Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Chapter 1367 Saving Someone

When Sasha heard this piece of good news, she tossed her phone away and ran over.

Ian, who was in the middle of solving some questions, raised his head and glanced at his mother.

“I’m just visiting, Mommy.”

“I know, but that’s already very impressive! I heard that it’s the most confidential place amongst the national

research institutions. I’m so proud of you, Little Ian!”

Sasha hugged her son and kissed his forehead forcefully.

Ian was at a loss for words.

A rosy blush appeared on his fair and handsome face. Embarrassed, he lowered his head and continued with his

homework.

Sebastian watched him approvingly.

“So, want to come along?”

“Huh? Do we have to take a boat? It isn’t on this island, right?” Upon realizing that she might have to take a boat,

Sasha paled.

She recalled how she had arrived here the previous time.

Although she had never experienced seasickness before, she did that time. When she came, she vomited during

the entire duration of the boat ride. It was torturous.

Sebastian said unhesitatingly, “I can arrange for a helicopter to come.”

Sasha replied, “Forget it. Let’s not go through all that trouble. You are just going there for a day, right? I won’t tag

along. Just take some photos for me.”

As it was really troublesome, she refused.

Sebastian had no choice but to agree.

After the children had fallen asleep, Sasha and Sebastian finally got to enjoy some time alone with each other.

“Can I, darling?”

“Hm… What do you think?”

Sasha’s body was pinned underneath Sebastian’s. Underneath the dim light, she gazed at him, her eyes filled with a

look of amusement and exasperation.

No one could be more shameless than him.

A night of passion ensued.

When Sasha opened her eyes the next morning, her body completely sore, she realized that there was no one

beside her. However, there was a note left on the bedside table.

Sebastian had scribbled a note saying that breakfast was ready and was placed in the holding cabinet.

As mornings on the island were cold and wet, he told her not to go out. He had already gotten fresh vegetables and

food from the research institute and placed them in the fridge.

He even said that he had already washed all the clothes, which were in the washing machine.

If it were not for the fact that Ian had to leave, he would have hung them up to dry.

Sasha found it amusing.

She suddenly remembered that Sebastian used to be a man powerful enough to create a commotion nationwide. In

the past, he conquered the business world and dominated everyone else.

Yet, he had now become an ordinary man who would cook for her, and whose life revolved around her and their

kids.

Am I committing a crime?

Sasha got up from bed.

After washing up, she ate the breakfast that Sebastian had prepared. As she had nothing else to do, she brought a

stool out and started tending to the vegetable patch in the garden.

“You’re awake, Mrs. Hayes. Can you follow me to the research institute to take a look? Hugh’s illness has relapsed.”

“Okay.”

When Sasha saw the research institute staff running over while panting, she quickly tossed the hoe aside and

followed the staff.

This was her recent job too.

As the island was too far away from the mainland, one could not visit the hospital easily after falling sick.

Although there was an infirmary, the doctors there were not very skilled. When the rest found out that Sasha used

to be an extremely impressive TCM doctor, they sought her out all the time.

Sasha rushed to the research institute.

“He didn’t eat anything much this morning and became like this,” said the woman who brought Sasha over.

A middle-aged man was lying on the chair and grunting.

Sasha walked over.

“Hugh? Hugh?”

“Huh?” The man opened his eyes.

“You’re here, Mrs. Hayes.”

“Yeah. How are you feeling? Do you feel uncomfortable?”

After waking him up, Sasha kept talking to him to ensure that he was conscious while she checked him up.

To her surprise, when she took his pulse, she realized that his pulse was weak. It seemed quite strange as well.

“I… I didn’t eat anything much. I only ate some bread and oatmeal. They’re just some normal food.”

Sasha stopped asking.

She checked his eyes and pressed on his stomach. After looking at his tongue, she fell silent.

The staff from the research institute asked, “Mrs. Hayes, is Hugh going to be all right?”

Another woman chimed in, “Yeah, what’s wrong with him? The doctors have checked on him before, but they found

nothing. He’s been taking his medicine regularly too, but it didn’t seem to solve anything.”

“Of course it won’t solve anything. He’s been poisoned, and the poison has seeped through his organs. I need you

guys to think carefully about what he has touched or eaten recently.”

Sasha told them her diagnosis solemnly.

Huh? Poisoned?

Everyone in the research institute was stunned when they heard it.

How can there be poison in the research institute? This isn’t a biology research laboratory. It’s a place researching

microchips and quantum mechanics. Where would the poison come from?

The research institute staff started searching around anxiously.

Meanwhile, Sasha used her silver needles to alleviate the engineer’s pain.

Then, she planned to collect some medicinal herbs that could minimize the effects of the poison. As there was no

ready supply of herbs, she had to forage for fresh ones.
