Chapter 56
Rosanne was about to take a shower when Lucy’s ungent knocking came from the door.
“Rox, Mr. Hayes passed out!”
Roxanne opened the door and immediately saw Sebastian curled up on the floor downstairs. He looked miserable. She had seen him like this many times before his stomach was acting up again.
His stomach had always been sensitive. It hurt when he was hungry, when his schedule was off, and when he got angry. Roxanne had always taken care of him with goal care.
For seven years, as long as Sebastian was by her side and within her sight, she would make sure he was well looked with friends, and socialized–that was when his stomach issues flared up again.

He had brought this on himself. As someone on the sidelines, there was nothing she could do about It
Roxanne tumed to Lucy and said, “Lory, call security to take him to the hospital”
Lucy looked at Roxanne, stunned by how calm she was, “You’re not going?”
Roxanne shrugged. “I’m not a doctor. It’s not like I can help. Lucy, hurry and call security. If you’re late, he might actually die from the pain.” With that, Roxanne closed the door.
Sebastian, curled up on the floor, was already convulsing from the pain, but he clearly heard every word Roxanne said. Her indifference toward him mirrored he had dismissed her explanations–like they didn’t matter at all.
Lucy panicked. She looked at the tightly shut door, then down at Sebastian on the floor. In the end, she bit her lip and went to call security.
Roxanne wasn’t wrong. It was his gastric issue, and he needed to go to the hospital

to an IV.
His attending physician, Nicholas Sinclair, was highly skilled–especially when it came to treating gastric conditions
Nicholas gave him a teasing look. “That’s strange. You got a stomach ache tuggered by emotional stress. You’re the type who keeps a straight face even if the sky were to fall, so how’d you get yourself worked up to the point of pain? I’m curious.”
He was genuinely curious. What kind of person or event could cause Sebastian to have such a severe emotional reaction?
Sebastian shot him a cold glance. “Get out.”

“Let me guess. Han, is it because of Roxame?
Sebastian’s expression bad tumed into a death place. Nicholas Josew immediately that he had guessed tight.
His smile only grew. As a doctor–especially one with such a gentle demeanor–his warm, sumy grin made people feel at ease.
“I head all about it. Flat, you canceled the engagement, and the next dng you did was bring Home back yourselt. What’s your deal? Even if there really was something wrong with Liana, you’re not a doctor. What could you have possibly done?
“If you really had to go, couldn’t you have walled until after the engagement? I’ve told you betor–treat Roxanne like that, and one day, you’re going to regret it. Well, look where we are now Told you so!”
Sebastian had reached his fit. His cold, elegant face tuned gain. “shut the fuckup!=
Anyone else would have dropped the subject immediately, not daring to push Sebastian’s buttons further, but Nicholas wasn’t just a doctor, the was also something rise — Sebastian’s older cousin. He was the son of Sebastion’s aunt on his father’s side.
This angry, agitated version of sebastian. Wasn’t this exactly what had triggeted the stomach pain?
