Chapter 1430 Things Changed
That’s probably a phenomenon of one’s nerves relaxing after having been stretched taut.
Sasha clocked that, and a sense of relief suffused her. After leaving the hospital and arriving back at the hotel, she headed over to the man keeping the few children company in the suite upon spotting him. Then, she sat down cross-legged in front of him.
“I think Solomon has found the light in his life this time.”
“Really?”
Hearing her use the word light to describe the man who had been in love with her all his life for the first time, Sebastian surprisingly lifted his head and looked at her seriously.
Chortling, Sasha asserted, “Yup. In the hospital earlier, I noticed his anxiety and fear. When he heard that Ichika was fine, his eyes even turned red-rimmed at one point. Haha, this is great! I can finally rest easy.”
She had no qualms saying that at all.
Firstly, she considered him family and was purely worried about him.
And secondly, she was solemnly informing the man in front of her about it.
Since Solomon had finally turned his affections to another woman, the man naturally didn’t have to be jealous all day long anymore.
To her surprise, the man before her didn’t appear relieved as expected after she had finished saying that.
Instead, his stern brows knitted together.
“I’m afraid that things aren’t so simple. She wouldn’t have attempted to kill her sister for no reason. Take a rabbit, for instance. When have you ever seen it biting someone?”
“When it’s backed into a corner?” Sasha blurted.
Indeed, it was only when a rabbit was backed into a corner would it bite.
In the city where snowflakes fluttered in the sky, the chill felt even more biting when night fell.
Solomon sensed that icy coldness as well, for when the girl who had finally regained consciousness in the hospital room only said a few words to him after opening her eyes before she murmured, “Let’s get a divorce, Akiyama.”
“What did you just say?”
He narrowed his eyes a fraction, thinking that he must have heard Ichika wrongly.
A divorce? She actually proposed to get a divorce with me? She wouldn’t leave even when I chased her away and insisted on staying by my side despite knowing that I was merely treating her as a substitute, yet she’s now asking me for a divorce?
He stretched a hand out to touch her forehead, wanting to check whether she was running a fever.
However, when his hand reached her, he noticed that she had turned her head away for the very first time.
He was instantly struck dumb.
“I’m serious, Akiyama. I made an unforgivable mistake this time. I want to atone for it to the ancestors of the Minamoto family, so I’ll be staying at the temple henceforth. Please grant me my wish,” Ichika whispered in a choked voice as she lay on the hospital bed.
