Chapter 26
The Love that Never Really Dies
Luke cut straight to the point. âAre you willing to grab the opportunity that may earn you the right
to see lan every day?â âAre you serious?â Sasha couldn't believe her ears. However, Luke was all
business from the other end. âAs long as you're able to treat Mr. Hayesâ condition, I can ensure you
that you will get to see lan every day.â
"What's wrong with Sebastian?â Luke told Sasha the truth. âI guess it's time to stop keeping you in
the dark. He didn't bring you back to Hayes Residence because his blood pressure skyrocketed and
he passed out after that fight on the yacht. If you can cure his sleep disorder, I believe he would also
agree to my suggestion. I think he'll offer to let you see lan unconditionally. What do you think,
Madam?â In order to get Sasha to give her consent, Luke told her everything that happened after
the fight.
He's currently in the hospital? No wonder I didn't see lan when we disembarked from the yacht. Sasha
couldn't help but gloat over Sebastian's misfortune. âActually, I do possess the capability to save
him. To be honest, he should be glad to be alive.â Luke replied with an awkward laugh after a few
seconds of dead silence.
âNow you see why I came to you? Don't worry. We can work on the details once heâs fully recovered.
Although Mr. Hayes refused to let you anywhere near lan, you're his biological mother. As long as
you drop by his place, you'll get to see lan. Once you develop a close relationship with him, I donât
think Mr.
Hayes can stop you from seeing him.â It was a sweet deal. All she needed was an opportunity to
spend time with lan to atone for her sins. If she couldn't get anywhere near her son, she wouldn't be
able to execute the plan to beg for his forgiveness. After much considerations, Sasha gave her
consent and named her conditions. âDeal! However, I don't want anyone to restrict my freedom, and
I want to stay with my aunt! Otherwise, I'm afraid she'll storm to Hayes Residence and make a scene.
" âCertainly. As long as you can get Mr. Hayes to fall asleep, we won't restrict your freedom. You get
to arrange your own schedule on one conditionâwe need to ensure you're capable of treating Mr.
Hayesâ insomnia.â
âThat's but a piece of cake for me!â Sasha replied confidently. As long as she could plan her
schedule, she could take good care of her children without disrupting their daily routine.
She would drop them off at the preschool in the morning and pick them up in the evening. She had
confidence in her capability. Luke said he would drop by and pick her up at the apartment in the
evening for one last trial. If she could prove her words, their agreement would officially begin after
the trial.
Huh?
Is he coming to pick me up soon? If that's the case, I need to hurry and make my way back to the
apartment! Immediately after Sasha hung up the call with Luke, she told her children, âMatt, Vivi, I
need to head out to tend to an emergency. I'll get Mrs. Grint to drop by and take care of both of
you, okay?â Lucy Grint used to be a maid of the Wand family, but after they filed for bankruptcy, she
went to work for Sharon. Throughout the years, she had never turned down a single request from
Sasha. Vivian, who was relatively simple-minded, wasn't particularly against the idea
On the other hand, when Matteo heard it, he stopped looking at his tablet and looked in Sasha's
direction. âMommy, where are you going? Are you coming back tonight?â âOf course! I'll be away
for about two hours! Don't worry about me, okay?â Lucy agreed to Sasha's request without
hesitation.
When she found out the children had yet to have their meal, she said she would buy some
ingredients and make them something to eat. After Sasha had everything sorted out, she left and
made her way back to the apartment. Meanwhile, Vivian looked at Matteo and asked, âMatt, what's
wrong with you? Why are you staring at Mommy?"
The little girl went after her brother right after he sprinted over to the balcony. Out of curiosity,
Vivian crouched by Matteo's side, looking in the direction of her brother's gaze. âI think our foolish
mother is on her way to the meanieâs place again!â "Huh?" âW-Who's the meanie you're talking
about? Is Mommy is in danger?
Should we rush over to rescue her?â Vivian was horrified by his brother's words. She almost burst
into tears. âThat won't be necessary for the time being.
I'll pay him a visit tomorrow.â âHuh? Are you going after the meanie on your own? No! I'll tag along
with you! I will never allow others to bully Mommy!â âI want you to stay put and cover for me in the
preschool. Once I'm done, I'll tell you what to do next!" âOkay!â The siblings arrived at an agreement
after a simple discussion.
Shortly after Sasha returned to the apartment, Luke showed up in a car told her to meet him
downstairs. After she got into the car with her medical kit, she asked, âAre we heading to the
hospital?â âNo, we'll be going to Frontier Bay because Mr. Hayes has been discharged.â The news
took Sasha by surprise; she wasn't ready for what was coming.
