âWe arenât related, weâ¦â
âWhy are you spewing so much nonsense? Didnât you want to use them to kill me? Since they couldnât
do it, you can do the honors. Why the need of finding so many excuses?â the man in the wheelchair
uttered.
Though his expression was calm and his tone of voice was indifferent, his words were exceptionally
harsh and sarcastic.
Instantly, Jonathan turned sour as if he had been slapped in the face.
âYouâ¦â He clenched his fists and cracked his knuckles, but he managed to control his temper in the
end.
Looking sullen, he gave him a warning. âDonât be so full of yourself, Sebastian. Youâre going to regret it
one day!â
Sebastian scoffed.
Regret? The thing that I regretted the most was to be born into the Jadeson family.
Shortly after, Jonathan left.
He requested his men to take care of all the corpses and did not pursue the matter anymore. Since he
did not mention what would he do to Sebastian, the incident was left as it was.
Sweeping the matter under the carpet was an unfair thing to do. This was clearly an intentional murder
case. Whoâs the mastermind? Jonathan is well aware of that; yet, he chose to do nothing about it. This
is upsetting.
âJust ignore him. Most importantly, Mr. Hayes is safe. The rest is secondary,â Grayson advised Sasha.
She nodded in response.
Thatâs right, as long as heâs safe and sound. What do I expect from such a terrible family?
Sasha dropped the topic and stopped thinking about it. Then, they went back to the ward.
Vivian was still in immense shock. So, Sasha decided not to stay in the hospital. Karl, on the other
hand, would protect Sebastian in secret.
âIâm going to bring Vivi home, Mr. Hayes. If you need anything, please call the nurse,â she reminded
him politely before leaving.
At that time, Sebastian was reading quietly on the bed.
After the incident during the day, the wound on his hand cracked open. The nurse had to bandage him
again. Right then, he was leaning on the bed and reading from the small table used for meals.
Sasha waited for his response, but she was greatly disappointed that he did not even cast a glance at
her.
Besides the hustling sounds from the air-conditioning, there was pin-drop silence in the ward, as if she
did not exist in the room.
Fine, dealing with him is a waste of time.
When Sasha was about to leave with her child, he said, âYou donât have to come tomorrow.â
âHuh?â She stopped in her tracks, stunned. âWhy? Iâm your doctor, why shouldnât I be here?â
âMy attending physician is Grayson, not you. Iâll inform him about this. Starting from tomorrow, you
donât need to come here anymoreâ
He was resolute and cold. Sasha was hurt that she had been denied the acknowledgment of being his
doctor. In addition, she was also asked not to attend to him anymore. Her face paled.
For a moment, she could not make sense out of what the man had just said.
No, why did he say that all of a sudden? Didnât we just go through a near-death experience this
afternoon? Why hasnât our relationship gotten any better? Instead, heâs shooing me away once all of
that was over!
Sasha was baffled.
She wanted to ask further but was interrupted by the new nurse. âDr. West, since the patient no longer
requires your care, I think itâs best you take your leave now lest he gets upset.â
With that said, the nurse ushered both mother and child out of the room.
Sasha faltered at the door. She took one last peep at the man through the crack. After seeing his cold
expression, she left with Vivian, feeling aggrieved.
Why does he act this way all of a sudden?
With that disturbing thought, Sasha left the hospital.
Ten minutes later, Grayson came to the ward after receiving the news.
âI heard that you drove my assistant away? Whatâs wrong? Is it because of what happened today, Mr.
Jadeson? Are you afraid that she wonât be safe if sheâs around you and might get into trouble?â
Smiling, Grayson grabbed a chair and took a seat in front of the bed.
Upon hearing that, Sebastian, who was enjoying some music, immediately turned grim and denied,
âNo!â
âThen, why donât you let her treat you? I have told you before, even though sheâs my assistant, sheâs
got great skills. You did notice, didnât you? Your insomnia as well as the wounds on your body have
improved vastly under her care.â Grayson tried using his recovery to persuade him.
However, Sebastian remained indifferent.
In fact, Graysonâs method backfired. âWhy are you here for? Decoration? How can you ask an assistant
to treat your patient?â mocked Sebastian.
Grayson was rendered speechless.
This guy is such a nuisance. Why is he so stubborn?
Grayson was left with no choice but to go with his idea. He stood up and said, âFine. Since you have
rejected her, Iâll assign her to take care of other patients. As for you, Iâll make other arrangements.â
