Chapter 196 Cutting Old Ties (Two)

• "Fuck!" Sebastian yelled angrily. Everything seemed to be going against him today, and he would be damned if he knew why. He angrily flung the phone away as far as he could, so that it landed against the asphalt with a satisfying crack, and then he got back into the car. He would make one quick stop and then he would rush back home to grovel at Carol's feet to beg her to forgive him for being such an idiot. Once she accepted his apology, which he had no doubt that she would do, he would ask her to marry him, properly this time around and with her father's blessing, and then they would raise their child together, maybe even have other children if Carol wanted them, and then they would grow old together.
• His child. The thought of it made him smile now that he had poured out his grief. He wondered if it would be a boy or a girl. It didn't matter, as either one was fine by him, but he had to admit that he would love to see a mini Carol, who maybe had his hair and eyes, but looked a lot like Carol. If only he could reach her, but there was no way to do that, not with his phone lying submerged inside water and dead. H couldn’t bear to think f how hurt she must be right now, after all the rubbish he had spewed at her.
• He started the car and made his way to the hospital where Jessica had been admitted overnight. She was still there, and she looked up in surprise when he entered the brightly lit hospital room, looking like a half-drowned rat. The rain was letting up a bit, but it was still falling.
