Sebastian buried his face in his palms and breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterward, he stood up from the chair he had sat on for a while.
As he was about to walk past Frank, he uttered.
“Thank you so much.I’ve asked someone to buy breakfast for you and your colleagues.An extra bowl of abalone soup was
added to yours.”
Without saying anything, Frank hummed a song and rubbed his aching shoulders as he walked away.
Sebastian went straight to the ICU and opened the door.
Natalie was lying still on the bed.She had a blue breathing tube on her nose and an IV drip needle in her left hand.
A filled drip bag was hanging on a stand beside her bed.She looked very weak.Her eyes peeled open as soon as Sebastian
walked into the ward.
When she saw him, she raised a finger and forced a smile.
“You are here.” Sebastian walked over and grabbed her right hand.
A thousand words were at the tip of his tongue, but he couldn’t get them out.
After kissing the back of her hand very hard, he choked and asked worriedly, “Do you feel pain?” Natalie shook her head slightly.
Although her face was pale and her smile was faint, her eyes were as bright and beautiful as always.
“How did we get rescued?”
Sebastian pulled up the quilt to cover her properly.
After. keeping silent for a few seconds, he finally replied, “You were saved by the government rescuers.” Natalie stared at him
blankly for a while.
All of a sudden, she asked worriedly, “Where is the girl who was with me? How is she doing?”

“Well, she was also admitted to this hospital.She’s in a much better state than you.Don’t worry, okay?” Sebastian was utterly
appalled by Natalie’s behavior.
Despite her weak state, she still cared about someone else.His heart ached slightly.
Oblivious to the change in her husband’s mood and the thoughts in his head, Natalie continued, “Okay, that’s good to. know.I
must thank her later.I won’t be alive now if it weren’t for her.
She actually jumped into the river to save me.”
“You never cease to amaze me, Natalie. You always put others first.Don’t you know that your condition is serious?” Sebastian
scolded seriously.
When he saw that Natalie had fallen silent and was staring at him expressionlessly, he added, “I’m sorry for speaking in that
tone.But I don’t want you to think about anything now. You have to take a good rest first and get well.”
Natalie was fast asleep, Sebastian exited the ward and quietly closed the door behind him.
Garrett was leaning against the wall across the hallway, waiting.
The moment he saw Sebastian cout of the ICU.he straightened, smoothed his suit, and walked over.
“How is the investigation going?” Sebastian asked after casting his friend a short glance.
“Find whoever is behind this.Getthe names of everyone involved.” His gaze darkened with every word he spoke.
Sunlight filtered through the windows, casting long shadows as the two men strode down the corridor.
Garret pushed his glasses against the bridge of his nose and answered carefully.
“The drivers of both vehicles died in the accident. The police didn’t discover anything suspicious, either. They ruled it as just
another unfortunate incident.”
Sebastian stopped walking and narrowed his eyes.
“They’re both dead?” He sneered at the scenery outside.
“How convenient.”

“Well, several rear-end accidents have happened on the sbridge in the last few months.Sdrivers said that the lights on
the bridge were not bright enough, so sometimes they just misjudged the road conditions.”
Sebastian tapped on the iron raiting of the corridor as his mind raced.
“It can’t possibly be this simple,” he muttered under his breath After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and assumed
his usual aloof expression.
“I’ll look into this myself. There are many sides to the story you’re still unaware of.Take care of company matters while I handle
this.”
Garrett frowned in bewilderment, but Sebastian was already walking into the elevator before he could ask anything.
In truth, Sebastian already had a suspect in mind.
After all, Lauren and Cassie didn’t care to hide their desire to have Natalie killed. He wouldn’t put it past them to hire someone to
murder his wife.
Sebastian took the information Garrett had put together and used it to further investigate the driver of the truck.He paid a visit to
the man’s neighborhood and asked around.
“Are you talking about the handicapped guy who drives a truck?”.
“Isn’t he supposed to be terminally ill? I heard that his doctor gave him just a few days more to live.Oh! And he has a son who’s
currently on the run.A wanted criminal, you see.”
The neighbors weren’t reserved at all, and divulged a lot more than he had originally expected.
“Rumors say that the son went abroad to escape the authorities.”
“What? Where would he get the money for a plane ticket? No, how did he manage to slip past the local police in the first place?”
“None of this makes sense.”
Clearly, something fishy was going on beneath the surface.
Following this, Sebastian shifted his focus to the son of the truck driver.

Sure enough, the man was wanted for various crimes.
More importantly, he had fled the country not too long ago with someone’s help.
After smore digging, Sebastian traced the criminal’s connections to Luke Turner.
The whole picture was finally taking shape. The mastermind must be Cassie.
Sebastian speculated that she had talked the truck driver into this murder-suicide mission.
In return, she had coaxed Luke into making arrangements for the driver’s son to escape overseas.
The man didn’t have long to live, anyway, so the accident was intentionally fatal so as to leave no witnesses.
And since there was no monetary bribe, the authorities were quick to rule out the possibility of homicide.
They dismissed the case as an ordinary traffic accident.
Sebastian had to give Cassie scredit—it was indeed a good plan.
Sebastian thought that he had hit the nail on the head when it cto the veracity of his suspicions.
However, the driver who had caused the accident was now dead, so he couldn’t testify against Lauren and Cassie difficulty
finding any solid evidence of a deal between the two sides.
In any event, Luke was sharp witted and cunning.He would also be very careful with anything he tampered with to ensure no one
would easily discover his involvement.
More importantly, Natalie had almost lost her life in this accident.
Sebastian really wasn’t in any mood to carefully and thoroughly search for evidence.
He just wanted to be with Natalie, and he already knew had been behind this anyway.
He didn’t want to waste any more time, so he decided to resort to the simplest, most crude but efficient method available to him.
He sent people from the Pole Shadow organization to deal with it.
