Unfortunately, Jackson was not interested in the family business at all. Hence, the once successful
Blackwood family company was slowly declining under his management. If it weren’t for the intervention
of his wife, Sharon, there was no telling what the company would look like now. Sebastian decided to
stop prying into Sasha’s life and just wait for her to finish the procedure. “Ugh…” Almost immediately,
there was a flash of pain that struck his head, quickly followed by a numb sensation spreading all the
way down his body. Sasha gave him a cold sidelong glance. “Bear with it!”
Damned woman. I never said I couldn’t take it. A few needles later, the painful throbbing in his head
subsided considerably. Finally feeling at ease, Sebastian’s mood lightened and he continued to ask her
questions. “Besides this, what have you been doing while you were out of the country in the past few
years? I mean academic achievement.” “Academic achievement?” Sasha chuckled dryly. “Mr. Hayes, I’ve
been solely focused on surviving for the past few years.
I wasn’t on vacation, nor did I have time to pursue an academic degree.” “So you’re telling me that after
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfailing the university entrance exam all those years ago, you never resumed studying after leaving the
country?” “Yep, I never continued studying. My education level is still at the high school level. So what
about it? Do you regret letting me into your fancy, schmancy house? And you even let me treat your
illness.” Sasha retorted, her tone was sharp and defensive as she set down the needle. She hadn’t
studied once in the past five years. She barely had the time to do so while taking care of two babies. Of
course, her top priority when bringing her children to a foreign land would be surviving. Where would she
find the time to study?
This man would never understand all the pain and the suffering she had to go through for those five
years. Besides, she gave up on her academic career not because she didn’t pass the university entrance
test, but because she wanted to marry him! She’d secretly tore up her acceptance letter to Yartran’s most
famous School of Economics, as well as the full scholarship that she had rightfully earned. The needle in
Sasha’s hand was nearly bent from how strongly she was gripping it. Sebastian didn’t think she would
get so worked up over the subject. He’d only asked her some questions in order to confirm something.
But why did she lose her temper all of a sudden? Does she blame me for not getting into university?
What a crazy woman! Sebastian’s expression clouded over and he stopped talking. But he didn’t need to
continue with his questions. Unbeknownst to him, Sasha would soon leave behind a piece of paper that
she’d written his prescription on, and her handwriting on the paper would match the Jetroinian
handwriting on the paper she’d left at his office during the daytime. What else is this woman hiding from
me? Sebastian slowly grew dizzier with every passing moment. Sasha was still agitated from all the
quarrels she’d been through that day. She quickly set down the written prescription on a table and
packed up her bag to leave.
She’d had enough of this hellish place and never wanted to come back. But just as she was getting up,
Sebastian suddenly opened his mouth and said, “Your request about letting Ian go to preschool. If you
can find a way, I’ll let you try it out.” Huh? Sasha stopped in her tracks. She would always grow soft as
soon as her children were involved. It didn’t matter how indignant she felt, or how much pain she was in.
“Are you… serious?” “
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYes, but you need to keep me updated on what exactly you are planning to do! Ian has already
expressed that he’s against the idea. If you use any inappropriate methods and end up hurting him, then
you can never see him again!” Due to the treatment, he was slowly starting to trip over his words as he
lay there with his eyes closed. “Don’t worry, I won’t. I’m a doctor, so I understand that at the very least,”
she instantly reassured. She was trying to remain as calm as possible, but if one listened closely, they
would be able to hear that the underlying hatred and impatience that was in her voice earlier was no
longer present.
Now, she was clearly more energized. Sebastian let out a huff, then finally drifted off to sleep. Sasha’s
mind blanked out. After her constant state of distress throughout the night, her brain needed some time
to catch up with the happiness of the sudden surprise. It took her nearly a minute to process the new
information before jumping up from the stool and giddily twirling around in circles. “I’m so happy, Little
Ian! Mommy gets to bring you to preschool now!”
A genuine smile appeared on Sasha’s face for the first time that entire day. Even though she was still
tired and fatigued, relief overwhelmed her as if she had finally grabbed ahold of a floatation device after
having drifted at sea for hours. Sometimes, a mother’s happiness was just that simple.
