“N-Nothing… I hurt myself by accident on the way back, that’s all!” Sasha stammered in response to his sudden glare.

Since she refused to tell him the truth, he chose not to press her for answers and led her into the bedroom after taking a quick glance at her hand.

“You messed up the bandages. I’ll re-do it for you.”

“Okay,” Sasha agreed immediately when she saw that he had stopped pressuring her for an explanation.

“What did Alfred tell you when you saw him at the White House earlier, Sebby? I heard Old Mr. Jadeson went over too. Did something happen?” she asked while holding out her hand.

“No, don’t worry about it,” Sebastian calmly reassured her and kept his head low as he focused on wrapping her hand up.

Sasha felt relieved when she heard that.

“What did he tell you, then?”
