Chapter 1526 Death Is Inevitable

Finally, a huge burden was lifted off the shoulders of Sasha and her family when issues about thedeal drew to a close.

Sebastian was exceptionally relieved. He was swamped with work during the busy period and lostsome weight as a result. Hence, Sasha was thinking of taking a breather by planning for a fallvacation for both of them.

Sabrina texted: You're going on a trip? Then, who is going to manage the bar? I can't do it, andIchika is in Avenport. So, are we going to shut down the business?

As soon as Sabrina heard the news at the comfort of her own home at Red Pavilion, she grumbledimmediately.

Upon receiving her text, Sasha immediately replied: It's a short one to relax for several days. We'll beback before you know it.

Ichika responded: Where are you going, Sha? Are you swinging by Avenport? It's been ages sincewe last met. I miss you so much!

Ichika, who had been quiet for a long time, appeared suddenly in the chat group with an invitationto the couple.

Avenport?

Sasha was rather tempted.

That sounds good. After all, it's the place where we grew up. The weather is great, and our relativesare there. Wouldn't it be wonderful to pay a visit again?

Upon hanging up, Sasha went upstairs to look for Sebastian, only to see him scribbling somethingat his desk.

She approached him to take a closer look and realized that he was drawing a familiar map."W-Why are you drawing the temple? Are you thinking what I'm thinking?”

“The time bomb needs to be diffused. Moreover, the radiation emitted from the underground lab isvery harmful to the monks. It's going to spell trouble if anyone accidentally walks into it,” hefrowned and said while sketching.

Staring at that man, Sasha gulped, completely lost for words.

He's becoming less and less like himself. In the past, he was always the heartless guy with a God-likepresence who never cared about anything other than himself.

Now, he's like a totally different person—one who is concerned about the safety of others. Is it truethat people change and become more thoughtful as they age? But he's only thirty-five.

Sasha decided to leave him alone and strode to the kitchen to prepare him some nutritious foodinstead.

Two days later, Sebastian went up to the mountains with Sasha.

While the couple was gone for half a month, Sasha had Tillie man the bar since the latter was inJadeborough and had time to spare.

Then, it was fall. The temperature in Jadeborough dropped significantly. As age caught up with him,Jonathan's health deteriorated.

Devin messaged: Sebastian, Grandpa fainted, and he's in the hospital now. When are you comingover?

Sasha and Sebastian were enjoying some tasty barbecued wild mushrooms when Devin's messageinterrupted their tranquil night.

She noticed Sebastian's creased forehead as he put down the fork and read the text message.Feeling curious, Sasha asked, “What's wrong? Something happened?”

Sebastian nodded. “Hmm. Grandpa is in the hospital. Let's pack up now and make a move.”

Then, he got himself ready hastily.

Hearing so, Sasha wasted no time before they both made their way to the door.

“Hang on, don’t we need to inform Master, Sebby?”

"Whatever for?” Sebastian refused without a second of thought.

Panic-stricken, Sasha held him back and requested that he wait for her in the courtyard while shehurried over to knock at Shin's door.

“It's late at night. Is there anything that I can help you with, Mrs. Hayes?”

“Master, we've just received news that Grandpa fainted back home and has been rushed to thehospital. Do you want to come with us?” Sasha said anxiously while staring at the monk whoanswered the door.

A long silence ensued.

The monk turned pale and froze in the dim glow of a night lamp.

Though a monk was supposed to let go of any emotional attachments and entanglements in life, itwas usually easier said than done. How many could genuinely practice the ultimate cessation ofdesires and wants?

I don't think his religion will force him to detach himself from those who mean a lot to him. Anyhow,blood is thicker than water.

In the end, Shin left for the hospital alongside the Hayes couple.

When they arrived, Jonathan was still in the operating theater.

Cerebral thrombosis...

Grayson'’s suspicion put all the Jadesons in low spirits.

With his gaze fixated on the tightly shut doors of the operating theater, Shin's callused hands wereseen clasping onto the prayer beads hung in front of his chest.

After three hours of ordeal, the light at the operating theater finally went out.

Sebastian and Devin quickly rose to their feet and darted forward.
