Chapter 320


    “Since everything’s settled now, go to bed.”


    Sebastian didn’t think anything was abnormal. After the woman had nothing else to add, he casually


    wished her goodnight before preparing to leave.


    Sasha nodded and bent down to pick up the pieces of paper strewn all over the floor. Unfortunately,


    she identally triggered her injury and soon felt a sharp pang in her body. She immediately cried out


    in pain.


    “What’s wrong?”


    Sebastian’s head whipped at the sound of her cry.


    Her expression drastically changed as she pretended to be fine. “Nothing! I’m just going to put aside


    these pieces of paper. You go ahead and sleep. You still have work tomorrow.”


    She couldn’t let him find out she was injured. Else, given his ill-natured temper, he was sure to


    reprimand her for being useless.


    To her surprise, he didn’t move an inch. He just stood there and narrowed his eyes suspiciously. “You


    sure you’re fine?”


    “Huh?” Sasha arched her brows in confusion.


    In a split second, her mind went into a state of hysteria.


    Huh? Did I say something wrong? Wait! I’ve been staying here under the guise of being injured. If I say


    I’m alright now, that’s digging my own grave. Oh, god. Somebody help me.


    Luckily, she was astute enough to react without dy. She quickly changed her stance and replied,


    “No. No, I’m not doing fine. I haven’t… Um… I haven’t recovered yet.”


    “So, you haven’t regained your health?”


    “Yes! Look. My belly is covered with bruises.”


    His menacing stare utterly frightened her. She hurriedly lifted her shirt to show him her wound.


    Damn it! Is this considered a blessing in disguise? I finally have an injury that’s suitable to parade.


    Sebastian shifted his ominous gaze to the area she had just exposed to him. At the sight of herrge


    bruise, his eyes filled with a murderous glint, and he emanated an air of viciousness.


    He wasn’t oblivious to the fact that she had been feigning her illness.


    He only answered that way so that it would pressurize her to reveal her injury.


    That must be from Roderick. That son of a b*tch.


    With a grim look on his face, he reached out and pushed her hand aside.


    Sasha was taken aback by his action. “Huh-”


    Her doe-like eyes turned watery as she eyed him apprehensively.


    “What… What are you doing? I’m being serious. I’m still injured…”


    “What about it?”


    “Huh?” In a state of frenzy, Sasha found it difficult to keep up with him. All she could do was gape at


    him with trepidation.


    He coldly swept his gaze over her and bent down. Without any warning, he took her by surprise and


    scooped her into his arms.


    Oh my god!


    Sasha’s mind immediately turned nk.


    Am I dreaming?


    Meanwhile, Sebastian’s countenance remainedposed. With a motionless Sasha in his arms, he


    made his way to his own room and gentlyid her on the bed. Then, he left to grab the first aid kit.


    The-The bed…


    Sasha’s heart started racing.


    At the same time, Sebastian strode in with the first aid kit in hand. He took one quick look at the


    woman, who was still transfixed by what had just happened. “Take off your clothes!” he demanded.


    “Huh?” An appalled Sasha looked up to scrutinize the man. “Why do I have to? I’m not going to…”


    “If you don’t, how am I supposed to apply medication for you? Why don’t you get out of my house in


    this state and find someone else to do it for you?”


    His callous tone hinted that there was no room for negotiation.

    Tsk. Why is she acting all pure and innocent? It’s not like we haven’t done anything together before.


    Fortunately, his threat proved to be useful. To avoid having to leave, Sasha peeled off her clothes with


    red-rimmed eyes.


    It was at this moment that Sebastian realized she wasn’t wearing a bra. All she had on was a small


    tank top, probably something casual she slipped on after bathing.


    Damn it!


    Instantly, he felt the heat rise in his body, particrly his abdomen area. With much effort, he reluctantly


    tore his eyes away and focused his eyes on her wound instead.


    It was an enormous bruise, especially so when contrasted with her fairplexion. One look at it was


    enough to tell that it was grave.


    “Did it not cross your mind that he’d kill you?”


    “What?”


    His abrupt question prompted her to turn her reddened face around to face him. At that moment, her


    eyes unexpectedly met his deep-set orbs.


    His cavernous eyes werergely inscrutable, but she could clearly detect the rage and agony in them.


    Sasha felt her heart skip a beat at that moment.


    “I… I didn’t think that far. All I wanted was… To find the cause of Matteo’s illness,” she exined as she


    averted her gaze. Her nervousness made her heart beat faster by the minute.


    Sebastian was stunned by her response for a moment.


    If she really were someone who could sacrifice her life for the sake of her children, then why did she tell


    them she didn’t want them anymore?


    His gaze darkened further before he regained hisposure. He silently took out a bottle of ointment


    and rubbed it in his palms before cing them on her pale, tender skin.


    “Ouch!”


    Sasha immediately yelped.


    The excruciating pain from her wound, coupled with the searing sensation from his warm palms, gave


    her an odd tingle.
