Chapter 4

Author: Sweet Beet
When Morgan opened her eyes again, the blinding white of the hospital room filled her vision.

Her fingers twitched slightly, instantly startling Sebastian awake.

Relief flooded his expression as he grasped her hand tightly. "Morgan, you’ve been unconscious for two whole days. Thank God you’re finally awake."

The memories of what happened before she passed out came rushing back.

She looked at the man in front of her—the same man who acted as if he cared for her deeply but had already betrayed her.

Morgan could see the affection in Sebastian’s eyes.

But if he still loved her, then why did he cheat?

Was it really just because of her face?

Yet when she first got disfigured, she suggested traveling abroad for full-face graft surgery.

Sebastian stopped her. "Morgan, the procedure is excruciating, and the risk of infection is too high. I can’t let you take that risk.

"Trust me, to me, you’ll always be the most beautiful."

He kissed every scar on her face with reverence, making her believe that he truly didn’t care about her appearance and loved her for who she was.

But now, the same man who once cherished her scars betrayed her, repulsed by the very face he once claimed to love.

Her voice was hoarse as she finally spoke. "Sebastian, you—"

Before she could finish, the hospital door swung open.

A nurse entered, wearing a mask. "Mr. Cole, it’s time for Mrs. Cole’s IV."

She tore open the sterile pack and inserted the needle into Morgan’s hand.

But it missed the vein entirely.

Morgan winced as the nurse pulled the bloodied needle out and tried again.

Pain shot through her hand, and within seconds, bruises spread across her skin.

Sebastian’s expression darkened as he strode forward, shoving the nurse away. "What’s your employee number? I’m filing a complaint!"

Tears welled in the nurse’s eyes as she looked up at him.

"Mr. Cole, I’m just an intern. I haven’t quite mastered the technique yet."

Sebastian froze before snapping, "So you think it’s okay to use my wife as practice? I’m reporting you right now. Come with me to the nurses’ station."

Grabbing her by the wrist, he dragged her out of the room.

But Morgan knew he wasn’t taking her to the nurses’ station because that "nurse" was none other than Luna in disguise.

Morgan quietly followed behind them.

Sebastian led Luna straight up to the rooftop.

"Who told you to come here?"

Luna unbuttoned her nurse’s uniform, revealing the lacy lingerie underneath, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Mr. Cole, you’ve been stuck at the hospital with your wife these past two days. I missed you."

Sebastian’s anger visibly diminished, his tone no longer as harsh.

"You still shouldn’t have disguised yourself as a nurse and stabbed her like that."

"You’re the one who said I needed to be bolder, didn’t you? I was just practicing!"

"Practicing on my wife? Are you out of your mind?"

Luna pouted, but excitement gleamed in her eyes.

"Alright, alright, I was wrong."

Her fingers trailed downward, teasing him. "Why don’t you punish me, then? Give me a shot instead?"

Sebastian lost the last shred of his restraint.

He grabbed Luna and pushed her against the wall.

Her whimpers echoed across the rooftop, growing louder with each passing second.

Morgan couldn’t watch anymore.

Her body felt numb as she turned and walked away.

Back in her hospital room, the real nurse arrived to administer her IV.

Morgan stared at the clear liquid dripping slowly into the tube, feeling as though her heart was being torn apart, piece by piece.

She had no idea how much time had passed when her phone rang.

It was Sally.

"Morgan, your reconstructive surgery has been scheduled. It’s set for ten days from now. You’ll need to arrive early for the pre-op tests."

Morgan was about to tell her that her visa would be ready in seven days.

But before she could respond, Sebastian’s voice cut through the silence.

"Who’s getting reconstructive surgery?"

    But would Sebastian really let her leave? After that conversation they had, Grace stopped speaking coldly to Morgan. In fact, there was even a hint of warmth in her tone now. Sebastian’s recovery had also gone well. Within half a month, he was already able to get out of bed and walk. At first, Morgan visited him at the hospital frequently, but as time went on, she only went every few days. Soon, the one-month deadline arrived, and Sebastian was close to full recovery. Morgan booked a flight to Haputa for the next day. That evening, Sebastian arrived at her home with bags of groceries, a bitter smile on his face. “Morgan, I’m here to send you off with a meal.” That was what he said, but deep down, he was hoping this dinner would make her stay. For the past month, he tried everything to win her back, yet nothing had worked. This was his last chance. Morgan could see his intentions but didn’t stop him. A year ago, they didn’t finish the farewell dinner she prepared

