Chapter 1317 You Have To Go Back
Despite that, she was still working hard.
Sasha was extremely pleased at this.
It seemed as if this Jetroinian young lady was truly a good pick.
âWhat are you up to?â
She was still in the midst of a fun conversation when Sebastian walked in with her medicine.
At the sight of him walking in, she quickly tucked her phone away.
âNothing. I was just chatting with Sab and the others for a bit.â
âChatting? I thought we already made it clear that you have to rest. Your eyes are already so red.
Remember what Haruto said? You shouldnât be looking at any blue-light screens or electronic devices in
general,â Sebastian said worriedly.
His dark irises were filled with concern but also a hint of anger at the woman in front of him for not
heeding their warnings.
Sasha quickly fell silent.
She lowered her head in both shame but also grievance.
It wasnât like she wanted to purposely go against their advice, but sometimes she just couldnât help it.
Besides, hadnât they already found a way to control the bacteria inside her body?
There was no way she was really going to go blind, right?
âIâm sorry, Sebby. I wonât do it again, so please donât be angry at me.â
All she could do was give in.
Sebastian finally relaxed at her apology. One glance at her reddening eyes had him feeling regret and
heartache, so he reached out to pull her into his embrace.
âIâm sorry. I was too harsh.â
âNo, you werenât. I know youâre doing it for my own good. I wonât look at my phone again, okay?â
Sasha felt even worse at the sound of Sebastian blaming himself and hugged the man back.
âPromise me that youâll listen to whatever the doctors say until we have a proper cure for you?â
Sebastian murmured. âDonât do anything they tell you not to, all right?â
âAll right,â Sasha agreed obediently.
Of course she would agree.
After all, Sebastian had done many things for her. He might not have mentioned any of it, but she knew
about it all.
In order to look for those ingredients, Sebastian had worked himself to the bone. His eyes had become
more sunken in the past few days, and even his pretty charcoal irises couldnât hide the fact that they
were bloodshot.
He must have been utterly exhausted, especially after experiencing so much.
Thatâs why she decided from now on to just listen and do nothing else. She would be good.
Sasha eventually fell asleep in Sebastianâs arms. He tucked her in gently before finally leaving the room.
âMr. Hayes, has Madam fallen asleep?â
âYes.â
âDr. Shoki was looking for you. He said he has something to discuss,â Karl said slightly hesitantly.
He had been standing outside for a while now, and he wasnât sure whether or not he should tell
Sebastian about it.
Ever since Xayden had discovered the bacteriaâs weakness, every single time Haruto had called for
them, it hadnât been good news.
It was either that their experiments had failed once again or that the materials they had scoured the
entire world to find werenât working.
It was to the point that Karl could very clearly see Sebastianâs instinctive reaction to hearing that Haruto
called for them, which was an obvious frown and stress appearing in his darkened gaze.
Despite that, they didnât have any other choice but to go over.
Sebastian finally arrived at Harutoâs office.
âMr. Hayes, after mine and Xaydenâs countless experiments, we have arrived at a decision. Based on the
rate at which your wifeâs body is deteriorating, we donât have time to wait until we find the other materials.
We decided to find the problem from her body itself, and hopefully, we can get to the root cause.â
âThe root cause?â Sebastian frowned. âWhat do you mean?â
âWhat we mean, Mr. Hayes, is that we find what caused this problem in the first place. In this case, itâs
the fetus that was once forced into her womb, so we would like to start from there,â Xayden said.

Sebastian was taken aback by Xaydenâs words.
This was something he hadnât thought of, and also something he was extremely reluctant to touch upon.
It was like a scar that never properly healed and would rip open again at the mere mention of it, fresh
and bloody.
Sebastian fell silent.
âMr. Hayes, have you forgotten where it was left?â
Haruto visibly deflated.
âNo, I remember,â Sebastian said as he shook his head. He remembered Sasha telling him that the child
had been buried under the thousand-year maple tree.
âThatâs good. Bring it over as soon as possible. I know this is hard for you, Mr. Hayes, but based on my
last few days of research, Iâm sure I can find the origin of the bacteria in that childâs bones.â
âYes!â Xayden nodded in agreement.
âBecause Felicity forced that child to be born, she also forced your wifeâs body to go through unnatural
changes. That means that this child is actually one of her experiments, Mr. Hayes.â
The room fell into silence once again.
Finally, Sebastian stood up.
âOkay. Iâll go get it, and Iâll bring it back latest by tomorrow,â he decided.
After that, he walked straight out of the office.
When Karl heard Sebastian walking out, he silently followed behind him up until Sebastian reached the
door of the hospital ward.
