Chapter 169


    As they left the hospital, Sebastian Simons scolded her angrily, "Do you think your head is made of


    iron? Did I ask you to shield me from the bottle? You should have just stayed by the side and do


    nothing in such a dangerous situation."


    "You were standing up for me. How could I just stand at the side and leave you in danger?


    Regardless, I have to thank you for today." she said.


    Sebastian waved his hand, "You''re wee. I would still save you even if you were a stranger."


    A trace of sadness shed in Abigail''s eyes. Sebastian was indirectly telling her that he was just


    saving her without any other implications. It was merely out of an instinct to do what was righteous.


    "I''ll give the 20 million back to you."


    "You don''t have to pay me back. Just treat it as a reward for giving the evidence to me," he said.


    "I will definitely pay you back. I gave the evidence to you because of my love for you, but you didn''t


    pay twenty million dors for the same reason. I won''t repay you if you are doing this because you


    still have feelings for me," she insisted.


    Only love was immeasurable. Everything else had to be ounted clearly.


    Sebastian shrugged his shoulders and said, "Just do whatever you want then."


    He wouldn''t lie and say that he still had her in his heart to avoid her repaying the 20 million dors.


    "Get in the car, I''ll send you back," he offered.


    This time, Abigail did not refuse and silently got into his car. The two of them were quiet along the


    way, and the car stopped at her apartment. She got off the car and asked him, "Would you like to go


    up and have a seat?"


    Sebastian shook his head, "No, it''s toote."


    "Okay. Please be careful on your way back."


    "Okay. You should also pay attention to your wound," he replied.


    He started the engine and drove away. Five minutester, he heard an unfamiliar ringtoneing


    from a phone. He looked down in confusion and saw that Abigail had left her phone in his car.


    It was Abigail''s aunt. Sebastian knew that Abigail had an aunt and he had seen her once before. He


    was hesitating whether he should pick up the call, but considering that he had broken up with


    Abigail, it would be a little strange for him to pick up her calls again. He hung up the phone, turned


    the car around and drove back.


    When he returned to Abigail''s apartment, he took her phone and knocked on the door, but nobody


    answered. Seeing that the door was notpletely closed, he reached out to push the door open


    and called out softly, "Abigail, are you there?"


    No one responded. He hesitated for a few seconds before stepping into the apartment and put the


    phone on the table.


    He was about to leave when he bumped into Abigail. She asked in surprise, "Sebastian, didn''t you


    leave earlier?"


    He pointed to the phone, "You left your phone in my car. Your aunt called you just now. I was afraid


    that it was urgent, so I came to send it back."


    Abigail patted her forehead, "It seems like my mind was in a mess today. I was never a forgetful


    person in the past."


    She smiled embarrassedly, pointed to the couch in the living room and said, "Since you''re here,


    have a drink before you go."


    "It''s alright. You should rest early."


    Sebastian was going to leave, but Abigail pulled him down onto the couch. "Even if you want to


    keep a distance from me, you don''t have to act so cold."


    She ran to the refrigerator and said while pouring some fruit juice, "I went to throw the garbage just


    now. I was wondering why there was a car that looked like yours parked in front of my ce when I


    came back."


    Sebastian took the juice from her hand and drank it up. He had a fight and went to the hospital. He


    was indeed a little thirsty.


    "Where did Ethan go? Why haven''t I seen himtely?" he asked.


    Abigail''s eyes shed, "He went to perform overseas."


    "Aren''t you nning to ept his love? He''s more suitable for you than me." Sebastian said.


    "Love is not just aboutpatibility. It''s futile if I don''t have any feelings for him," she answered.


    Sebastian nodded his head, "In that case, you tell him your thoughts clearly. Let him go earlier so


    that he could pursue his own happiness. He is the only son in my uncle''s family."


    "Okay, got it."


    Sebastian put down the cup and stood up, "Take care of yourself. I''m leaving."


    He took a few steps when Abigail suddenly hugged him tightly from behind and sobbed, "Sebastian,


    can''t you stay here tonight?"


    Sebastian stiffened and he immediately pushed her hand away from his waist. He said sternly, "I am


    a married man now. Please behave yourself."


    "Just one night, if you spend this night with me, I will disappear from your world, together with all of


    our beautiful memories."


    Abigail hugged him again, but Sebastian was already annoyed. He pushed her away and growled,


    "Don''t make me look down on you."


