The moment he finished, the other end of the line fell silent. The only thing Grayson could hear was static over the phone, sending a chill down his spine.
Realizing his folly, Grayson gulped.
Oh crap, I was too worked up just now and had forgotten how ruthless this old man is.
“Old Mr. Jadeson, I-”
Slam!
The call ended abruptly.
Grayson was dumbfounded.
I’m so dead…
After Sasha returned to her accommodation, she found Karl. Both of them were seized by fear the entire day.
As for Karl, he stuck around the hospital round the clock.
However, both of them were surprised that nothing untoward happened. There was no sign of Jonathan at all.
“What’s going on? Why didn’t he come?”
“It doesn’t matter. It’s better that way. We’ll just have to continue monitoring,” Karl reassured Sasha who had no choice but to accept it.
The next morning, she returned to the hospital. However, she headed to the wards instead.
“Dr. West, good morning.”
“Morning. Oh? Why is Mr. Hayes’ medical record gone?”
The moment she arrived in the doctor’s office to take over the patient records, she realized Sebastian’s details and prescriptions were missing, causing her expression to drastically change.
One of the doctors answered her, “That’s right. He is being discharged today.”
“What?”
Sasha felt as if she was dealt a heavy blow.
Discharged? He’s being discharged today?
In a panic, she dropped the medical records she was holding and rushed out of the doctor’s office to the ward.
Naturally, the ward had been cleared out by the time she arrived. Sebastian who was usually lying there was nowhere to be found.
Sebastian…
Suddenly, a terrifying sense of dread struck her. She felt as if something had been torn from her heart, causing her eyes to redden.
The next moment, she darted downstairs in pursuit.
No, I can’t let him disappear just like that. He is mine.
The reason she traveled so far in her beaten-up body was to find him and spend the rest of her life together with him, never to be separated ever again.
As if she had gone berserk, she hurried down the stairs as fast as she could.
Finally, when she arrived at the hospital’s main entrance, she realized that it was crowded and filled with cars.
