After firmly putting down his teacup, Jonathan remarked, “Alright then. In one week’s time, I’ll return with some soldiers to personally put him through military training.”
With that, Jonathan got up and left.
Sasha was stumped
Military training? What sort of military training?
Staring blankly, Sasha had no idea what Jonathan was talking about.
After Jonathan had left, Sebastian came over and saw the steaming tea on the table. Unable to control his rage, he reached out his hand and swept them aside.
Crash!
Suddenly, everything fell onto the floor in a thunderous crash.
Dumbfounded, Sasha stared at the mess for a long while before regaining her senses.
“Mr. Hayes, what are you doing?”
“What am I doing? How dare you ask me that? I should be asking you that question? Are you pleading mercy for me? Are you worried that he will kill me? That’s why you’re serving him as if you’re a slave?”
Sitting in his wheelchair, Sebastian unleashed his scathing tirade just like a beast gone berserk.
Sasha gaped.
No, that’s not the reason. I’m doing it to prevent their conflict from escalating. Antagonizing Jonathan now would only bring him more harm than good.
Sasha explained, “No, Mr. Hayes. That wasn’t my intention. I just wanted to prevent both of you from quarreling. All I wanted to do was calm the situation down.”
“What has that got anything to do with you? Macy West, I would rather die by his sword than see you grovel like a dog in front of him for my sake,” Sebastian roared again.
This time, his insulting words had struck a nerve.
Sasha’s face turned ashen.
Just like a dog? After all that I have done, is it just a disgrace to him?
Sasha’s eyes reddened. At the same time, anger welled up within her. “Why don’t you care about your life at all? Is it necessary to take death so lightly all the time? Do you understand the implications of your words?”
“That’s my business, not yours!”
“How can it not be mine? I’m your doctor and responsible for saving you. If a patient’s life is threatened in front of me, am I not duty-bound to save him?”
Sasha yelled back while glaring at him with her bloodshot eyes.
After forty minutes, she arrived at an apartment in the city
Karl was shocked to see her looking like a mess.
Given a fright, he took her bag from her at once and asked anxiously, “Mrs. Hayes, what happened? Why do you look so dejected? Also, what’s wrong with your hand?”
With her reddened eyes, Sasha collapsed butt first onto the ground.
“I gave him a piece of my mind!”
“Huh?” Karl was shocked “Who did you scold? Mr. Hayes?”
“Mmm-hmm!”
Sitting there, Sasha used a napkin to wipe her already swollen eyes.
“His temper keeps getting worse and will fight with Jonathan at every opportunity he gets. Also, he doesn’t care about his life at all. Hence, I have no choice but to admonish him for his own good. That’s the only way for him to stay safe.”
Karl stood still without a word for a long time.
Even before the incident, Mr. Hayes has always been a proud man. Hence, there’s no way he can stand being locked up and controlled right now. Therefore, it’s understandable that he is at odds with Jonathan all the time.
