Stephen and Jasmine felt a chill running down their spines and took a few steps back to put on some
distance between them and the one inside the ward.
Ha! Are these Sebastianâs so-called cousins and relatives?
After much considerations, Jasmine suggested, âI-I think weâll just drop by and pay him a visit in the
future since heâs not feeling well yet.â
As a matter of fact, they werenât there because they truly cared about Sebastian. Jasmine was merely
there to ensure Sebastian couldnât pose any threat to his sonâthe successor of the Jadesons.
Jasmine secretly hoped Sebastian would turn handicapped because she was afraid that Sebastian
would be appointed the next successor of the Jadesons instead of Devin.
On the other hand, Stephen remained silent and thought it wouldnât be wise to visit Sebastian at that time
when he heard Sashaâs explanation.
âWell, if thatâs the case, weâll drop by and visit him in the future. Weâll entrust him with you for the time
being.â
Sasha played along with the duo and answered in a calm and collected tone, âSure, Iâll see you again in
the near future.â
Shortly after their departure, the news of them being turned down made it to the rest of the Jadesons,
especially Jared and his family.
Initially, they were about to take Sebastian out, but they brought everything to a halt due to the
unforeseen accident.
âHeâs just a maniac! Itâs better for us to stay away from him for the time being!â
Out of nowhere, someone mentioned, âWe can always take him out in the future! Speaking of which,
Jonathan might have let Sebastian off the hook, but he hadnât sent anyone to keep an eye on him to
keep him safe at the hospital!â
The Jadesons, who were in the middle of Charlesâ wake at Jade Court, had their eyes glinting as if they
were up to something evil in mind, especially the middle-aged woman in front of the casket.
âAre you indicating heâs going to stop getting in our way?â
âI think thatâs most probably the case! After all, heâs the one behind Eric, Tyler, Tiffany, and uncleâs
miseries! As the one leading the family, heâs not supposed to be biased! What do you think, Aunt
Candice?â the young man finished his question with a smile and looked at the middle-aged woman in the
eyes.
The middle-aged woman was none other than Charlesâ sister, Candice, who had been away from home
after getting married. She also happened to be the closest with Charles back in the day.
Candice thought it was a brilliant suggestion and made her way to Connorâs study to decide their next
best course of action.
The young man behind responded with a vicious smirk as soon as the Jadesons dismissed themselves.
He continued messing around with a Rubikâs Cube.
âKingston, what are you doing here when itâs your uncleâs wake? Are you trying to get on your unclesâ
and auntsâ nerves or something again?â
A woman with an apron showed up in front of the young man and reprimanded him, bringing him away
with her without a second thought.
â¦â¦
After spending the past two days in the ward with Sebastian, Sasha found out he was no longer his
grumpy self.
No longer would he chase her out of his ward or turn her down whenever she brought up suggestions for
his sake.
âMr. Hayes, itâs about time to get your wounds treated again. Shall we head over now?â
Sasha showed up in the ward with a wheelchair since it was almost time to move on to the next phase of
his treatment plan.
Initially, she thought he would turn her down, but to her surprise, the man responded with a nod,
indicating he wasnât against the idea.
Oh, God! Has he just agreed to come with me?
Sasha was on cloud nine and thought that was the best thing that had ever happened to her throughout
the year.
She rushed to him with the wheelchair and asked, âDo you need my help? I have put on a brand new set
of personal protective equipment, including a pair of disposable gloves!â
Afraid the germaphobe was against the idea of touching her, she assured him that wouldnât be the case
since she had herself wrapped in countless layers of clothes.
Sebastian glanced at her set of clothes and instructed, âJust move it over and leave me alone.â
Seconds after she returned to her senses from staring at the man with a haggard look, she stammered,
âO-Okayââ
The moment she brought the wheelchair to him, he thought of getting out of bed with his only functioning
leg.
Unfortunately, he ended up staggering since he couldnât balance himself without the aid of his hands.
âWatch out!â
Sasha shrieked in fear of the man injuring himself. Without a second thought, she rushed to his rescue
and sprinted in his direction.
Things got increasingly awkward amongst the duo in the ward.
The gigantic man ended up on top of the skinny woman in the ward as she could barely hold him in her
arms and stop him from falling.
Sashaâs mind went completely blank when she heard the manâs racing heart and felt the manâs scorching
body.
