Chapter 1260 When You Cannot Win
Sebastian gently patted Sasha’s head as they headed for the dining room.
The entire dinner was difficult for Sasha. She didn’t have any appetite and was overcome with despair that she wanted to be alone with her thoughts and fears.
Looking at Sebastian, she had to put on a happy front for him so that he wouldn’t notice something was wrong.
That night was the most agonizing night ever for Sasha.
The next morning, she received a call from Grayson. Intending to avoid Sebastian, she intentionally stepped out pretending to go check on Jaena and went downstairs with her phone to take the call.
“Hello?”
“Sasha, I need you to take a deep breath and mentally prepare yourself. After discussing with a few radiologists, we have all concluded that you’ve come into contact with some radioactive source.”
“Radioactive source?”
Sasha’s face paled instantly.
Radioactive source?
When had I come into contact with one? I can’t recall.
Grayson’s next words had triggered her memory.
“Try to recall if you had come into contact with one when Eddie had taken you. His research is about nuclear weapons. Devin had almost died from his nuclear bomb.”
He waited for a few beats, but there was not a single response from Sasha.
At that time, Sasha’s grasp on the phone tightened. Darkness started to engulf her sight.
How could I have forgotten about it?
She didn’t know if the old Durant residence had any of those radioactive sources lying around, but she remembered she was strapped with a nuclear explosive that day.
She recalled she had suffered pain in her entire back and chest.
If underneath the old Durant residence were covered with those dangerous explosives, then it wouldn’t be surprising for her body to be in tatters.
Also, radioactive materials had another terrifying effect. Other than causing harm to humans, they could cause some failed organs to recover their functions to a certain level.
That was the reason cancer patients undergo radioactive therapy.
Then, for her, to had gotten pregnant when she shouldn’t have been able to.
Sasha staggered backward. She would’ve fallen to the ground if it wasn’t for the hands catching her.
“Don’t you know you’re pregnant? You should be more careful.”
It was Sabrina. She was dropping by for a visit with her child.
Sasha tried suppressing her emotions, hoping Sabrina couldn’t catch it. Alas, it was too late. Sabrina had caught a glimpse of Sasha’s pale face and tearful eyes.
“What happened? Why are you crying? I didn’t mean to scold you. I just…”
Sabrina nervously explained, she thought Sasha was crying because of her harsh tone.
But Sasha suddenly wrapped her hands over her head and sat on the floor.
She started crying, but she was holding back her voice.
However, Sabrina could see Sasha’s flowing tears dripping onto the floor, forming tiny puddles.
Sabrina was taken aback by Sasha’s reaction.
Not knowing what to do, she scanned her surrounding for anyone around to help her. Finally, she bent down with her child in her arms to comfort Sasha, seeing as no one was around to help.
“Don’t cry. Tell me what’s wrong. Was it Sebastian? Don’t worry. I’ll go and teach him a lesson now.”
“No!”
Sasha stretched her hand out to stop Sabrina from leaving.
“No. It’s not Sebastian. Sab, I might not be able to deliver this baby safely…” she said truthfully with tears streaming down her face.
Sabrina was stunned by her words.
“Why not? What happened?”
“Because I don’t have it in me…” Tears continued to flow from Sasha’s eyes as she blurted out everything Grayson had told her.
Sasha merely wanted to express her sadness to someone.
She felt lost and didn’t know what to do. She wanted to tell Sebastian but fearing it would be too huge a blow to him, she stopped herself.
Also, he was in a tug of war with Eddie. She was afraid he would lose control if he knew it was all because of that a**hole. He might fall into that a**hole’s trap if he lost control of his emotions.
Sasha was certain it was all that a**hole’s plan.
Sabrina was stunned yet again at Sasha’s revelation.
She hadn’t thought such a huge problem was brewing beneath the peace and quiet at home.
“That a**hole! How could he have treated you with so much cruelty? He’s not even a f**king human for doing that. He couldn’t win against Sebastian, so he decided to use such a method to ruin him instead?”
“What?”
Sasha turned to Sabrina dumbfoundedly.
Ruin?
Oh My Gosh! My mind is just a mess. How have I not thought about that?
That’s right. That f**ker had knowingly used high-intensity nuclear explosives so I could get pregnant. When delight swelled within Sebastian with the news of a new addition to the family, he would take me and my baby’s lives.
Wouldn’t that kill Sebastian’s spirit?
Devin had said Sebastian had almost lost his mind when the museum she was in had exploded. What will happen to him if I really did die along with the child he had anticipated and loved.
Can he take it?
He might just lose it on the spot.
