Hunter Warren gave him a nonchalant look: "I don’t care." "Damn, you guys are a cruel couple, burning bridges after crossing them." Faye Townsend chuckled quietly, while Hunter Warren couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to him. At that moment, a clamor came from the corridor outside. Roman Hughes stood up and went to open the door to check. As soon as the door opened, a heart-wrenching cry followed. He looked towards the end of the corridor on the left, where chaos had erupted. After seeing the situation there, Roman Hughes exclaimed in shock: "Goodness, Hunter, come here quick." Hunter Warren looked up: "What happened?" "It’s Lucas Warren, he’s fighting Sebastian Sheldon in the corridor." Hearing Roman say this, Hunter Warren exchanged a glance with Faye Townsend and walked towards the door. Faye Townsend also got out of bed and walked to the door. The three of them stood at the door looking in that direction. By now, Lucas Warren and Sebastian Sheldon were surrounded by medical staff and onlookers, making it hard to see what was happening. Only Sebastian Sheldon’s heart-wrenching screams could faintly be heard. "How on earth did you find this place? I’m begging you, stop coming after me. What do I have to do for you to let me go, to disappear from my world?" Lucas Warren stepped forward, grabbing her collar: "Let you go? Haven’t I already said it’s impossible? Your mission is not yet finished, so you have to bear with it no matter what. If you really don’t want to see me, finish what you need to do quickly." Sebastian Sheldon pushed him away forcefully and ran towards the outside of the crowd. Lucas Warren watched her flee with a cold laugh, unconcerned about the eyes of the crowd. She seems never to tire of this drama. Could he really be hoping to escape from here? He followed her without a sound. Sebastian Sheldon was running barefoot, and when she saw the three people outside Faye Townsend’s ward, her pace involuntarily slowed down a bit. But seeing Lucas Warren catching up, she had to ignore Faye Townsend and the others and continued to run. However, right by the nurses’ station, Lucas Warren still managed to grab her collar. He pushed her against the wall forcefully, and Sebastian Sheldon slammed into the wall, wincing in pain as she crouched down on the floor. She looked up at Lucas Warren in terror: "I want a divorce from you." Lucas Warren raised his hand and slapped the back of her head: "Divorce? You’ve got quite the nerve. I haven’t mentioned it, and you dare to?" Sebastian Sheldon shrank against the wall, letting Lucas Warren beat her, and Faye Townsend watched with trepidation. So this was the life Sebastian Sheldon led. Those who have never experienced this kind of life probably have no idea how painful it is. Although she didn’t like Sebastian Sheldon and didn’t get along with her, at this moment, Sebastian Sheldon indeed looked pitiable. The feeling of being beaten by her own husband like this yet unable to escape must be incredibly devastating. The onlookers had already come over, with some starting to criticize Lucas Warren, though they dared not do so openly. After all, in this day and age, not many people are brave enough to step in to help when they witness injustice. Minding their own business and hanging up high is the attitude of most people. Roman Hughes turned his head towards Hunter Warren: "What do we do, Hunter, do we intervene?" Hunter Warren hesitated for a moment, then looked at Faye Townsend. Faye Townsend looked into his eyes, knowing that anyone with a conscience would want to help in such a situation, it’s just a matter of whether they dare to or not. And Hunter Warren would surely dare, but he might be worried that she might overthink it. Faye Townsend pursed her lips and took the initiative to step out of the ward towards Lucas Warren and Sebastian Sheldon. As Lucas Warren was about to hit Sebastian Sheldon again, Faye Townsend shouted angrily: "Stop!" Hunter Warren and Roman Hughes exchanged a glance, Roman giving him a nod, suggesting that it was better for Faye Townsend to step in than for them. Faye Townsend walked up to Lucas Warren and pushed him away: "You’re really something, a man beating his own wife in the street. Never mind anything else, just for that, you deserve the contempt of women all over the world." Lucas Warren’s eyes shifted, and when they landed on her, they were no longer filled with the deep malice from before. "So are you speaking up for her now? Do you know what she has done to you?" he said, his tone flippant. "I don’t need to know what insignificant things someone has done to me. All I know is that hitting people is wrong. Lucas Warren, you’d better stop now, or I’ll have to call the police. You should know, in Eldoria domestic violence is prohibited. There are so many here who can testify for her, this won’t look good for you." Lucas Warren sneered, inching closer to Faye Townsend slightly. As Hunter Warren was about to step forward, Roman Hughes held him back. "Let’s wait and see. This is my family’s hospital, I won’t let Faye Townsend suffer here. But the other party is Lucas Warren, and if his identity gets exposed later, the media will definitely portray the relationship between you brothers in an ugly light. It would be bad if such a trivial matter affected the interests of your company." Hunter Warren’s