Chapter 890 The Last Mission: Things to Figure Out
Day Ninety-Four…
Veronica charged toward Jane, holding a hard object. She thought Jane was hurting Nathan so she wanted to protect him by hitting Jane.
However, before she could touch her, Nathan immediately flipped Jane onto the bed as he wrapped her in his arms in a protective embrace.
Veronica ended up hitting Nathan's back with the hard metal tray because he used his body to shield Jane.
"Oh no! Nate!" Veronica gasped in surprise when the metal tray landed on Nathan's back. "I'm sorry!" She dropped the tray to the floor, feeling worried about Nathan. "Are you hurt?"
Then she glared at Jane. She was supposed to be the one getting hit by Veronica, not Nathan.
'Why did he protect her?' She gritted her teeth as she gave Jane a deathly glare.
Meanwhile, Nathan turned to look at Veronica, his eyes were as cold as the winter snow. He was displeased by Veronica's action.
"How dare you try to hurt our VIP patient?" Nathan reprimanded her in front of Jane.
Veronica was taken aback by Nathan's sudden outburst.
"I'm just trying to help you. I thought she was strangling you," Veronica retorted. She hated the fact Nathan raised his voice on her.
Jane just heaved a deep sigh while yanking Nathan's arm. She shook her head, telling him to calm down.
"Sorry for this misunderstanding, Doc Veronica. But I'm not hurting Nathan. It's not what you think. In fact, I'm planning to kiss him." Jane smiled tauntingly, anchoring her arms around Nathan's neck.
Jane's bold declaration made Veronica boil in fury. Her face turned red from anger and jealousy.
'What? Kiss him?! How dare she do that to Nathan?!'
Veronica had the urge to pull him away from Jane. She clenched her fists, cursing Jane silently.
Meanwhile, Jane smiled inwardly as she deliberately provoked Veronica. She was upset because Veronica interrupted her moment with Nathan.
"You can leave us," Nathan ordered Veronica in his authoritative voice.
Veronica was reluctant to leave them. She felt threatened. She didn't know why Nathan suddenly became close to Jane.
"By the way, Nate, the other patient you brought here is getting worse. She became more violent. My team suggested bringing her to a mental institution for her treatment." Veronica informed him about Monica's case. She still knew her as Helena Carlsen.
"Where is her family member? You should tell them," she added.
Nathan and Jane met each other's gaze. Both of them were thinking of the same thing– 'You are her family member.'
"Just leave this matter to Axel. I will ask him to make some arrangements for her transfer. Go now." Nathan dismissed Veronica.
She had no choice but to follow Nathan's command. She left the VIP ward in a bad mood.
Jane heaved a sigh of relief when Veronica disappeared from their sight. She turned to Nathan and said, "Take off your shirt."
Nathan was taken aback for a moment. 'Is she for real? She wants me to strip in front of her in this room?'
Jane let out a soft giggle when she read his expression. "Silly, Nate! I'm not going to ravish you. I just want to check your back. Veronica hit you hard with a metal tray earlier."
Nathan felt a little bit disappointed when he heard that. He thought Jane was planning to do something naughty. Of course, he won't complain about it.
"Haha! You naughty guy!" Jane pinched his cheeks. "We can't do it here. My father and our son might see us. Don't worry. We got plenty of time once we return home." She winked at him while smiling playfully.
Nathan could only smile at her remarks. "I'll look forward to that."
Without further ado, he removed his shirt, letting Jane examine her back. Jane gasped when she saw the redness of his skin.

"Damn it! You got a large bruise, Nate." Jane gritted her teeth because Nathan got hurt.
"Oh, it doesn't hurt." He pretended.
But he groaned when Jane pressed his flesh using her thumb. "See. It's painful! Don't pretend that it's nothing," she scolded him.
"Just give me a hug and I'll get better," Nathan said with a smirk.
Jane could only roll her eyes skyward. "No. I have to apply an ice pack!"
Jane was about to get off the sickbed but Nathan grabbed her wrist and pulled her once again. Then he looked at her with a heated gaze.
"Hey, Nate, what's wrong? I'm just going to get some ice pack."
But Nathan tightened his hold on her, not allowing her to leave his side. "I'm just really fine. I am more worried about you. Tell me if you feel any discomfort. Are you unwell?"
There was a hint of fear and worry in Nathan's eyes. He had to admit he was terrified when Jane fell unconscious, and the doctors couldn't determine what was wrong with her. She wasn't waking up, as though she were in a coma.
Jane cupped his face and gave him a reassuring smile. "Hmm. I'm healthy. Nothing is wrong with me. I just tend to sleep for up to eighteen hours without waking up. If it happens again, just kiss me. Sleeping Beauty will wake up with a kiss from her Prince Charming." Jane cracked a joke to lighten his mood.
Nathan didn't hesitate as he grabbed her head, sealing her lips with a passionate kiss. His lips softly brushed her lips, his tongue tracing every corner of her mouth. He couldn't control himself. This was his way of releasing his anxiety. He needed her.
With a sensuous movement, his tongue entered her mouth with urgent passion, tasting and sucking her. He pulled her head closer as he deepened the kiss, his tongue swept inside to caress the inner walls of her mouth.
Jane tried her best to match the intensity of Nathan's kisses. She felt as though she were drowning in the sweetness of his lips and tongue, expertly maneuvering as they devoured her.
'Damn. He is a great kisser.' Jane thought to herself, savoring their intimate moment.
As they continued kissing, Jane realized something. 'I shouldn't force Nathan to confess today. There are still things I need to figure out. I need to talk to Bam-Bam. What is going to happen if I succeed in my mission? What is the meaning of the scene I just saw when I was unconscious?'
Nathan bit her lips when he noticed that Jane was distracted by something. "Just focus on me, Jane," he whispered sensually in between the kisses.

On the other hand, the moment Veronica left the VIP ward, she received a phone call from an unknown number.
"Hello, who is this?" Veronica asked in puzzlement.
"I'm Vincent. You are Monica's sister, am I right?" Vincent spoke to her with a serious tone.
Cocking her eyebrows, Veronica answered him, "Yes. I'm her sister. Why? Do you know her?"
"There is something I need to discuss with you. Come and meet me at my place. Make sure that no one can see you." Vincent gave her some instructions.
Curious about this mysterious guy and his connection with her sister, Veronica decided to meet him. Leaving the Syphiruz Medical Facility, she proceeded to the address Vincent gave her.
