That night, Sasha experienced the best sleep she had in a long time.
In her dream, she had returned to the time when they were still living at Frontier Bay. It was a quiet night. The children were sleeping peacefully downstairs while she was cuddling upstairs with Sebastian. With their bodies pressed against each other, she could sense his familiar warmth and scent.
The dream was so beautiful that she was reluctant to wake up.
However, when she opened her eyes the next day, she saw herself sprawled on the freezing cold table.
“Ms. Wand, are you awake?”
Sasha’s heart sank when someone suddenly greeted her in the room.
Turning around in a daze, she realized that it was a nurse who was cleaning the room and changing the bedsheets.
What’s going on? Why is she tidying up the room? Where’s Sebastian?
When her senses came back, Sasha asked, “Where is he?”
Springing up to her feet, she had forgotten that her limbs were numb. The moment she took a step, she almost fell flat on the floor.
“Ms. Wand, be careful!”
The nurse threw aside the bedsheet and hurried to support Sasha.
Only then did she steady herself.
When she found her balance again, she grabbed the nurse by the arm. “Where is he? Where has he gone?”
The nurse quickly reassured her, “Don’t worry, he has just gone for a check-up and will return very soon.”
Thank goodness it’s just a check-up.
Sasha heaved a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, Mark returned with Sebastian.
“Madam, you’re awake. Are you feeling all right? I saw you sleeping on the table this morning. If you want, I can arrange for you to rest in a ward.” Mark offered in concern the moment he saw her.
Sasha shook her head and shifted her equally worried gaze in Sebastian’s direction.
“How is it? Are there any problems with the check-up?”
Entering the ward with an indifferent expression, Sebastian scrutinized his surroundings before lying back on his bed. He behaved as if he was in his own world.
Both Sasha and Mark were stumped.
Even the nurse was bewildered. She was still in the middle of changing the bedsheet!
“Ms. Wand, uh…”
“It’s all right. You may go now; leave this to me.” Waving his hand, Mark motioned the nurse to leave.