    His roar made him feel a little dizzy. He tried to shake his dizziness away but he felt like the world


    was spinning and his sight was blurred. Abigail walked up to him and helped him up, "Sebastian,


    what''s wrong?"


    His body became weaker, and his vision became darker. Just before he passed out, he felt that he


    was dragged into the bedroom by Abigail and was put on the bed. Her face was getting closer to


    him. Finally, he cked out andpletely lost his consciousness...


    That night, the crickets outside the window made extremely mournful sound. When he woke up, it


    was already eight o''clock in the morning. Sebastian rubbed his heavy head as he tried to recall what


    had happenedst night. He peeled off the nket that was covering his body. When he saw that


    he waspletely naked, he felt as if all the blood vessels in his body had burst....


    He picked up the pants on the floor and put them on frantically. He kicked the bathroom door open


    with blood- shot eyes and strangled Abigail, who was standing under the shower. He pushed her


    against the wall and shouted hysterically, "What did you do to mest night?"


    Abigail turned pale as she was being strangled, but she answered honestly, "I did what we used to


    do three years ago."


    "Go to hell!"


    Sebastian was furious andpletely lost control of his emotions. He increased the strength on his


    hands and Abigail''s face turned from pale to purple. The wound on her forehead was bleeding due


    to the impact of banging on the wall. Blood was flowing down her cheeks to her corbone, and


    then to the ce where Sebastian''s name was tattooed on.

    "I... love... you..."


    Abigail was about to suffocate, but she used herst strength to squeeze these three words out of


    her mouth. Sebastian nced at his name that was tattooed on her chest. It was stained with blood.


    He suddenly sneered.


    He let go of his hand. His grasp could''ve ended Abigail''s life in one more minute. He said with cold


    and desperate eyes, "Youpletely disgust me." Four-years of rtionship and three years of wait


    had finally vanished at this moment. Sebastian had never felt more regretful for falling in love with


    Abigail before.


    Abigail fell down in front of him and cried weakly, "Sebastian, it''s not like we''ve never done it before.


    Why do you have to treat me so cruelly..."


    Sebastian looked down at the woman beside his feet. At this point, he could no longer treat her as


    the innocent girl who was sitting in Spicy Pasta Shop with an angelic smile few years back. He was


    completely disappointed with her.


    "From now on, I don''t want to see you ever again...!"


    Sebastian turned around lifelessly and disappeared from Abigail''s sight. He thought that three years


    would only change their thoughts, but he didn''t expect that what had changed was much more


    complicated than their thoughts.


    His felt heartbroken not because of Abigail''s change, but because of his wife. He didn''t know how to


    face her.


    The Mansion House was filled with a heavy and sad atmosphere. As soon as Sebastian returned


    home, Yasmine Taylor asked him anxiously, "Where did you gost night?"


    He looked at his wife and his heart ached, as if being twisted by a knife. He thought that he would


    be loyal to her even at the cost of his life, thus he had lost the courage to confess to her. He said in


    a hoarse and tired voice, "I drank too much with my friendst night and slept in the bar."


    Something serious had happened in the family, so Yasmine did not think further about the truth in


    his words. Instead, she rushed forward and said, "Tiffany is gone."


    Sebastian was stunned, "Where did she go..."


    "Look."


    Yasmine handed him the note that was left by her sister-inw this morning. Her parents-inw had


    already gone out to look for her, and she was the only one who was sitting beside the phone at


    home to see if her sister-inw would call.


    Sebastian trembled and looked at the note. "Dad, Mom, Brother, Yasmine, I''m leaving. Please


    forgive me for leaving without a word. After having a new chance at life, I want to re-examine my


    life. What is my dream? What is my desire? Where is my life''s destination? Don''t try to find me. I will


    be in a ce where no one knows who Tiffany Simons is. I will start a new life there. That kind of life


    must be without the protection of my parents, without the love of my brother and sister-inw, and


    without the presence of Fynn. It may take around five years, but when I be an independent


    person who could still stand strong without relying on all of you, who would live on proudly even if I


    had lost my love, I wille home."


    Sebastian closed his eyes and let the note in his hand float to the ground. He took two steps


    forward and gently held Yasmine in his arms.


    His head was buried in her hair and his body was trembling. Yasmine could feel his anguish, but


    when she was about to break free and ask him what should they do, Sebastian held her tighter.


    "Don''t say anything. Just let me hold you for a while."


    At this moment, he was really heartbroken. He felt sorry for his sister, for himself, and for Yasmine.
