Abigail stayed in her room for the whole morning. She was too embarrassed to face Nathan. If she saw him, she would be reminded of what happened between them last night. That was the most intimate moment they shared so far.

Butler Li was the one who delivered her breakfast in bed. But aside from sending her food, Butler Li came to see her because a certain someone disappeared. The Main Chef left her resignation letter without even saying goodbye.

"Miss Abi, what are we going to do now? Cherry resigned today. Do I need to find another Chef?" Butler Li sounded problematic. The assistant cooks were the ones who prepared the simple breakfast.

Fortunately, Nathan left the house early this morning, not even eating his breakfast. Little Ethan was the one who brought up the topic of Cherry\'s absence.

Abigail rubbed her temples as she remembered Cherry. She wondered if she was on the way now to see Phantomflake. She was certain that Cherry would contact the Red Dragon Mafia.

"Don\'t accept her resignation yet. I will convince her to go back. Just tell others that Cherry went on vacation. She is also sick. Use that as an alibi."

"Noted Miss Abi. I understand. I\'m leaving now. I have to go to the supermarket today." Butler Li said goodbye, feeling at ease. At least, he would not worry about finding a new cook.

When Butler Li left, Abigail heaved a sigh of relief. She was grateful that Butler Li seemed loyal to her. He was now reporting directly to her if there was concern in the house, instead of informing Nathan.

\'Sigh. Why do I feel like Butler Li is treating me like the Lady of the House? He often consults me when it comes to decision-making here.\' Abigail could only shake her head helplessly.

Abigail got off her bed and was about to enter the bathroom when someone showed up in front of her. Finally! The one she had been dying to meet appeared in front of her.

"Bam-Bam!!!"

"Master!!! Did you miss me?" Bam-Bam, the magical flying creature, flashed his smile with his twinkling eyes.

Abigail immediately pulled his right leg, dragging her to the bed. "Where have you been?! You never showed up for several days!"

Bam-Bam let out a chuckle. "Haha. I knew it! You missed me!"

Poink!

Abigail hit his fluffy head.

"Aww! This is the reason why I don\'t want to show up. You are always hitting me. Poor me." Bam-Bam pretended to be hurt. He put on a pitiful look, acting upset in front of her.

Abigail could only roll her eyes skyward. She knew that Bam-Bam was overreacting.

"You said you would guide me in my mission. But you weren\'t around when I needed you. What were you up to lately?" Abigail scolded Bam-Bam. She felt like she was left alone and abandoned by her guardian angel.

Bam-Bam scratched his face using his paw. "I\'m sorry. It took me a long time before I could return to your side. I was busy looking for Abigail\'s soul. She had been wandering the moment she left her body. You know that I can\'t save her soul and body if you suddenly go back to your body. I can see that you are making more progress in your mission." Bam-Bam winked at Abigail after saying those meaningful words. It looked like he was still updated on what was happening between Abigail and Nathan.

Abigail grabbed both his legs and pulled her down so that their eyes would meet at the same level. "Bam-Bam! Don\'t tell me... you are spying on me and Nathan. Did you leave some spying devices in our rooms?" Abigail asked him while eyeing him suspiciously.

Instead of feeling guilty, Bam-Bam let out another loud chuckle. "Ahem. By just looking at your blushing face, I could tell that something happened between the two of you... Haha. Did you kiss again? Or did you go all the way?" Bam-Bam was acting mischievous. He was having these wild fantasies.

Abigail glared at him, raising her two fingers as if she wanted to stab his eyes using her forefinger and middle finger. "Don\'t give me such a perverted look, Bam-Bam!"

Bam-Bam immediately covered his eyes with his two paws. "Don\'t be mad. I am just teasing you. So what\'s up? How are you and Nathan?"

Abigail took a deep sigh. "Something bad happened! Someone stole my body at Nathan\'s Medical Facility."

Abigail just dropped the bomb on Bam-Bam. "What? Someone stole your body?! No wonder I have this nagging feeling. I haven\'t finished finding Abigail\'s soul yet when I thought of returning to check on you."

Abigail exhaled deeply and nodded her head to confirm it. "Yes. That\'s the emergency I was talking about."

After absorbing her words, Bam-Bam blinked his eyes several times, looking at Abigail in amusement.

"Are you not happy? What if the people who took you are your allies? At least, you are no longer being held captive by Nathan. If you succeed with your mission, you can escape from his grasp and he can no longer torture you to death." Bam-Bam summarized the good sides of this incident.

But Abigail wouldn\'t agree to Bam-Bam. She shook her head frantically and explained, "The people who took my body are not my allies! They will just use me for their own benefit. And they are bad guys too... member of another notorious Mafia Group."

"At least, they will not think of torturing you to death unlike Nathan," Bam-Bam retorted.

Abigail pursed her lips. She didn\'t know how she would refute Bam-Bam\'s way of reasoning.

Abigail pinched Bam-Bam\'s cheeks and looked straight into his eyes. "Bam-Bam, do you know how to teleport? Why don\'t you find my body and teleport it to a safe place... a place where no mafia group can find it."

Bam-Bam hit her hands that were pinching his fluffy cheeks. "Aww. Master, stop hurting my poor cheeks."

"I can\'t do that. Have you forgotten? Your body needs life support to continue breathing. Unlike those humans, they have technologies that can sustain your life." Bam-Bam explained once more. "Do you want your body to deterioriate even before you can return your soul?"

"Of course not!" Abigail promptly responded.

"But don\'t worry, I can trace your body and find out where they are hiding it. But are you sure, you don\'t want the other group to take care of your body? Are you planning to help Nathan to get your body back?" Bam-Bam asked her a serious question.

Abigail fell silent for a moment, thinking hard. After a while, Abigail reached a conclusion.

"Yes. I want to get my body back. At least, I can monitor it if my body is in Nathan\'s territory. And I am certain that he is willing to do anything to keep me alive. He still needs me. The only reason he is keeping me alive is his desire to find out who ordered me to kill Monica."

"Okay. If that\'s your decision, I will help you locate your body." Bam-Bam finally gave in to what she wanted.

"Don\'t worry, Bam-Bam. I already find a way on how I will protect my life against Nathan\'s revenge..." Abigail smiled meaningfully.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I only have to unfold some truth about Monica\'s past," Abigail said with conviction.

Bam-Bam: "Eh???"
