Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Chapter 1526

Chapter 1526 Death Is Inevitable

Finally, a huge burden was lifted off the shoulders of Sasha and her family when issues about the deal drew to a close.

Sebastian was exceptionally relieved. He was swamped with work during the busy period and lost some weight as a result. Hence, Sasha was thinking of taking a breather by planning for a fall vacation for both of them.

Sabrina texted: You’re going on a trip? Then, who is going to manage the bar? I can’t do it, and Ichika is in Avenport. So, are we going to shut down the business? This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

As soon as Sabrina heard the news at the comfort of her own home at Red Pavilion, she grumbled immediately.

Upon receiving her text, Sasha immediately replied: It’s a short one to relax for several days. We’ll be back before you know it.

Ichika responded: Where are you going, Sha? Are you swinging by Avenport? It’s been ages since we last met. I miss you so much!

Ichika, who had been quiet for a long time, appeared suddenly in the chat group with an invitation to the couple.

Avenport?

Sasha was rather tempted.

That sounds good. After all, it’s the place where we grew up. The weather is great, and our relatives are there. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to pay a visit again?

Upon hanging up, Sasha went upstairs to look for Sebastian, only to see him scribbling something at his desk.

She approached him to take a closer look and realized that he was drawing a familiar map.

“W-Why are you drawing the temple? Are you thinking what I’m thinking?”

“The time bomb needs to be diffused. Moreover, the radiation emitted from the underground lab is very harmful to the monks. It’s going to spell trouble if anyone accidentally walks into it,” he frowned and said while sketching.

Staring at that man, Sasha gulped, completely lost for words.

He’s becoming less and less like himself. In the past, he was always the heartless guy with a God-like presence who never cared about anything other than himself.

Now, he’s like a totally different person—one who is concerned about the safety of others. Is it true that people change and become more thoughtful as they age? But he’s only thirty-five.

Sasha decided to leave him alone and strode to the kitchen to prepare him some nutritious food instead.

Two days later, Sebastian went up to the mountains with Sasha.

While the couple was gone for half a month, Sasha had Tillie man the bar since the latter was in Jadeborough and had time to spare.

Then, it was fall. The temperature in Jadeborough dropped significantly. As age caught up with him, Jonathan’s health deteriorated.

Devin messaged: Sebastian, Grandpa fainted, and he’s in the hospital now. When are you coming over?

Sasha and Sebastian were enjoying some tasty barbecued wild mushrooms when Devin’s message interrupted their tranquil night.

She noticed Sebastian’s creased forehead as he put down the fork and read the text message.

Feeling curious, Sasha asked, “What’s wrong? Something happened?”

Sebastian nodded. “Hmm. Grandpa is in the hospital. Let’s pack up now and make a move.”

Then, he got himself ready hastily.

Hearing so, Sasha wasted no time before they both made their way to the door.

“Hang on, don’t we need to inform Master, Sebby?”

“Whatever for?” Sebastian refused without a second of thought.

Panic-stricken, Sasha held him back and requested that he wait for her in the courtyard while she hurried over to knock at Shin’s door.

“It’s late at night. Is there anything that I can help you with, Mrs. Hayes?”

“Master, we’ve just received news that Grandpa fainted back home and has been rushed to the hospital. Do you want to come with us?” Sasha said anxiously while staring at the monk who answered the door.

A long silence ensued.

The monk turned pale and froze in the dim glow of a night lamp.

Though a monk was supposed to let go of any emotional attachments and entanglements in life, it was usually easier said than done. How many could genuinely practice the ultimate cessation of desires and wants?

I don’t think his religion will force him to detach himself from those who mean a lot to him. Anyhow, blood is thicker than water.

In the end, Shin left for the hospital alongside the Hayes couple.

When they arrived, Jonathan was still in the operating theater.

Cerebral thrombosis…

Grayson’s suspicion put all the Jadesons in low spirits.

With his gaze fixated on the tightly shut doors of the operating theater, Shin’s callused hands were seen clasping onto the prayer beads hung in front of his chest.

After three hours of ordeal, the light at the operating theater finally went out.

Sebastian and Devin quickly rose to their feet and darted forward.
