Why would Sebastian stand up for me?
I thought that he would prefer for me to be dead.
Sasha slowly drifted off into sleep.
That was all a bad dream. She had to sleep, then wake up, then continue doing what she had to do. After all, there was no one in this world who could help her.
When she woke up from her nap, the sun had already set and she could hear the sounds of her children causing a racket downstairs.
“Matt, does this mean Daddy caught the bad guy?”
“Of course! See, it was on TV that the patient’s death has nothing to do with Mommy! It was that evil doctor who did something to Mommy’s needles.”
“Yup!”
Lost for words, Ian only nodded as he stared at the television.
W-what’s going on?
What are they talking about?
Sasha could hear the kids’ loud cheering, but couldn’t make out what they were talking about, only able to pick out certain words like “bad guy”, “patient”, and “Mommy”.
She sat up from the sofa, pulling on a random coat within reach and cautiously making her way downstairs.
“Vivi, Matt, what are you guys talking about?”
Vivian immediately ran over to her, bouncing up and down as she dragged Sasha nearer to the television. “Mommy, you’re awake! Daddy’s on TV, come take a look.”
Her two sons were also looking at her excitedly.
Daddy’s on TV?
Confused, she stared at the television under her children’s anticipatory gazes.
A news report was being broadcasted live on television, but what took her by surprise was that the background showed the hospital she worked at.
And the cameras were all currently focused on a stoic, intimidating young man dressed in a suit.
It was their Daddy – the President of the Hayes Corporation.
“Mr. Hayes, as Hayes Corporation is the largest shareholder of this hospital, do you think this incident will affect the corporation in any way?”
“Mr. Hayes, the medical mishap that happened today will affect the hospital’s reputation, regardless of whether it was the fault of the newly-employed doctor who returned from abroad or the general practitioner. Are you sure that your corporation will not face any backlash at all?”
It was an endless barrage of vile questions. The reporters obviously wanted to take advantage of Sebastian’s rare public appearance to dig out as much information from him as they could.
The hospital is under the Hayes Corporation?
