“Dr. West, I was merely trying not to embarrass you!” Finally, Tony’s patience snapped.
What is he trying to imply by saying that I don’t have a husband? Isn’t my husband Mr. Hayes?
After Sasha was driven out of the room, she fumed in rage. Initially, she’d expected things to go smooth-sailing; yet, everything turned out to be a massive disaster.
What should I do now? Am I really going to leave like this?
Sasha looked to the side and saw her teary-eyed daughter. Determinedly, she pulled out her phone and sent a WhatsApp message.
Macy texted: Mr. Hayes, are you there? Earlier, your Grandpa drove me out. He claims that I’m not curing you. But the truth is the exact opposite. I have been putting all my energy into making sure you recover. Besides, you’ve begun to show signs of improvement too. Can you convince him to let me back in?
In order to return, Sasha poured her heart out into the message and pled for Sebastian’s help.
Soon after her WhatsApp message was sent, Sasha received a reply that made her heart sink with despair.
Sebastian: This has nothing to do with me.
Macy: Mr. Hayes?
Sasha could not believe her eyes. How can he be so cruel? I thought that our relationship was improving since we got along so well. He even flew all the way to Jetroina to bring me back. I can’t believe that he sent me such a heartless message.
Immediately, Sasha’s eyes reddened with sorrow.
Earlier at the Oceanic Estate, Sasha hadn’t been particularly affected despite the butler’s harsh and cruel insults.
On the other hand, Sebastian’s cold reply made her upset immediately.
Macy: Mr. Hayes, I am your family doctor. How is this unrelated to you? You have the authority to decide whether I stay or leave.
Once again, Sasha humbled herself in an attempt to receive Sebastian’s help.
But this time, she did not receive a reply to her message.
It was as if she was talking to him in real life. Whenever he didn’t want to listen to her words, he would glance in another direction and ignore her existence.
After his stony silence, Sasha’s hopes vanished into thin air.
She rested her head against the steering wheel as tears began to stream down her cheeks.
Vivian, who caught sight of her Mommy’s tears, felt a sense of frustration.
Initially, she wanted to contact her brothers for help. But after the siblings started staying together, her brothers stopped giving her any communication devices. How am I supposed to contact them now? Matt, Ian, Mommy is getting bullied again!
In the midst of her frustrations, Vivian burst into tears too.
Unbeknownst to the mother-daughter duo, Sebastian wasn’t at the Oceanic Estate. Before the sun had even risen, Jonathan had dragged him to the army.
After Jonathan noticed that Sebastian had recovered, he insisted on bringing Sebastian here to train and strengthen his body.
“Ouch!” With a pained grunt, Sebastian collided against the ground again.
In the blink of an eye, Sebastian’s forehead was drenched with sweat.
“Mark, he’s a total newbie when it comes to this sort of harsh training. Aren’t you being too rough on him? You have to be careful not to push him beyond his limits,” the training instructor called out.
“It’s fine. Just keep an eye on him. Old Mr. Jadeson said that his body deteriorated after suffering from a severe illness that plagued him twice. This sort of training will be perfect for him to regain his health.” Mark replied nonchalantly.
At the same time, Mark shot a glance at the man who still had his phone and suitcase in his clutches.
With that, the training instructor let out a sigh of relief. “Since it’s Old Mr. Jadeson’s request, we should follow it. How long do you plan to keep him here?”
“Is three months enough?”
“That’s more than enough!” Old Mr. Jadeson must be planning to keep this man temporarily here.
Left without another choice, Sasha decided to look for Devin.
Jadeborough was empty now. After Calvin’s death, Karl and Sabrina brought his body back for a proper burial and never set foot in Jadeborough ever since.
Devin, who’d caught wind of this matter out of the blue, hurried over with a shocked look painted across his face. “Is he insane? He even drove you away?” Devin exclaimed.
“Don’t blame him. I overstepped my boundaries and failed to control my actions. Right now, my only concern is that there will be no one in the Oceanic Estate to look after him. If I don’t tend to him, any progress made in his recovery will revert to its original state,” Sasha explained her greatest worry to Devin after she gathered her composure.
Devin himself was deep in thought. How can I help her? The only viable method is to devise a plan to help her reenter Oceanic Estate.
Yet, Sasha and Devin were unaware that just as they met, the mysterious figure who’d been tracking Devin noticed the duo too.
The man, who had his gaze fixated intensely on the picture hung on the wall, snapped out of his daze when he heard the report. Earlier, he was fuming over the failure of his second plan. “A family doctor? Who is she?” the man asked curiously.
“She is Sebastian’s family doctor. She was the one who discovered that the candy shop was contaminated with poison.” The figure crouched outside explained hastily.
“Are you sure it’s her?”
“I’m sure.” At the same time, the man outside handed over a picture with trembling fingers.
Behind the curtain, the man took the picture and glanced at it. When he caught sight of the woman, his gaze narrowed before a wide grin spread across his face. “It turned out to be her,” the man mused.
The figure outside noticed a change in the man’s tone. Immediately, he looked up and asked hesitantly, “B-boss, you recognize her?”
However, the man did not offer a response.
After he observed the picture for a little longer, he set it aside. Under the sunlight streaming in from the window, a trace of glee was present in the man’s amber-colored eyes. Of course, I’d recognize her. How could I not? I must have been overworking myself. After all, how could I forget such an important person?
