Clemency
The two ladies finally came down ten minutes later.
When Sebastian saw them, he went forward to take Sasha’s hand and led her back to the car.
As for Edmund, even though he refused to hold his wife’s hand, he still waited for her in front of the car.
Much to his surprise, Tillie looked as if her soul had left her body when she came down. He tried calling
out to her a few times but didn’t get any response.
“Tillie, what’s wrong with you? Why aren’t you responding?”
“Huh?”
Only then did Tillie get in the car with him.
During the entire journey back to the Cooper residence, she didn’t say a word. The moment she arrived,
she locked herself in the bedroom.
Meanwhile, Sasha and Sebastian had returned to Oceanic Estate. By the time they reached home,
Sebastian had begun to question her.
“How did it go? Did she admit it?”
Finding Tillie’s response ridiculous, Sasha replied with a hint of mockery, “Yeah, but she was really
arrogant.”
How can she still behave so haughtily after harming someone?
Given how quick-tempered Sebastian was, a grim expression descended on his face.
“What do you mean?”
“She has some mental problems. In fact, I believe she suffers from paranoid personality disorder
because she displays symptoms such as oversensitivity, holding grudges, being overly suspicious,
narrow-mindedness, and being easily jealous. When I was in Moranta, I did some digging on the
environment she was raised in. Perhaps, it was caused by her the values her parents imparted to her
due to her ordinary appearance.”
Considering how well-versed Sasha was in the field of psychology, she was able to diagnose Tillie’s
issue after a short exchange.
Paranoid personality disorder?
Sebastian’s anger receded after hearing Sasha’s explanation.
It had reminded him of his own sickness, which was significantly more severe than Tillie’s. Fortunately,
he had people by his side who refused to give up on him.
It was his adopted father, Frederick, and also his dearest wife, Sasha.
“If that’s the case, we should advise her to see a doctor.”
“Yeah, I spoke to her frankly just now. So now, the ball is in her court. If she really wants to stay by
Edmund’s side, she will accept my suggestion. Furthermore, I promised her that I wouldn’t tell Edmund.”
In the end, Sasha chose clemency.
She believed that a person with a good heart would be able to reflect on their mistakes and change for
the better.
That night, the couple slept well.
The next morning, Sabrina hurried to get herself discharged from the hospital due to Sasha and
Sebastian’s return. Instead of going back to Red Pavilion, she went to Oceanic Estate.
“Sasha, let’s have barbeque tonight. I am craving for it.”
“Huh?”
“What’s wrong with you?” Sebastian, who was coincidentally beside Sasha, snapped.
Sabrina and Sasha were both rendered speechless.
In the end, it was Devin who came over to defuse the situation. “All right now, Sabrina. You have just
been discharged from the hospital. Hence, you had better watch what you eat.”
“Watch what I eat? It’s just barbeque, you know.”
Sabrina continued to play victim.
Feeling bad for what happened, Sasha walked over. “Fine, let’s have barbeque tonight. I’ll go grocery
shopping later.”
“Hurray! By the way, we can invite Tillie over to help. You must know that she is an excellent chef. When
I was in the hospital, I was so well fed that I almost became a pig,” Sabrina proposed all of a sudden.
Sasha turned around to look at Sebastian but realized that he had walked off to the study without saying
a word.
Recognizing that he had no objections, Sasha agreed to Sabrina’s suggestion.
The pregnant Sabrina was elated that her wish was granted. With that, she gave Tillie a call to invite her
over.
When Tillie heard the call, she felt her heart sink. However, after picking up, she was reinvigorated
instead.
“Are you telling me to go over to Oceanic Estate?”
“Yes, Sasha invited you. By the way, she seems to be quite busy. If you don’t mind, can you go to the
mall to grab some groceries?”
Sabrina was as candid as ever.
Nevertheless, Tillie couldn’t be any happier.
Of course she didn’t mind.
In fact, she was more than willing and even honored to do it.
Having recovered her spirit, Tillie left home with a smile on her face. As for Violet and Alice, they no
longer dared to challenge her after learning that she had built a relationship with the Jadesons.
Both of them went off to work obediently.
The moment Tillie stepped out, she couldn’t contain her excitement and sent Sasha a message via her
phone.
Tillie: Mrs. Hayes, I am grateful for the second chance you have given me. Over the years, I have
refused to admit my own weaknesses and blamed my misfortune on others. Thank you for making me
realize this. Consequently, I’ll take your advice and see a psychologist. No matter what happens between
Edmund and me in the future, I will always remember the good you have done me today.
The message was so long that Sasha, who was in the study, had to stop what she was doing to read it.
