100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Twenty Eight...

~~*****~~

Aiden and Stephen didn't stay long in Abigail's ward. The two men left after eating the pasta Cherry cooked for them. Aiden's colleagues called him because they had to work on an important project, while Stephen decided to visit Nathan. He wanted to help him in getting Phantomflake back.

Inside the mini-living room of the VIP ward, Abigail was waiting for Little Ethan and Cherry. The two just went out to buy some food to stockpile in the refrigerator. When Abigail was left alone, Bam-Bam took that chance to show up in front of her.

For the past few days, Nathan, Ethan, and Cherry stayed by her side so he didn't get to talk to Abigail. Bam-Bam flew toward Abigail who was currently watching a movie on the TV screen.

"Bam-Bam!" Abigail felt glad to see this flying creature. "How is it? Did you find my body?" she couldn't wait for his updates.

"Yes, Master! I found your body. The Red Dragon Mafia brought your body to the other country called Country J. It is a big Sanitarium exclusively for the members and allies of the Red Dragon Mafia."

Abigail thought of Nathan. He had been busy since yesterday, just searching for Phantomflake. She wondered what he was doing right now. He hadn't visited her today yet.

Part of her was hoping to see him. Maybe because he missed the way he took care of her, feeding her, assisting her when she wanted to walk and stand around the room, and tucking her on her bed before going to sleep. Nathan almost became her private nurse! A handsome nurse!

"Do you know the address? I want to help Nathan and the Syphiruz Mafia. They have to reclaim my body back as soon as possible." Abigail's expression became serious as she gazed at Bam-Bam.

Bam-Bam bobbed his head frantically, smiling broadly. "Yes, Master! I know the address. Do you want me to write it down for you?"

Abigail sized him up from top to bottom. She arched her eyebrow and asked him, "Do you know how to write using your paws? Can you hold a ballpen?"

Bam-Bam facepalmed upon hearing that. "Master, are you underestimating me? I'm a magical creature who can read and write like a human being but I can use telekinesis. I didn't have to hold the ballpen myself. I can just look at it and make it move using my mind." Bam-Bam sounded proud and confident. He was boasting a little bit.

Abigail just gave him a faint smile. "Alright! Now tell me the address and the exact location. I will send this to Nathan. I wouldn't feel at ease as long as my real body is in the territory of the Red Dragon Mafia."

Bam-Bam didn't waste more time as he used his telekinetic power to grab the ballpen and pad in the drawer. He waved his paws and the ballpen started to move on its accord, writing the address on the pad paper.

"Bam-Bam, can you go and monitor my condition? I believe my body was hurt when I got shot, am I right?" Abigail looked at her injured hand. She recalled that whatever happened to Abigail's body while her soul was occupying it, her original body would also suffer and experience the same thing.

"Indeed, something happened to your body. You also bled and almost died. Fortunately, you survived while your soul was in that body. From now on, you have to be more careful," Bam-Bam reminded her.

"By the way, it looks like the shooting incident helped you to get closer to Nathan. You already reconciled with him. He didn't bring up the topic of your involvement with the Phantom's Assassin Guild. Have you anticipated this outcome? Was that the reason why you didn't hesitate to sacrifice yourself just to save him?"

Abigail fell silent for a moment. She was trying to assess her real feelings. She was reflecting on her actions. 'I saved him... because he was my old friend... SizzlingAugust08.'

"Let's not talk about him... I need to send this address to Nathan without his knowledge..." Abigail tossed a look at the paper wherein the complete address of the Red Dragon's Sanitarium was written.

Abigail and Bam-Bam were preoccupied with what they were doing that they failed to notice the presence of another person who was standing behind the sofa. Little Ethan stopped and stayed rooted in his spot as he watched Abigail with eyes filled with bafflement.

Ethan opened his mouth only to close it again, his eyes darting back and forth from side to side. He was seeing and hearing something he couldn't explain. 'Can Miss Abi see ghosts and spirits? Who is she talking to?'

Little Ethan's brows knitted into a deep frown as he observed Abigail. Something strange was happening there. But Little Ethan didn't want to disturb Abigail so he just stood in his spot, not making any noise.

After a while, Bam-Bam caught a glimpse of someone else's presence inside the room. When he turned to the back, his eyes met Ethan's gaze. Bam-Bam stopped talking and just watched the boy. 'Damn! How long he has been standing there? Can he see me or not?'

