He had received her message but did not reply to it.
He reached for the keyboard on his phone, but he was at a loss for words. After hovering over the keyboard for a while, he finally typed a word.
Devin: Sabrina.
The moment he sent out his message, a red exclamation mark appeared on the chat.
Devin was dumbfounded.
After a few seconds, he came to a sudden realization. At once, he felt like a bucket of ice water was poured down his head, freezing him from head to toe. His expression paled as he looked at the exclamation mark.
It turned out that she had blocked him.
Time flew by quickly, and it was almost midnight. The hospital was eerily quiet, and the lights in the garden seemed to have darkened. Even the humidity that permeated the air seemed palpable.
Touching his cold face, he finally stood up from the bench and dragged himself into the hospital lobby.
“Major, where were you?”
He was slightly surprised to see a subordinate rushing toward him immediately.
Devin’s lips twitched a little, and he wanted to respond but could not utter a word due to his parched throat.
The subordinate continued, “Ms. Hayes is here, Major. Did you see her when you were outside? She has already gone to Solomon’s intensive care unit.”
“What did you say?” he asked in a hoarse voice.
There was finally a hint of emotion on his impassive face.
The subordinate pulled him toward the lobby. “Take a look. Isn’t that her? She has been standing there for quite some time. Did you not know?”
Having said that, the subordinate pointed in the direction of the third floor where the intensive care unit was situated.
Devin was speechless.
The next second, blood rushed to his head as he quickly ran upstairs.
This was also the first time he had ever run so eagerly to that woman.
It was indeed Sabrina.
She had reached the hospital a while ago after renting a helicopter in Clear.
Upon arriving at the hospital, she had passed by the garden in front of the hospital and saw Devin sitting on the bench. However, she had walked past him without a second glance at the man.
Then, she came to the intensive care unit.
The weather was cold during the nights of Turlen. It was rare to see Sabrina wearing a black coat and a black beret on her head.
She was standing in front of the glass window, looking at Solomon who was on the ventilator.
What kind of feeling is this?
The truth was that she was unsure.
She only remembered the woman who ruined her family. Sabrina had hated the woman since she was little and would scold the latter every time she came to their house decked in lavish clothes.
Therefore, when she found out that she had a son, she hated him too.
Especially when they were the ones to blame for her father’s death and also the ones who almost killed her. Naturally, her hatred for them ran deep.
However, everything seemed to have ended once and for all.
The evil woman had died in the hands of her beloved son.
As for her son, he was lying in front of her, about to disappear forever from this world in a few days.
But why don’t I feel happy?
She slowly raised her hand and placed it on the glass window, with her pale and slender fingers covering his familiar face
His facial features were clearer after his glasses were removed. When she glanced over at him, she thought she was seeing her father instead.
That’s right. No one noticed that Solomon looked like Dad since he was always wearing glasses. Perhaps he did not want people to notice it, or maybe he didn’t want himself resembling Dad.
Right then, Sabrina’s gaze fell on his neck, which was fully wrapped in gauze. Finally, as an old face full of wrinkles overlapped with Solomon’s youthful one, her eyes turned misty as tears began to stream down her cheeks.
“Sabrina?”
Suddenly, someone called her name from her right side.
Her tears stopped flowing instantly when she heard it. She took another serious look at the man in the intensive care unit before slowly letting her hand down.
Seeing that, Devin suppressed his excitement and slowly walked over to her.
“When did you reach? I was going to get in touch with you but—”
Slap!
No one had expected Sabrina to suddenly turn around and raise her hand to slap Devin as he was explaining.
At once, the air around them became still, and the world fell silent.
The tension in the air at that moment was so dense that it was almost palpable.
Shocked by the slap, his mind went blank as his face stayed tilted to the side for a long time.
It was the first time he had been slapped.
“This slap is for my brother. He must have been blind to trust a person like you,” Sabrina’s eyes were bloodshot as she said through gritted teeth.
Before Devin could react, she lifted her hand and gave herself a slap.
Slap!
The sound was as clear as the first slap. Her face was swollen immediately, and a slap mark appeared on her face.
Devin was utterly stunned. “What are you doing? Are you crazy?”
However, Sabrina let out a cold laugh. Chills ran down Devin’s spine at the sound of it.
“This slap is for me. I must have been blind to like a man like you. Devin, for now on, I have nothing to do with you. If I ever take another look at you, I will dig out my own eyes!”
