen and Aiden were left outside. 

"What is your plan now, Stephen? Nathan won\'t listen to you. I believe he already made up his mind. He won\'t forgive Phantomflake. I bet his men are already torturing her at this moment." 

Aiden\'s remarks triggered Stephen\'s feelings furthermore. He got more worried about Phantomflake.

"I have to stop them. I\'ll ask Axel myself. I need to find out where they brought her." Stephen sounded very determined. Without wasting any more time, Stephen turned around to leave. But before he completely disappeared from Aiden\'s sight, he told him to see Cherry. Cherry was also worried about Phantomflake. She saw several men capturing Jane.

Aiden reacted instantly when Cherry\'s name was mentioned. He also left the hospital, going to Stephen\'s place. Aiden wanted to know what Cherry was doing. She might be shocked by what she witnessed.

"Damn! I promised Cherry that I would protect her sis. I have to convince Nathan also." Aiden murmured to himself.

He had just reached the parking lot when he called Stephen. Stephen was already driving when he answered the call. 

"What?" Stephen asked him.

"Stephen! Let\'s save Jane! Why don\'t we help her escape from Syphiruz? Or shall we ask for Ethan\'s help? I think Nathan might listen to his son. Ethan might be able to save Phantomflake\'s life. What do you think?" 

"I don\'t think it\'s a good idea. Nathan will hate us if we will involve Ethan here. Ethan has no idea that his mother was killed by Phantomflake. How can we ask an innocent kid to save the person who murdered his mother?" Stephen disregarded Aiden\'s suggestion right away. 

"But I will go to your first suggestion. If things get worse, we should rescue Jane and get her out of the Syphiruz. But we need to find out where is their headquarters. Did they bring Jane there?" 

"Hmm… I will leave that task to you. For now, I have to go and comfort Cherry. She might be worried sick of her sister right now."

"Ok. Let\'s do this. But I will try to talk to Nathan and convince him again. I don\'t want him to hate us just because we chose to save Jane\'s life." Stephen was feeling conflicted.

While Aiden and Stephen were planning to rescue Phantomflake behind Nathan\'s back, Nathan decided to go to the Syphiruz Headquarters. Madam Priyanshi and Nadia stayed in the hospital together with Old Man Xu and Little Ethan.

*****

[ At Syphiruz Mafia Headquarters… ]

Jane and Spider\'s team already arrived at the headquarters. They immediately brought Jane to the dark room. 

Jane looked very calm and composed, not showing any fear as she traversed through the underground prison cells. She halted on her steps when she saw someone. Madam Lu was also there in the Dark Room!

\'Nathan… he suspects Madam Lu as the mastermind for what happened to us…\' Jane thought to herself.
