Chapter 476 The Cause

• Sebastian realized that he was the reason Jocelyn had a miscarriage. He felt as if he was falling apart when he realized they had lost the child only because he hadn’t been careful and controlled enough with his sexual desires and acts. It’s all my fault. I realized that she had been moody and odd since the afternoon, but what did I do about that? Nothing. If only I had managed to rush home when I realized that something was off; if I had managed to bring her to the hospital earlier, then things might have turned out differently. It’s a shame that… what’s done is done. Life is all about outcomes and consequences; all the regret, self-hatred, and guilt that I feel will do nothing to benefit the situation.
• I can still imagine how devastated Jocelyn must have felt when she wailed through the phone. I hate that I wasn’t with her then—I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forgive myself for that. Sebastian reached a trembling hand over to hold onto Jocelyn’s hand as he recalled what had happened earlier. “My wife is… going to be okay, right?” he asked the doctor after a while.
• The doctor seemed rather stunned by this question. Sebastian was widely known for being distant and unexpressive—he was the powerful and overbearing president. Why doesn’t he act anything like the rumors that I’ve heard about him? the doctor wondered. After some thought, she finally parted her lips to reply to his question. “Don’t worry, Mr. Davis. She will just have to get a lot of rest after the surgery—that will make it easier for her to get pregnant again in the future.”
