Chapter 1526 Death Is Inevitable
Finally, a huge burden was lifted off the shoulders of Sasha and her family when issues about the deal
drew to a close.
Sebastian was exceptionally relieved. He was swamped with work during the busy period and lost
some weight as a result. Hence, Sasha was thinking of taking a breather by planning for a fall vacation
for both of them.
Sabrina texted: Youâre going on a trip? Then, who is going to manage the bar? I canât do it, and Ichika is
in Avenport. So, are we going to shut down the business?
As soon as Sabrina heard the news at the comfort of her own home at Red Pavilion, she grumbled
immediately.
Upon receiving her text, Sasha immediately replied: Itâs a short one to relax for several days. Weâll be
back before you know it.
Ichika responded: Where are you going, Sha? Are you swinging by Avenport? Itâs been ages since we
last met. I miss you so much!
Ichika, who had been quiet for a long time, appeared suddenly in the chat group with an invitation to the
couple.
Avenport?
Sasha was rather tempted.
That sounds good. After all, itâs the place where we grew up. The weather is great, and our relatives are
there. Wouldnât it be wonderful to pay a visit again?
Upon hanging up, Sasha went upstairs to look for Sebastian, only to see him scribbling something at his
desk.
She approached him to take a closer look and realized that he was drawing a familiar map.
âW-Why are you drawing the temple? Are you thinking what Iâm thinking?â
âThe time bomb needs to be diffused. Moreover, the radiation emitted from the underground lab is very
harmful to the monks. Itâs going to spell trouble if anyone accidentally walks into it,â he frowned and said
while sketching.
Staring at that man, Sasha gulped, completely lost for words.
Heâs becoming less and less like himself. In the past, he was always the heartless guy with a God-like
presence who never cared about anything other than himself.
Now, heâs like a totally different personâone who is concerned about the safety of others. Is it true that
people change and become more thoughtful as they age? But heâs only thirty-five.
Sasha decided to leave him alone and strode to the kitchen to prepare him some nutritious food instead.
Two days later, Sebastian went up to the mountains with Sasha.
While the couple was gone for half a month, Sasha had Tillie man the bar since the latter was in
Jadeborough and had time to spare.
Then, it was fall. The temperature in Jadeborough dropped significantly. As age caught up with him,
Jonathanâs health deteriorated.
Devin messaged: Sebastian, Grandpa fainted, and heâs in the hospital now. When are you coming over?
Sasha and Sebastian were enjoying some tasty barbecued wild mushrooms when Devinâs message
interrupted their tranquil night.
She noticed Sebastianâs creased forehead as he put down the fork and read the text message.
Feeling curious, Sasha asked, âWhatâs wrong? Something happened?â
Sebastian nodded. âHmm. Grandpa is in the hospital. Letâs pack up now and make a move.â
Then, he got himself ready hastily.
Hearing so, Sasha wasted no time before they both made their way to the door.
âHang on, donât we need to inform Master, Sebby?â
âWhatever for?â Sebastian refused without a second of thought.
Panic-stricken, Sasha held him back and requested that he wait for her in the courtyard while she hurried
over to knock at Shinâs door.
âItâs late at night. Is there anything that I can help you with, Mrs. Hayes?â
âMaster, weâve just received news that Grandpa fainted back home and has been rushed to the hospital.
Do you want to come with us?â Sasha said anxiously while staring at the monk who answered the door.
A long silence ensued.
The monk turned pale and froze in the dim glow of a night lamp.
Though a monk was supposed to let go of any emotional attachments and entanglements in life, it was
usually easier said than done. How many could genuinely practice the ultimate cessation of desires and
wants?
I donât think his religion will force him to detach himself from those who mean a lot to him. Anyhow, blood
is thicker than water.
In the end, Shin left for the hospital alongside the Hayes couple.
When they arrived, Jonathan was still in the operating theater.
Cerebral thrombosisâ¦
Graysonâs suspicion put all the Jadesons in low spirits.
With his gaze fixated on the tightly shut doors of the operating theater, Shinâs callused hands were seen
clasping onto the prayer beads hung in front of his chest.
After three hours of ordeal, the light at the operating theater finally went out.
Sebastian and Devin quickly rose to their feet and darted forward.
