Nathan confronted Jane about her supposed 'illness', his concern evident in his demeanor. However, Jane remained silent. In reality, the illness she had was nothing more than a fabrication, a deceitful narrative crafted by Bam-Bam. Yet, a darker truth weighed heavily on her conscience.
She was acutely aware that her life hung in the balance, not because of any ailment, but because of the mission she had undertaken—to make Nathan fall in love with her in 100 days. It was a pact she had entered into with Bam-Bam, and the consequences of failure were dire.
"Do you already know about your brain tumor?" Nathan repeated his question.
As Nathan's questioning continued, Jane's thoughts delved deeper into her internal turmoil. 'I am facing the prospect of my own demise, not due to any illness, but rather the failure to accomplish my mission,' she acknowledged silently, refraining from speaking the words aloud.
