And here I thought she’s head over heels in love with him. After all, she even gave up her future just to marry him.
She almost died during surgery when she had the triplets, too. Five years later, she still stuck to Sebastian like glue.
But now she’s saying she hates him?
Sabrina didn’t believe a word Sasha said. “Have you lost your mind? That’s my brother you’re talking about. Are you really dumping him?”
“Yeah.”
Sasha’s heart ached despite her nonchalant reply.
Sabrina was rendered speechless by her answer.
Sabrina had nothing else to say. As she stared at Sasha, the only thing she could do was call her brother immediately and tell him about Sasha’s decision.
Before she could, however, Sasha continued, “If you tell him what I said, I will disappear.”
Sabrina was bewildered by Sasha’s threat.
This woman is definitely crazy!
In the end, she simply left with a dark look on her face.
Hearing the door clicked shut, Sasha merely sat there as she smiled wryly.
At this moment, I don’t want to see him.
Because I’m afraid that I would be reluctant to leave if I saw him.
I have loved him for so many years. And our children are still so young. So how could I leave if I saw them? How could I leave without a heavy heart?
Sasha sat in the dark for a long while before she slowly rolled her wheelchair toward her room for her phone.
A few minutes later, Lance picked up the call.
“Hello?”
“Lennie, it’s me. How are things at your end?”
Sasha’s eyes were red-rimmed with unshed tears when she heard his voice.
Lance, too, was excited upon hearing Sasha’s voice.
“It’s so good to hear from you, Sha. We’re doing fine here. Uncle’s about to be released from prison as well.”
Sasha was both happy and sad at the news.
But at least now, she could let her worries go.
Sasha urged, “Lennie, I won’t be returning any time soon, so I want you to take a pen and write down everything I’m about to tell you. It’s about the number of funds we have left and its uses.”
“Sure. Give me a moment.”
Being a simple man, Lance couldn’t make out Sasha’s unusual behavior. He followed her instructions and wrote down every word she said.
Sasha called her son next.
It was the first time she talked to him after her accident.
“Hello?”
“Little Ian, it’s me. What are you guys doing? Have you had your meal?”
Sasha was barely holding on to the tears in her eyes when she heard Ian’s childish voice.
Ian was bursting with joy upon knowing it was his mother.
“Matteo, Vivian, come quick! Mommy is on the phone. Hurry!” He didn’t answer Sasha’s question but called out to his siblings.
Soon, the triplets gathered around the smartwatch.
“Mommy…”
“Vivi, sweetie. What are you doing?” Sasha was surprised to hear Vivian’s voice.
Vivian started bawling at her question.
“Mommy, where did you go? You didn’t come back to see me. They said something happened to you. I was so worried. When are you coming back? I want to see you.”
Sasha’s felt a stab of pain in her heart hearing her daughter cry.
My sweeties. Every moment I’m awake, I want to hold you as you sleep, tell you stories, and send you to preschool in the morning.
But I can no longer do that.
Tears were streaming down her face at her realization.
Luckily, the boys were there. Even though their eyes were red, they didn’t cry upon hearing their mother’s voice.
“Mommy, it’s Matt.”
“Yes, Matt?”
“Mommy, has Daddy found you? Have the two of you met? He left a month ago.”
Matteo was indeed an intelligent child. The question he asked was crucial.
Sasha didn’t know how to answer him.
She wanted to tell them the truth but was afraid they would be sad by it. If she lied, it would be exposed once they called Sebastian. Then, it might raise Sebastian’s suspicion as well.
Sasha considered her options carefully.
“He did find me. I’m with your Aunt Sabrina right now.”
“Aunt Sabrina?” Matteo instantly turned to Ian, looking perplexed.
However, Ian shrugged to show that he was unaware of it. Since the day Sebastian had sent Sabrina away, her name never popped up anymore.
Nonetheless, from his perspective, as long as their mother was with a family member, it was good news.
