Chapter 1317

You Have To Go Back

Despite that, she was still working hard.

Sasha was extremely pleased at this.

It seemed as if this Jetroinian young lady was truly a good pick.

“What are you up to?”

She was still in the midst of a fun conversation when Sebastian walked in with her medicine.



At the sight of him walking in, she quickly tucked her phone away.

“Nothing. I was just chatting with Sab and the others for a bit.”



“Chatting? I thought we already made it clear that you have to rest. Your eyes are already so red.
Remember what Haruto said? You shouldn’t be looking at any blue-light screens or electronic devices in
general,” Sebastian said worriedly.

His dark irises were filled with concern but also a hint of anger at the woman in front of him for not
heeding their warnings.

Sasha quickly fell silent.

She lowered her head in both shame but also grievance.



It wasn’t like she wanted to purposely go against their advice, but sometimes she just couldn’t help it.
Besides, hadn’t they already found a way to control the bacteria inside her body?

There was no way she was really going to go blind, right?

“I’m sorry, Sebby. I won’t do it again, so please don’t be angry at me.”

All she could do was give in.

Sebastian finally relaxed at her apology. One glance at her reddening eyes had him feeling regret and
heartache, so he reached out to pull her into his embrace.

“I’m sorry. I was too harsh.”

“No, you weren’t. I know you’re doing it for my own good. I won’t look at my phone again, okay?”

Sasha felt even worse at the sound of Sebastian blaming himself and hugged the man back.

“Promise me that you’ll listen to whatever the doctors say until we have a proper cure for you?”
Sebastian murmured. “Don’t do anything they tell you not to, all right?”

“All right,” Sasha agreed obediently.

Of course she would agree.

After all, Sebastian had done many things for her. He might not have mentioned any of it, but she knew
about it all.

In order to look for those ingredients, Sebastian had worked himself to the bone. His eyes had become
more sunken in the past few days, and even his pretty charcoal irises couldn’t hide the fact that they
were bloodshot.



He must have been utterly exhausted, especially after experiencing so much.

That’s why she decided from now on to just listen and do nothing else. She would be good.

Sasha eventually fell asleep in Sebastian’s arms. He tucked her in gently before finally leaving the room.

“Mr. Hayes, has Madam fallen asleep?”

“Yes.”

“Dr. Shoki was looking for you. He said he has something to discuss,” Karl said slightly hesitantly.

He had been standing outside for a while now, and he wasn’t sure whether or not he should tell
Sebastian about it.

Ever since Xayden had discovered the bacteria’s weakness, every single time Haruto had called for
them, it hadn’t been good news.

It was either that their experiments had failed once again or that the materials they had scoured the
entire world to find weren’t working.

It was to the point that Karl could very clearly see Sebastian’s instinctive reaction to hearing that Haruto
called for them, which was an obvious frown and stress appearing in his darkened gaze.

Despite that, they didn’t have any other choice but to go over.

Sebastian finally arrived at Haruto’s office.

“Mr. Hayes, after mine and Xayden’s countless experiments, we have arrived at a decision. Based on the
rate at which your wife’s body is deteriorating, we don’t have time to wait until we find the other materials.
We decided to find the problem from her body itself, and hopefully, we can get to the root cause.”



“The root cause?” Sebastian frowned. “What do you mean?”

“What we mean, Mr. Hayes, is that we find what caused this problem in the first place. In this case, it’s
the fetus that was once forced into her womb, so we would like to start from there,” Xayden said.

Sebastian was taken aback by Xayden’s words.

This was something he hadn’t thought of, and also something he was extremely reluctant to touch upon.

It was like a scar that never properly healed and would rip open again at the mere mention of it, fresh
and bloody.

Sebastian fell silent.

“Mr. Hayes, have you forgotten where it was left?”

Haruto visibly deflated.

“No, I remember,” Sebastian said as he shook his head. He remembered Sasha telling him that the child
had been buried under the thousand-year maple tree.

“That’s good. Bring it over as soon as possible. I know this is hard for you, Mr. Hayes, but based on my
last few days of research, I’m sure I can find the origin of the bacteria in that child’s bones.”

“Yes!” Xayden nodded in agreement.

“Because Felicity forced that child to be born, she also forced your wife’s body to go through unnatural
changes. That means that this child is actually one of her experiments, Mr. Hayes.”

The room fell into silence once again.



Finally, Sebastian stood up.

“Okay. I’ll go get it, and I’ll bring it back latest by tomorrow,” he decided.

After that, he walked straight out of the office.

When Karl heard Sebastian walking out, he silently followed behind him up until Sebastian reached the
door of the hospital ward.
