Sebastian clenched his fists at the thought of that.
Yancy sure doesnât disappoint⦠She really took viciousness to a whole new level!
âHow is he now?â
âHeâs already been sent to the hospital. Iâm guessing she used a new type of chemical weapon, so
ordinary hospitals probably canât save him!â Karl replied worriedly.
A substance capable of oxidizing instantly when the parcel is opened and poisoning the recipient upon
inhalation? Itâs definitely some kind of specially engineered chemical! Given the stuff those b*stards
usually do, I wouldnât be surprised if they really used a chemical weapon!
Sebastianâs face turned gloomy upon hearing that. He then sprung to his feet, about to rush over to the
hospital. However, he paused in his tracks when he suddenly recalled something.
âMr. Hayes?â
âGo check on the situation, and contact the drug lords that we know,â he said while sitting back down on
the couch and returned to his usual calm demeanor.
Wait⦠Isnât he going to at least check on his father-in-law? This is a matter of life and death! Mrs. Hayes
would be devastated if he didnât show up!
Karl froze briefly at the thought and tried to persuade him by saying, âMr. Hayes, I think you should make
a trip to the hospital⦠We can take care of everything else later.â
By âeverything elseâ, he was referring to Sebastianâs relationship with Sasha.
Even though they were talking on the phone, Karl could feel Sebastianâs icy glare through the screen.
âWhat are you talking about? Everything is simply going according to plan, isnât it? Youâd better not tell
her anything about me and ruin my plan!â
That last sentence sent a shiver down Karlâs spine. He quickly hung up the phone without another word.
It was already afternoon by the time Karl arrived at the hospital. He rushed over to the emergency ward
and saw Sasha sitting outside with panic written all over her face.
âMrs. Hayes?â
âHmm?â Sasha looked up at him in confusion and stared blankly at him for a moment before realizing
who he was.
Like a drowning person who had found a lifebuoy, she then leapt to her feet and looked behind him as
she asked, âMr. Frost? Is Sebastian here? Where is he?â
Unfortunately, she saw no one but Hayes Corporationâs bodyguards in the corridor.
âWhere is he?â
âIâm sorry, Madam. Mr. Hayes is currently with a client right now, so he wonât be able to come over so
soon.â
Sashaâs already pale face became as white as sheet upon hearing that.
âWhat? Heâs meeting a client? Did you tell him what happened to my dad?â she questioned Karl in
disbelief, but he simply kept quiet.
Consumed by a sudden surge of disappointment and rage, Sasha went to look for Sebastian herself.
âWhere are you going, Madam?â Karl asked as he caught her before she was about to run off.
âIâm going to find him and ask him if his work is more important than my dadâs life! How dare he treat his
father-in-law like this? Does he have any humanity left in him at all?â Sasha shouted like a madman
while struggling with all her might.
Karl understood it was only natural for any sane person to break down when faced with such a situation.
However, all he could do was hold on to her tightly as he explained, âCalm down, Madam! Mr. Hayes isnât
neglecting you or anything! He simply canât come right now! Rest assured that Iâve already contacted a
bunch of people to help save your father!â
Having lost all sense of reason, Sasha continued yelling maniacally, âBullsh*t! Sebastian is the one I
want, not you!â
With no other option available, Karl could only strike her on the back of her head to knock her
unconscious.
Iâm sorry, Madam⦠You left me with no choice.
Terrified by what they had just witnessed, the doctors in the emergency ward didnât dare step forward
until Karl laid her down on the bed.
âHow is her fatherâs condition?â
âHe was poisoned. Being a doctor herself, she applied some acupuncture needles to his pressure points
to stop the poison from spreading all over his body. He isnât in any imminent danger at the moment, but
we have yet to identify the type of poison he was exposed to. The lab is running an analysis as we
speakâ¦â the doctor explained Rufusâ condition honestly.
Of f*cking course, they couldnât identify the poison!
Karl kept his thought to himself and simply said with a sigh, âCould you give me a sample? I have some
friends who are knowledgeable about this sort of thing.â
âOf course!â
Being at a loss, the doctors were more than happy to let him have the samples.
