Chapter 593

Chapter 593

"No problem, get some rest. The doc said even after the anesthesia wears off, you should sleep a bit more. I've got a nurse lined up to stay with you. I'll be back in an hour."

They were in a deluxe hospital room, complete with a small kitchen.

Once Estelle fell asleep, Christina headed out to the grocery store.

Sebastian had been trailing her silently the whole time, wanting to help carry things, but she kept brushing him off.

At the grocery store.

Christina's cart quickly filled up.

All of Estelle's favorite meats, milk, and various utensils.

She was clearly preparing for a long stay at the hospital.

The doctor had said Estelle would need to stay for at least a week, so Christina was making sure everything was ready.

Clothes, shoes, pajamas, toiletries, and all kinds of food.

The cart was almost overflowing.

When Christina picked up a casserole dish, Sebastian grabbed it from her and put it in his cart.

Christina tried to take it back, but Sebastian turned away. "Alright, knock it off. I know I messed up. Even if you want to punish me, shouldn't you give me a chance to make up for it? Let me show you I get it, okay?"

Christina shot him a cold look.

Their eyes locked.

Sebastian looked desperate. "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted you. Please, give me a chance, okay?"

Christina opened her mouth to say something but couldn't find the words.

This whole thing had hurt too much.

No matter what, it wasn't something that could be fixed with a few words.

Estelle was still waiting at the hospital, so Christina didn't want to drag this out. She took her stuff and headed back to the hospital.

In the kitchen.

Christina casually tied her hair up and put on an apron, then started cooking.

Her busy figure looked so focused, serious, and gentle.

Once upon a time.

Sebastian used to see this beautiful scene every day.

But he had thrown it all away with his own actions.

Sebastian watched quietly from the side. He wanted to help, but no one paid him any attention.

With no other option, he went back to the room to stay with Estelle.

The porridge was ready.

Christina patiently cooled it down before feeding Estelle.

After all, he was just a kid, and his fears quickly faded, replaced by the joy of eating delicious food.

Night fell.

Estelle had slept all day and couldn't sleep at night, so Christina lay on the bed and started telling him stories.

Sebastian sat on the sofa, legs crossed, lost in thought as he read emails.

It was clear the other side had been prepared and had taken advantage of the situation.

If this had anything to do with Tamsin, then someone had used the situation to take Estelle away.

Now, even Tamsin had people looking for Estelle.

Of course, news of Estelle's return had already spread, and those involved had quickly gone into hiding.

But Tamsin was a step behind, and he had found some clues.

Although there was no concrete evidence, the traces were enough.

Tamsin.

How bold of her.

To dare lay a hand on Estelle.

Sebastian's hand slowly clenched into a fist, making a sound, his eyes filled with cold fury.

It seemed everything that happened that day was Tamsin's doing. She had come to the hospital to cause trouble, pretended to have a miscarriage, and then took Estelle away in the chaos.

Looking at the two figures snuggled together on the bed, Sebastian slowly walked out of the room and headed to another building.

Meanwhile.

Tamsin was on edge, staring nervously at her phone.

Kaida was exasperated. "How many times have I told you? Even if the sky falls, you gotta stay calm. If you look guilty before anyone says anything, who else would they suspect?"

"Besides, even if they have something on you, so what? As long as there's no evidence, just deny everything. Tamsin, you're still too young."

Lack of experience.

But age wasn't a problem. With careful grooming, she could handle things on her own in the future.

Tamsin shook her head. "You saw it too. That guy is too much. He's using this to threaten me. I'm worried that if they trace the foreign accounts, he won't protect me. He'll sell me out."

It was so frustrating.

She had originally wanted to use him, but he turned out to be no good, threatening her instead.

No way, Tamsin was already pregnant, about to reach the peak of her life. She couldn't afford to suffer such a loss.

Kaida and Tamsin exchanged a glance.

They knew they had to deny everything to the end.

In the dead of night, the sound of leather shoes on the floor was particularly clear.

The sound came closer and soon reached their door.

The door was gently pushed open, and Sebastian stood there with a dark expression.

He looked at Tamsin with a sneer, then turned his gaze to Kaida. "Was it you?"

Tamsin nervously swallowed, while Kaida remained much calmer.

"What are you talking about? We don't understand. By the way, did you find Estelle? We heard she was found and wanted to ask, but we didn't want to bother you."

Kaida's voice was as steady as ever, showing no signs of guilt.

Sebastian sneered at their hypocrisy. "I know what you're thinking. You think Estelle is in the way. Once she's gone, all the assets will be yours. But did you ever consider that those assets are mine? I decide who gets them."

He stepped into the room, staring hard at Tamsin's belly.

Tamsin felt a chill down her spine and instinctively hid behind Kaida.

Sebastian's expression remained unchanged as he stared mockingly at her flat stomach. "Since I found out about this child, I've been confused, wondering how to deal with it. At first, I thought, it's just a child, no big deal. I could use it as an excuse for Aunt Athena. But..."

He picked up a glass from the side, and with a crack, it shattered in his hand, shards piercing his palm, blood flowing freely.

Seeing this, Kaida and Tamsin gasped.

They hadn't expected Sebastian to have such strength, crushing the glass bare-handed.

The glass shards embedded in his palm, the wound gaping and gruesome.

Tamsin was already scared stiff, while Kaida's voice trembled. "What are you doing? Are you trying to get back at us? We already said, we had nothing to do with what happened to Estelle. We really didn't do anything."

"What's true can't be faked, and what's fake can't be true. I'll keep investigating. If I find out you had anything to do with Estelle's disappearance, what do you think will happen to you?"
