Chapter 53

Due to Sebastian's intervention, Sasha managed to untangle herself from Berta. Without a

moment's delay, she carried the food and went upstairs. “Little lan, Ms. Nancy is here. Are you

awake?” “Mm.” She was happy to see how obedient her son was. After softly calling out to him, he

opened his eyes on the bed and got up with her help. Sasha was more than pleased with their

progress. This was a rare heartwarming moment she shared with her son. After dressing lan up, she

coaxed him into drinking the soup she made, causing Berta to grit her teeth in irritation. “Little lan,

let's go to the garden for a walk, hmm?” After lan finished his breakfast, Sasha noticed that the

weather was particularly good. With her son's health in mind, Sasha thought it would be good to let

lan go out and sweat a little. However, lan’s face instantly sank.

“No!” Sasha was taken aback. “Why not, sweetie? Children should exercise more to become

stronger. Once you're all better, you can start going to preschool where you can make lots of new

friends who will play with you. Isn“t that fun?” “No, it's not fun! It's not fun at all!” Sasha never

expected that what she said would make things worse. lan hurled the Transformers figurine in his

hand and ran away. Anxious, Sasha got to her feet and went after him. “lan, don’t run! Wait for me.”

What's going on? Why did he become so worked up all of a sudden? Sasha was dumbfounded. She

raced after him to his room, planning to coax him. However, he slammed the door before she could

reach him and locked her out.

“Little lan? Please open the door. Don't be angry. Did I say something wrong? Let me in so that we

can talk, okay?” “Weren't you oh-so confident in yourself? What's wrong? Are things not going

well?” Berta came upstairs at some point and began mocking her. Sasha was in an irritable mood,

and what Berta said was the last straw. Her gaze turned icy as she shot a fierce glare at the latter.

"One more word from you, and I'll make sure it's the last thing you say.” Berta was stunned, having

never seen this side of Sasha. In an instant, fear gripped her as she cowered slightly, feeling a chill

travel down her spine. Since when did this woman become so scary? Her arrogance was instantly

knocked down several notches, and she stuttered, “I-It's because you mentioned preschool. lan has

always hated going to preschool.” “He doesn't like it? Why?" Sasha was perplexed.

He hates going to preschool? Why? I know that he doesn't like to interact with others, but why doesn't

he like going to preschool too? His condition shouldn't be that serious. Sasha felt that something was

amiss and decided to wait for Sebastian to come home to ask him the reason behind it. However,

Sebastian didn't come back all afternoon. Instead, someone else came to visit the villa. “Quick! Tidy

the place up. Mr. Hayes will be here soon, so make sure everything is spotless, or we'll never hear

the end of it from him.” Sasha had come down to make lunch for her son when she overheard this.

When she saw Berta ordering the housemaids in the garden, she almost missed a step and

stumbled down the stairs from shock. Sebastian's father is coming? Oh God! Why all of a

sudden? Why wasn't I told about this?
