âWhat? Mental problems?â
âThatâs right. He was already mad when he was sent over here. Because of his influential background,
Commander Hamilton had no choice but to train him. I donât know how it happened, but he went nuts
and strangled our commander to death last night.â
Perhaps he thought Sasha was Loganâs family, so he described the incident in detail.
Overwhelmed by the news, Sasha felt chills run down her spine. She staggered and was on the verge of
fainting.
No⦠No way, it canât be! I must have heard it wrong or misunderstood his words. The man whom the
sentry is talking about canât be Sebastian!
She was trying to convince herself that it was only a misunderstanding.
But⦠Other than him, who else has a mental disorder and a prominent background?
Standing rooted to the spot for a few seconds, Sasha felt as if the sky had darkened and the clouds
looked grey. Every sight and sound around her faded into the background.
âHello, miss? Are you all right?â
After what seemed like an eternity, Sasha finally pulled herself together. âNo, youâre lying. Heâs not mad.
Heâs recovered!â she retorted, refusing to admit to herself that Sebastian was deranged again.
Still, the sentryâs next sentence gave her a tremendous blow.
âI didnât lie. You can see it for yourself at the asylum. Heâs being contained there. If it wasnât for his
background, he wouldâve been executed on the spot!â
The sentry was enraged. Not only did the woman not seem the slightest bit upset about the tragedy, but
she was also defending the deranged man.
Is she out of her mind? How could she defend the murderer who killed her family?
He was in no mood to continue talking to her.
Sasha shuddered vigorously at his last sentence. In the next second, she seemed to have lost her
senses as she hobbled away.
I donât believe it! He treated me so well yesterday. Though he had had his breakfast, he lied just so he
could take me to the cafeteria for a meal. He didnât even get angry that I kissed him after he walked me
out. How could such a man be a lunatic? No, heâs not crazy! From the beginning till the end, he has
always been normal. Despite his multiple personality disorder, he has never done anything outrageous.
Sasha sprinted forward. In the blink of an eye, she found out the location of the most well-known asylum
in Jadeborough and sped all the way there.
When she finally arrived and found the man who had shaken up the political arena overnight, she was
astonished by what she saw.
In the ward that he had been locked up in, five burly men were surrounding him and pointing their guns
at him. With a malicious smile, he grabbed a syringe and stabbed it into the neck of the nurse he was
holding onto.
âArgh!â
The second crimson red blood gushed out of the nurseâs wound, Sasha collapsed onto the floor with a
loud thud.
It was as though all her hopes were dashed at that moment, and her dreams were shattered into pieces.
The woman could no longer stand it anymore and crumpled.
âAh!â
âSasha!â
âMadam!â
Instantly, cries and screams echoed in the corridor.
Someone dashed toward her, while the man in the ward lifted his head to look in her direction.
Nevertheless, the woman lying on the floor could not see them. All she could do was stare blankly at the
ceiling as blood seeped out of the corner of her lips.
She lifted her hand feebly, trying to say something.
An ambiguous figure darted to her and picked her up from the floor, just as her eyes closed gradually.
Iâm so worn outâ¦
A lifetime is too long for me. Sebastian, itâs been twenty-one years, yet I still canât save you and make up
for the mistake I did back then. Please forgive me. Iâve done everything I can.
â¦
Three days later in General Hospital.
Devin showed up as usual at the ward of the internal medicine department with some steaming dishes
and a stew.
âSabrina, how is she?â
As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw a woman in a white shirt and a denim jacket sitting at the
bedside of the patient. Her hair looked disheveled.
Even her makeup could not conceal her extreme exhaustion.
Hearing his voice, Sabrina looked up. âYouâre here. She hasnât woken up.â
She glanced at him before her eyes fell on the woman on the hospital bed again. Her gaze was filled with
sorrow and worry.
