“Mr. Hayes. There’s no need for you to worry. It’s normal for her to experience this. Now that we’ve removed the blockage, blood has started to flow again. As such, when it flows through some remaining blockages, it will cause some pain.”
“So?”
“So we need to proceed with the second operation as soon as possible.”
The blond-haired doctor told him the final treatment plan.
Sebastian was out of words. One more operation meant more pain for Sasha. He feared that she would not be able to endure this lengthy process of recovery.
Staring at Sasha, who was lying in bed, Sebastian felt as though a thousand needles were stabbing through his heart. How he wished he could take her place through this journey of hell instead.
There’s no need for her to apologize… After all, she had repaid me long ago with all the pain and struggles she had been through since she was eighteen.
Sebastian had set aside all his works as he was determined to stay by Sasha’s side to help her through this.
Twenty days later, Sasha had overgone four operations. After endless torture, her eyes finally started to detect some light.
Sebastian was beyond delighted.
Yet, at the same time, a piece of bad news came from the company.
“Sebastian, Trevor betrayed us.”
“What? Trevor?” Sebastian was utterly bewildered, for it seemed to him that anyone could turn their back on him but Trevor.
After all, the Rocke family was the one who cured him. Plus, Trevor had a long and significant relationship with Frederick.
Why would he betray us so suddenly?
“Roxanne tried to commit suicide. After you canceled the wedding, she locked herself up in her room. Not long after that, she went back to the nursing home in Sumanthova and consumed a lot of sleeping pills. If it wasn’t for the housemaid who found out in time, she would have been dead.”
Holding the phone to his ear, the news was a bolt out of the blue for him.
He was surprised that Roxanne would do such a thing.
And here I thought she is the happy-go-lucky type of girl that never really concerns herself with relationships. All she cared about were medicines and medical terms. So why would she commit suicide for such a thing?
Sebastian could not wrap his head around it.
However, he dropped his concern for Roxanne shortly later, as he had a far more severe matter to deal with. Without a doubt, Trevor’s betrayal would cause intensive damage to the company.
“How’s the company holding up?”
“Dad is still trying to hide your situation. But the board of directors has spoken that they would not give in until you quit your position.”
“Quit my position?”
Sebastian snickered as though he had heard an amusing joke.
“So their final goal was to make me quit?”
“Yes, I’m afraid so.”
