Chapter 267: [Bonus - ] What if
Heaven stayed with Sebastian until she was a little calmer. Of course, the little master had questions that she answered as honestly as she could. Although his questions were mostly about her feelings and if she was feeling better.
Heaven distracted herself with her son, helping him with his homework, and even telling him stories about her ’spy’ life. Sebastian had grown eager to know about his mother’s previous job, after all. So, somehow, she went along with it just so he would feel reassured that if someone bullied him again, he got a superhero as a mother.
Superhero... more like a supervillain.
Dominic also didn’t come home on time. Although he already messaged her that he would be a little late. Heaven and Sebastian were together all night until her son fell asleep past his bedtime.
Left all alone without a husband to distract her, Heaven went to clear her mind in the sauna. Her body was wrapped in a towel, sitting listlessly with her eyes devoid of life.
[It was a car accident. It was pouring hard, and the road was slippery. She was in labor and she was all alone. She had to drive herself while in labor, in the middle of the night, and under the pouring rain. She eventually reached her destination, but unfortunately, not the way I hoped for.]
[Before my previous employer’s death, I thought I had already accepted her fate. However, when I held her stiff and cold hands, I was wrong.]
[I... couldn’t accept it. I fell into a despicable loop of drinking and wasting away, hoping to die and follow her.]
[I thought I could do better, considering I witnessed more deaths that took away my freedom to sleep. But I was wrong. Losing another loved one didn’t feel easier.]
[People always have regrets, and that will be mine. Forever.]
Ever since stepping foot in the sauna, her mind was just filled with Bear’s remarks. She couldn’t think of anything else, no matter how much she distracted herself. Thus, she accepted these words would linger in her mind until she faced them.
