However, before he could react, Sasha continued, “You don’t have to lie to me as I have found your location. Come clean with me now, or I will go straight to where you are.”
“No, don’t!” Calvin protested with an anxious tone, revealing his breathlessness.
After a long pause, Calvin finally replied, “Mrs. Hayes, please… please don’t come over. You will only distract Mr. Hayes.”
His words caused Sasha to tremble.
Seized by fear, she could no longer control her emotions. She shrieked, “Why? What is he doing? Calvin, what are you hiding from me? Huh?”
“No, Mrs. Hayes. I’m really… not hiding anything from you.”
“You’re lying!” Sasha’s rage intensified. “I can hear the breathlessness in your voice. It’s obvious that you are injured. Calvin, don’t forget that I’m a doctor!”
This time Calvin fell silent over the line.
Does he think that I’m not aware of his situation? I heard with my own ears the officer telling his subordinate that Calvin was responsible for detonating the bomb at Havenhall. With thirty-three people dead, how could he have escaped unscathed? What about Sebastian? Is he all right?
Tears rolled down Sasha’s cheeks. “Calvin, I’m already in Jadeborough and have gone to the nightclub. I know what happened to the both of you.”
Calvin was stumped.
After a long while, a bitter and raspy voice replied, “Mrs. Hayes, don’t worry. Mr. Hayes is fine. He left before the explosion.”
“Really?”
“Yes. I’m not lying to you. He is meeting with Mr. Pence right now. They have an appointment and Mr. Hayes will be boarding a ship in half an hour.”
Finally, Calvin came clean with Sasha. His words had put her mind at ease.
She was so delighted that she shed tears of joy.
Is he telling the truth? Is Sebastian going back? It would be wonderful if it is true. In that case, I can go home and wait for him.
After leaving the cybercafe, Sasha planned to find a place to rest and await further news.
However, the moment she stepped out, she heard the rotating rotors of a helicopter about her head. The entire scene made her feel as if she was in a war movie.
Sasha was stunned by the sight.
When she regained her senses shortly, the mind blanked out and she began to flee.
Meanwhile, Sebastian was indeed at the port waiting for Shawn.
Ever since his relationship with the Jadesons was revealed, Shawn and Jake didn’t keep in touch with him.
However, the day Sebastian decided to come to Jadeborough, Shawn came to see him on his own accord.
