When Abigail Tanner got into Sebastian Simons' car, the atmosphere in the car suddenly became very tense. Lily Adams secretly took a glance at Yasmine Taylor, and her eyes were full of guilt. If she had known that Abigail would do this, she would not leave the seat next to Sebastian to this bitch even if she would be third wheeling them.
Fynn Jaymond had a few drinks at the banquet. Although he felt a little tipsy, his mind was still very sober. Just like Lily, he could smell the strong gunpowder smell coming from behind him.
"You drank, didn't you?"
Sebastian stared at him with his sharp eyes. He nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I had some."
"Can you drive? Or should I take over?"
"Oh, you don't have to do that. It's fine. Since I'm your assistant, I won't let you be the driver."
Although his words sounded tactful, Yasmine knew clearly that Fynn just didn't want to be caught in between her and Abigail. In fact, Fynn had been quite close to Abigail in the past. If he sat in the back, they would inevitably start a conversation. It wouldn't be a big deal at all but the point was that Yasmine would still be sitting next to him so if he talked to Abigail, wouldn't it seem like he was going against Yasmine? Therefore, it would be better for him to be the driver than being caught in between these two ladies, he thought. Sebastian didn't want Yasmine to feel uncomfortable, but he couldn't be ruthless to Abigail too. Even if they had never been together for three years at all, he still couldn't ignore a stranger who had asked him for help on a rainy day.
It was just that Fynn hadn't thought this through.
The car slowly drove off and quickly blended into the traffic. As the rain was gradually becoming heavier, the whole city felt like it had fallen into an underwater world. Everything in the car was dead silent and the atmosphere was still as solemn. No one spoke a word, and only the hushed sounds of their breathing could be heard.
"Drive slowly, it's easy to get into an accident in this kind of weather."
"Yes, got it."
As soon as Sebastian finished his words, the red lights in front of him lit up and rows of cars before them stopped in their tracks. However, Fynn stepped on the accelerator by mistake and with a loud bang, their car collided with the car in front of them.
Ah...
With a loud scream, the glass of the car shattered. Yasmine and Abigail fell into a great panic. At that very moment, Sebastian had instinctively hugged Yasmine to shield her from the danger.
Abigail was in a daze as she witnessed Sebastian's behavior. She couldn't believe her eyes. The man who she had always thought had loved her deeply was protecting another woman with his body at the most critical moment. Due to Fynn's mistake, it had caused a very serious accident, and the site quickly fell into chaos. A tiny piece of glass had pierced into Sebastian's forehead and blood was seeping out, but he did not care about the pain at all. He nervously hugged Yasmine and asked, "Yasmine, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Yasmine shook her head with a pale face. "No, I'm not injured. What about you? Are you hurt?"
Seeing that his forehead was bleeding, she hurriedly took out her handkerchief from her pocket and said, "You are bleeding, your forehead is bleeding!"
"I'm fine."
Sebastian had completely ignored his own injury. The only thing that he cared about was whether Yasmine was injured or not. "Quick. Let me see if you're injured elsewhere."
Abigail looked at the two of them with her heart completely broken. At this moment, she finally realized the cruel reality. The man who had once delicately held her in his hand, has no room for her in his heart anymore.
The traffic police and the ambulance had finally arrived. Fynn and Lily, who were sitting in the front seat, were badly injured compared to the others in the back seat. They were soon taken away by the ambulance. It was only then had Sebastian realized about Abigail's existence. He turned around and asked her, "Are you hurt?"
Abigail looked at him coldly and replied, "I'm injured."
"Where?" Abigail pulled her collar down, revealing his name which was engraved on her chest. "Do you see it? Here, I'm hurt here."
Yasmine stared at the word on her chest and slowly turned her head away.
Sebastian pulled her collar back and said in a deep voice, "Don't do this."
Abigail shook off his hand, angrily pushed the door open, and rushed into the rain.
She cried and ran to Peaceful Bay Resort, knocking on the door of Claudine Tucker's apartment. Claudine opened the door and asked in surprise, "What's happened?"
"Godmother..."
She threw herself into her arms and cried hysterically.
Claudine patted her back sympathetically and comforted her, "Don't cry, don't cry. Tell me what had happened."
"What should I do? Sebastian's heart is no longer with me anymore."
Thinking of Sebastian who had completely ignored her, Abigail immediately felt a sharp pain in her heart.
"Go get changed, and then tell me everything."
Claudine dragged Abigail, who was a mess, into the bathroom, and then gave her a clean dress for her to change into. "Take a bath first. I will brew a cup of hot coffee for you." Abigail came out of the bathroom after the bath and sat lifelessly on the sofa. Claudine handed her a cup of hot coffee and said, "Drink it. It's Special Expresso from South America. It helps a lot in calming the mood."
"Thank you."
She took it with one hand and took a sip of the coffee. She then began to tell Claudine what had happened just now. When she mentioned that Sebastian was protecting Yasmine with his body at that critical moment, she burst into tears again.
"He doesn't love me anymore. He really doesn't love me at all. If he still loves me even for a little bit, he would never forget that I was sitting next to him."
