Chapter 1212
The Love that Never Really Dies
She was somehow impressed to see Sabrina doing the laundry skillfully. She had never expected a
spoiled lady like the latter could manage such an errand. Both Sabrinaâs hands had become red
after scrubbing at the clothes. âSab, I'm impressed. You've learned so much even in an unfavorable
environment.â
âHmph!â Sabrina snorted angrily and continued her ministrations. That amused Sasha, but she knew
she should not laugh in front of Sabrina. If I did, she'd throw the clothes at me. With that, Sasha
tried to change the topic. âWhere's Devin?" âChopping wood!â Sabrina snapped.
Sasha was dumbfounded when she heard that. Devin's chopping wood? He's the heir of the
Jadesons and previously the special force commander. Yet heâs willing to do such humble work
now? Sasha knew Devin had a good temper, but she did not expect it to be this good.
She was utterly amazed by that. Sebastian stayed here for months, and he didn't do anything. With
that thought in mind, Sasha shook her head helplessly. She decided to take the baby out for a walk
a moment later. Right then, she noticed Sabrina had separated Devin's clothes from her own.
Sasha was shaken by her action. Why would she separate her husband's clothes from hers? Is that
necessary? Nevertheless, I should not stick my nose into othersâ business. The scenery on the
mountain in spring was breathtaking.
The big maple branches in the temple were extraordinarily luxuriant, and tiny flowers on the
roadside were blooming, leaving a fragrance everywhere. Carrying Jaena, Sasha meandered along
the small path. âJaena, look. There's a pretty flower over there. Let's pluck it for you.â
Upon hearing that, Jaena danced joyously in her embrace. Sasha squatted down and tried to pluck
the red azalea. Right then, a manâs whistle came from further down the path. His whistling was so
high and clear that it shocked all the birds away. Sasha was stunned by that sound too.
"Wa..." Jaena was shocked as well, immediately bursting into tears. Sasha regained her senses and
started comforting Jaena. At the same time, she realized the whistling had stopped too. âDevin?â
She was slightly startled as she did not expect to see Devin appearing in sight.
Devin's expression was awkward as well. He walked toward them with two living birds in his hands.
"Did I startle you guys just now? I was trying to catch these birds for Jaena to play with.â Upon
saying that, he showed Jaena the birds in his hands. With those cute birds in sight, Jaena stopped
crying right away and started giggling loudly.
Sasha was rendered speechless. So he was trying to catch the birds. Sasha let out a sigh of relief as
she straightened. âDevin, what's your plan? You're not going to stay here forever, are you? I'm
worried about Sebastian in The Fourth Hospital.
They won't allow me to visit him.â Sasha could not help but express her concerns. She wanted to
find out how Sebastian was holding up. Plus, she did not think Devin should waste his time
chopping wood in this temple. Fortunately, Devin did not plan to stay long as well.
âI'll find a chance to visit him. But the most important thing now is Jonathan's case.â âYes. I heard
from Sebastian that Jonathan has been sentenced to death by the military court. If we don't rescue
him in time, it will all be over.â She became frantic after mentioning it. Devin nodded firmly.
âSo we have to solve this first. I heard that you know someone from the Leonard family back in
Yartran, right?â âHuh?â Sasha was stunned momentarily. âThe Leonard family? Yes, I do. Why?â Past
memories started to flash through her mind. Devin explained, âThat man was robbed by a
smuggling ring back when they were doing business in Smallpoint.
Jonathan was the one who saved him. If you can contact him and ask him to persuade the royal
family of Yartran to plead for mercy on behalf of Jonathan, it might solve the problem.â Sasha was
absolutely taken aback upon hearing that. First, the Leonard family indeed comes from the royal
family in Yartran.
But Raymond had been chased out by the time I left. Does he still have the right to persuade them?
Secondly, how did Devin know about this? Yes, heâs the commander of the special forces, but I'm
only his sister-in-law. How could he know so much about me? Sasha stared at him for a long while
before responding, âI can try to reach him.
However, we're under surveillance, and all our communication devices have been cut off. How could
we possibly contact the outside world?â âCommunication devices? I've got plenty of them.â Upon
saying that, Devin rolled up his sleeve and showed an expensive-looking watch on his wrist.
Sasha blinked owlishly. A quartz watch? Doesn't he only wear mechanical watches? As a quartz
watch had a ticking sound, those from the military would not usually wear it.
