Meanwhile, at the Hayes Residence, Sasha was incredibly scared and anxious as she waited for an update on the situation.
This was mainly due to her being partly responsible for Frieda’s death.
Had she told Sebastian that he was Shin’s son, he might have been able to take the necessary precautions to protect his mom.
Instead, she was so focused on keeping him safe that she neglected that fact, and her mistake cost Frieda her life.
As such, she felt relieved when Rufus called and told her that he had successfully convinced Sebastian to go home and happily ran downstairs to wait for him.
However, that feeling of relief did not last as Sebastian never showed up at the door.
Where is he? Didn’t Dad say he was coming home?
Feeling uneasy at the thought of that, Sasha grabbed her phone and punched in Sebastian’s number.
However, she didn’t have the courage to follow through and ended up calling his bodyguard Karl instead.
“Hello, Mr. Frost. Um… My dad told me Sebastian has left the hospital. Has he gone home?”
“No, he headed over to Frontier Bay,” Karl said, unsure of how he should word his reply as he didn’t expect for it to happen either.
He assumed his boss would go straight home after leaving the hospital, but Sebastian had him drive straight to Royal Court One instead.
The silence that followed hit Sasha like a sledgehammer and sent her heart all the way to rock bottom once again.
Why would he go to Frontier Bay? We don’t live there anymore, and that place is practically empty now!
With that in mind, her hand that was holding the phone fell weakly to her side.
Having stood behind Sasha for quite some time, Sabrina saw how dejected she looked and asked, “What’s wrong? Is he not back yet?”
Sasha shook her head and forced a smile on her face as she tried her best to explain, “He’s probably still busy taking care of stuff after his mom’s death.”
Naturally, Sabrina wasn’t buying it and questioned her, “How is that possible? I bet he’s not coming home on purpose! Could it be that he’s mad at your dad for bringing Frieda out and is taking his anger out on you?”
Sasha went pale upon hearing that as she didn’t want to believe it, but the stuff that Sebastian yelled at her in the ward earlier combined with his actions at the time made it clear that he was overcome with grief.
