Sebastian raised his hand and slapped himself.
Half an hour later, Sabrina called again.
âI found her. She was at the beach. Someone rescued her.â
Sebastianâs hand on the steering wheel trembled at the news, causing him to almost crash into the
railing.
He had never thought that Sasha would act like this one day.
Sebastian felt as though he was losing his mind. He stepped on the gas pedal, hoping to arrive at her
city as soon as possible. The moment he reached, he drove straight to the local hospital.
âFortunately, the patient was rescued quickly. And because she wasnât in the water for too long, sheâs
doing fine now. But I noticed something about her body.â
âWhat is it?â
âWeâve conducted a checkup, and it revealed that the nerves in both her legs had no reaction. Also,
many of her major blood vessels from her brain to the lumbar spine suffered severe blockage and
curvature. Especially the one leading to her brain. I assumed that she must be blind, am I right?â
The doctorâs statement was encountered with silence. Sabrina lowered her head. For the first time in her
life, she felt uneasy.
Sebastian had arrived just in time to hear the doctorâs words, and he fainted on the spot.
âMr. Hayes!â Karl shouted in shock.
After resting in a ward for a long while, Sebastian slowly regained consciousness. He looked at the
doctor in front of him.
âYouâre awake. Seems like youâve been pushing your body to exhaustion, and you havenât consumed
any food or drink for quite some time. You should take care of yourself,â the doctor explained.
Sebastian wasnât listening.
He licked his dry lip and turned to gaze at Sasha who was lying beside him. âWhat is her condition from
what you mentioned earlier?â
âYou mean her?â
âYes.â
âTo put it simply, she has a vascular lesion. The drugs administered to her that paralyzed her legs
shouldnât have caused this. Unfortunately, I canât figure out the actual cause.â
The doctor had a look of utter helplessness.
Sebastian stated as he recalled, âSheâs also a doctor.â
âWhat? Sheâs a doctor?â
âYes, a Chinese Medical Practitioner.â
The doctor seemed to have come to a realization upon hearing that.
âI see. That would explain a lot. Come over here. I need your help to flip her to her front. I want to show
you something.â He walked over to Sasha.
Sebastian instantly pushed himself up and crossed the room to the doctor.
They then flipped Sasha to lay on her front, displaying her entire back.
There were many tiny pinpricks around her lumbar spine.
âSheâs a very ruthless person.â
The doctor pointed at the pinpricks. âThese were her doings. Although TCM is not my forte, I do know
that some practitioners would use a needle to trigger their acupoints. I guessed she wanted to stimulate
both her legs to overcome the numbness. She must have endured a lot of pain when she stabbed herself
so many times.â
Sebastian didnât reply.
His heart was aching as though numerous hands were tearing at it. It hurt so much that he was having
difficulty breathing.
I never thought that b*stard would treat her that way.
Didnât he love her? After all, he had been plotting to steal her away from the moment he saw me. But this
was how he treated her after stealing her?
Using drugs to cripple herâ¦
She must have been in despair. Was she waiting for me to save her all those while?
When she was stabbing herself with that needle for numerous days and nights, was she hoping for me to
appear and save her from that monsterâs den?
On the verge of a mental breakdown, Sebastian wrapped his arms around Sasha tightly. His eyes were
wet with unshed tears.
The doctor couldnât bear to look at the heart wrenching scene in front of him, so he changed the topic.
âItâs not all hopeless yet. We could try surgery on this type of man-made vascular lesion.â
âReally?â
Sebastian raised his head to glance at the doctor.
The doctor nodded. âThe main symptom of the lesion is vascular curvature, resulting in the blockage of
the blood vessels. I heard thereâs a famous surgeon in Lightspring who saved a ten-days-old baby with a
vascular condition. You can try bringing her there.â
The doctor was kind enough to refer Sebastian to another doctor.
At that moment, Sebastian felt he could see the light at the end of the tunnel. He immediately arranged a
search for that Lightspring surgeon.
Sabrinaâs mood brightened at the news.
âSo, are you bringing her to Lightspring now?â
âYes, immediately.â
Sebastian sat beside Sasha and held her hand in his as he stared at her lying there.
