Chapter 1023

Author: Moonlight
Suddenly, Sebastian Brenand’s phone vibrated.

Seeing that it was an unknown number, Sebastian declined the call and threw his phone aside impatiently.

Soon, his phone vibrated again. The same number was shown on the screen.

Only then did Sebastian pick up the call though he was reluctant to do so. “What do you want?”

Following that statement, he slowly sat up from the bed and leaned against the bedhead lazily. When he found a comfortable position to rest his heavy head, he closed his eyes again.

“Is this Sebastian Brenand?” It was a young man’s voice.

“Yes, I am. Who are you?”

“Hello, Young Master Brenand. I’m George Orsen.”

Sebastian’s mood went downhill as soon as he heard the name.

Raw jealousy flowed through him like lava.

“You’re Rachel’s husband, right? What do you want from me? Huh?” Sebastian jabbed.

“Actually… I’m not her husband.”

“What do you mean? Did the two of you get a divorce?”

“No… Our marriage is merely a lie. The marriage certificate you saw t

    Sebastian Brenand ran to his helicopter with his messy beard and pajamas. Right at this moment, George Orsen sent him the exact location of the hospital where Rachel Wood was currently at. Without further ado, Sebastian started the helicopter and flew to Edgewater Hospital. His heart was throbbing madly, and the pain was only intensified every time he inhaled. Tears poured down his cheeks uncontrollably, blurring his vision. Shattered and devastated, Sebastian wiped off his tears over and over again to concentrate on flying the helicopter. How he hoped he could just teleport to Rachel’s side now. That girl was such a fool!Why would she do all those stupid things to push him away? Sebastian still remembered how he scolded Rachel the last time they met. All his malicious insults and criticisms started to replay in his ears like a broken record… “What a heartless b*ch you are!”“You’re a player!”“Get lost!”Guilt washed over his soul as he thought of it. He regre

    Upon hearing that, Sebastian Brenand’s heart began to throb frantically again. Trying with all his might, he swallowed his agony and wiped off his tears. “Mr. Wood, Mrs. Wood, may I go in?”Right at this moment, Rachel Wood’s attending doctor, George Orsen, pulled open the door and came out from the ward. George was wearing a white doctor gown. His short hair was thick but neat, perfectly setting off his delicate features. He was a fresh, handsome young man. Noticing Sebastian’s arrival, George immediately approached him. “Come with me. Have a look at Rachel.” Then, he turned around and went back into the ward. Sebastian immediately caught up with him. There were all kinds of medical equipment in the spacious ICU. Sebastian could constantly hear a ticking sound from the machines around him. The strong, pungent smell of disinfectant permeated the air, invading all his senses. Rachel was lying on the snow-white bed. She was wearing an oxygen mask, and she had numerous tu

    After that, Sebastian Brenand called his assistant, Jean Hanson, on the phone.“Jean… Bring cancer specialists from every region in the world to Edgewater Hospital right now. Get them to force a specialist group to treat Rachel. She’s going to die from lymphoma soon…” Sebastian said.Sebastian knew that Rachel couldn’t be transferred to another hospital based on her current condition.Since that was the case, he’d bring all the specialists to her.Sebastian deeply touched George Orsen, and he sighed helplessly once again…“Mr. Brenand… Do you know how much money this will cost?” Jean asked.“Even if it costs me my entire fortune, I’ll have to cure Rachel. Don’t give me that crap. Do whatever I tell you to!” With that, Sebastian hung up the phone in a fury.Sebastian then pulled out a chair and sat next to Rachel. He held her hand tightly and kissed it repeatedly. “Rachel… I’ll save you for sure…” He said.“Rachel, you must be strong. Do it for your parents and me. As long as yo

    That was why Rachel Wood didn’t say anything.Things had already gotten to this point. Regardless of what she said, nothing would change.Seeing how hurt Sebastian Brenand appeared made her heart ache greatly.The thing she was most afraid of was to watch Sebastian getting hurt…In the end, she still saw it happening.If it was possible, Rachel hoped Sebastian didn’t know anything about this at all.“Rachel, you fool!” Sebastian said again as he caressed her face gently. His fingers trembled continuously.“Sorry… I lied to you…” Rachel stammered.“If you’re sorry, stay strong and live on. I’ve already summoned a specialist group for you. They’ll be here very soon. Once they arrive, they’ll make sure you are cured,” Sebastian said.“Sebastian… Don’t waste your efforts. Cancer cells have spread all over my body. I can’t be cured,” Rachel said with a bitter laugh. “Listen to me. Tell them not to come. Don’t waste any more money on me,” she added.“It’s my duty to spend money on

