Day Eighty-Two…

~~*****~~

[ Country J: Sakura District Hospital… ]

Nathan would be returning to Country M today as he needed to take care of his father and monitor his condition. He heard an update from Butler Li that the old man hadn't regained consciousness yet even though his test results were all normal.

Before flying back to Country M, Nathan dropped by the hospital to say goodbye to Jane and his son, Ethan.

"Are you leaving today?" Jane asked Nathan. There was a hint of disappointment in her voice. She didn't want to be apart from him.

"Yes. My father's condition didn't improve."

Jane just nodded. Nathan noticed the sad look in her eyes. To cheer her up, Nathan pulled her into a warm hug and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"I'm going to miss you. I'll wait for you in Country M," Nathan softly mumbled, tightening his grip on her body. 

"Jane…"

"Yes, Nate?"
