Chapter 1185 She Cried
“Ahem, ahem, ahem…”
A stabbing pain expanded from Sabrina’s chest, and agony was the only thing she felt the moment she woke up. She tried to cough, but that only made the pain even more intense.
“You’re awake. So, how do you feel? Are you fine?” someone asked her gently, but all she could do was cough in response. Seeing that, the man helped her up and let her lean against him.
Only then did Sabrina feel better. Eventually, she opened her eyes, and the first thing she said was, “Devin?”
“I’m here.” Devin nodded gently. He had a gentle personality to begin with, and seeing Sabrina’s injuries made him act gentler than he usually did.
Sabrina was still in a state of shock from the explosion, but his voice calmed her down. “We got out of that alive? Where are we?”
“Yes. We’re at the hospital. Sebastian’s coming over.”
Sebastian? She thought about her brother, who was staying at Oceanic Residence, and she shuddered in Devin’s arms.
The explosion back at Sheerwood residence might not have happened if she didn’t try to take the remote control. After all, before his death, Isaac told her she’d be fine if she stayed in the garage. It was the safest place for her at the time being.
But right after he said that, the explosion happened. He didn’t seem to be lying, so the only explanation was that she pulled the trigger the moment she tried to get her hands on the control.
Oh crap. He’s going to yell at me, isn’t he? He set this whole thing up, but I ruined it.
Sabrina got nervous at the thought of that.
But much to her surprise, the man who came in with her checkup results from a while later wasn’t the person she had in mind. Instead, it was a young man wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
“Why are you—”
“Are the results out?” Devin wasn’t surprised to see him in the hospital. After that man came in, Devin looked at the papers he was holding and asked about Sabrina’s condition.
Solomon nodded. “Yes, and she’s fine, but I suggest that you two stay here and don’t go anywhere. This motherload of an explosion terrorized the whole city. The government’s calming the crowd, but there is no guarantee they won’t do anything. Not to mention Avenport’s not far away, and she’s not exactly a nobody.”
He scoffed at Sabrina, much to her annoyance.
What’s this b*stard doing looking at me like that? Does he want to pick a fight? Oh, someone’s getting ahead of himself, huh?
Sabrina was furious, though it was weird. Sebastian and Solomon were her brothers, but she treated them differently. Sabrina was scared of Sebastian, so she wouldn’t do anything funny around him.
However, when it came to Solomon, all she wanted to do was to kick his butt. And she’d do it for no particular reason. Most probably because she wanted to patch and install her broken dignity through Solomon.
“Sure. She’s all yours for now. I have something else to settle.” Devin stood up. He wanted to go out to settle some stuff.
Sabrina was surprised that he was leaving so soon, but she realized what he wanted to do, so before he left, she asked, “Where are you going? Are you saving his dad and mom?”
She didn’t say Isaac’s name out loud, but she was obviously worried.
Devin stopped in his tracks and turned around a moment later. “No. They’re gone right when that explosion happened. I’m going to deal with the aftermath.”
Sabrina was quiet. She stared at him dumbly, trying to say something, but she couldn’t. No matter what she did, not a word would come out.
So they’re dead as well. After he died, his parents suffered the same fate as he did. Why did it turn out like this?
After all Isaac did, after all that struggle, after all the dirty work he did for those b*stards, he couldn’t save a single person. Not the Whites, not his adopted family, not even himself.
The only person he managed to save was Sabrina.
Sabrina slowly stared down. She tugged at the blanket and slowly pulled her knees up until she could bury her head between them. A moment later, Solomon and Devin saw her burying her head between her knees and burst into tears.
It was the first time she cried for Isaac. She never loved him, but he left an indelible mark in her heart with that explosive, heartbreaking death. She knew she would never forget him for the rest of her life.
Devin came out of the hospital, while Solomon followed behind.
“Don’t blame her. Isaac’s a b*stard, but he truly loved her.”
“I know.” Devin smiled, saying that he didn’t mind.
Solomon heaved a sigh of relief.
“So what now? Are you going to talk to the cops? They have Rosie and Seamus’ bodies. But I don’t think for you to show your face. Why don’t I do it for you? It’s better that way.”
Devin stopped for a moment to dwell on the matter.
