Since Tamara was getting close to the end of her third trimester, Sebastian always came home to join her for dinner, and then he would continue working.This was the first time he wouldn’t be home.Although Tamara found this odd, she knew it was to be expected.Sebastian was the president of ST Corporation, and his company was going through a difficult time. It was only natural for him not to return home.Tamara slowly got out of bed. Her stomach was huge. She had to place a hand under her stomach whenever she rolled out of bed, or the sudden drop in her stomach would cause her huge discomfort.She was drenched in sweat by the time she got out of bed.When she finally exited her room, twenty minutes had passed. She took the lift downstairs and saw the busy servants. Dinner had already been served.“You’re here, Young Mrs. Lynch. I was just about to go get you,” said Ms. Thompson when she saw Tamara.Tamara smiled. “I can do this myself. The doctor said I should exercise more.”
Tamara felt restless and lost her appetite. She didn’t want to return to her room and decided to wait in the living room. She would pace around and glance at the door from time to time.Ms. Thompson couldn’t help but laugh in amusement at Tamara’s actions. “You don’t need to be so anxious, Young Mrs. Lynch. It’s normal for Young Mr. Lynch to be home late from work. Sometimes, he wouldn’t come home at all.”Tamara turned to Ms. Thompson. “But ever since we got married, he had never stayed out late. This is the first time.”Hearing this, Ms. Thompson paused. That was true.Sebastian used to be out all night and would sometimes skip meals altogether. Yet ever since he got together with Tamara, he would still return home at night even though he was initially reluctant. Following his blooming relationship with Tamara, he even started coming home earlier.“Maybe there is more work than usual. Don’t worry too much, Young Mrs. Lynch. You should rest in your room if you’re tired,” nudged M
Tamara was careful with her actions for fear of hurting Sebastian.Sebastian observed Tamara’s nervousness and smirked devilishly, “This is nothing. You don’t have to get your knickers in a twist.”Tamara pursed her lips and made no comment. She treated all his bruises before returning the first aid kit to Ms. Thompson.Tamara turned to Sebastian with a stern look on her face. “Tell me the truth. What happened?”Sebastian quirked a brow at how serious Tamara was acting. “You don’t believe me?”Tamara signed, “How could I? You are Sebastian Lynch. You have bodyguards all around you. Not to mention, you’re a good fighter yourself, and you’re telling me this is just a scratch? You have never come home this late. Something must have happened.”Tamara was confident of her gut feelings. Her uneasiness was too much for her to shake off simply.Sebastian sighed and held her hands. He muttered, “What do you want me to say? That I got in a fight? I would lose my pride.”Tamara widened he
Sebastian closed his eyes. “It’s not her. It’s me.”“What happened to you, Young Mr. Lynch?” There was a hint of surprise in Austin’s voice.Sebastian grew impatient. “Austin Beaver! You are the Lynch family’s doctor. Stop asking so many questions and come over!”Sebastian hung up the call right after.He had no shirt on and had a wound on his abdomen. The wound was still open and bleeding. The wound pulsed with each breath he took. It appeared repulsive.A knock came on the door half an hour later.“Come in!” said Sebastian coldly.Austin walked in with a medical kit in hand. Seeing the state Sebastian was in, Austin’s usual indifferent face turned into one of shock. “Were you beaten up by a mob, Young Mr. Lynch?”Austin sat beside Sebastian and took out some tools to clean the wound.Sebastian’s eyes were shut tightly. He ignored Austin completely.Austin quickly cleaned up the wound. Luckily, the wound was shallow and only needed two stitches.Austin set his things down a
Sebastian wasn’t expecting this as well. With furrowed brows, he took another whiff.It had a strange smell, but there wasn’t that initial wave of drowsiness that he had experienced when he first began using the scented tea leaves.Tamara took the tea leaves from him and gave them a try. Drowsiness immediately washed over her, and she struggled to keep her eyes open.Tamara threw the tea leaves into the rubbish bin before taking out the antidote tea leaves. One whiff of it made her drowsiness disappear.She turned to Sebastian with furrowed brows. “Your body is adapting to this too quickly. It worked before, but even the improved version is not doing the job now. This is a serious issue. Have you tried going to the doctor?”Sebastian saw how worried Tamara was and comforted her, “I did, but they were ineffective. This has been going on for years, and I’ve grown accustomed to it. Don’t worry.”How could Tamara not worry?Numerous illnesses could be brought on by chronic insomnia!
Tamara slapped her hand over her mouth in shock.Sebastian sat shirtless on a chair in the study room. Austin was standing directly in front of him, blocking Sebastian’s frame from her view.They were standing inches away from each other. Their close proximity could only leave so much room for the imagination to run wild.Tamara was shocked, and nasty thoughts started forming in her mind. She quickly shook them. She knocked on the door to announce her presence.Sebastian’s eyes narrowed, and he quickly put on his shirt.Fortunately, Austin had just finished rebandaging him. He turned and called out faintly, “Hello, Young Mrs. Lynch.”Tamara stared pointedly at them. “What…are you doing?”Why were two grown men so close to each other?Why was one standing and the other sitting?Sebastian quirked a brow. He observed Tamara’s shocked expression. “What are you thinking, Tamara?”Tamara blushed slightly.She couldn’t hide her emotions in time.That was awkward.Austin pushed up
The original personality should gain ownership of the body by vanquishing the other personality.“Did you think of something, Tammy?” Margot saw that Tamara was lost in thought. She asked anxiously, “If you know something, you have to tell me! Don’t keep it from me!”Tamara paused. She slowly raised her hand and signed, “I’m not sure how true this is, but could Benjamin’s sudden disappearance be related to his split personality treatment?”“Treatment?” Margot furrowed her brows. “Can split personality be treated? How? Make the two personalities join into one?”Tamara shook her head. “The only way to treat it is to vanquish one and let the other take over.”Margot’s jaw fell open. She looked at Tamara in disbelief. “How… How could this be? Which personality is he getting rid of? Which one will take over?”“Calm down, Margot. Recollect yourself and find Benjamin. It’s only been a short time. He couldn’t have left the city. Search the places that the two of you usually visit. I’m su
The front desk receptionist called the security guards over to block off Margot.“Please leave, miss!” The front desk receptionist was chasing Margot out.Margot’s gaze was fixed on the closed door. She struggled against them. “Let me go! I’m here to look for someone. I’m here for Benjamin! I’m Benjamin’s wife!”The front desk receptionist was startled. “We don’t have anyone named Benjamin here, miss. You’ve got the wrong place.”“No! I’m sure it is him! He’s inside!” said Margot stubbornly. She pushed forward and broke free from the security guards. She immediately rushed for the door.The front desk receptionist widened her eyes. “Stop her!”But it was too late.Margot pushed open the door and saw a bed immediately. A man was lying on it, and that man... wasn’t Benjamin.How could this be?She saw Benjamin entering with her own two eyes.In her confusion, Margot was escorted out by security guards. The front desk receptionist gave her a stern look. “Do that again, and I’ll
