“How did Mommy end up like this?”

Matteo was shocked as he stared at his stranger of a mother.

Ian merely stayed silent.

It was obvious he was upset from the frown on his face.

Soon, Karl asked, “How are things on your side? Is Mr. Hayes fine?”

Sadness filled Sasha’s eyes at Karl’s inquiry.

“He’s not doing so good. It was like a switch in him had flipped. He wasn’t the Sebastian we knew anymore. I had Vivian come for a visit, hoping to awaken some of his memories to suppress his urge to kill.”

“Urge to kill?” Karl’s face paled at her words. “You mean Mr. Hayes has killed many?”

“Yes, he had already killed three of the Jadesons. In order to kill Charles, he induced a huge disturbance in the military base a few days ago. It almost tipped the federal’s political scene. Charles was beyond furious at him. If it wasn’t for me arriving in the nick of time, Sebastian might have been shot dead by him.”

Sasha didn’t keep any secrets from him and blurt out everything that happened.

Her heart was heavy with worry and lingering fears as she reiterated the happenings.

What would have happened if I were late by a second that day?

She didn’t dare to think of the consequences.

Karl’s face darkened.
