Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 625

Silence finally befell after he said those words.

It was as if every sound and every vibration in the universe had paused. Sasha was as pale as paper, but at that moment, she simply couldn’t say a word.

Everything he said was true.

Sasha couldn’t deny that she played a role in his mom’s death. Her intention was to protect him, but by keeping the truth from Sebastian, Sasha inadvertently caused Freida to die by the Jadesons’ hands.

That was simply how things were.

Sasha could tell him why she stole from the Legal department and let him know that the truth wasn’t what he thought it was…

But no one would believe that.

The tape she stole was the original and only copy.

Moreover, Solomon was spared by the legal system in the end. His freedom was something Sasha couldn’t explain away.

It only took a few minutes to kick Sasha down from cloud nine, and she felt like she had fallen to hell. All she could do was reach out with her trembling hand and grip the edge of his shirt like she did when she was a kid. Tears rolled down her cheeks like rain.

“That’s not what happened, Sebby. L-listen to me. Sebby…”

“Let me go!”

History was repeating itself in an eerily similar way.

Sebastian pulled his shirt away promptly and cruelly like he did when he was a kid.

Distaste and hatred donned his face, as he walked straight away.

Sasha couldn’t speak.

She swayed a little before her legs gave way in the dining room, where she could still smell the dinner they had together earlier. She just sat there on the floor.

Karl was already outside the place at the time.

Actually… It was more accurate to say that he had been waiting for quite a while. He was sent to investigate the Jadesons, and it just so happened that he learned something. That was why he returned that night.

At first, he planned on entering the premises right away to report his findings.

However, he noticed that something was off when he was hanging out on the rooftop. That got him to change his mind, and he waited patiently outside.

“Mr. Hayes.”

Karl rushed over and supported Sebastian when he saw how the latter ran out and fumbled.

Unfortunately, Karl was too late.

Karl felt something warm and wet when he held Sebastian to stop the latter from falling. That sensation prompted Karl to tilt his head down. The faint light from the front porch showed Karl that crimson red liquid was sitting on his palm…

“Mr. Hayes, what…?”

“Shut… up. Leave now!”

Sebastian’s mind was spinning, and he felt like his chest was about to split open. He managed to give that order, but he fainted beside the bodyguard at the very next second.
