In The Blink Of An Eye
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
None dared to comment anything because they were all besieged by the Jadesons’ army.
Just like that, a political warfare ended in a breeze.
Next, Jonathan started reshuffling positions at the White House like how he used to strategize and
organize his own army. Everyone was terrified of his ruthlessness.
Within a couple of days, the whole political scene was thoroughly changed and begun anew.
Honestly speaking, Sebastian was not as excellent as his grandfather in terms of politics. The main
reason was that he utterly loathed it. Additionally, Jonathan was a seasoned veteran who had decades of
experience in politics. He knew everything about the power games, like the back of his palm.
Finally, the crisis was resolved.
Meanwhile, it took a few days for Sasha to calm down, but she had eventually made peace with the new
reality.
She pleaded for Shin to unlock her door, which he did. Then, she went to the next room and started
taking care of the unconscious man.
“Let Sebastian stay and recuperate here, for the weather in the mountains is nice.”
“Will he wake up?” Jonathan was curious.
Shin lifted his head and anticipated a positive response from the doctor.
However, Grayson suppressed his urge to reveal the truth and said nothing. Actually, the only reason
why he’s still breathing is that he’s put on a ventilator. So, the chance of him recovering is very slim.
By the time Solomon arrived at SteelFort, the people there were long gone, except for Karl.
“Mr. Solomon, we might not be able to serve you further. Mr. Hayes has met with a mishap, and we’re
unsure when he will come. The people here at SteelFort have been divided into four teams. Apart from
the three children, the rest of them have been assigned to protect Mr. and Mrs. Hayes.”
Karl was downcast.
It was his second time seeing Sebastian going through yet another traumatic experience.
If the first time was attributed to the fact that he was an immature rookie, then this time is definitely a
consequence of his great capacities and heavy responsibilities. None of these is his fault, so he shouldn’t
be blamed.
Tears glistened Solomon’s eyes as he looked across at the vacant hall. Moments later, he continued, “It’s
okay. I have other staff. But, what about you? Where are you heading to next?”
“My priority is to keep Old Mr. Jadeson safe. This was the instruction from Mr. Hayes previously. They
have all landed themselves right at the center of the political quandary, and things can change any
minute of the day. With Old Mr. Jadeson getting on in age and Mr. Devin being out of reach most of the
time at the military base, I need to watch out for him.”
“Right, I got it.” Solomon nodded his head solemnly.
It once again proved that he would never be as good a strategist as Sebastian.
Does it mean that he has anticipated this ‘planned accident’? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made all
these detailed arrangements down to their nitty-gritty.
As such, Solomon returned to Hayes Corporation.
Since then, there was peace in the nation, with Jonathan and Devin formally taking over the driver’s seat.
On the other hand, Sasha stayed in the mountains to take care of Sebastian, who was still in a coma,
whereas the children continued their studies at their respective campuses.
Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.
“Mommy, my graduation is just around the corner. Are you attending the ceremony?”
Vivian, who was studying in Yartran, had now turned into a fine young lady.
Since Sebastian’s accident, she had become very thoughtful and obedient. She often called Sasha from
overseas and seldom burdened her with unnecessary trouble.
This was a rare occasion where she called to ask for a favor.
Before answering the phone, Sasha was giving Sebastian a massage. She had to keep his muscles
active so that they would not shrink and become weak if he ever woke up.
She stepped out of the room when she saw that Vivian was calling.
“Oh, really? Which day is that?”
“It’s the day after tomorrow, Mommy. Do you have time to swing by?” a crisp voice asked pleadingly.
But the day after tomorrow is…
Sasha thought about the bed of marigold that she had planted. It was already in full bloom, and the best
time to pluck the flower buds for medicinal use was two days later. Otherwise, it would have no effect at
all.
Sasha paused.
“Mommy, are you planning on picking up some herbs for Daddy on that day? That’s fine; go ahead then.
I’ll attend the ceremony with my friends.”
The intelligent girl could tell that her mother was in a dilemma, so she made the final call and eased her
mother out of her misery.
Tearing up, Sasha felt so bad.
“I’m so sorry, Vivi. I haven’t been taking good care of you these past few years.”
Vivian comforted her mother, “It’s okay, Mommy. I can call Uncle Solomon or Aunt Ichika and check if
they have the time to come over. Don’t take it to heart, okay?”
Oh yes, there are always Solomon and Ichika.
Sasha was relieved when she heard the two names.
The couple had been giving them so much support over the years. Whenever the kids had issues in their
studies, either Solomon or Ichika would step in and lend a hand.
When the day came for Sasha to pick the herbs, she carried her basket and went deep into the
mountains.
Over the years, she had been carefully trying out various methods, herbal remedies, and even
acupuncture on Sebastian. As a result, his body temperature started to regulate better, and his pulse
was also more stable.
“Sebby, I’m certain that you will regain consciousness soon. Right?”
Before setting off, she planted a kiss on his forehead.