    Morgan was completely caught off guard by the sudden confession, momentarily at a loss for words."I… you…"Robert’s voice remained calm. "You don’t have to answer me now, and I’m not trying to pressure you. I just think confessions should be made in person, not through someone else."If you come back after a month, then tell me your answer, okay?""...Okay.""Good. Until then, let’s just stay as friends."After hanging up, Morgan got out of bed and freshened up.Not long after, she heard Grace’s sharp voice outside the room.The moment she arrived, Grace doted on her son endlessly, fussing over him as if he were on his deathbed.And when she learned Sebastian spent the entire night in pain without proper rest, she flew into a rage, threatening to raise hell with the doctors and nurses.Sebastian quickly intervened, stopping her before she caused a scene.The moment Grace noticed Morgan stepping out of the adjoining room, her expression soured."You slept peacefully while Sebastian was

    "Why not? You’re both single—sounds like a perfect match to me! And if you become my sister-in-law, there won’t be any family drama between us. “Plus, I’ll finally have an ally against my mom. It’s a win-win situation!"Sally was getting more excited by the second, practically wishing the two could get married on the spot.Morgan sighed. "Sally, stop joking around. There’s no way your brother would ever be interested in me."Robert had never dated anyone, but with his background, he could have any woman he wanted. There was no reason for him to be interested in someone like her—a divorced woman who was once disfigured.But Sally’s next words left her completely stunned."What do you mean, no way? My brother likes you!"Morgan blinked. "What did you just say?"Had she misheard?Since she had already started, Sally decided to spill everything. "It’s true! He keeps pictures of you saved on his phone—I saw them myself."I even told him to confess before you left, but he kept stalling, sa

    Morgan’s voice remained calm as she continued, "I once saved your life, and now you’ve saved mine. Sebastian, we owe each other nothing."Sebastian shook his head. "No, Morgan, I’ll never be able to repay what I owe you, not in this lifetime. Please… let me stay by your side, even if only to make amends.""But I don’t need your atonement, Sebastian."I’m doing fine now. My scars are gone. I’ve been happy in Haputa, surrounded by friends. If you force yourself to stay in my life, you’ll only bring me pain."Sebastian opened his mouth but hesitated.He knew letting go was the right thing to do—the only thing he should do.He felt like he was being torn apart at the thought of losing her forever and never being able to hold her again.After a long pause, he finally spoke. "One month. Just stay for one month. After that… if you still want to leave, I’ll personally see you off."Morgan looked at the man lying weak and battered in the hospital bed.In the end, she nodded.…That night, Sall

    "Miss Hayes, can you come to the hospital? Sebastian just woke up. He wants to see you.""I’ll be there soon."Morgan immediately got in a car and rushed back. By the time she arrived, it was already late into the night.The moment Grace saw her, she scowled. "Do you have any idea what time it is? You ungrateful wretch. Did you deliberately drag your feet just to make us wait?"Morgan had been traveling nonstop and was already on edge. She had no patience left for Grace’s attitude."Mrs. Cole, I don’t owe you or your family anything. If you can’t adjust your tone, then I see no reason to stay."Grace shot back, "You don’t owe us? Sebastian ended up like this because he saved you!"Morgan turned to her, her gaze sharp. "And do you know who was behind the wheel?"Grace snapped, "I don’t care who it was! Whoever hurt my son won’t get away with it!""It was the maid he cheated on me with a year ago," Morgan said flatly. "So, tell me, why did this happen? Because of the mess Sebastian c

    Morgan caught Grace’s wrist mid-air and forcefully shoved it aside. "I tolerated you out of respect because you were my elder. But now, we have nothing to do with each other. Don’t think you can throw your weight around like you’re still my mother-in-law." Grace’s face turned pale with fury. "Morgan Hayes, you heartless woman! My son nearly died saving you, and all you can think about is cutting ties with him? How can you be so heartless?" "He saved me because he wanted to. Whether he survives or not is up to fate." Morgan locked eyes with her. "That line sounds familiar, doesn’t it?" Back when she nearly died saving Sebastian, lying unconscious in the ICU, Grace said the exact same thing to Sebastian. Grace trembled with rage. "Fine, I said it. But Sebastian was always sincere with you! He married you despite all the backlash and disfigurement. He treated you like a queen!"He made a mistake that all men make! And what did you do? Disappear on him for a year, leaving him