brows lifted slightly, finding rationale in those words. Lucas Warren whispered in Faye Townsend’s ear: "You really... can’t tell right from wrong." Then he walked away from her side to confront Sebastian Sheldon: "It’s truly a pity that you didn’t pursue acting all those years ago. This time, for Faye’s sake, I’ll let you off. But you better behave yourself from now on, otherwise... I’ll truly show you no mercy." Having said that, he turned and left with a cold snort, not caring in the least whether the crowd took photos or uploaded them to the internet to incite condemnation. Faye Townsend lowered her head to look at Sebastian Sheldon, who was still sitting there, sensing his current embarrassment. So, without saying a word, she stepped forward and left him behind, returning to the hospital ward. Hunter Warren raised an eyebrow, exchanged a look with Roman Hughes, and accompanied Faye inside. Roman Hughes, understanding the situation, nodded and after the two entered, he stepped forward to help Sebastian Sheldon up: "Are you alright?" Sebastian Sheldon’s face, now downturned, was streaked with tears. Roman Hughes sighed, "I’ll take you back to the ward." With Roman’s assistance, Sebastian Sheldon stopped when they reached the door of Faye’s ward. After wiping away her tears, she pushed open the door and looked at Faye, who was now sitting beside the bed: "Thank you." Faye’s gaze was calm as she looked back: "Even if it had been another woman getting beaten today, I would have intervened. Moreover, I probably would have done so the moment I realized what was happening. I didn’t act because you are Sebastian Sheldon; you don’t need to thank me." Sebastian Sheldon bit her lip, her hands tightly clutching her hospital pants: "Whoever helped me today, I would thank them. My gratitude towards you isn’t because you are Faye Townsend." Faye scoffed and didn’t respond. Hunter Warren patted her shoulder and turned to Sebastian Sheldon: "Faye accepts your thanks. She indeed did a good deed today, now you should also go back and rest." Sebastian Sheldon’s eyes lingered on Hunter Warren for a long time, unable to shift away even the slightest. With a pat from Roman Hughes, she then left with him. Back in the ward, Roman Hughes asked with concern: "Sebastian Sheldon, why did you manipulate me?" Sebastian Sheldon turned to look at him: "Manipulate? Roman, I don’t know what you’re talking about." "Ha, I think you’re quite clear in your heart. Sebastian Sheldon, I know everything, there’s no need to hide it anymore. When I met you in the United Kingdom, you were a victim of domestic abuse, but as it turns out, that hospital has no record of your visits to the Bone Department. Also, I’ve carefully reviewed your X-rays this time, and your arm doesn’t have any signs of old injuries." Sebastian Sheldon frowned: "I never said I was abused at home." "True, you never said that, but the X-ray you showed me last time clearly indicated you were a victim of domestic violence. That’s why I say you were using me. Sebastian Sheldon, I wholeheartedly helped you, but you treated me as an excuse to return to Eldoria. Do you think that’s right? Because of you, how do I look in front of Hunter and Faye? Hunter is my best buddy, do you know your tactics are really despicable?" Sebastian Sheldon bit her lip: "I did deceive you, but... it wasn’t to find an excuse to return to Eldoria." As she raised her eyes to him, they were blurred with tears: "I just wanted to give myself an excuse to have the courage to escape from Lucas’s side. Roman, I didn’t use you, I just... wanted to live. Is wanting to survive a sin?" Seeing Sebastian Sheldon’s pitiable state, Roman Hughes felt uncertain. If a woman wasn’t driven to desperation, how could she have ended up in such a situation? "Alright, even if you used my words initially as courage to come back. No matter what, now that you are back. I hope some methods can be put to rest. I’ve heard that you sought out Hunter and Faye, and you have made your intentions very clear. Honestly, Hunter and Faye are doing very well right now. All of it is thanks to Faye, she brought Hunter the happiness he desires. So, Sebastian Sheldon, I advise you to cherish what you have." Sebastian Sheldon bit her lip and closed her eyes, starting to cry: "Back then, when Faye intervened in my relationship with Hunter, why didn’t any of you come forward to advise her to cherish what she was doing. If Faye hadn’t taken away my happiness back then, I wouldn’t be like this now." "Fate is like that sometimes. Whoever ends up together is predestined. You had fate with Hunter but not destiny, no one can help you with that. Why do I stop you now? It’s simple, I’ve never seen Hunter so happy, not even when he was with you. He was always aloof. But now it’s different; he seems like a normal person, full of life and emotions. This is the happiest state Hunter could be in, and if your presence were to affect his happiness, I, a good buddy, naturally cannot ignore it. And to put it harshly, Faye has always been the unpredictable factor by Hunter’s side. Of all the women in this world, only she can change Hunter." Sebastian Sheldon sniffled and lowered her head, starting to cry. Roman Hughes was taken aback: "Hey... why are you crying? I didn’t... really say much." "It’s too much, why does the whole world have to treat me like this.
