Chapter 125
“What’s going on?”
Sebastian’s expression slowly cooled, and his gaze became icy.
“Dev hit him?”
Scarlett quickly shook her head. “It’s not him, it’s James…”
“Make it clear,” Sebastian said with a frown.
Scarlett had no alternative but to divulge to him all that had transpired in the hotel.
The man, his brows tightly knitted, relaxed slightly upon realizing that she had not done that with Dev.
Upon hearing that she was almost violated by the bodyguards brought by James, his thick eyebrows
that had just relaxed furrowed together again.
Almost instinctively, the man took out his phone and made another call. “Deedy Hunt, terminate
James!”
Upon receiving the call from the President, Vice President Hunt promptly responded with respect,
“Affirmative.”
Scarlett looked at Sebastian who was on the phone, and was taken aback; he had actually been
helping her deal with James.
Did he help her because he knew she had almost been touched by someone else, or was it out of care
for her?
Scarlett thought of Vice President Hunt, who James mentioned, and could not help but ask him, “Is that
Deedy… Vice President Hunt?”
Upon hearing this, Sebastian’s expression remained unchanged, yet his eyes shifted slightly and he This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
gave a slight nod in
response.
Scarlett’s face sank when she saw him nod, and James accused her of having colluded with Vice
President Hunt to deceive him, even suspecting that Vice President Hunt was Mr. Yea.
She wanted to ask Sebastian what was happening, without giving away that she had been intimate
with Mr. Yea.
She was afraid that he would be angry and think her promiscuous, and even more fearful of his verbal
insults, so she dared not speak.
Sebastian gazed at Scarlett, whose face was ashen, and lifted his hand to caress her cheek. “Hang in
there for a bit,” he said. His broad palm almost encompassed her little face, and as his fingers
repeatedly caressed her face, Scarlett felt as if she were in a dream.
The man in front of her seemed to be deeply concerned for her wellbeing, as if her safety was etched
into his very bones.
Sebastian, upon seeing her eyes wide open in disbelief, snapped back to reality, swiftly released his
hand, spun around, and hastened out.
Scarlett, peering through the ward’s glass, observed that he appeared to be instructing the female
doctor, Lanny, to examine her back first.
Lanny soon entered with an armful of instruments, and under Sebastian’s watchful eye, she began to
inspect the wound on
Scarlett’s back.
“The soft tissue on your back has been injured. I’ll give you some medication to help with the pain first.
Hang in there a bit.”
After Lanny finished speaking, she took out a can of ointment, scooped a spoonful into her palm,
rubbed it open, and applied it to her back.
Scarlett felt the gentle technique, yet it was so piercingly painful that it made her sweat cold.
Sebastian stepped forward and gently held Scarlett’s trembling shoulder, the warmth of his palm
causing her to grit her
teeth and bear it.
Lanny, after experiencing a piercing pain, took additional tubes of blood for testing.
Scarlett, exhausted after a round of torture, closed his eyes, wanting to fall asleep, yet feeling uneasy.
He glanced at
Sebastian
“Mr. Jackman…
She forced herself to keep her eyes open and looked at Sebastian, who was sitting in front of the
hospital bed and watching over her. “Can you let Mr. Gatsby go ahead?”
Her peach blossom eyes, which had finally softened, suddenly grew cold again as she continued to
think of Dev.,
“Look after yourself first!”
Without so much as a backward glance, Sebastian rose and departed.

Scarlett helplessly sighed as the watched the cold and distant figure disappear from her sight.
Sebastian remained as cold and unfeeling as ever.
After Lanny had tested the blood, she returned the report to the ward, yet Sebastian was nowhere to
be seen
Believing he had gone, she gave the report directly to Scarlett, who was reclining on the bed.
“Miss Sales, your heart is deteriorating rapidly. Why haven’t you been admitted to the hospital?
Scarlett, feeling drowsy a few times, heard Lanny’s voice and mustered the strength to stand. He
extended his arm to take the report from her.
“Being hospitalized is just like waiting for death in a different location…”
Her voice was laden with inexhaustible despair, as if she were prepared to die.
Lanny had sent many patients who could not be treated, so she had little reaction to this.
Lanny was somewhat apprehensive about the woman whom Mr. Jackman had brought along.
“Does Mr. Jackman know?”
Scarlett shook her head.
Lanny, upon seeing this, understood it in her heart.
“Do you want me to inform him?”
Scarlett was surprised by her question.
She thought Lanny would tell Sebastian directly, but she hadn’t anticipated him asking for her opinion
first.
