Chapter 27
Sebastian did not withdraw his cold gaze because of Sabrina’s scream. He surveyed Sabrina with a serious gaze. Sabrina
fiercely pushed Sebastian away, picked up the bathrobe, and wrapped hersslef. She quickly rushed into the small guest
bedroom. Her tears streamed down her eyes the moment she closed the door. The sense of shame, only she knew how stifling it
was. She wiped off the tears that she could not control with her wrist =, and when she was about to get her clothes, the door
behind her was suddenly pushed open. She shivered in shock.
She looked up and saw that Sebastian had a first aid kit in his hand. Sabrina used a bath towel to cover her front. “You...What
are you doing?” The man did not say anything but raised his hand to grab her by the arm. He made her lie on the bed with a
flipping motion. A cooling medicine was applied to her back before she could react.
Sabrina’s back had several strangulation maarks that even she could not see by herself. She only knew she felt a burning pain in
her back when she was in the bath. Now, after Sebastian had applied the ointment, that burning pain was instantly relieved.
There were strangulation marks everywhere on her legs. She laid on bed and felt so ashamed that she could not say a word.
She did not even know he already applied the medicine on her whole back. He got up again and flipped her over. Sabrina was
even more ashamed that she wanted to die. She closed her eyes tightly, clenched her hands, and gritted her teeth. She did not
know what would happen next. Sabrina did not dare to resist him. She saw with her own eyes how he viciously punished the
group of hooligans. She had made up her mind that as soon as he took advantage of her, she would break into his room and
fumble his things around to get herself shot to death with arrows! It was to let herself die right in front of him. However, the time
had passed by the seconds. After all the strangulation marks on her body were evenly coated by the ointment, the man did not
do anything next. She saw a dark, sullen, and eerily cold face. She had never seen such an expression on Sebastian before, and
it was a disgusted expression that wanted to hack her death. Sarbina suddenly remembered that Sebastian had always been
very disgusted by her.
If she did not have a consoling effect on Grace’s conditions, Sebastian might have turned her into a corpse long agp. How could
he have taken advantage of her? Sabrina wrapped herself in a bath towel and looked at Sebastian with a pale and cold
expression, “I know everything you did to me was because of your mother, so don’t worry, I would never pester and harass you
because you touched me. If I don’t keep my word, I would die a horrible death!” She never looked at him again. The man closed
his eyes, secretly took a deep breath, and then said with an incomparable coldness, “Good that you knew!” After he said that, he
turned around and left while carrying the first aid kit. The door was closed with a bang. After he left Sabrina’s guest bedroom,
Sebastian entered the bathroom and took a cold bath for more than an hour. The next day. Sebastian got up very early as he
had tp take an early flight to neighboring country. Once he go tup, he warmed up the milk and sandwiches to eat. It so happened
that Sabrina also got up very early. She saw Sebastian eating breakfast at the dining table, but she acted as if she did not see
anybody. “Come here!” Sebastian called out in a low voice. Sabrina bit her lip. “Can I help you?” “Have breakfast before you
head out.” “I’m not used to eating breakfast,” Sabrina said indifferently and walked to the entrance to open door. She left and
gave Sebastian a view of her back that seemed solitary.
Sabrina was not used to eating breakfast. It was not because she did not want to eat, but because she suffered from being
ostracized by them in the eight years she boarder with the Lynn family. Every meal she had with the Lynn family seemed like a
torment. Therefore, she went out to school early every morning. She had no money to buy breakfast on the road, so she always
had to endure hunger until noon to eat in the cafeteria. When she left the house and took the bus to Grace’s ward, Grace had
just woken up.
“Mom.” Sabrina smiled gently. “I brought you your favorite cream puffs, I’ll watch you finish your breakfast before I go to work.”
However, Grace put the cream puffs aside, took Sabrina’s hand and asked earnestly, “Sabbie, tell me. You haven’t come to see
mom in the past few days. What happened?” “Mom, what nonsense are you thinking about?! I was on a business trip,” Sabrina
said as she pretended to be angry. Sabrina shook her head. “Silly child, don’t forget that I had also been imprisoned for many
years. You don’t know why I was imprisoned, but I had seen how insidious humans could be, and I had seen much more than
you had, so you wouldn’t be able to hide it from me. When I woke up yesterday, I saw your face was red and swollen. You still
have finger marks on your face.” Sabrina was speechless.
With Grace’s life experience, it truly was no easy feat to deceive her. “Was it the Lynn family that you used to board with? They
had seen that not only did you get out of prison, but also married so well. Hence they were jealous of you. Wasn’t it?” grace
asked. Sabrina did not know how to answer. It was indeed true that her face was beaten by Selene, and she almost lost her life
in Selene’s hands. However, Selene was Grace’s real daughter-in-law. “Mom, it wasn’t like that. How would the Lynn family dare
to offend me now? You must have been mistaken yesterday. My face was a little swollen yesterday, but that was because I
stayed up all night for the few days I was on a business trip. It’s really fine. Mom, hurry up and eat. I have to go to work after you
finish.” Sabrina brushed Grace off by changing the topic.
Grace also did not ask further questions, but smiled and said, “Okay, okay, I’ll do as you say.”
After she watched Grace finish her meal, Sabrina left the hospital and hurried to the company. Sabrina should have gone directly
to the construction site to do odd jobs, but she missed several days of work in a row, so she was unsure if the design department
would still want her. After she entered the company and arrived at the design department, Sabrina anxiously came to look for the
design director. “Sorry director, the past few days I...Something came up at home and couldn’t apply for a leave on time...” The
director sneered. “You felt you were at a disadvantage working like a general worker at the construction site, so you were absent
without notice for a few days. When in actuality, you went out to find another job, but what was result? You couldn’t find another
job, and you had the cheek to come back here again?” Sabrina bit her lip. “No, it’s not like this, director.” “Get out!” The director
sternly chased Sabrina out. “For people like you! You don’t even have a professional diploma, you only saw a lot at the
construction sites so that you could produce some drawings. I think you are too law-leveled to be my assistant! Get lost!” Sabrina
was speechless. This was a job that she found with much effort. She had never expected to be sitting in the office and leisurely
producing drawings. She could move bricks at the construction site. She did not mind. “Get out!” The director picked up a pile of
materials and smashed it on Sabrina, who twisted and dodged them, but she crashed into a person’s arms. “What a coincidence
that I met you here,” a playful voice said.
