engagement party had failed once again. Lesi time, Sebastian had personally ansiounced its cancelation. This time, he said nothing at all.
Chapter 75
Sebastian didn’t show up, and Roxame didn’t show up either. What happened? Everyone flocked to Mick to get some answers.
Of course, Micklew the truth. He had overhead everything when Gordon reported the situation to Lucas.
So, without hesitation, he said, “On the day of the engagement party, Liana was kidnapped. The kidnappers demanded an exchange–Roxanne for Liana. My brother agreed and handed Roxanne over. That’s why there was no party at all.”
The crowd collectively gasped. Liana was kidnapped, and Sebastian actually traded Roxanne for her? He really agreed to that?
Even though most people looked down on Roxanne, hearing this made them feel sorry for her. Just imagining it for a moment, they could already feel the sheer despair she must have felt.
But then again, It made sense.
Sebastian had always been out of Roxanne’s league. She had forced herself into his world, and in the end, the pain and humiliation she suffered were of her own making. She had no one to blame but herself.
This incident only reinforced what everyone already believed–Sebastian cared more about Liana. As for Roxanne, she was nothing more than a toy.
When Roxanne finally regained consciousness, the first thing she saw was a stack white ceiling. She blinked in confusion.
The next second, she shot upright in bed and pinched her own arm. “It hurts!” Then, she burst out laughing “Haha! I’m not dead!”
Roxanne had always been an optimist. When she jumped off the cliff back then, she had been betting on survival, If she had stayed up there, who knew what Nathaniel would have done to her?
Jumping had been her only chance. Now, she felt weak and hungry. She looked around and saw that her private ward was empty, she pressed the call button on her bed
Within seconds, the door swung open, startling her. That was fast But when she saw the man wallding in, her smile froze. It was Sebastian.
Memories of her struggle in the water came flooding back. Had she seen Sebastian jump in after her? The realization sent a wave of panic through her. This was bad. It they had both died, would they have ended up in the underworld together? The thought was unbeatable. The best outcome would have been her dying while Sebastian survived
After all, she was just an orphan with no power or influence–her death wouldn’t matter. The worst outcome would have been her surviving while Sebastian died. That would lurve been a nightmare.
Lucas wouldn’t space her just because of some old family friendship. She had jumped to save her own life, but in the end, she had almost gotten Sebastian killed
instead.
At that moment, Roxanne became absolutely certain that Sebastian was her cursel
Sebastian watched as her eyes flickered though emotions–coldness, struggle, fear, pande, and terror. However, there was not even a hint of happiness.
He was holding anal in a hand. Nicholas had predicted she would wake up today and had arranged for food to be ready.
Sebastian calmly set our the food. His expression was unitendable. “Est”
Hoooupe was starving, and she never deprived herself. She quickly noticed the insignia the container-“Valoria Kitchen“.
It was an exclusive private dining establishment where it was nearly impossible to make a scrvation, even with money. Only someone like Sebastian could walk in without a reservation. She had inated him there countless times, but he never had tline.
She had never been able to me there. Yet now, lying in hospital bed, she finally got to taste it. Such irony.
The ward was silent, except for the soft sounds of her eating. As Sebastian watched her eating happily, his frustration simmered beneath his composed exterior. Why did you painip?”
Heating Dist, Kozame named lately coughed. She choked on a
watball and neatly sutlocated.
Sebastian gently patted her back, but he was naturally indiferent, so there wasn’t a trace of wanth on his face.
