Chapter 27


    Sasha’s heart was pounding. The first time she saw Sebastian was five years ago, on their wedding day.


    The next day, he left her. She never saw him again, much less set foot in his house at Frontier Bay.


    Sasha could vividly recall her times at Hayes Residence. She knew Sebastian had other properties, but


    she was afraid of poking her nose into his business.


    She never tried to inquire about him or mention his name for fear that he knew she had feigned her


    own death. The trip down memory made her realize her life back then was a disgrace.


    She found it ironic to set foot into Frontier Bay of all ces five yearster.


    On their way there, Sasha admired thete-Autumn view in the city. She caught a glimpse of passersby


    wandering on the street. The faint illumination from themp posts made the bustling city seemed so


    lonely.


    “Madam, Mr. Hayes has just been discharged from the hospital. When you see him, can you please be


    merciful and tolerate his irrational behavior if he isn’t being his best self? I’m afraid if he gets worked up


    again, he’ll…”


    Sasha looked at Luke through the rearview mirror and stated nonchntly, “You don’t have to worry. As


    a doctor, I’m aware of the do’s and don’ts better than you. No matter what, I’ll turn a blind eye.”


    Luke heaved a long sigh of relief.


    Actually, he couldn’t wait to figure out how she became a renowned doctor after five years.


    However, he kept his queries to himself when they drove into the garden of the majestic vi.


    He elerated the car and reached Royal Court One, which was situated in Frontier Bay, ten minutes


    later.


    Sasha thought they had pulled by in front of a pce. The breathtaking rows of sculptures lined up at the


    entrance of the vi as though soldiers had gathered around and to guard the garden.


    Along the hallway were marble stone archways with drooping gold roses. Sasha was impressed by those


    remarkable pieces and couldn’t help but imagine the scene of exotic flowers and nts in the garden.


    Her jaw dropped open as she gaped at the ostentatious decorations.


    Has he been living in such a great environment all this while? Am I supposed to consider myself lucky to


    be given the chance to visit this majestic vi while I’m still alive?


    While she feasted her eyes, Luke took his leave. “Madam, Royal Court One belongs to Mr. Hayes. You


    just have to walk down these archways, and you’ll reach the entrance at the end.”


    Am I supposed to go in myself? Doesn’t he need to announce my arrival or something?


    Sasha snapped out of her confusion and turned to Luke. “Aren’t you going in with me? I have never been


    here before! And you haven’t announced my arrival. I don’t think I should make my way in


    unannounced…”


    “It’s fine, Madam. I have informed Mr. Hayes of your arrival. Please feel free to make your way in.”


    Luke, who was in the car, assured her with a bright grin.


    Little did she know, he had his feet on the elerator and would depart the moment she walked into


    Sebastian’s vi.


    Oblivious to Luke’s ploy, Sasha strode into the vi boldly with her medical kit.


    To be honest, I’d be lying if I’m not afraid at all. I don’t even know why I’m here anymore!


    A few minutester, she finally arrived at the gate of Royal Court One.

    She felt a sense of relief and thought Luke had told him the truth. It wasn’t as intimidating as she


    expected.


    Initially, she thought the ce would be heavily guarded, but nobody stopped her as she strode down the


    magnificent archways.


    She glimpsed a beam of sh and hurried her way to the source of light while clutching her kit.


    Where’s the rest of the family?


    Sasha was slightly taken aback by the dested surroundings. She noticed she was the only person in


    the spacious and elegant courtyard.


    Are they upstairs?


    As she stepped into the foyer to go up the stairs, she saw a pair of pink indoor sandals that belonged to


    a woman on the shoe rack.


    The delicate-looking pair of sandals with daisies was amongst the countless pairs of men’s leather


    shoes. The ones that caught her eye the most were the miniature shoes belonging to a child.


    Judging by the shoes that were avable, it seemed to belong to a family of three.


    Sasha couldn’t tear her eyes away from it. She had an awful sensation deep down, as though an


    important part of her was shredded into pieces.


    This pair of shoes belong to the woman, huh? How ironic! I didn’t even get to visit this vi back when we


    were engaged! Now, she has be a member of the household and an important character amongst


    the family of three! Does that mean she’s Ian’s stepmother?


    Sasha stood right at the entrance with colors drained from her face.


    Whenever she recalled her pathetic life five years ago, hatred and grudges would engulf her. She could


    barely pull herself together.
