“Ms. Hayes, did you notice something?” the bodyguard asked when he realize she was staring intently.
Sabrina didn’t reply.
For a fleeting moment, she felt the urge to expose the perpetrator. Whoever dared to harm her had to pay.
However, the thought of her suffering brother in the room behind them caused her to hold her tongue. Swallowing her words, her clenched fingers began to relax.
“Mmm-hmm. I’m done with it. I might have fallen by accident as I had too much to drink yesterday.”
“I see. In that case, please have a good rest.”
The bodyguards didn’t suspect anything further after watching the video feeds.
With that, they took their leave.
As for Sabrina, she stayed back and waited for Sebastian to calm down in the room.
She knew she had to endure whatever that was thrown at her. Only by doing so could she stay back and care for her brother.
Feeling tormented, she took out her phone.
Sabrina: How was your operation? Was it successful?
A long while passed before a voice clip was received.
Sabrina put it on speaker.
Sasha replied, “Yes it was. But, I can’t open my eyes yet. So, I’m sending you voice messages instead.”
“That’s good. You should rest if it’s not convenient to talk.”
Meanwhile, over at Jetroina, Sasha had her face bandaged and was barely able to speak. When she realized Sabrina was going to end their conversation, she quickly sent another recording over. “Wait, how are things at your end? Is your brother… all right?”
Yes, how is he? It’s been five days since then. Will he be able to resist his addiction?
As a doctor, Sasha was cognizant about how hard it was. Hence, she was extremely worried.
However, she didn’t expect Sabrina to send her a voice message all of a sudden.
“Sasha, will you sing a song with me?”
Sasha was stumped.
“Anything will do. Someone set me up in this wretched place. The f*cking Jadesons are terrible people. So, sing a song to comfort me please.”
Together with the voice message, she attached a picture of her hands being wrapped with bandages.
Sasha was outraged by the picture.
Those animals!
After taking a moment to calm down, Sasha brought up her phone and began to record a song, enduring the pain while singing.
“Waiting for the time to pass you by, Hope the winds of change will change your mind…”
As Sasha’s therapeutic voice rang out from the phone, it felt as if she was holding one’s face and lifting one out of the dark abyss.
Lifting one’s head, one could see and be captivated by how her eyes sparkled.
Meanwhile, the roars in the bedroom gradually stopped. As Sebastian curled up on the ground like a trapped beast, he pricked his ears and began listening intently.
It sounded familiar to him.
In fact, it felt as if the most important person in the world to him was calling out gently to him. Encouraging him to stand up and continue moving forward to where she was waiting for him…
“I could give a thousand reasons, but you’re going,
and you know that…”
“Sasha…”
With his bloody lips, Sebastian finally called out her name before losing consciousness.
After that, the room finally fell silent.
That day was when his attack lasted the shortest.
The doctor was thrilled by the progress. At the same time, Sabrina grabbed her phone from the window and rushed in when she realized how effective it was.
……
Meanwhile, Kira was feeling unsettled over the last two days.
Worried about being found out, she didn’t dare to visit Oceanic Estate until she heard that Devin had returned.
She gave the housemaid at Red Pavilion a call. “Has Devin gone to Oceanic Estate?”
“Yes, he has. Ms. Kira, aren’t you going over? Mrs. Jadeson has been complaining that you haven’t been visiting Oceanic Estate lately.”
The housemaid conveyed Jasmine’s thoughts.
If it were any other time, Kira would have readily rejected it with a random excuse.
But this time, Devin would be there.
The thought of Sabrina throwing herself at Devin wantonly caused Kira to grab her bag and hurry out.
Forty minutes later, she arrived at Oceanic Estate. When she saw the familiar olive-green jeep parked outside, her heart skipped a beat before she entered.
“Ms. Kira, welcome.”
“Mmm-hmm, where are Old Mr. Jadeson and the rest?”
She didn’t dare to enquire about Devin. Hence, she asked about Jonathan instead.
The housemaid pointed at the back of the castle. “They are at the training room. Mr. Hayes has been able to move in the last two days. Hence, Old Mr. Jadeson has begun his physical training gradually.”
“Alright.”
With that, Kira headed to the training room.
However, the moment she arrived, she was shocked to find Devin and Sabrina fighting tooth and nail inside instead of Sebastian.
At the same time, Jonathan was watching excitedly by the side.
