Chapter 107
The Love that Never Really Dies
âMommy!â Matteo's voice echoed loudly in the ward. âMatt! My sweet little boy!â Sasha hugged him
tight as she called his name, her voice almost breaking in tears. She could not believe she was
holding Matteo in her arms again just when she thought she had lost him. In the meantime, lan
stood in the distance as he watched the exhilarated lot. He also wanted to run into his mother's
embrace, but he did not dare to. It was his fault that his brother almost ended up dying, and it was
his fault his mother was severely injured. The guilty child stood still at his place, worried that his
mother would not like him anymore and that she would never forgive him.
But amidst the excitement of meeting her two children again, Sasha turned around and blinked her
watery eyes, looking for her eldest son. âlan? lan, why are you standing there? Come here..." Sasha
already knew that lan had found out that she was his mother since Jackson had told her about it in
the morning. lanâs face lighted up in joy when Sasha called out to him. He sped over and plunged
himself into her mother's arms. Just as the mother and children were enjoying their reunion, a
towering figure appeared at the door. Sebastian's silhouette was clearly defined under the rays of
the setting sun.
He had his hands casually tucked in the pockets of his slacks and had his suit unbuttoned, revealing
a moss green handmade shirt underneath. He took a step forward into the room, stepping out of
the sun before leaning against the wall. His sculpted face did not show a single hint of emotion as
he stood there quietly, making the ambiance tense all of a sudden. Sasha's heart skipped a beat as
she watched Sebastian came in. âYou're here...â she greeted him weakly. She knew she was partly to
blame for the whole incident. If she had told him from the very beginning that his other son was still
alive and was with her, all this might not have happened. More importantly, she had hidden that kid
right under his nose. Her shifty gaze darted at Sebastian now and again, but he did not even look at
her in the face. Instead, he went over to the table and took up her medical record.
The air in the room was getting unbearably stiff when Vivian finally spoke. âMommy, I miss you so
much. Look at my face. I've lost so much weight because I missed you too much.â She crawled into
her mother's bed and snuggled in her motherâs blanket. The girl poked her head out of the blanket
and put her face up close to Sasha so she could have a good look at her. Sasha giggled and stroke
her cheeks tenderly. âHm, I think my little sweetie did lose some weight.â âPromise me you'll make
me fried chicken when you feel better, Mommy? You always make the best fried chicken,â Vivian
requested. Her soft and affectionate voice could simply melt anybody's heart. Sasha pinched her
chubby cheeks and smiled at her daughter lovingly. Just as Sasha was about to promise her
daughter, she felt a piercing gaze burning in her direction. She looked up uneasily and met
Sebastian's glare. He was watching Vivien intently with his brows locked when he caught Sasha
looking at him. All of a sudden, he became conscious of his actions and cleared his throat
awkwardly. Sebastian could not deny that he did not like that little girl, but every time he saw her
being sweet to anyone but him, an unaccountable feeling of anger rose in his heart. Come on, do I
really look that fierce?
I took care of her for two days! But she's never this nice to me! Sasha looked at the unwelcoming man
and mustered her courage to strike a conversation. âThank you for taking care of the kids for the
past two days.â Regardless of how he had felt towards her earlier, she was grateful to him for saving
her and Matteo. Thus, Sasha could only tread carefully to see if he was still resentful. âYou don't
have to thank me for taking care of my own kids,â Sebastian replied apathetically, âBut since you're
awake already, you can take the girl with you.â Sasha's brows arched in surprise. âTake her with me?
Where to?â âHow would I know? Bring her to her dad, of course. Are you asking me where your
husband is?â Sebastian questioned her back spitefully.
He had resentment written all over his face, and his tone was bitter. That man could not believe he
had to talk with her about this topic that disgusted him so. Meanwhile, Sasha was completely at a
loss for words. So he doesn't know that this is his own daughter? Don't tell me he could only recognize
Matteo but not Vivian. Sasha was beyond speechless, but deep in her heart, she felt a flicker of
relief. At least I get to keep Vivian to myself. This is better than losing both Matteo and Vivian at the
same time. âWhat's wrong? Feeling ashamed of your past? Oh, don't you worry because I'm not
interested in your love life at all. We ended five years ago, so I won't do anything to your man.â
"He's dead.â After a long pause, Sasha muttered under her breath, her grip tightening around her
little girl. It was now Sebastian's turn to fall into silence. Dead again? Is she like a black widow or
something? Why is everyone dead?
