100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Seventy-One…

~~*****~~

"Yes! Yes! Finally!" Ethan couldn't contain his happiness when he heard his father's declaration. It was a moment he had been eagerly waiting for, the confirmation that Nathan and Jane were officially dating. Because of this piece of good news, Ethan had forgotten his troubles, leaving only a sense of pure bliss.

On the other hand, the surprise left Jane momentarily speechless, unsure of how to respond to this unexpected twist. Nathan didn't even ask her about the status of their relationship. 

However, upon observing the radiant joy on Ethan's face, Jane couldn't help but break into a warm, affectionate smile. She decided to go with the flow and play along with Nathan.

"Yes, Ethan. I hope you will give us your blessing," Jane softly mumbled.

Bobbing his head with enthusiasm, Ethan clung to Jane's hands as he locked his gaze onto her eyes with unwavering intensity. His words were filled with genuine warmth and support as he expressed his approval, "Of course, you have my blessing, Miss Jane! I wish you both all the happiness in the world!"

Having offered his heartfelt blessing, Ethan turned his attention to his father, his chest swelling with pride. He wanted to make sure his father knew just how much this moment meant to him. With a playful wink and a thumbs-up gesture, he praised his dad, saying, "You've made me proud, Dad! Keep it up!"

Nathan and Jane burst out into a peal of laughter, filling the room with a contagious, cheerful atmosphere. 

After a while, Jane momentarily left Ethan's ward. She went to an isolated area in the hospital to summon Bam-Bam. The magical creature seemed to anticipate her calling. Bam-Bam instantly appeared in front of Jane, grinning from ear to ear.

"Hello, Master! You look inspired today," Bam-Bam greeted her playfully, his eyes twinkling mischievously.

Jane eyed him suspiciously, wondering if this naughty magical creature had been secretly observing her interaction with Nathan.

"Don't give me that smug smile. I have the urge to rip that smile off your face," Jane chided him, pretending to be serious.

Bam-Bam let out a helpless sigh. He wondered why Jane was upset with him again. "What have I done, Master? Why are you so grumpy? You should be rejoicing today considering the impressive progress you've made on your mission."

Upon hearing that, Jane narrowed her eyes at Bam-Bam. She knew it! This crafty magical creature was indeed watching her and Nathan. He already knew that she and Nathan had finally reconciled. And they decided to take their relationship to another level.

"Bam-Bam! Stop being naughty!" Jane reprimanded him. 

The fluffy magical creature let out hearty chuckles as he floated merrily around Jane, his wings creating a gentle breeze. His mischievous grin remained firmly in place as he continued to playfully tease with her. 

"Congratulations, Master!" he exclaimed with gleeful enthusiasm. "You are about to accomplish your mission. I think your remaining time left is more than sufficient to make Nathan fall head over heels for you, completely and irrevocably." Bam-Bam added with confidence.

Jane just rolled her eyes skyward while crossing her arms above her chest. "Cut it out with the compliments," she remarked with a hint of exasperation. 

"Don't forget, you're the one who got me into this mess in the first place. Can you work your magic and revoke my brain tumor diagnosis?" She paused for a moment, her tone growing more serious. "Nathan keeps insisting on treatment, and there are still so many things I need to accomplish here."

"Alright, Master! Your wish is my command," Bam-Bam responded with a playful salute. "I'll work my magic and eliminate that non-existent illness of yours. You can schedule another check-up for tomorrow and share the results with Nathan. Everything will appear perfectly normal."

Jane breathed a sigh of relief, a weight lifting from her shoulders. "Thank you, Bam-Bam. That's exactly what I needed."

Bam-Bam, always eager to assist, inquired, "Is there anything else I can do for you, Master?"

Jane hesitated for a moment, her expression a mix of seriousness and curiosity as she looked into Bam-Bam's twinkling eyes. "Bam-Bam... I have a question," she began thoughtfully. 

"Do you think Nathan is genuinely falling for me, or is he doing all this just to move on and forget about my sister, Abigail?" 

Doubts still lingered in her heart, and she couldn't shake the feeling that perhaps Nathan's intentions weren't as sincere as they seemed. She was cautious, not wanting to set herself up for disappointment by placing too much hope in his feelings.

Bam-Bam extended his small, comforting paw, gently patting Jane on the back as he tried to ease her doubts. "You need to trust in yourself, Master," he advised with an affectionate tone. 

"Remember, Nathan has always been drawn to you. From the days when he admired you as the Shining Star, to the time he fell for you when your soul resided in Abigail's body. And now, here he is, once again, beginning to fall for you as Jane Hiroshi. Through all those moments, his love and affection have always been directed towards you and no one else. He might be a bit dense when it comes to recognizing it, but it's unmistakably you that he's drawn to."

Bam-Bam's words carried a sense of unwavering faith in the depth of Nathan's feelings, assuring Jane that the connection between them was genuine and enduring, even if Nathan hadn't fully realized it yet.

Hearing those words from Bam-Bam, Jane couldn't help but feel at ease. He was right. Nathan had fallen for her over and over again.

"Thank you, Bam-Bam," Jane whispered gratefully, her voice filled with a mix of relief and determination.

She continued, her tone gaining strength as she spoke, "I had almost given up on my love for him, believing I was unworthy. But now, I've made up my mind to fight for my love. I'm committed to seeing this mission through until a hundred days have passed." Jane's renewed resolve shone in her eyes as she found her motivation once more. She was determined to overcome any obstacle that stood between her and Nathan, fueled by the belief that their love was worth every effort and challenge along the way.

"That's my Master! Good luck and be careful. Your enemies are just lurking around. They are going to destroy and ruin everything. You must protect all your loved ones." Bam-Bam reminded Jane, giving her some warnings.

"I know. I won't let them." Jane said with conviction.
