Closing his eyes, he staggered backward…
“Vivi!” Sasha cried out in shock.
With quick reflexes, Solomon managed to catch Vivian, who was about to fall onto the ground.
Sasha heaved her sigh of relief when she saw her daughter in good hands. Lifting her gaze, she prepared to berate Sebastian for his carelessness. As she did so, she was stunned to see that the man’s cheeks looked moist.
She then realized that tears were rolling down from his closed eyes.
What beautiful eyelashes…
They were thick and slightly curled at their ends, just like two rows of fans. As they trembled and fluttered shut, they looked like wet butterfly wings that were fluttering desperately.
“Goodbye, Sasha.”
The man finally loosened his grip. After that, he turned around and left. Despite trudging ahead, he never did turn back.
Sasha stared blankly at him.
After a long while, Sebastian’s silhouette disappeared from the waiting area. Only then did Sasha suddenly feel as if something had been cut out from her.
As an excruciating pain seized her heart, she swooned for a moment before crouching down. Finally, she held her chest and bawled in agony.
We are… finally over.
By the time Roxanne found Sebastian after driving around for a long while, it was already dawn.
Since spring had arrived early in Avenport, it rained every day. That night was no exception. The woman had assumed that he would be at the airport but was surprised to see him when she was halfway there.
The man was stumbling along the road, looking like a corpse. Given that there wasn’t a soul around, and the airport was miles away, Roxanne realized that he had trudged his way in the rain the entire time.
Has he gone mad?
Does he have a death wish?
As her face paled, she stopped the car and dashed up to him. “Sebastian, what are you doing? Are you crazy? Why are you walking alone on the highway in such heavy rain? Are you trying to kill yourself?”
She was utterly furious.
Within that fury was a sense of unprecedented fear and panic.
However, the man looked as if he didn’t notice her presence at all. Staring blankly ahead, she could hardly see any color on his face due to the rain. The way he looked now was no different than that of a zombie.
Is this even real? How could a woman hurt him to this extent?
Where did his domineering aura and arrogance go? He is supposed to be Sebastian Hayes! De facto king of the city!
