    Scarlett, still breathing heavily, mustered all her strength and turned her head to see Sebastian running


    at full speed. “Hurry up and go after your fiancée. Don’t worry about me.”


    These words were spoken intermittently, threatening to take her life.


    She leaned against the passenger seat, struggling to breathe, yet the suffocating sensation remained.


    Sebastian furrowed his brows and nced at her, not uttering a word. His face cold, he quickly drove


    the car into the hospital.


    Scarlett, weakly stretching out her little hand, saw him holding her and quickly walking towards the


    hospital. She grabbed


    his white shirt.


    “I don’t fancy going to the hospital…”


    As she touched his skin, her cold fingers sent a chill through him, as if the temperature had suddenly


    dropped in anticipation of death, making his heart tremble.


    “Be well, be well. There’s oxygen in the hospital.”


    Afterforting her, Sebastian held her tightly in his arms and walked directly to the clinic.


    The person in charge of the hospital, patrolling the clinic, swiftly greeted Sebastian upon seeing him.


    “Mr. Jackman…”


    “Lanny, heart disease and oxygen!”


    Lanny, d in a white coat,


    She quickly led Sebastian


    about to speak when Sebastian interrupted her.


    woman in his arms, who was unable to breathe, to the ward next door.


    please!”


    “Mr. Jackman, apany me, if you


    Lanny pushed open the door of the empty ward and, with Sebastian’s help, swiftly ced her on the


    bed. He quickly pulled out the oxygen mask and assisted Scarlett in putting it on.


    Scarlett sucked in the fresh oxygen, feeling like a fish out of water that had suddenly returned to the


    pond and been given a new life.


    She grabbed the oxygen mask and desperately inhaled, filling her suffocating heart with oxygen.


    Sebastian saw her face regaining some vitality, and his tense expression slowly returned to its usual


    cold and aloofness.


    He looked at Lanny, inquiringly asking. “How is Scarlett doing with her examination?”


    Lanny, listening for a while, sensed that Scarlett’s heart was not right.

    “After taking in oxygen, she regained her strength. As for the specifics of the situation, she needs to


    undergo further examination.”


    She refrained from speaking recklessly in front of Sebastian before the results of the examination for


    heart failure came out. Sebastian terselymanded. “Conduct a full body examination of her.”


    Lanny nodded. “I’ll go ahead and get the arrangements sorted out.”


    Scarlett, taking in oxygen, overheard the conversation between the two and ceased her struggles.


    No matter how hard she tried, she could not conceal her illness any longer; it was fine if Sebastian


    knew it, sooner orter, whatever.


    After Lanny left, Sebastian took out his mobile phone and called Leo, “Do away with the hotel


    surveince and gag Dev.”


    Leo responded respectfully, “Yes,”


    Only then did Sebastian put down the phone and look down at Scarlett. “Why didn’t you let me know


    you had a heart condition?”


    His expression remained as cold and indifferent as ever, as if he was not concerned about her illness


    but instead med her for concealing it.


    As Scarlett gazed upon his cold and indifferent visage, the faint ripples of emotion that had just been


    stirred up gradually dissipated.


    She raised her hand to remove her oxygen mask in order to speak, but a firm grip on her wrist stopped


    her.


    “Don’t move.”

    Scarlett’s heart was stirred by the man’s pleasant voice, creating ripples of emotion.


    She pressed down on the abnormal heart, attempting to regte the beating frequency, but was


    startled when a man suddenly leaned over, causing the heart to beat even faster.


    Scarlett shrank back involuntarily upon seeing Sebastian’s tall and straight figure, which exuded a


    suffocating sense of oppression.


    However, he did not take note of it. He pushed her onto the bed and bent his head to focus on her


    pallid face. He inquired gently, “Is there anything else that is causing you difort?”


    Sebastian’s rare show of care for her was something that had never urred before, leaving Scarlett


    feeling highly ufortable with the sudden gentleness.


    She pressed her back against the bed, pulling away from him, and only then did she slowly heave a


    sigh of relief.


    She lowered her eyshes and murmured, “Back…”


    This obedient and quiet demeanor was just as it had been when she had followed him, as if nothing


    had changed.


    Sebastian’s face softened slightly from the cold lines.


    He undid the coat from her body and gazed at her back.


    Three dark red iron marks were almost indented into her flesh.


    One could almost see the cracks on the bones, their eye–catching and dazzling appearance standing


    out.
