Chapter 1260 When You Cannot Win
Sebastian gently patted Sashaâs head as they headed for the dining room.
The entire dinner was difficult for Sasha. She didnât 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 wouldnât 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.
âHello?â
âSasha, I need you to take a deep breath and mentally prepare yourself. After discussing with a few
radiologists, we have all concluded that youâve come into contact with some radioactive source.â
âRadioactive source?â
Sashaâs face paled instantly.
Radioactive source?
When had I come into contact with one? I canât recall.
Graysonâs next words had triggered her memory.
âTry 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.â
He waited for a few beats, but there was not a single response from Sasha.
At that time, Sashaâs grasp on the phone tightened. Darkness started to engulf her sight.
How could I have forgotten about it?
She didnât 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 wouldnât
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 shouldnât have been able to.
Sasha staggered backward. She wouldâve fallen to the ground if it wasnât for the hands catching her.
âDonât you know youâre pregnant? You should be more careful.â
It was Sabrina. She was dropping by for a visit with her child.
Sasha tried suppressing her emotions, hoping Sabrina couldnât catch it. Alas, it was too late. Sabrina
had caught a glimpse of Sashaâs pale face and tearful eyes.
âWhat happened? Why are you crying? I didnât mean to scold you. I justâ¦â
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 Sashaâs flowing tears dripping onto the floor, forming tiny puddles.
Sabrina was taken aback by Sashaâs 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.
âDonât cry. Tell me whatâs wrong. Was it Sebastian? Donât worry. Iâll go and teach him a lesson now.â
âNo!â
Sasha stretched her hand out to stop Sabrina from leaving.
âNo. Itâs not Sebastian. Sab, I might not be able to deliver this baby safelyâ¦â she said truthfully with
tears streaming down her face.
Sabrina was stunned by her words.
âWhy not? What happened?â
âBecause I donât have it in meâ¦â Tears continued to flow from Sashaâs eyes as she blurted out
everything Grayson had told her.
Sasha merely wanted to express her sadness to someone.
She felt lost and didnât 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**holeâs trap if he lost control of his emotions.
Sasha was certain it was all that a**holeâs plan.
Sabrina was stunned yet again at Sashaâs revelation.
She hadnât thought such a huge problem was brewing beneath the peace and quiet at home.
âThat a**hole! How could he have treated you with so much cruelty? Heâs not even a f**king human for
doing that. He couldnât win against Sebastian, so he decided to use such a method to ruin him
instead?â
âWhat?â
Sasha turned to Sabrina dumbfoundedly.
Ruin?
Oh My Gosh! My mind is just a mess. How have I not thought about that?
Thatâs 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 babyâs lives.
Wouldnât that kill Sebastianâs 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.
