Whitney frowned and replied, "Regardless, he's still my ex-husband. I've lived with him for three years. I can't just ignore him."Whitney pleaded, "Mabel, just let me do this. I promise I won't care about anything concerning him in the future." Mabel sighed in exasperation and asked, "Ms. Sutton, do you still like him?"Whitney froze, and a complicated emotion flashed across her face.Did she still like him? She had no idea.All she knew was that she got anxious whenever he offended someone or got himself into trouble."I…" Whitney stammered."Ms. Sutton, hear me out, Sebastian isn't worth it! No matter how much you try to help him in secret, he will never be grateful!" Mabel exclaimed."I don't want him to be grateful, and frankly, I don't care if he's grateful, either. I just want to make it up to him," Whitney snapped."Make it up to him? What are you talking about? You've never done anything to him that warrants an apology from you! He's the incompetent one!" Mabel excla
There was a flurry of commotion as the crowd dispersed.A bunch of burly men in black suits had entered the arena and ushered the crowd out. At the same time, they had issued a stern warning.No one was to breathe a word about tonight to another soul, or they would suffer the wrath of the underworld bosses of Steinberg.Whitney and Mabel were also forced out of the arena with the crowd amidst the chaos.There was a cacophony of whispers in the hall as the crowd discussed what had just happened. However, because of the warning by the burly men, none even dared to mention Sebastian's name.The crowd then slowly made their way out of the Celestial Tower.Mabel and Whitney stood at a corner of the hall as they scanned the crowd, hoping to find Sebastian."Mabel, do you see him?" Whitney asked worriedly.Mabel shook her head, crossing her arms across her chest. To be honest, she didn't really want to see him. In fact, she very much would've preferred if he had died."There are too
Sebastian exited the kitchen with a plate of spaghetti in his hands. "We're already divorced. So it doesn't matter if she hates me," he said mildly.With that, he twirled his spaghetti around his fork and ate a mouthful.The mouth-watering scent of spaghetti soon enveloped the small shop. Rosalie watched him hungrily as she asked, "Is it nice?""Do you want some?" Sebastian asked."Yes, please!" Rosalie beamed before dragging Sebastian's plate toward her. She didn't even bother getting another fork and just ate his spaghetti with his fork."It's delicious," she complimented with a blissful smile.Not only was Sebastian skilled at medicinal practices, but he was also incredibly skilled at cooking too!Sebastian sighed in exasperation and got up to grab another plate of spaghetti for himself.After that, the both of them ate their food in silence.Rosalie let out an inelegant burp after she was done and flashed him a content smile."I've never had such delicious spaghetti in
Theresa turned and ran toward the door.Sebastian's expression was solemn as he called out after her, "Wait!""What do you want?" Theresa snapped."I'm going with you," Sebastian declared with a frown."You?" she asked incredulously with a dark expression.Rosalie also frowned slightly at Sebastian's declaration.Sebastian turned to Rosalie. "Ms. Griffin, I'm so sorry, but…""It's alright. Go on. After all, Ms. Sutton is your ex-wife. You should go and check on her," Rosalie said with an understanding smile as she tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.Sebastian smiled in relief as he thanked her softly. Then, he got to his feet and followed Theresa into her car.Though Theresa didn't really want Sebastian to come, there was no time to waste. She had no choice but to drive to Tranquil Hospital with him.At the hospital, Theresa rushed to the ward immediately after she got out of the car, with Sebastian following closely behind her."Ms. Lucero, how's Whit?" Theresa as
"I need to perform acupuncture on her to disperse the cold energy in her body," Sebastian explained.Crystal scowled as she shouted, "What nonsense are you spouting? What cold energy? Are you cursing my daughter?"Sebastian tried to explain again, "It's not that. Whitney is actually—"However, Crystal was having none of it and interrupted coldly, "That's enough. The doctors here will diagnose Whitney. You're just a useless piece of trash. You have no right to be spouting nonsense here!"Besides, I heard from Ms. Lucero that Winnie is only in the hospital because of you! Isn't that right?" she demanded.Sebastian frowned.Mabel seized this opportunity to quickly add, "Mrs. Sutton, Ms. Sutton got caught in the rain because of this asshole! That's why she has a high fever!""What do you have to say for yourself?" Crystal demanded as she turned to Sebastian.Sebastian arched an eyebrow. "I have nothing to say. I just want to tell you that this isn't a regular fever. Her condition i
Damon looked haughty as he glanced at Sebastian. "So you're Sebastian? The man that Mr. Cobb mentioned?" he asked in disbelief."Yes, that's me," Sebastian said, raising an eyebrow.Damon huffed. "I've seen videos of you at work, and I admit you do have some skill. However, that insignificant amount of skill is nothing to be proud of!"It's such a shame that someone as arrogant as you is the successor of Expalyrium," Damon said finally.Sebastian's expression darkened immeasurably at that. He hadn't expected this old man, who looked to be in his sixties, to pull rank on him to discipline and humiliate him.Sebastian was about to retort when he was interrupted by Fergus. "Sebastian, aren't you going to leave? You'll only be a hindrance if you stay!"Once Dr. Caesar cures Winnie and she wakes up, she might fall back into a coma from anger when she sees you!" Fergus snickered."He's right! Trashtian! Get lost!" Dante chimed in smugly.Crystal followed suit and shouted, "Why are yo
"Beg you?" Crystal asked in disbelief before breaking into laughter. "Nonsense! Your mediocre medicinal skills are nothing compared to Dr. Caesar's, and you expect us to beg you?"Her tone was haughty as she declared, "If Dr. Caesar can't treat Whitney, I will get on my knees and beg you!""I will too!" Dante chimed in with a mocking expression.Sebastian didn't respond and took one last look at Whitney before he left.Fergus waved a hand dismissively once Sebastian left, and he huffed, "He's just a piece of trash. I can't believe how bold he was acting."He then plastered on a sickeningly sweet smile as he clasped his hands together respectfully. "Dr. Caesar, please treat Whitney."Damon stroked his beard and replied, "Don't worry, I got this." Then, he walked toward Whitney.Theresa quickly got to her feet and stood to the side. "Dr. Caesar, is Whit alright?" she asked worriedly. Damon took one look at Whitney before he took her pulse. "It's nothing serious. There's a bit of
In an instant, the ward was so silent that they could hear a pin drop. Everyone's expression shifted between disbelief and reluctance.Did they really need to beg that piece of trash for help?"Mr. Cobb, Mrs. Sutton, I've really never seen anything like Ms. Sutton's disease! From what I heard just now, Ms. Sutton hasn't had any problems with her health, which means that kid outside really knows how to cure her!" Damon said. "Please consider what's best for Ms. Sutton!""Mrs. Sutton, what do we do now?" Fergus asked. It was not his place to make a decision.Crystal thought about it for a while before she looked at the unconscious Whitney. In the end, she sighed as she said, "For Winnie, we can only beg for that useless bastard's help!"Then, she rushed out of the ward to the waiting area. She found Sebastian sitting on one of the couches."Sebastian!" Crystal called as she stalked over to him. "Winnie's condition has worsened! Go take a look!"Sebastian raised an eyebrow as he wa
