Why did she get the pills early in the morning?
Meanwhile, Roxanneâs expression darkened upon seeing the two bottles of medicine that she prescribed
for Sebastian.
Although Sebastian was okay throughout the month, he still had to take medicine for the time being.
After all, mental illness wouldnât go away entirely but only subside until the patientsâ bodies could
produce certain hormones at a normal rate.
Therefore, Roxanne had been prescribing medicine for Sebastian throughout the month.
Roxanne grabbed the two bottles of medicines and went to Hayes Corporation.
She arrived at the penthouse suite of Hayes Corporation half an hour later.
âMr. Scott, please be honest with meâwhere is he now? He said he would leave for only two days. Now
that itâs already the third day, why hasnât he come back? Do you know he has to take his medicine every
day?â
âAh?â
Cold sweat was dripping down Lukeâs forehead.
Although Luke was aware of Sebastianâs schedule, he couldnât control the turn of eventsâSebastian
couldnât return as planned due to some emergencies.
Luke tried his best to explain, âMs. Rocke, Mr. Hayes has indeed planned to go on a business trip for two
days. However, he has to delay his plan because something untoward happened.â
Luke didnât lie, for Sebastian told him so before he left.
Initially, the business trip wasnât on Sebastianâs schedule at all.
Sebastian decided to leave at the last minute only after someone from Moranta met him specifically.
Besides, it was supposed to be a short trip, for Sebastian planned to come back once he finished dealing
with the matter.
Nonetheless, no one expected something untoward from happening.
Roxanne stared at Luke doubtfully. âIs there anything more important than Sebastianâs health? Do you
know the consequences that he stops taking medicine? Is this how you be his secretary?â
Anger clouded Roxanneâs face, and she couldnât help but scold Luke right away.
Luke was scared to death. After quite some time, he asked feebly, âIn that case⦠what should we do?â
âWhat should we do? Weâve to ask him to come back as soon as possible! You can also tell me where he
is now, and Iâll try to send the medicine over to him,â Roxanne proposed angrily.
Luke instantly chose the first option. âAlright, Iâll ask Mr. Hayes right away to come back as soon as
possible.â
Well, how can I possibly let her send the medicine?
Iâll be as good as dead as I do it!
Sasha finally woke up after the sound sleep.
The room was lit with orange light. Besides, Sasha was dazed by the twinkling lights of the city at night
from the window.
Not long afterward, she saw a man sitting at a table next to the window.
The man wore a blue hoodie and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. At that time, he lowered his gaze and
frowned as he stared at the phone.
Oh my goodness! My flight!
When the thought flashed through her mind, Sasha instantly got up and yelled, âMy god! What time is it
now? Did I miss my flight?â
Lance, who was about to reply to a text message, said, âYouâre awake.â
âYes, Lennie. What time is it now? Please check it for me. Iâve already booked flight tickets for tonight.â
Sasha forgot that one of her legs was injured when she jumped from the bed. As such, she gasped in
pain the moment she landed.
Lanceâs lips twitched upon seeing it.
Nevertheless, he still looked at his watch on his wrist and replied, âItâs 9.15 p.m. now. What time is the
flight?â
âWhat? 9.15 p.m.? Why didnât you wake me up? I booked tickets for 8 p.m., and the flight has certainly
left. What should we do?â
Sasha was on the verge of total breakdown.
It was extremely difficult to book a flight ticket these days. After all, many people wished to escape the
city due to a series of terrorist attacks.
Hence, Sasha waited patiently for quite some time in the afternoon to grab the tickets.
On the contrary, Lance seemed rather composed.
âItâs okay. We can book the flights for tomorrow.â
âTomorrow?â Sasha whined, âDonât you know how dangerous it is now? The longer we stay, the more
likely we are in danger.â
âIn that case, do you think weâll be safe on the plane tonight? Everyone has the same mindset as yours
in the warzone. Also, since everyone desperately wants to escape, those who fail to do so might trigger
riots,â Lance stared at Sasha coldly and rebutted in disdain.
Sasha finally went silent.
Is that so?
My goodness. Fortunately, we didnât go to the airport tonight. I canât imagine what we could do if
something happens there.
At that time, Sashaâs anger and disappointment faded away.
âOkay then. Iâll book tickets again tomorrow. By the way, have you had dinner? Weâ¦â
Sasha was about to suggest to have dinner.
As a thought flashed through her mind suddenly, Sasha turned around and realized that the room was
different from hers. She finally recalled what happened before she fell asleep.
My god! What did I do in the evening?
