The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Only Sebastian kept silent the whole time.

Sitting on the sofa, he looked so gloomy that nobody dared to approach him.He stared straight at Natalie, and nobody knew what he was thinking.

“Sebastian, what‘s on your mind?”

Natalie looked at her gloomy husband questioningly.

Sebastian was sitting quietly on the sofa with furrowed brows and a deep–set frown.

“Anything wrong?”

Natalie pursed her lips worriedly.

“Nothing.It‘s just work.I rushed here straight from work when I heard you were in the hospital,” Sebastian answered perfunctorily.

“You should go back then.I’ll be fine here.”Natalie smiled.

Just then, the door to the ward swung open.

“Natalie! Are you feeling better?”

Garrett strode in with several bags of tonics.

Seeing so many people in the ward, he stopped in his tracks and said sorry.

Bearing gifts, he walked over to Sebastian on the sofa.

Garrett‘s sharp eyes picked up on Sebastian‘s gloominess instantly.He lowered his voice and asked, “What‘s wrong?”

I was in bed, and then looked back at Sebastian.

“Natalie‘s fine.What‘s with the long face?” Sebastian didn‘t answer.

His cold eyes swept across the people in the ward.

In a low voice, he said to Garret, “Let‘s talk outside.”As he spoke, he stood up and headed for the door.

Once outside, he took out his phone and called Frank “You haven‘t contacted me in months.I thought you‘ve forgotten all about me.”

Frank‘s tone was flat and blunt.

Perhaps he was still angry that Garrett and Sebastian hadn‘t called him since they moved to Barnes.

“I‘ll ask my assistant to book you a flight.I need you to come to Barnes right away.”

Without saying anything more, he hung up before Frank could respond.Overhearing Sebastian‘s conversation just now, Garrett realized the gravity of the situation.

“Is Natalie sick?”

“No.” Sebastian shook his head.His eyes were as dark and cloudy as the night sky.

“The murderer from twenty years ago has resurfaced.”

After saying that, he went back to the ward and gave some instructions to the attending medical staff.

“Please draw some of her blood and save it for testing.”

Everyone looked at Sebastian in confusion.

Natalie also frowned and asked, “Why? What‘s wrong?”

Sebastian didn‘t go into any details.He simply walked over to her bedside and stroked her hair gently.

“There‘s something I just want to check.”

*******

Frank landed in Bames around midnight, and Sebastian came to pick him up personally.

“What‘s up? You sounded really serious on the phone earlier,”Frank asked.Sebastian handed Natalie‘s blood sample to him and said, “Check if there‘s anything suspicious.can get you any test equipment you need.”

Frank took the blood sample, confused, but didn‘t ask more questions.

A few days later, Frank called Sebastian with the results.His voice sounded surprised.

“Whose blood did you give me? There are trace amounts of poison in it.Whoever owns this blood was poisoned.”

When Sebastian received Frank‘s phone call, he was at home with Natalie.

When he heard what Frank had to say, his expression hardened.

“Wait,” he said to Frank in a low voice.

Ever since Natalie was discharged from the hospital, she had been given a short holiday so that she could properly recuperate at home.

Natalie didn‘t think there was anything seriously wrong with her.

Still, she was glad to have some time off to keep Sebastian company.

“Stay put in bed, honey,” Sebastian said to Natalie gently.

“I‘ll be right back.”

After tucking her in, Sebastian stood up and left the room, making sure to close the door behind him.He went downstairs and continued his conversation with Frank on the phone.

“What kind of poison are we talking about?”

“It’s a very dangerous and rare kind of poison that can cause heart palpitation, which later leads to a sudden cardiac arrest,”

Frank answered seriously.

“It takes time for it to take effect, with an incubation period of around one or two days once it enters the human body.”Sebastian‘s expression darkened.Frank didn‘t know what was on his mind because Sebastian kept silent.“Who owns the blood?” Frank asked again.

“If it‘s someone close to you, you‘d better have a few more tests done.If the poison is still in their system, their life may still be in danger.”

“Keep the sample and the test results safe,” Sebastian said in a dangerously low voice.

Frank didn‘t ask any more questions.

Judging from Sebastian‘s slightly trembling voice, he realized the gravity of the situation and fell silent.He hadn‘t seen Sebastian like this in a long time.

Sebastian hung up the phone without another word.

Just then, he heard footsteps coming from the stairs.Natalie came downstairs wrapped in a blanket.

Just now, she saw how Sebastian‘s expression changed after receiving the phone call.She was a little worried, so she came out to check on him.

After hanging up, Sebastian stood there motionlessly, his eyes as dark as night.

Natalie looked at him worriedly, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

“Honey, what‘s wrong?” she asked with concern.

Just now, she had heard the word “poison” from Sebastian‘s mouth.

Sebastian‘s eyes widened as he slowly looked up at Natalie by the stairs.He put on a faint smile and calmly walked over to her.He wrapped the blanket around her more tightly and said in a gentle voice, “Let‘s go to the hospital later so that they can run more tests.”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“But I‘m perfectly healthy,” Natalie protested.

“Can you tell me what‘s going on? Why‘d you ask the doctor to take my blood sample?” Sebastian looked at her and sighed.

“I asked Frank to run tests on your blood.My mother died from a sudden cardiac arrest, and she had no prior history of heart disease.Before she died, she told me to be wary of Elissa.At the time, we were regarded as Elissa‘s enemies.Although I was young back then, even I knew that she wanted to have me and my mother killed.One day, my mother was working outside whenmy neighbor suddenly rushed in to tell me that she had died on the street.The forensic experts and police did not find anything suspicious about her death and chalked it up to natural causes.”

“Do you think Elissa was behind your mother‘s sudden death?” Sebastian nodded grimly.

“Yes.I‘ve been secretly investigating the truth about my mother‘s death all these years.So when I heard what the doctor said about your condition, i suspected that someone was trying to murder you and immediately called Frank over to have him test your blood.Sure enough, he told me that you had been poisoned.”

His tone grew more and more grave.

“All these years, I had done everything in my power to find out how Elissa had my mother killed, but I never came close.I didn‘t expect that someone had poisoned her to cause her sudden cardiac arrest.Nor did I expect that Elissa would try to do the exact same thing again after so many years.”

Even in her wildest dreams, Natalie had never expected to find out that Elissa was so cruel and merciless.