Meanwhile, Abigail was puzzled as to why Bam-Bam suddenly stopped talking. She followed his line of sight and Ethan's adorable face came into her view. 'Ethan and Cherry are back?!'

Abigail and Bam-Bam exchanged meaningful glances. Both of them were assessing Ethan's expression. He remained standing in his spot like a statue.

Bam-Bam wanted to know if Ethan could see him or not. Without a second thought, Bam-Bam flew, closing their gaps in an instant. He moved closer to the young boy's face. He even waved his paws in front of his eyes, wondering if he would react but Ethan just ignored him. His eyes were fixed on Abigail's face.

'Am I just mistaken? I thought our eyes met a while ago. Sigh!' Bam-Bam heaved a sigh of relief. He almost got a heart attack thinking that Little Ethan could see him.

Ethan seemed like he wanted to tell Abigail something but in the end, he decided to just keep it to himself. "Hello, Miss Abi! Are you talking to someone?" Ethan asked her with his innocent eyes.

Abigail blinked in puzzlement. 'Did he hear me talking to Bam-Bam?' Abigail didn't learn her lesson. Nathan already overheard her conversation once. And now, Ethan might have heard her conversation with Bam-Bam.

She shifted her gaze back and forth between Ethan and the flying creature surrounding him. 'I don't think he can see Bam-Bam. I should come out with a good alibi.'

"I'm just talking about the movie I am watching. Come here, Ethan," Abigail patted the space next to her, inviting Ethan to sit with her. Then Abigail secretly signaled Bam-Bam to leave Ethan alone. She didn't want to see Bam-Bam flying around Ethan as if he wanted to play with him.

Ethan just bobbed his head and obediently traced his steps toward Abigail. "Miss Cherry just dropped by the drugstore to buy you medicine. She will be here in a while."

"Okay, let's just wait for her," Abigail softly mumbled. Then she glanced at Bam-Bam who was still flying around the room. The magical creature was reluctant to leave but since Ethan was there, he had no choice but to disappear and do what he needed to do.

However, before Bam-Bam left, Abigail sent him a secret message, reminding him to monitor her body at the Red Dragon Mafia's headquarters. She didn't trust the Red Dragon Mafia.

"Ethan, did you bring your laptop?" Abigail was thinking of sending Nathan a message through a secret account. She wondered if he was still using SizzlingAugust08. Would he be reminded of her even though she would use a different account?

"Yes, Miss Abi. It's in the car. I will call my bodyguard to bring the laptop here." Ethan immediately picked up his phone and called his assigned bodyguard. Fifteen seconds later, Ethan hang up the phone.

"What do you think your father is doing right now?" Abigail simply asked Ethan, pretending that it was just a casual question. But in truth, she was trying to get information out of Ethan.

"I asked GGA. It looks like he is searching for something, Miss Abi. Why, Miss Abi? Do you miss my Dad already?" Ethan smiled at Abigail teasingly.

"Y-Yes... I mean No." Abigail took her word back instantly. It was just a slip of the tongue. "I am just worried about him since there are bad people who are after your Dad."

"Don't worry about me. I can deal with them." A deep baritone voice was heard at the back. Nathan entered the ward together with Cherry.

"Dad!"

"Nathan..."

Both Ethan and Abigail turned in his direction, surprised to see him. Ethan jumped off the sofa and ran to welcome his father. He pounced on him and raised his hands, asking his father to carry him. Nathan scooped Ethan right away and carried him in his arms.

"Dad, Miss Abi is missing you. Did you hear it? She was looking for you," Ethan whispered in his ear when he anchored his arms around his father's neck.

Nathan's lips twitched, fighting a smile. Yes, he heard her looking for him but she denied the fact that she was missing him.

"I came here to deliver a piece of good news," Nathan mumbled, shifting his gaze back and forth between Abigail and Ethan. Cherry was also there, listening to Nathan.

"What good news, Dad?" Ethan asked him, his eyes filled with intrigue.

"We caught the culprit who shot Miss Abi," Nathan declared to them.

'Eh? That is so fast! They caught the culprit in just a short period.' Abigail couldn't help but feel amazed.

"What do you want me to do to him?" Nathan asked Abigail, looking at her intently.

"Eh? Why are you asking me that..."

"Because you were the one who got hurt... I'll do what you want... It's your call," Nathan said meaningfully, making Abigail's heart flutter.
