Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover Chapter 1261
Chapter 1261 A Painful Decision
Sabrina’s words had enlightened Sasha. In an instant, she wiped off her tears and stood up right away.
“What are you doing?” Sabrina asked her apprehensively.
“I need to leave this place. Since Sebastian is settling a score with Eddie, I must keep mum from him about this matter so he will not be distracted. I will find a temporary place to stay and get the matter resolved first,” Sasha explained resolutely.
In a blink of an eye, it was as though she had thought it through and found a new path. The utter sorrow and helplessness in her eyes moments ago were prevailed by a hint of determination.
Sabrina was dumbfounded and asked quizzically, “What do you mean? Are you going to settle it by yourself? How do you think you can get it resolved?”
Sasha stared into the distance and mumbled, “I’m sure there will be a way out. After all, I’m a doctor myself. However, it will be a different case for him. I’m worried that he won’t be able to take it and will get worked up easily if he happens to know about it any time now. That will certainly exacerbate the situation.”
Sabrina was at a loss for words to refute her.
Undeniably, she shared the same sentiment with Sasha. That could be one of Eddie’s ploys to send Sebastian into a tizzy and weaken his stamina in fighting against him. Thus, she ended up giving in to Sasha.
After Sebastian and Devin were back from the Naval Force two days later, Sasha went to see him.
“Sebby, can I stay at Aquene Temple temporarily?” Sasha asked warily.
“Aquene Temple? Why are you thinking of going there? Don’t you feel like staying at home?” Sebastian was in bafflement.
“Take it easy. Since I’m still in my first trimester, I’m thinking of praying there for blessing. Besides, it’s getting warmer lately. Thus, the temple is a more cooling and ideal place for me throughout my pregnancy,” Sasha replied analytically.
Meanwhile, Sabrina was holding Jaena’s hands and teaching her to walk. When Sebastian was about to say something, she advanced toward them with her child.
“Yeah, good idea. Come, let’s go together. It’s a pity that poor Jaena has been having heat rashes all over her body lately. What to do? Her daddy never really cares about her. I’m going to get him to send us over.” She carried Jaena up and walked away to look for her man! It sounded as if she was helping to convince Sebastian in a way.
Meanwhile, Sebastian felt his temples starting to throb. After quite a while, he finally nodded reluctantly, giving the green light to Sasha.
Therefore, Sasha set off to the temple with Sabrina and Jaena the following day.
Shin welcomed them with open arms and arranged for them to stay in the rooms they had stayed in before. Apart from that, he kept the room next to Sasha’s empty, especially for her.
Other than going to the medical storage room in the temple every day, Sasha spent most of her time conducting experiments for her body painstakingly in that empty room. Two weeks after she had consumed the medicine delivered by Xayden from Miralaea and had acupuncture for herself persistently, she finally found that her pregnancy pulse was gone.
“S-So the baby’s gone?” Sabrina stammered alongside her with Jaena.
Even though she had foreseen the sorrowful moment ever since Sasha started consuming the medicine and having acupuncture for herself, she could not resist feeling a prickle of grief.
Needless to say, Sasha was grief-stricken. Her heart wrenched the moment she confirmed that her pulse rate during pregnancy was gone. After all, the baby was her own flesh and blood! Sadly, she could not let the embryo continue growing in her womb!
It had been no easy feat to talk herself into getting a grip on herself for the painful decision. Since she had conceived abnormally, it was wishful thinking to bear a healthy child. Thus, she had no choice but to put things to an end.
Sasha shut her eyes in distress. After quite a while, she dragged herself to the bed aside and lay down in weariness.
“Give Grayson a call. Bear in mind not to let Sebastian find out about this,” she told Sabrina.
“I know what to do.” Sabrina stepped out with tears welling up in her eyes.
A few hours later, Grayson reached hastily with two assistants, bringing his medical kit and surgery tools.
Sasha was already waiting for him in the hut outside the temple. She did not wish to cast any stain on the holiness of the temple unintentionally.
“Where is she?” Grayson asked Sabrina breathlessly.
She pointed at the big maple tree with teary eyes, gesturing to him that Sasha was in the hut.
Grayson felt a rush of complex emotions as he looked in the direction. His heart ached uncontrollably when he imagined how he had to end a baby’s life alongside the old maple tree.
By the time Grayson stepped out from the hut again, it was already more than two hours later. When an ashen-faced Sabrina was about to go over to check on Sasha, an elderly’s muffled voice sounded abruptly from her back. “Please bring this over to her.”
Sabrina turned and was surprised that Shin was just right behind her. He handed her a black singing bowl crafted with sacred words.
“Master…” Sabrina looked at him hesitantly.
“Go ahead and tell her not to dwell on the disgruntling moment. The baby’s soul will be blessed and rest in peace,” he mumbled and chanted briefly.
Sabrina recalled how Sebastian had mentioned that Shin was not a real monk as he was forced to be one.
Nonetheless, it meant no difference for Shin. The moment he made up his mind to put worldly matters out of his mind, there was inner peace within himself regardless of where he was.
Ever since Frieda was gone forever, others expected that he would not be able to get over the loss of his beloved wife for the rest of his life. Even so, things turned out the other way around.