    Sebastian Brenand didn’t dare to think what would become of him if Rachel Wood really died. He believed that he definitely wouldn’t be able to bear the pain of losing her the second time.The woman in his arms was getting weaker by the second. Sebastian felt truly afraid that he would lose her the next second.No matter what, he had to make sure this person was cured.“Oh, right… There’s still Dr. Batton…” Right then, Sebastian suddenly thought of Ron Batton.Ron’s medical skills were even better than those internationally-renowned specialists…Sebastian immediately called Stanley Batton on the phone.On the other end of the phone, in Dragon Group’s president’s office, Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton were sitting by the coffee table, drinking coffee and playing Honor of Kings.Xyla was lazily resting on the sofa’s soft armrest with her legs placed naturally on Stanley’s lap. She held her phone with both hands, and she seemed very focused.Meanwhile, Stanley leaned gently against

    Immediately after that, Stanley Batton, Gary Lakes, and Henry Armstrong took the lead to get out of the helicopter.The three men were dressed in suits of black, white, and gray. They gave off a noble aura. In fact, they appeared even more attractive than male protagonists in idol dramas.The next second, Xyla Quest and Ron Batton also got out of the helicopter together.The handsome men and the beautiful woman stunned everyone who saw them—“Am I watching an idol drama? Those four people are way too good-looking, aren’t they?”“The main thing is their vibes… Aren’t they fantastic?”“I think that woman and the man holding her hand both look a little familiar. I might have seen them somewhere.”“Could they be celebrities?”“I doubt celebrities would go around in such a high-profile manner. I think they are probably people with rich parents.”The crowd couldn’t help but talk among themselves.Many couldn’t resist stopping in their tracks to ogle at the group of people…Xyla an

    “I did experiments on ten mice with advanced cancer before. Among those ten mice, only one survived… I heard that you invited many specialists to come over, didn’t you? Once they arrive, we’ll get together to come up with a suitable plan. As for whether we can succeed, that will depend on this girl’s luck…” Ron Batton added.Sebastian Brenand nodded enthusiastically.Even if there was only a one percent chance, it was better than nothing.Right now, he only hoped that Rachel Wood could be the lucky one to be cured.He simply hoped for a miracle to happen…“Okay, everyone else should leave… The patient needs to rest now… Stan and Xyla can stay behind. Let me know once the specialist group arrives… ” Ron said.Right after Ron spoke, Sebastian nodded again. After that, he looked deeply at Rachel…He stood there for a long while before leaving with Gary Lakes and Henry Armstrong.Xyla Quest, Stanley Batton, and Ron were the only three people left in the large ICU.Ron immediately

    But Rachel Wood, who was on the bed, was still not responding at all.On the heartbeat monitor, her heart rate was still rapidly decreasing…Due to the plummeting rate, a beeping alarm could be heard. It was a loud screeching that was painful to the ear…Sebastian Brenand was in complete disarray. He repeatedly shouted next to Rachel like a mad man. “Rachel Wood… Rachel Wood, wake up… Do you hear me?”The person in the bed had a pale, greenish complexion. Her lips had a faint purple hue.Although her body rose and fell along with the defibrillators, there was no response at all.“No… I don’t want you to die… Rachel, if you die, what will I do? Wake up.“Don’t you love me? Hmm?”Sebastian felt truly afraid. He was afraid that Rachel would die in the next second…At that moment, Xyla Quest was also sweating profusely from the nervousness.She began to press the defibrillators against Rachel more frequently…Ron Batton and the other specialists nearby were all worried about Rac

    “Hannah, I’ve taken the first step for you. Are you willing to walk by my side for the rest of our lives?” Leon asked, serious.“Yes, I am…” Hannah answered without missing a beat.“I’ll protect you.

