The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)
Chapter 1564

“Does that mean Duncan isn't Eddie's son? Is that what you're trying to say?” questioned Devin with widened eyes. I admit that I'm not as smart as Sebastian. That's why the thought never occurred to me. And it's not just me; Jonathan didn't notice anything strange with the matter either. But now that Sebastian's mentioned it...

“It's definitely possible. Eddie would never have put his own son in such a dangerous position. Duncan must've been brainwashed since he was a child. Devin, I need you to check the other children and see if they were also brainwashed.”

Shocked, Devin immediately took out his phone to call Jonathan.

Sasha had remained inside the room throughout the two's conversation. After Devin walked out, she hurried over to the seemingly exhausted Sebastian.

“You must be tired. Quickly, lie down. You should've listened to me and rested instead of worrying about these things so soon.”

Sasha then gently helped the man lie back down before taking a towel soaked in warm water to wipe the sweat off his forehead.

Sebastian was still quite weak. After being in a coma for three years, he was going to need some time to recover. Moreover, he had sustained permanent injuries from nuclear waves. Even though he had regained consciousness, he still required lengthy rehabilitation treatment.

After an acupuncture session, Sebastian fell deep into sleep until the following day.

“Mommy, Uncle Devin told me that Duncan was manipulated. Is that true?” lan asked his mother intently early in the morning.

There was a look in his eyes showing that he was eager to get some answers.

Sasha gently patted the boy on the head. “Be patient. You can ask your father that after he wakes up, okay?”

Left with no other choice, lan agreed to wait in the end.

Oddly enough, the boy didn't dare to stay too long around Sebastian ever since his father regained consciousness. As much as he wanted to see Sebastian awake again, he was afraid that his father would be upset with him for what he had done. What if he's disappointed with how useless I've been over the past three years?

lan paced back and forth anxiously as he waited for his father to wake up.

At nine o'clock, when the sunlight entered the room through the window, Ian finally saw his father's eyes open.

“Daddy, are you awake?” inquired lan nervously while approaching the man.

When Sebastian saw a tall and slender figure standing by his bedside, he gazed at the young man's face, almost identical to his own.

"Come. Help your old man get up,” requested Sebastian with a smile before extending his hand. Even though lan had yet to become a grown man, he had just enough strength to help his father sit up on the bed.

Sebastian could finally take a proper look at his son after three years.

Glad to see how much lan had grown, Sebastian patted the boy gently on the head.

“Is there something you need? I thought you left with your Uncle Devin.”

“No, it's just that... I want to apologize to you, Daddy. I did something stupid.”

Shortly after lowering his head, lan had tears bursting out of his eyes like a busted faucet, and they just kept coming.

Sebastian could tell how much pain lan was in because his son rarely cried like that.

For the first time, Sebastian put his arms around lan to embrace the boy, who could not stop crying on his lap. Even when lan was young, the two rarely shared intimate moments like that.

“I don't blame you, lan. Nobody goes through life without making mistakes. Even though they bring us pain and suffering, they're necessary for growth. We live and learn; that's just how the way it is.” “Really?” inquired lan, finally lifting his head to wipe off the tears.

Sebastian nodded with a gentle smile. “Take what happened to you as an example. Now that you know what it's like to be betrayed, you'll be more careful next time, won't you? I'm sure the experience has taught you a lesson you'll never forget. A very valuable one too, I might add.”

Like a lighthouse to a lost ship, Sebastian guided lan and helped the boy deal with the guilt. Sebastian had always been better at figuring out lan than Sasha or the two Jadesons, for he knew how much alike he and the boy were. I know what lan's going through right now. He just needs some guidance. That's all.q
