100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 564 Trading Her Remaining Days





Day Sixty-Three…

~~*****~~

[ At SYP Twilight Corp… ]

Nathan was about to enter the building when Chantha contacted him. He pressed the answer button as he stepped out of his car.

"Boss! Have you heard what happened today?" Chantha's voice resounded from the other line.

"Heard what?" Nathan frowned, clueless. He was busy searching for Dave and following Jane this afternoon. He just got back to the office after making sure that Jane didn't make further trouble after meeting Helena.

"Marco shot Dave. He is in the hospital right now." Chantha reported to him. She was responsible for following Marco and Veronica. She was about to help Dave when Cherry arrived. In the end, Chantha continued tailing Veronica and Marco.

"What hospital? Why did he get shot?" Nathan halted on his steps. He planned on going back to his car and driving to the hospital.

"Greenbelt District Hospital. Dave has been following Veronica. Marco noticed his presence and he shot him on the spot."

Nathan's expression turned dark when he heard that. "Catch them now! No need to stall for time." He finally gave his order to capture Veronica and Marco.

"Copy, Boss! I'm working on it now." Chantha sounded excited. She wanted to hunt those two.

"Be careful. I heard from Axel that you almost got caught by Marco. Bring some men. Don't make a reckless move. I'll send Axel to you." Nathan reminded Chantha.

Chantha could only bite her lower lip, feeling a little bit guilty. 'Axel tells on me, exposing my mistake to our Supreme Leader. I'm going to beat him.' Chantha thought to herself.

"Don't make a mistake here." Nathan reminded her again. He knew that Abigail would be affected because of Dave. He wouldn't let Marco and Veronica enjoy their freedom. Harming Dave also meant hurting Abigail's feelings.

After giving his command to Chantha, Nathan left the building, going to Greenbelt District Hospital. He could tell that Abigail was there… including Jane. Just like him, Jane was very protective of Abigail. He was certain that Jane would do something again. He felt the need to monitor her every action.

Meanwhile, at Greenbelt District Hospital, Jane went to the rooftop, calling for someone.

"Bam-Bam! Are you here? Show your face to me!" Jane felt like Bam-Bam would be the solution to her problem. She saw how Abigail collapsed a while ago because of Dave. She couldn't bear to see her sister in that state.

Abigail was now resting in the ward. She asked Stephen to look after her while she was not around.

"Master!!! I'm here. I hear you calling my name. Why?" Bam-Bam showed up to her. It had been so long since the last time Bam-Bam interacted with Jane. He was distancing himself from her because Jane only had thirty-seven days left to accomplish her mission.

"Please heal Dave! I know you can do it! Heal his body just like how you healed my sister's body." Jane begged him.

Bam-Bam blinked his eyes in disbelief. This was the first time he saw Jane begging him desperately.

"Master, I'm sorry. But I am not allowed to do that. I'm a soul keeper. Not a body healer!" Bam-Bam responded.

Jane narrowed her eyes at him before grabbing his legs. "Don't lie to me, Bam-Bam. I was supposed to die but you kept me alive. Now, Dave needs your intervention too. Help him!"

Bam-Bam scratched the back of his head, feeling problematic. He didn't know how he would explain this to Jane. She wasn't listening to him.

"Believe it or not, Master. I can't heal Dave. Unless you want me to use someone's else soul and transfer it to his body. Is that what you want?" Bam-Bam complained.

"Furthermore… it's hard to find a soul that would fit his body. Before I can find one, it will be too late. Let fate decide what will happen to his life." Bam-Bam added, looking so serious.

Jane let go of Bam-Bam and punched the wall, letting out her frustrations.

"Damn it! Why Dave? Why it has to happen to Dave? He is a good man! He doesn't deserve this. It's my fault! I was the one who asked him to follow Veronica." Jane started blaming herself again. She was so stressed. She encountered one trouble after another. 

"Bam-Bam… tell me… Is he going to die?" Jane asked him again. Desperation and helplessness could be seen in her eyes.

Bam-Bam was not able to respond right away. His silence made Jane more uneasy. "He can't die! If I have to trade my remaining lifeline, I would do it. Just let him live… for my sister."

Bam-Bam's eyes lit up when he heard that. "Does it mean… are you willing to give up your remaining days so that he can live? You have thirty-seven days left."

"Can I do that? Will Dave recover if I exchange some of my remaining days?" Jane finally found some hope.

But Bam-Bam contemplated for a moment. "Are you sure… you are willing to do that? What if your remaining time is not enough to accomplish your mission?"

"Yes. I don't care about it anymore. How many days am I allowed to barter for Dave's safety?" Jane asked him, feeling so determined.

"One week," Bam-Bam finally responded.

Jane heaved a deep sigh. "Alright. I'm willing to exchange it. Just let him live!" Jane didn't think twice. She thought Dave deserved to live longer than her. He was a good man while she was a bad person. 

"Okay, Master. I accept this deal!" Bam-Bam spread his wings and flew toward her.

Bam-Bam surrounded Jane and magical lights appeared around her body. She felt like Bam-Bam took something inside her body and she suddenly felt weak. 

"Master, I have to go and transfer your soul's energy to Dave." Before Jane could respond, Bam-Bam disappeared from her sight.

'Why do I feel like I fell on Bam-Bam's game again? What a crafty creature?! s my life just a game to him? Now I wonder if he is a friend or a foe.'

Jane's face became pale, and her body began to sweat profusely. She had to lean on the wall to steady her footing. Her vision was becoming blurry. She was going to pass out. Jane was losing consciousness when the door of the rooftop was pushed open.

'Is that Nathan?'

Jane met Nathan's gaze. Her lips mumbled his name but her voice was too weak. She could feel like gravity was pulling her body. And before she knew it, she found herself falling to the ground. But Nathan ran in her direction to catch her.

"Jane!"
