She dashed into the room, grabbed a bag, and mindlessly started packing her belongings.
Lance did not utter a word. He headed back into his room and booked her a flight. He had long wanted to buy her that ticket home.
Sasha boarded the plane that very night and arrived in Avenport at daybreak.
She hesitated about heading straight to Frontier Bay as she suspected Sebastian would still be there.
She avoided him because she wasn’t sure if she wanted to see him or she was too guilty to face him after what happened to the kids.
She waited until after eight before she rushed over to the villa. To her surprise, the gate locked.
Why is it locked?
Panicked, she ran to the security post to check with the guard there. “Excuse me. May I know why the gate for Royal Court One is locked?”
“Oh, Royal Court One. Mr. Hayes has already moved out. It has been vacant for some time. It will probably be put on sale soon,” the security guard said with a sense of regret.
It was disquieting news to Sasha!
Moved?
Where to? Why did he move?
“Do you know where he has moved to? I need to find him,” she pressed anxiously.
The security guard shook his head. “I have no idea. I heard they had lots of unfortunate incidents during their stay here. The kids fell sick, one after another. I presume they found another place with a better environment for the kids.”
A better environment for the kids?
His comment was like rubbing salt on a wound, adding to her guilt.
The fact that the kids taking turns to fall sick reverberated in her mind.
I’m sorry, my sweeties. Mommy did not mean to make you suffer.
Teary-eyed and out of desperation, she sought help from Brandon to find out her kids’ whereabout.
“They moved because of Matteo. Since he fell sick, he has been getting treatment at Roxanne’s research laboratory. Sebastian bought a small house nearby for a temporary stay so it would be easier for him to care for Matteo.” Brandon reported his find over the phone.
When Sasha heard that, she was overwhelmed and allowed her tears to flow uncontrollably.
