Meanwhile, in a quieter hallway of the hospital building, Sebastian shot a ferocious look at Devin.
“What’s the matter with you? You’ve turned into a completely different person after leaving Jadeborough. Did your parents’ death somehow mess with your brain? Or did you do it on purpose to get back at me?”
Infuriated, Sebastian reprimanded his cousin.
Devin boiled with fury after listening to him.
“What the hell are you saying?”
“Am I wrong? For goodness’ sake, Devin, you’re a commander. You’re always dealing with the most malicious criminals and have never even lost once. Why were you unable to spot the woman’s schemes? Why, Devin?”
Sebastian reached out and poked Devin’s chest.
As Devin looked at the finger that was pointing right at his chest, a hint of panic flashed across his eyes.
No, it’s not that I am oblivious to the woman’s evil deeds!
I’ve known it all along. Otherwise, why would I order Henrick to investigate Shanae?
Moreover, if I was truly oblivious, I wouldn’t have sided with Sabrina when Kira’s leg was chopped off.
So, why did Devin choose not to expose the woman?
“I’m just going to say it then. You have never intended to expose her. You’re just using that b*tch to infuriate my sister so that she will stay as far away from you as possible. You’re only able to live with yourself by telling yourself that you’re not rejecting her because she’s a Hayes! Instead, you’re trying to convince yourself that you’re staying away from her because she’s an unreasonable and demanding woman!”
“You…”
“Don’t for a second think that I don’t know you’re only doing all these just because she’s a Hayes! You’ve never gotten over that fact. Devin, do you know who you look like right now? Your hypocrisy and brazenness are exactly like that of your mother.”
Slap!
In the end, the man who was shaking with fury slapped Sebastian across the face.
Sebastian’s face twisted to one side from the sheer momentum, and the hallway fell into pin-drop silence.
Oh, is he getting mad now? Because I’ve just exposed the truth about his hypocrisy?
Sebastian licked the corner of his lips, which was seeping with blood. Sniggering, he turned around to leave.
Devin was rendered speechless.
There was a moment when he truly felt like reaching out and grabbing at Sebastian.
However, he could not summon any strength as his hands shook uncontrollably. In the end, he stood grounded as he watched Sebastian leave.
Devin had never felt this miserable before.
After all, he had always been an outstanding child growing up. Even when he became an adult, he was still a role model whom people look up to. His image to others was impeccable.
That was until now.
After Sebastian reprimanded him, he felt buck naked and embarrassed as a sense of remorse washed over him.
Sebastian was right.
Meanwhile, Sebastian headed toward the ward from the hallway.
“Mr. Hayes, are you all right?”
“I’m fine.”
He wiped away the bloodstain on the corner of his lips forcefully as he peered into the ward.
The woman inside was no longer screaming. Instead, she could only let out muted cries as she shuffled helplessly on the ground on all fours.
What is Sasha doing inside?
He furrowed his brows uneasily and asked, “What happened inside?”
The two soldiers did not know how to answer him.
After some time, they finally answered hesitantly, “Mr. Jadeson, I think it’s best if you don’t enter the ward first… Mrs. Jadeson doesn’t seem to believe that the woman inside has gone mad. She’s testing her.”
The vein near his forehead twitched in response as he turned around to leave in silence.
All right then, I might as well let her have some fun. Meanwhile, I can take the time to sort the mess on my face so that she doesn’t worry about me.
After he left, Kira let out another sharp shriek that could make one’s hair stand on end. The two soldiers hurriedly turned their heads to one side as cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
“Have you thought it through? Are you going to tell me how Shanae died now?”
In the ward, Sasha opened the voice recorder application on her smartphone as she crossed her hands in front of her chest. Then she looked down on the woman who was groveling at her feet.
The truth was, Sasha did not wish to take her life just yet.
She merely stopped the blood from flowing to the few vital points on Kira’s lower body.
Hence, Kira could only crawl on the floor like a dog. However, each step she took would be accompanied by a sharp pain in her stiff lower body, tormenting her to no end.
“You… You are a bad woman…”
She’s still keeping up the act, huh?
Sasha finally lost all patience and stepped on Kira’s legs in a swift motion. Then she took the needle in her hand and pierced it into Kira’s suture point on her broken leg.
