The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

Chapter 1430 Things Changed

That’s probably a phenomenon of one’s nerves relaxing after having been stretched taut.

Sasha clocked that, and a sense of relief suffused her. After leaving the hospital and arriving back at

the hotel, she headed over to the man keeping the few children company in the suite upon spotting

him. Then, she sat down cross-legged in front of him.

“I think Solomon has found the light in his life this time.”

“Really?”

Hearing her use the word light to describe the man who had been in love with her all his life for the first

time, Sebastian surprisingly lifted his head and looked at her seriously.

Chortling, Sasha asserted, “Yup. In the hospital earlier, I noticed his anxiety and fear. When he heard

that Ichika was fine, his eyes even turned red-rimmed at one point. Haha, this is great! I can finally rest

easy.”

She had no qualms saying that at all.

Firstly, she considered him family and was purely worried about him.

And secondly, she was solemnly informing the man in front of her about it.

Since Solomon had finally turned his affections to another woman, the man naturally didn’t have to be

jealous all day long anymore.

To her surprise, the man before her didn’t appear relieved as expected after she had finished saying

that.

Instead, his stern brows knitted together.

“I’m afraid that things aren’t so simple. She wouldn’t have attempted to kill her sister for no reason.

Take a rabbit, for instance. When have you ever seen it biting someone?”

“When it’s backed into a corner?” Sasha blurted.

Indeed, it was only when a rabbit was backed into a corner would it bite.

In the city where snowflakes fluttered in the sky, the chill felt even more biting when night fell.

Solomon sensed that icy coldness as well, for when the girl who had finally regained consciousness in

the hospital room only said a few words to him after opening her eyes before she murmured, “Let’s get

a divorce, Akiyama.”

“What did you just say?”

He narrowed his eyes a fraction, thinking that he must have heard Ichika wrongly.

A divorce? She actually proposed to get a divorce with me? She wouldn’t leave even when I chased

her away and insisted on staying by my side despite knowing that I was merely treating her as a

substitute, yet she’s now asking me for a divorce?

He stretched a hand out to touch her forehead, wanting to check whether she was running a fever.

However, when his hand reached her, he noticed that she had turned her head away for the very first

time.

He was instantly struck dumb.

“I’m serious, Akiyama. I made an unforgivable mistake this time. I want to atone for it to the ancestors

of the Minamoto family, so I’ll be staying at the temple henceforth. Please grant me my wish,” Ichika

whispered in a choked voice as she lay on the hospital bed.

When her words fell, Solomon studied her averted face. At long last, he started believing that she was

serious.

“Oh, so that’s what this is all about. In that case, don’t worry. I’ve already told your father that you’ve

married me, thus have nothing to do with the Minamoto family anymore.”

“No, I do. I’m still the heiress of the Minamoto family.”

Argh! She’s still being very stubborn!

Solomon’s eyes darkened, and he didn’t continue arguing with her. Instead, when he glanced at the IV

drip and saw that it was almost finished, he went out and got the nurse.

That night, the couple didn’t say anything else in the hospital room.

Ichika feigned sleep, and Solomon didn’t disrupt her when he saw that she was “sleeping.”

Instead, he worked in the hospital room on his laptop for most of the night before catching some

shuteye.

When he woke up, it was already bright daylight.

Rubbing his groggy eyes, he groped for his glasses on the table and slipped them on, only to discover

that the hospital bed had been vacated a long time ago.

Hmm? Where is she?

He immediately stood up and went out in search of her.

“Ichika?” he called out along the corridors in the hospital.

There was no response, but a nurse came over instead. When she saw that he was looking for

someone, she told him Ichika’s whereabouts.

“Ms. Minamoto is getting some sunlight downstairs. She told us not to wake you since you worked for

the entire night. You can find her downstairs.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Solomon then hastened downstairs.

Sure enough, when he had gotten downstairs, he spotted the girl in a hospital gown basking in the

sunlight in the garden that was still blanketed in a thick layer of snow at a single glance.

Why on earth did she come down here when it’s so cold?

He promptly went over to her.

“Why did you come downstairs alone, Ichika? How could such paltry sunlight give you any warmth on

such a chilly day? You might just catch a cold instead.”

He didn’t bring his jacket down, so he planned on bringing her back to the hospital room after reaching

her.

But then, the girl suddenly turned back when she heard his voice behind her.

“Akiyama, look, the sun is out!” A smile bloomed on her pale face. Her arms were wide opened, with

her palms facing upward as though she was holding the sunlight in them.

Verily, she was joyous and optimistic.

On the contrary, Solomon was a touch morose because he heard her calling him by name again

instead of the usual endearment.

“All right. It’s cold, so let’s go back.”

Keeping his emotions in check, he patiently went over to bring her back.

Unexpectedly, she stretched her cold hands and placed them into his palms out of the blue, grasping

him tightly. As she looked down at him, her gaze was seemingly riveted.
