Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1023

Suddenly, Sebastian Brenand's phone vibrated.

Seeing that it was an unknown number, Sebastian declined the call and threw his phone aside impatiently.

Soon, his phone vibrated again. The same number was shown on the screen.

Only then did Sebastian pick up the call though he was reluctant to do so. "What do you want?"

Following that statement, he slowly sat up from the bed and leaned against the bedhead lazily. When he found a comfortable position to rest his heavy head, he closed his eyes again.

"Is this Sebastian Brenand?" It was a young man's voice.

"Yes, I am. Who are you?"

"Hello, Young Master Brenand. I'm George Orsen."

Sebastian's mood went downhill as soon as he heard the name.

Raw jealousy flowed through him like lava.

"You're Rachel's husband, right? What do you want from me? Huh?" Sebastian jabbed.

"Actually... I'm not her husband."

"What do you mean? Did the two of you get a divorce?"

"No... Our marriage is merely a lie. The marriage certificate you saw the other day is fake." George confessed.

Sebastian was stunned when he heard that.

"What do you mean?"

"After leaving you, Rachel found that she has lymphoma. She knew that she wouldn't be able to stay with you forever. Therefore, she had chosen to reject you when you came to Edgewater. She even asked me to fake a marriage certificate so you would give up on her."

Every word smashed Sebastian's heart as though they were thousand pounds of boulders.

His heart was bleeding unceasingly. It hurt so bad he could hardly breathe.

Never in his life had he imagined that Rachel was lying to him. He could not accept how harsh the truth was. Sebastian's lips parted slightly, his mind running wild. There were a lot of things he wanted to ask George.

However, no words came out of his mouth.

Something was stuck in his throat. It was so irritating that Sebastian was going to lose his sanity.

"She loves you very much.

"I'm her doctor, and I've been helping her since she was diagnosed with lymphoma. She stares at your picture almost every day. I can tell that she loves you with all her heart.

"Her condition has been improving lately. Unfortunately, it went downhill two days ago. She fainted and was sent to the ICU right away.

"She's still in a coma now. I'm afraid that she can't hold on any longer...

"She keeps calling your name even in her comatose state. She cries every time she calls your name...

"I guess she misses you very much. My heart breaks whenever I look at her.

"Therefore, I have taken the liberty of contacting you. I took her phone and searched for your number. I hope that you can come to see her one last time." George's words pierced Sebastian's heart like a merciless blade.

The pain was unbearable.

Soon, tears stung his eyes and subconsciously coursed down his cheeks.

Rachel Wood! You silly girl!

"Where is she now?" Sebastian asked eagerly.

"Edgewater Hospital."

"I'll be right over."

With that, Sebastian hung up on George and jumped out of bed like a maniac. He dashed out of the room without changing his shirt nor shaving.
