Devin clasped her wrist tightly.
His eyes were brimming with tears. Afraid that she would disappear from his life again, the man was so perturbed that even his voice was quavered with fear.
He was so tense that he could have a mental breakdown any second.
Much to his relief, Sabrina gradually turned to look at him again after he spoke.
“Affection? What affection?”
“I love you since the moment I saw you!” Devin finally blurted out his confession with no hesitation, gazing at her unflinchingly.
Sabrina was stunned.
She felt as if every sound around them had faded away. Sitting motionless, she gaped blankly at the man with a befuddled mind.
Never in her wildest dream had she expected him to say the three words.
He said he loves me.
From the moment he saw me.
His abrupt love confession mended her broken heart and breathed life back into her soul.
When she regained her composure, she was in the consultation room again. This time, Devin stood beside her as he told the doctor the truth.
“Doctor, we forgot to tell you she donated her bone marrow once while carrying this baby.”
“What did you just say? She donated her bone marrow?”
The doctor looked astonished.
Devin’s heart sank.
After a brief pause, he continued. “Yes. Doctor, if the baby can’t be saved, please prioritize my wife’s life. Her health is the most important thing.”
“Sure!”
The doctor flashed him an approving smile.
In the meantime, Sabrina was sitting beside him. Her fingers curled instinctively, and her vision blurred as a lump formed in her throat.
Thirty minutes later, when the two left the hospital, Sabrina was much calmer.
Devin started the car, glanced at his phone, and asked, “I heard Sasha is here. Do you want to head to Oceanic Estate or Red Pavilion?”
Sabrina’s heart skipped a beat, and her eyes flicked to look at him.
“Red Pavilion?”
“Or we can go to Oceanic Estate.”
Sensing her reluctance, he told her he wouldn’t force her to follow him home.
It was never about my willingness to follow him back but whether he wants me in his house. After all, Sebastian caused his parents’ death.
Sabrina was in a dilemma for about ten seconds before she answered timidly, “Since she’s here, let’s go to Oceanic Estate.”
In the end, she chose Oceanic Estate.
However, she used Sasha as an excuse to go to Oceanic Estate because the latter was there.
Devin was unfazed. He nodded and headed for Oceanic Estate.
At Oceanic Estate.
Sasha had found out everything from Janice, but one thing puzzled her.
“Did you say Devin has been staying outside for the past six months?”
“Yeah, it’s been a long while since I last saw him. This time, he came back with Sabrina, and she’s pregnant! Everyone at Oceanic Estate was shocked.”
Janice was amused at her recollection of the day Devin came back.
Sasha was dumbfounded.
How can this be? Sebastian told me Devin has lived in Jadeborough for six months. To lie low and escape troubles, he hasn’t taken on any mission and has been training the army. How could he not be at Oceanic Estate?
The woman was bewildered.
Before she could figure it out, Sabrina and Devin came back.
“Sab, you’re back. How are you?”
Sasha was the first to welcome them.
The moment she saw the baby bump on the woman in black, an inexplicable feeling washed over her.
She has kept me in the dark perfectly!
“I’m tired. I’m going upstairs to rest.”
Not wanting to see Sasha’s embarrassed smiley face, Sabrina glared at the former before she entered the elevator.
Sasha was speechless.
She had no choice but to focus her attention on Devin, who was still in the living room.
“Devin, how’s she now?”
“She’s not doing well. When she donated her bone marrow, her health was adversely affected. Now, the baby’s vitals are below standard. Sasha, do you have any idea what to do?”
He pinned his hope on his sister-in-law.
Sasha froze for a moment.
I didn’t know about this. What is going to happen to her and her baby?
Her expression turned solemn at once. “Okay, give me some time. I’ll contact Haruto. With my TCM knowledge and his medical expertise, I believe there’s a way to help her.”
