She’s Married, Sir (Scarlett and Sebastian)
Chapter 198

Chapter 198

Susan's firm words struck him, leaving his heart suddenly hollow as if something had been taken away.

He shook his head at Susan with red eyes, "No, if she died, you wouldn't have cremated her so quickly..."

Dev loved her so much, how could he bear to cremate her?!

Susan coldly gazed at him, feeling a sudden pang of pity for his inability to accept the truth.

She was quiet for a moment, then spoke in a chilly tone, "Scarlett was so overwhelmed upon hearing Scarlee's voice that she wanted to be cremated right away."

She was the one who requested to be cremated immediately after she died...

It was because he did not come to see her for the last time and let Scarlee hurt her.

So she also did not let him see her for the last time, not even her body?

When he realized that Scarlett had departed this world with such regret and unwillingness, Sebastian's blood instantly froze. He felt as if all his strength had been sapped, and he could no longer stand. He slumped against the wall and sank to the chill ground.

The feeling of suffocation was as if a hand had clenched around his heart, stealing away his breath in an instant

Seeing him fall to the ground like dead ashes, Susan thought his image was very funny. "You just took her as a substitute for Scarler, and now you put on an affectionate look. Are you worthy of that dream girl of yours?"

Sebastian raised his eyes which were covered with tears and looked at Susan. "I have never treated her as a substitute..." Susan's face was full of disdain. "It's useless for you to say this now. Scarlett always thought that she was Scarlee's substitute when she was alive."

Sebastian's heart skipped a beat once more, the agonizing pain radiating from his palm, so intense that he could scarcely breathe.

He slowly lowered his eyes and eyelashes. He did not argue any further. The endless darkness enveloped him, making him

fall silent.

After a long time, he moved his lips but didn't say a word. When he opened his mouth again, his voice was already trembling. "When... when did she have heart failure?"

Susan didn't leave because she wanted to stay here to provoke him. Seeing him finally ask about the matter of her heart failure, she could not help but raise her eyebrows and mock, "You slept with her for five years and you didn't even know. How would I know?"

Yeah, he didn't even know about it after being with her for five years and he even had to ask her friend. What a joke...

Susan thought for a moment and said, "She suffered from heart decay before signing the agreement with you...*

At first, she was reluctant to say it, yet she felt it was necessary to inform him of how unkind he had been to Scarlett over the years.

Sebastian's body stiffened, and his face turned a little paler.

It turned out that she had suffered for so long, but he did not realize it.

No, he found it once....

It happened four years ago...

He remembered that night, he was reluctant to leave. He could not help but hug her to sleep, but then he heard her call Liam's name in her sleep.

He was so angry that he pushed her away. Maybe he pushed her a little too hard and she was directly woken up and then her breathing was rapid. She reached out to him with difficulty and asked him to take her to the hospital...

In a fit of anger, he was oblivious to her heart condition and, thus, uncaring of her feelings; instead, he deliberately humiliated her with money to vent his anger.

The guilt from the past that had come recklessly once again clutched his respiratory tract, making him unable to breathe for a long time.

She had an innate heart disease that had progressed to heart failure in its late stages, yet she kept it from him, likely due to her lack of hope.

"Dr. Lanny said that if she hadn't been beaten up, she should have been able to live for another two months with medicine. However, you guys got her killed."

"Sebastian, it's one thing that your cousin and fiancée found an opportunity to take revenge on her. Why did you attack her as well?"

"Could it be that after all these years, you have no feelings for her at all?"

If he had no feelings for her at all, then what was the point of him showing up here?

If they had feelings for each other, why did he hit her together with those two bad women?

Susan's words were like several sharp needles stabbing into his palm, causing his face to turn pale from the pain.

He slowly lowered his head and looked at his right hand....

It was this hand that slapped Scarlett, causing her to fall onto the nail.

If he didn't slap her, maybe she could live for another two months...

It was him who killed her...

However, on the day he terminated the agreement, she asked him to stay.

She had asked him so carefully that the contract would only expire in half a year and if he could wait a little longer.

How did he reply back then? He did not even say a word and only looked down at her from above.

That indifferent expression made her not dare to say another word to keep him.

Afraid he might mistakenly take her joking as pestering, she smiled and clarified she was only teasing.

When Sebastian thought of how helpless and desperate she was under her peaceful and beautiful smile, his heart could not help but ache.

She, a patient with heart failure, had accompanied him for five years without any regrets, but what had he done?

Not only did he ignore her with indifference, but he even went so far as to slap her and rob her of her remaining days.