    Over time, Leon’s feelings for Hannah grew deeper, stronger, and more intense.He had grown used to having her with him all the time.Thus, he hoped she would stay by his side for the rest of his life.Upon hearing his words, Hannah’s mind went blank.What did her dream guy just say?Was she dreaming?Hannah quickly pinched her palm at the thought in an attempt to discern between dream and reality.Her palm hurt. That meant this wasn’t a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfounded…This meant Leon actually liked her! He was confessing to her, wasn’t he?Did her dream guy actually reciprocate her feelings?Never in her wildest dreams did Hannah imagine she would go through such an experience.Excitement jammed her mind, so much that she was rendered speechless.

    Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymond’s head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. “Who are you? Don’t you know what you’re doing is illegal?”Leon sneered. “You don’t deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.”Leon’s domineering words made him seem even more imposing.At this moment, Hannah felt as if he was a guardian angel sent from Heaven to protect her.Something about him seemed oddly sacred and heavenly.“Mr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?” One of the men dressed in black asked.“Mr. Batton? Are you Stanley Batton’s son?!” Fear was beginning to spread through Raymond. For one to have Batton as his surname and act this arrogantly in Atlantis, he could be none other than a member of the renowned Batton family.“How dare you address our president by name?!” Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif

Stammering, she asked, “Mr. Gray… What is the meaning of this?” “What’s the meaning of this? Ha! Don’t you know what’s good for you? You dumb b*tch… You’re lucky that I set my sights on you!”“How dare you refuse my feelings! Not just that, but you even made up a story to deceive me!”“Even when you saw me, you tried to trick me again!”“Do you think I’m stupid? That I can’t think? Do you honestly think I’d fall for your lies again and again?” Raymond went, his tone steadily rising into a furious roar.He then got on o

    Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasn’t about to be silent anytime soon. Hannah felt deeply unsettled, so much that she didn’t leave right away.Instead, she waited in front of the bar, filled with hesitance and anxiety.Should she really leave?Would Rihanna truly be able to sort things out?The man was Raymond Gray… Neither Rihanna nor the bar could afford to upset him, lest they face terrible repercussions.Hannah remained standing on the same spot, uncertain.

    A handsome waiter quickly walked in and looked at Rihanna. “Ms. Jensen, Mr. Gray out there insists that Hannah should get on stage to sing another song. I told him that Hannah would only sing three songs today…”“He lost his temper and claimed he’d destroy our bar if Hannah refuses to sing another song…” The waiter added. He was visibly trembling by the end of the sentence.Hannah figured Mr. Gray was probably the only son of the new mayor of Atlantis there weren’t many people with Gray as their surname in Atlantis. There were even less people who were arrogant like him. He was the only one.Hannah had heard about how terrible this person could be. He was known to be a womanizer too.Due to his powerful background, he looked down on everyone else. He didn’t respect women at all… Moreover, he had a relatively cruel personality. One could almost describe him as being a pervert.There was once when an owner of a bar offended a female internet celebrity he was dating. He directly hired

I’m surprised we’re even assigned our own makeup artists,” Hannah asked carefully as she wasn’t aware about things like these..However, Lina smiled without answering Hannah’s question directly. She held Hannah’s hand casually the next second, “Come here. I’ll start doing your makeup now…”Hannah nodded…Lina was a very professional makeup artist. She took an hour to finish Hannah’s makeup.An hour later, Hannah’s appearance transformed completely.Lina permed Hannah’s long, black hair into natural-looking curls.Hannah had intricate peach-colored makeup on her face which made her appear lively and youthful.Once Lina was done with Hannah’s makeup, she happily retrieved a long, white dress from a clothes

    Hannah Roland smiled without saying anything.***Hannah arrived at the bar where she worked at seven o’clock the next evening and walked into Rihanna Jensen’s office.Rihanna was going through paperwork in her office. When she saw Hannah, she immediately stood up and smiled at her. “Hannah, you’re here…”“Here’s the contract…” Rihanna said before pushing a thick stack of paper to the center of the table.Hannah quickly stepped forward and skimmed through the document. She then picked up a pen and signed it…Rihanna smiled upon seeing this. “Okay… I’ll transfer the money into your account tonight… I’ve told our big boss about your situation. He’s fine with my decision to pay your salary in advance. In fact, he even told me I did a good job…”“He said you can sing without worrying about a single thing… If you need any help in the future, do let us know…” Rihanna added.Hannah felt glad when she heard this, and became teary-eyed. “Thank you… Please thank our big boss for me too.
