Chapter 598

“I just want to ask about this. I’ve tried so hard, but why aren’t my efforts showing any results?”

He slid his finger down to her stomach and pointed at her lower abdomen.

Sasha was stunned.

So he wants to ask about this?

The light in her eyes dimmed as she lowered her head silently.

Sebastian was dumbstruck.

What happened? Why isn’t she saying anything? She doesn’t seem to be in a good mood. Should I
have not mentioned this? Is she unwilling to have any more children?

At that moment, Sebastian regretted saying that.

“Darling, I…”

“Sebby, I’m sorry… I might not be able to have children with you anymore. When I gave birth to the
three kids, my womb was severely injured. Dr. Kaye said that I won’t be able to get pregnant again.”

Suddenly, Sasha, who was leaning against his chest, spoke in an extremely guilty tone.

Still embracing her, Sebastian felt like he had just been struck by lightning.

She can’t get pregnant anymore? It’s because of me, right?

All of a sudden, the image of her rolling down the stairs while pregnant resurfaced in his mind. A feeling
of extreme guilt immediately engulfed him.

With a pang of guilt, he raised his hand and slapped himself hard.



Slap!

“Sebby, what are you doing? Why are you hitting yourself?”

When Sasha heard that, she immediately lifted her head and stared at him in shock.

However, as if he could feel no pain, he wanted to keep slapping himself. If it were not for Sasha
grabbing his hand, he might have slapped himself again.

“What are you doing? That happened so many years ago. You don’t have to do this to yourself. I’ve
never blamed you either!”

Sasha was smart enough to read his mind. Hence, she quickly coaxed him with tears glistening in her
eyes.

Sebastian’s eyes were red. After a while, he raised his head and gazed at her. “You really don’t blame
me? If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t…”

“I don’t blame you. It’s true that I hated you back then, but I have gotten over it now. We’ve both been
lied to and manipulated by others. That was what led to the tragedy. Also, I heard that you weren’t that
cruel. After I supposedly died, you still buried me in a nice spot despite not having any feelings for me.
Right?”

In order to alleviate his feelings of guilt, Sasha deliberately teased him.

Indeed, an unnatural expression crossed Sebastian’s face.

“Stop talking about that.”

“Fine. Let’s not bring up the past anymore. Although we’ve lost some things along the way, what we’ve
gained now is much more valuable, right?”



He had to admit that Sasha was a very generous and thoughtful lady.

Everyone knew how important a woman’s reproductive organ was to them. However, she thought that
compared to the things that she had now, everything else was no longer important.

In the end, Sebastian could not even utter a single word.

All he could do was to hug her tightly.

After Sasha fell asleep, he opened his eyes, tucked her into the blankets gently and stood up.

“Mr. Hayes, our investigation showed that Mr. Hayes Sr. used to be a soldier. His commander was Mr.
Jadeson’s uncle.”

In the middle of the night, Karl stood under the cypress tree and told his boss about what he had found
from his investigation over the past two days.

Does that old man actually share such a relationship with Devin’s uncle?

Sebastian was surprised.

“How was their relationship? Were they close?”

“Someone saw Shin here before. Considering that this is the Hayes Residence, they must be close,”
analyzed Karl.

Sebastian was shocked again.

When Frederick was still alive, he had never heard him talk about it.

Furthermore, he also heard another name—Shin Jadeson!



“Mr. Hayes, why did you instruct me to investigate this all of a sudden? Are you planning on letting Ms.
Sabrina marry into the Jadeson family?”

Sebastian gave no response.

“This can’t do, Mr. Hayes! Although Shin is from the Jadesons family, haven’t you heard what Devin
said? He’s an outcast and has been ostracized by the family. Even if you’ve found out that he has a
close relationship with Mr. Hayes Sr., the Jadesons might not be willing to acknowledge it.”

Karl became anxious and started babbling.

Sebastian’s face looked grim.

“What nonsense are you spouting? Who said that I’m letting her marry into the Jadeson family? I have
instructed you to investigate it because there’s something fishy about it.”

“What do you mean?”

“It isn’t a shameful thing to be a soldier, so why didn’t Frederick mention him to me? Also, the Jadesons
isn’t any average family. If Devin’s uncle was close to my father, why is he kept in the dark as well?
What are the Jadesons hiding?”

Sebastian was very intelligent. Standing in the dark, he asked the questions that had been constantly
on his mind. His gaze was so sharp that no one would dare to meet it.
