And here I thought sheâs 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 sheâs saying she hates him?
Sabrina didnât believe a word Sasha said. âHave you lost your mind? Thatâs my brother youâre talking
about. Are you really dumping him?â
âYeah.â
Sashaâs 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 Sashaâs decision.
Before she could, however, Sasha continued, âIf you tell him what I said, I will disappear.â
Sabrina was bewildered by Sashaâs 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 donât want to see him.
Because Iâm 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.
âHello?â
âLennie, itâs me. How are things at your end?â
Sashaâs eyes were red-rimmed with unshed tears when she heard his voice.
Lance, too, was excited upon hearing Sashaâs voice.
âItâs so good to hear from you, Sha. Weâre doing fine here. Uncleâs about to be released from prison as
well.â
Sasha was both happy and sad at the news.
But at least now, she could let her worries go.
Sasha urged, âLennie, I wonât be returning any time soon, so I want you to take a pen and write down
everything Iâm about to tell you. Itâs about the number of funds we have left and its uses.â
âSure. Give me a moment.â
Being a simple man, Lance couldnât make out Sashaâs 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.
âHello?â
âLittle Ian, itâs me. What are you guys doing? Have you had your meal?â
Sasha was barely holding on to the tears in her eyes when she heard Ianâs childish voice.
Ian was bursting with joy upon knowing it was his mother.
âMatteo, Vivian, come quick! Mommy is on the phone. Hurry!â He didnât answer Sashaâs question but
called out to his siblings.
Soon, the triplets gathered around the smartwatch.
âMommyâ¦â
âVivi, sweetie. What are you doing?â Sasha was surprised to hear Vivianâs voice.
Vivian started bawling at her question.
âMommy, where did you go? You didnât 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.â
Sashaâs felt a stab of pain in her heart hearing her daughter cry.
My sweeties. Every moment Iâm 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 didnât cry upon hearing their
motherâs voice.
âMommy, itâs Matt.â
âYes, Matt?â
âMommy, has Daddy found you? Have the two of you met? He left a month ago.â
Matteo was indeed an intelligent child. The question he asked was crucial.
Sasha didnât 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 Sebastianâs suspicion as well.
Sasha considered her options carefully.
âHe did find me. Iâm with your Aunt Sabrina right now.â
âAunt Sabrina?â 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.
