Chapter 107
Grace held on to Sabrina’s hand, tears suddenly flowing as she said weakly, “Sabbie, you’re finally here?”“Mother…” Sabrina sobbed quietly, “I’m sorry mother, I had some things to deal with today, that’s why I’m late.”She had rushed over from the construction site, only to be confronted by Lincoln at the bus stop. She had walked a distance after that in a daze, before only getting onto the bus at the next stop.That was why she was late to her visit.Knowing that Grace’s illness was worsening, Sabrina wanted nothing more than to stay by Grace’s side, but she could not lose her job either. No matter how exhausting and tedious that job was, it was still work.As a woman who had only recently gotten out of jail, it was very difficult to find a job, so she could not give this up. She crawled over to Grace’s side as she repeated over and over, “I’m sorry mother, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”“I’m fine, Sabbie. I know that you’re a hardworking child. You can’t lose your job. A woman should
Chapter 108
As they headed out of the hospital, Sebastian went toward his own car. His steps were large, catching up to Sabrina in just a few paces. Yet he did not even look at her as he maintained his pace to the car.Sebastian was an extremely logical man.He believed only in what he saw himself, and what he heard.Sabrina had definitely pushed Selene after unleashing a malicious rant at her. He had heard her say from her own mouth that she wanted to kill the Lynn family.Sabrina did not spare Sebastian a glance either. As she passed Sebastian’s car, she did not even turn to look.Kingston, who had been by the car, was uncertain when he saw Sabrina.His lips had twitched, almost asking Sabrina to get into the car by habit.He had even almost called out ‘Madam Ford’, but as he watched Sebastian enter the car, wearing a solemn expression, Kingston stopped himself from saying anything.Kingston was similar to Grace in the fact that he too really wanted Sabrina to be Sebastian’s wife. Howeve
Chapter 109
The postcard read, “Mr Ford, you have given me so many beautiful clothes. I’ve never put on such nice clothes my entire life. You have also given me such an expensive laptop, I really don’t know how to thank you.I want to give you something, but I’m a poor person.Even if I had money, I wouldn’t really know what you like. Your suits alone may be worth hundreds of thousands, more than a year of my salary. So, allow me to just give you something inexpensive and interesting.Looking at the color and style of these filters, I felt that they were quite suited to a man like you, mature and powerful. I don’t know if you will like it.If you don’t, remember to tell me. I will get you a new one.Cigarette filters aren’t worth a lot. However, you like smoking, and when you do, you tend to hold the smoke in your mouth before slowly blowing it out of your nose. If you smoke like that, the tar will easily get into your lungs.So, this filter is to protect your body.Even though you are

Sabrina had already fled far away at that point.She was drowning in self-mockery.Had she known, she would not have ordered the filters. She had asked someone to help buy them on her behalf. She was poor, but she had still spent over three hundred bucks on them. Yet, before they could even arrive, she had been chased out. Thinking about it, she thought that she was such a joke. Right now, the filters were probably in Sebastian’s hands. He was probably looking down on them, smiling coldly as he threw them off the balcony.Sabrina’s face turned bright red at the thought.She had just wanted to thank him for the beautiful clothes and the laptop.Now, she felt like she had been overthinking things, trying to show feelings toward someone that had never been interested.She returned to her motel with a head full of thoughts. Lying down with her clothes on, she was unable to sleep.Part of the reason was the filters, and the other half was because of Aunt Grace's illness.Her thoug

Sabrina immediately stood upright, when she saw who she had collided with. Her expression immediately turned cold. “I’m sorry!”Old Master Shaw scrutinised Sabrina with a disgusted look before he smiled coldly. “The last time I saw you, your face was thick with cheap makeup. This time, your entire body is filthy, your face is black and ugly. Who are you?”Sabrina could not be bothered to entertain him. He seemed to be a strict but kind person on the surface, but he had never been friendly to her at all. Instead, he was an extremely rude old man.She ignored Old Master Shaw, and tried to continue walking forwards. However, Old Master Shaw raised his walking stick to block her way.Sabrina asked coldly, “What are you doing?”“Answer my question!” The old master barked at Sabrina with an extremely oppressive tone.Suppressing her anger, Sabrina asked, “Mister, do I know you?”“Are you not Sebastian’s constant wife? The one that he bought for two months to fulfil his mother’s dying

She really did not want to waste her breath on anyone here.All she wanted to do was find out about Aunt Grace’s situation as soon as possible.Mindy got bored talking to Sabrina who wasn’t responding, and followed Old Master Shaw inside. Behind her, Marcus, who had just parked his car, walked over.Ever since Old Master Shaw had prohibited Marcus from meeting Sabrina, Marcus had not seen her. Meeting her again now, Marcus' heart was a mess.He felt sorry for Sabrina“Why…did you do this to yourself?” Marcus said pitifully.Sabrina said, “Mr Shaw, if you don’t want me to call the police, you best distance yourself from me!”Marcus was speechless. He hesitated for a moment, then said sincerely, “Sabrina, I know you’re angry and I don’t blame you for it. After a few days, once everything with Madam Ford dies down, I will make arrangements for you.”Sabrina said nothing in response.Marcus hurried to follow Old Master Shaw and Mindy.Sabrina remained standing by the hospital e
Chapter 113
Sebastian had a solemn expression. His manly bronze complexion carried a deep sense of sadness.But still, he did not allow himself to let out any emotion.With a face that seemed to be sad and tired, he looked at Sabrina, unmoving.Sabrina could not guess what Sebastian was thinking.She had always thought she was steady and impenetrable. But in front of him, she felt like a transparent piece of paper.Just like right now, he might have an aura of sadness around him due to his mother’s condition. He still did not let out any tears of pain, only suppressing his sadness inside himself.Outwardly, he still looked cold and dignified in his suit.But her?She was filthy, and her face was blackened. She had been either tricked by Selene, or mocked by Nigel, or even berated by Old Master Shaw. She had even been talked down to by Mindy.There was also Sebastian.Sabrina did not know how Sebastian was going to handle her after he had the freedom to do so.He had deep foundations, an

It was only when it was slightly past the time Sabrina was supposed to head back to work, did she leave the hospital.Thankfully, no one caused any trouble for the rest of the afternoon. When work was about to end, a designer who was helping the director to manage the department, called out to Sabrina. “Sabrina, from tomorrow onward, you can skip coming to the office for a week. Head to the construction site, we need people there.”Sabrina nodde. “Okay.”She was actually very willing to go to the construction site. The work there might be harder and more tiring, but it was not taxing to her heart.Besides, they gave huge portions of food at the site. As she had a child in her belly, she needed to eat a lot. However, if she went to the construction site, it meant she would not have the time to visit Aunt Grace in the afternoon.After leaving work, Sabrina immediately rushed to the hospital. She felt like since it was late, there would not be any guests visiting Aunt Grace. She lo
