Chapter 23


    "Mom, I''m sorry." Sabrina''s tears fell on the corner of Grace''s nket. Her voice was a little


    hoarse from crying. "I just joined thepany, so I had to obey the arrangements of my boss.


    My boss made ast-minute decision to send me on a business trip for a few days, so I couldn''t


    "It''s my bad. My health is getting increasingly worse ."


    The tubes on Grace''s body had not yet been removed. She looked at her body, then said with a


    bitter smile, "I do not know if I could still open my eyes again after closing them..."


    "Mom, don''t say that. I do not want you to leave me. If you have left me, then I would be very


    lonely. I do not have much family in this world." Sabrinaid under Grace''s nose and cried her


    heart out.


    Sabrina was just rescued, but she did not return to Sebastian''s ce. She spent the whole day


    at the hospital taking care of Grace instead. Sabrina helped Grace clean her body, washed her


    hair, and clipped her nails. Grace was initially at the brink of passing, but the colors on her face


    became much better again.


    Sabrina did such a thorough job caring for Grace, that Sebastian, the biological son, seemed


    redundant. Most of the time, he just stood quietly on the side and watched the pair of fake


    mother and daughter-inw as they talked andughed.


    After Sabrina watched Grace fall asleep, she left the hospital to return to Sebastian''s and her


    ce.


    When she arrived home, Sabrina returned the emerald green bracelet to Sebastian before


    returning to her bedroom. "Such a valuable thing, I''d better return it to you."


    The bracelet was ced on Sabrina''s hand again by Sebastian when they were on the way to


    the hospital. He looked at Sabrina, did not ept the bracelet, but said soberly, "The bracelet is


    not for you, but for you to wear it to console my mother''s heart."


    Sabrina smiled faintly. "I had never presumed that you would give me anything valuable either."


    After Sebastian saved her this time, Sabrina had more to say to Sebastian.


    "Mr. Ford, when I first met with Aunt Grace, it was Aunt Grace who approached me. She saw


    that I was young, so she pitied me and took care of me. One thing led to another, and then we


    got more acquainted."


    "After that, her health deteriorated. She could not do the work that was overloaded. It was me


    who helped her to finish."


    "This was the friendship we built when we were in prison."


    "I had never been the scheming liar you thought I was."


    "Also, please properly deal with your rtionship with your girlfriend, Selene Lynn. I don''t want


    to have this kind of fatal disaster a second time."


    As soon as she finished, she ced the bracelet on the antique and went into her bedroom


    without waiting for him to say anything.


    Sebastian suddenly had a feeling of being turned away from her.


    His deep, bottomless cold eyes couldn''t help but took another look at her.


    Her short bob hair was a bit disheveled, and her slightly swollen and red cheeks looked crystal


    clear, which made her seem good-looking, charming yet pitiful. However, her expression was


    neither humble nor overbearing, and her eyes were unwaveringly calm.


    She had once again returned to that calm and innocent state as if everything in the world and


    the surroundings had nothing to do with her.


    As a girl who just survived the catastrophe, the man suddenly wondered should she not have


    taken advantage of him by changing her attitude towards him to act cute or give a ttering


    smile to him?


    She did neither.


    It was as if she was living in her world.


    A person like her could not possibly be a scheming liar.


    She seemed more like a weak soul who had wrapped herself up in a shell because she had


    been through many hardships and was used to seeing the insidiousness of the world.


    Sebastian had a heart-wrenching feeling.


    His phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Selene calling. He tapped the answer button


    and asked in a deep voice, "What is it?!"


    "Master Sebastian..." Selene sobbed. Her teeth chattered as she spoke, "I know I''m dead this

    time. I didn''t mean anything else. I only wanted to apologize to you. I would disappear from your


    view forever after I''m clear with you. Could youe down to see me once, Master Sebastian?


    If you don''te down to see me, then I would stay here in the rain until you do."
