Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Chapter 26

Luke cut straight to the point. “Are you willing to grab the opportunity that may earn you the right to see Ian every day?”

“Are you serious?” Sasha couldn’t believe her ears.

However, Luke was all business from the other end. “As long as you’re able to treat Mr. Hayes’ condition, I can ensure you that you will get to see Ian every day.”

“What’s wrong with Sebastian?”

Luke told Sasha the truth. “I guess it’s time to stop keeping you in the dark. He didn’t bring you back to Hayes Residence because his blood pressure skyrocketed and he passed out after that fight on the yacht. If you can cure his sleep disorder, I believe he would also agree to my suggestion. I think he’ll offer to let you see Ian unconditionally. What do you think, Madam?”

In order to get Sasha to give her consent, Luke told her everything that happened after the fight.

He’s currently in the hospital? No wonder I didn’t see Ian when we disembarked from the yacht.

Sasha couldn’t help but gloat over Sebastian’s misfortune. “Actually, I do possess the capability to save him. To be honest, he should be glad to be alive.”

Luke replied with an awkward laugh after a few seconds of dead silence. “Now you see why I came to you? Don’t worry. We can work on the details once he’s fully recovered. Although Mr. Hayes refused to let you anywhere near Ian, you’re his biological mother. As long as you drop by his place, you’ll get to

see Ian. Once you develop a close relationship with him, I don’t think Mr. Hayes can stop you from seeing him.”

It was a sweet deal.

All she needed was an opportunity to spend time with Ian to atone for her sins. If she couldn’t get anywhere near her son, she wouldn’t be able to execute the plan to beg for his forgiveness.

After much considerations, Sasha gave her consent and named her conditions.

“Deal! However, I don’t want anyone to restrict my freedom, and I want to stay with my aunt! Otherwise, I’m afraid she’ll storm to Hayes Residence and make a scene.”

“Certainly. As long as you can get Mr. Hayes to fall asleep, we won’t restrict your freedom. You get to arrange your own schedule on one condition—we need to ensure you’re capable of treating Mr. Hayes’ insomnia.” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“That’s but a piece of cake for me!” Sasha replied confidently.

As long as she could plan her schedule, she could take good care of her children without disrupting their daily routine. She would drop them off at the preschool in the morning and pick them up in the evening.

She had confidence in her capability.

Luke said he would drop by and pick her up at the apartment in the evening for one last trial. If she could prove her words, their agreement would officially begin after the trial.

Huh? Is he coming to pick me up soon? If that’s the case, I need to hurry and make my way back to the apartment!

Immediately after Sasha hung up the call with Luke, she told her children, “Matt, Vivi, I need to head out to tend to an emergency. I’ll get Mrs. Grint to drop by and take care of both of you, okay?”

Lucy Grint used to be a maid of the Wand family, but after they filed for bankruptcy, she went to work for Sharon. Throughout the years, she had never turned down a single request from Sasha.

Vivian, who was relatively simple-minded, wasn’t particularly against the idea. On the other hand, when Matteo heard it, he stopped looking at his tablet and looked in Sasha’s direction. “Mommy, where are you going? Are you coming back tonight?”

“Of course! I’ll be away for about two hours! Don’t worry about me, okay?”

Lucy agreed to Sasha’s request without hesitation. When she found out the children had yet to have their meal, she said she would buy some ingredients and make them something to eat.

After Sasha had everything sorted out, she left and made her way back to the apartment.

Meanwhile, Vivian looked at Matteo and asked, “Matt, what’s wrong with you? Why are you staring at Mommy?”

The little girl went after her brother right after he sprinted over to the balcony. Out of curiosity, Vivian crouched by Matteo’s side, looking in the direction of her brother’s gaze.

“I think our foolish mother is on her way to the meanie’s place again!”

“Huh?”

“W-Who’s the meanie you’re talking about? Is Mommy is in danger? Should we rush over to rescue her?” Vivian was horrified by his brother’s words. She almost burst into tears.

“That won’t be necessary for the time being. I’ll pay him a visit tomorrow.”

“Huh? Are you going after the meanie on your own? No! I’ll tag along with you! I will never allow others to bully Mommy!”

“I want you to stay put and cover for me in the preschool. Once I’m done, I’ll tell you what to do next!”

“Okay!”

The siblings arrived at an agreement after a simple discussion.

Shortly after Sasha returned to the apartment, Luke showed up in a car told her to meet him downstairs.

After she got into the car with her medical kit, she asked, “Are we heading to the hospital?”

“No, we’ll be going to Frontier Bay because Mr. Hayes has been discharged.”

The news took Sasha by surprise; she wasn’t ready for what was coming.
