It was a tough day for Luke. At first, he waited a long time for Sasha and had to search high and low for her in the hospital, but in the end, he received that shocking news.
They told him that Sasha had killed a patient during surgery in the morning because she made a mistake. After the patient died a horrific death on the operation table, his family made a scene, and the police had no choice but to bring her to the police station.
Upon hearing that Sasha was taken to the police station, Luke immediately went there.
However, what drove him mad was that the police weren’t willing to release her unless Sebastian turned up.
But no one was able to get a hold of him through the phone for the entire day.
“Mr. Hayes, I was even thinking of going over to Summerbank to find you if you still weren’t reachable. How could Ms. Wand stand being in the police station? After all, she’s a delicate lady, Mr. Hayes…”
Luke was choking back tears while uttering the last sentence.
On the other hand, Sebastian remained silent.
It was something he hadn’t expected at all.
In fact, he had been considering the matter for a very long time the previous night before telling his assistant to inform that woman to proceed with their divorce at the civil affairs office today.
He thought he would be happy when the truth was finally revealed, but he was wrong.
On the contrary, what he felt was the familiar wave of humiliation and hatred that used to overwhelm him when he was younger.
What’s the reason?
Why is it that I’m still unable to escape her after all these years? Does she think that I would forgive her just because she did that?
He was locked up for six years, all because of her. From a high-spirited teenager, he transformed into a madman who everyone feared. If it weren’t for his uncle who came to his rescue, his entire life might have been ruined.
Therefore, it was impossible for him to be happy or moved.
What he felt was only resentment and anger toward her, and those emotions had peaked to a level like never before. In the end, he couldn’t wait to break off his relationship with her.
But now, he suddenly received news that she was in trouble—she had killed someone.
What would happen to her next?
If she were to be convicted in the end, then her entire life would definitely be ruined.
She would never appear in front of him ever again as he wished.
Instantly, his fingers clenched around the phone.
It was supposed to be a good news for him.
However, he didn’t feel a trace of happiness. On the contrary, his mind went blank at the thought of that. Before he even realized it, a sense of panic crept into him.
Luke said, “Mr. Hayes?”
