Chapter 3
The Love that Never Really Dies
âIs it? Don't lie to me.
Do you remember the last time when you tricked the teacher into ruining the computer so that the
students could take a day off? Did you really do nothing bad this time?â âEh...â These teachers are
pestering me! Ugh! How could Mommy think badly of me? Am I really a troublemaker in her
eyes? âLast time, I only taught them to play a little game on the computer.â
Then, he changed the topic. âMommy, I'm hungry. Can we go home now?" In the end, Sasha had no
choice but to let him off. She bade the teachers goodbye and brought the little ones home. After
they arrived home, Sasha busied herself in the kitchen to prepare dinner. However, before she was
done, the hospital called.
"Dr. Nancy, the committee has agreed to let you take over the patient. Is it convenient for you to
come back now?â âNow?â The nurse replied helplessly over the phone, âYes. The patient's family
member is here as well. She wishes to speak to you after she learned of the committee's decision.â
This type of patient and their family members were a headache. Perhaps it was a common trait of
the rich to boss around as though they owned the world. In the end, Sasha agreed to head back to
the hospital. âMatt, I need to go to the hospital now. Can you stay at home with Vivi and have
dinner with her?â âOf course.
Mommy, donât worry. I will take good care of Vivian.â Matteo behaved like a mature young man as
he waved at his mom, reassuring her about them. Sasha left the house, knowing that she could
leave Vivian in his hands. Unbeknownst to her, the two little ones sneaked into her study as soon as
she left. âMatt, what are you doing? Mommy asked us to have our dinner!â âShush! Today, the
principal showed me a photo of a boy who is transferring to our preschool.
You know what, the boy and I look alike. I want to find out about him!" Matteo climbed behind his
mom's computer desk. Within minutes, he managed to hack into the principal's computer and
retrieved the new student's information. âWow! Matt, is that you?â Vivian gasped in shock the
moment she saw the photo and information on their computer screen. Feeling confused, Matteo
furrowed his brows while pointing at the screen.
âNo. See, his name is lan Hayes.â Vivian's eyes grew wider. âlan Hayes? It's not you! But why does he
look like you? Did Mommy give birth to him too?â Matteo suddenly recalled that there were times
when their mother would take an unworn onesie out of a small wooden chest, crying when she
thought no one was around. At that instant, Matteo decided to check to check lan out himself. He
jotted down the address for Hilton Hotel from the address column of Ian's information
Half an hour later, at Clear Hospital. âDr. Nancy, you're here!â âWhere's the patient's family?â Sasha
asked. The nurse kindly gave her a reminder. âShe's at Mr. Jackson's office. Dr. Nancy, you need to
be careful. It seems like sheâs a bad-tempered person.â Sasha returned her a grateful smile. Then,
she changed into her white coat and put a mask on before heading to the director's office. âMr.
Jackson, I'm Nancy.â âCome on in! Nancy, meet the patient's family member.â
Henry Jackson, the elderly director, was trying hard to communicate with the patient's family
member, who was sitting opposite him. Beads of sweat were seen covering his forehead.
Unfortunately, the patient's family member was a tough nut to crack. Upon hearing her voice, Henry
immediately opened the door for Sasha and invited her into the office as if she was his lifeline.
Sasha was slightly bewildered to see the director opening the door for her personally.
Soon, she took notice of the person sitting on the sofa. Her eyes widened in disbelief upon seeing
that woman who was sitting on a sofa. âMr. Jackson, is she the ones you've been telling me aboutâ
the best doctor in your hospital? Are you serious?â the woman asked. She was a tall woman with
brown wavy hair and exquisite make-up.
The high-end branded dress she was wearing further accentuated her air of haughtiness. That
woman was none other than Xandra Green! Sasha never thought Xandra would be the first amongst
her old acquaintances whom she got to meet after five years.
So, sheâs my patient? Her eyes, being the only semblance of emotion that could be seen on her face,
grew icy in an instant upon the realization
Five years ago, she entered into an arranged marriage with Sebastian. Since both the Wands and the
Hayes had always been on friendly terms, the two families decided to arrange an engagement for
the five-year-old Sebastian with her, the newborn baby girl of the Wand family. Even though she
had liked Sebastian since she was young, she never really took the arrangement seriously, thinking it
was just a joke.
It was only until the overnight destruction of the Wand family when Frederick brought up about the
arranged engagement, asking her to marry into the Hayes family. Instead of scorning Sasha, he gave
her a stable life by accepting her into the family. That was when she decided to fulfill the arranged
marriage. Eventually,
she married Sebastian to seek the family love that she lost, like a moth to the flame. She never
expected their marriage would end up being a tragedy. âMr. Jackson, I was wrong.â âWhat?â âI can't
cure her illness. You should find another doctor to help her,â Sasha said coldly. With that, she turned
and left the office.
