Chapter 20
Sebastian had a dream.
In the dream, the backyard of the charity gala was bathed in perfect sunlight.
He did not make that phone call, but stood under the tree, watching as the girl in a white dress carefully placed the bird’s nest back on the treetop.
She jumped lightly down, dusted off the dirt on her skirt, and as she looked up, she ran into his
gaze.
He stepped forward, his voice low and gentle: “Hello, my name is Sebastian, I would like to get to know you.”
The girl blinked her eyes and raised her chin proudly, “Oh? Why?”
“Because you are good–looking, he chuckled.”
She hummed, but her ears turned red quietly: “Since you like me so much, I’ll reluctantly give you the chance to get to know me.”
He
suppressed a smile and thought she was incredibly cute.

The story in the dream unfolded naturally.
He pursued her, and she reluctantly agreed with a touch of arrogance. During their courtship, he spoiled her to the heavens, and she nestled in his arms, acting cute and spoiled. Finally, they walked down the

aisle and exchanged rings in the blessings of everyone.
He lowered his head and kissed her, she blushed and whispered, “Sebastian, you have to be good to me for a lifetime.”
“Okay, he smiled and agreed, “for a lifetime.‘

“Mr. Malfoy? Mr. Malfoy?”
The doctor’s call pulled him out of his dream abruptly.
Sebastian suddenly opened his eyes and saw the snow–white ceiling above him. The intense pain in his back and chest reminded him of reality.
There was no wedding, no love, only a devastating wreckage of hurt.
“Where is Ms. Rowland? he asked hoarsely.”
“In the garden, the doctor replied.‘
Ignoring the obstacles, Sebastian forced himself out of bed and staggered towards the garden.
The sunlight spilled into the flower bushes as Elodie stood there, lightly touching a rose with her fingertips, her profile stunningly beautiful in the light.
He was about to step forward when he heard her chuckle lightly at her phone.
“Well, I miss you too.”
Sebastian’s blood froze instantly.

Her tone was tinged with a hint of shyness and coquetry, a softness he had never heard before.
“Husband, she called softly.”
These two words stabbed into Sebastian’s heart like knives!
He rushed over suddenly and grabbed her wrist, “What are you doing?!”
Elodie was startled, but quickly regained her composure and raised an eyebrow at him, “What’s wrong with calling my husband?”
“Do not call him husband! His voice was hoarse, with a hint of redness in his eyes.”
“I insisted on calling, Elodie sneered, “Husband, husband, husband—“”
Every time she shouted, Sebastian’s face turned a shade paler.
In the end, he ended up with red eyes and a trembling voice, saying,
..Lodie, don’t treat me like this.”
Elodie was stunned.
She had never seen a Sebastian like this before.
Humble, painful, as if all pride had been shattered by her own hands.
“It’s all karma… He tugged at the corners of his mouth, smiling in a way that was even uglier than crying. “You can kill me, but just don’t treat me like this.“”
Elodie’s throat tightened, before she could speak, Sebastian had already calmed himself down and whispered, “I’m sorry I didn’t accompany you last night.”

He paused and took her hand, “I have prepared a surprise for you today.”

Night fell.
Sebastian took her to an outdoor terrace.
Elodie thought it was just a performance until the host’s excited voice rang out.
“Tonight’s special program! Mr. Sebastian battles Tibetan Mastiff ‘Black Demon‘!”
Elodie suddenly stood up and exclaimed, “Are you crazy?!”
Sebastian just smiled gently, “The injuries you suffered back then, I will repay you a hundredfold.”
The iron cage opened, and the massive Tibetan Mastiff roared as it charged out!
Sebastian rushed forward empty–handed and was instantly tackled to the ground!!
“Sebastian! Elodie exclaimed.”
The sharp teeth of the Tibetan Mastiff tore into his arm, blood gushing out. Sebastian grunted, but then landed a punch on the Tibetan Mastiff’s eye!
There was a gasp on the field!
The fight was so intense that it was suffocating, every bite from the Tibetan Mastiff carried a deadly threat, Sebastian was covered in

blood, but he never backed down.
Finally, he grabbed the Tibetan Mastiff by the throat with his bare hands and, to the horror of everyone present, strangled it to death.
The whole place fell silent.
Sebastian staggered to his feet, covered in blood and flesh, yet he still managed to walk step by step to Elodie. Then, he smiled and half–knelt in front of her, as if in a submissive manner.
“I was bitten ten times. He looked up at her, his voice hoarse, “Tenfold repayment.“”
“Lodie, can you forgive me like this?”
Elodie’s fingertips trembled. “You are truly insane…”
Sebastian, however, laughed.
He held her hand, pressed it against his blood–stained face, his eyes both paranoid and gentle: “I am crazy, I have been crazy for a long time.”
“Lodie, only you… can cure me.”
