Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 643

“How could you do this to me? I’m your wife, Sebastian! Don’t you think you went too far? You did all that just to test me? Don’t you think you’re too cruel?”

“How is that cruel? I did that in order to maintain the strength and purity of our relationship. You know me; I won’t touch anything that is contaminated by others,” he said again.

“Fine. So, what now? Did you get what you wanted?”

Sebastian did not answer her question.

His silence was equivalent to an affirmative answer.

Sasha smiled wryly at the irony of the situation. A corner of her lip tilted into a half smile. “It’s no simple task to convince you of my innocence, Mr. Hayes.”

Sebastian raised his eyebrows at her.

However, he said nothing as he merely opened up his laptop again and resumed his work.

His dismissiveness felt like a knife that drove deep into Sasha’s chest. She could not stand to be in his presence any longer. She squeezed her eyes shut to hold in her tears and whirled around to leave.

This was the first time she wanted to be as far away from him as possible.

After Sasha left his office, Luke walked in.

“Mr. Hayes, a-are you all right? Let me get you a glass of water.”

Sebastian was sprawled across his chair, clutching at his chest, when his assistant entered his office. A layer of cold sweat beaded his forehead.

Luke’s face was white from shock when he saw his boss.

This was especially since Sebastian had coughed up blood just two days ago and ended up hospitalized.

Luke quickly poured a glass of water and grabbed the medication that he had been taking.

Sebastian swallowed the pills. After a while, he gradually lowered his hand from his chest. However, he remained sprawled on his chair and the pain still clouded his eyes.

“Mr. Hayes, do you really have to do this? You want your wife to leave you, but do you have to pretend to be such a cruel, unfeeling person? The videotape issue was the legal department’s negligence…”

“If I don’t do this, she won’t leave me,” Sebastian said weakly. He leaned back in his chair as if all his strength had been drained out of him.

She’s such a clever woman. If I don’t do this, how else could I get her to leave?

He tried everything to get her to agree to a divorce. He had cursed at her, humiliated her and even raised his hands against her, but like a fool, she stuck around stubbornly.
