Upon hearing that, Edmund had no interest in furthering the conversation. He stood up and began
walking out.
“Where are you going?”
“Back to the mountain. Since you refused my offer, there’s no need for me to stay here.” Edmund
sounded firm in his decision.
He was not afraid about causing trouble.
Even though he might be playful and casual at times, he could be absolutely stubborn once he made
up his mind.
Eventually, those men gave in.
Despite feeling enraged, they sent him out of the military base and directly to The Fourth Hospital.
With that, Sebastian had his first visitor six days after being sent there.
“Sebastian?”
Edmund’s heart skipped a beat when he saw Sebastian.
Sebastian was his best friend’s brother.
But at the same time, the former was his father’s murderer.
Edmund strode over slowly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe was startled to see a man whose face was utterly pale and his gaze lifeless.
Edmund was dumbfounded.
Has he really gone crazy?
Edmund’s face fell. All his earlier hatred and rage for his father’s death instantly turned into worry and
anxiousness.
“Has he… really gone crazy?”
The staff who sent Edmund here gloated sarcastically, “Of course. That’s why he got sent here.”
Edmund fell into a deep silence.
What should we do if that’s true? The entire Jadeson family is counting on him now. Without him, the
whole game would be over.
Edmund stood outside the ward with a troubled look.
But a while after the staff left, a hoarse voice suddenly rang out from the ward. “Did you bring it?”
Edmund’s head snapped up upon hearing that.
“You… are not crazy.” He stared at Sebastian’s clear eyes in disbelief.
Sebastian stared back at him with a frown.
Is he an idiot? Well, what am I expecting? He’s Benedict’s son, after all.
Sebastian stretched his hand out of the ward impatiently. “Give it to me now!”
Edmund lowered his head and noticed Sebastian’s wrist was full of needle holes. Some parts of it were
even bruised.
“You—”
“Cut the crap. All you have to do now is go back to the mountain and stay low. Remember, don’t let
anyone discover your identity. Keep in mind that the mountain is under surveillance as well.”
Sebastian had no intention to explain the details to him.
After all, he did not expect to have a comfortable life after being sent here. As long as he could still
breathe, nothing else mattered.
Edmund was taken aback for a while.
The next moment, he touched the back of his ear and took out a metal-like thing from a tiny wound that
had just been stitched up.
“This is what you want. However, Devin wants me to warn you. After you implant it, you will experience
great pain because you didn’t grow up with the Jadesons. It’s better to implant it when one’s still a kid.”
“I got it.”
Sebastian took it over emotionlessly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEdmund cast a final glance at him and was about to leave.
“By the way, I should apologize to you for your dad, but only because he was your dad. In terms of
justice and the law, he deserved it!”
Surprisingly, Sebastian apologized to Edmund.
With that, Edmund froze on the spot.
I knew my dad deserved to be dead. I knew it all along. But he’s my dad, and there was nothing I could
do about it. The only thing I could do was keep my distance from his crimes. That’s why I went to
Yorksland. And that’s why even though I know the Jadesons caused his death, I still choose to help
them.
Edmund lowered his eyes. “You don’t have to apologize to me. I knew what he did. Even if you didn’t
kill him, someone else would do it eventually.”
For a moment, all Sebastian could do was stare at Edmund.
He was somewhat surprised that the latter did not blame him at all.
With that, Edmund left the place.
Half an hour later, there was a fuss inside the ward. The sounds of the bed being smashed and the
chair being thrown could be heard clearly. Upon receiving news of that, Grayson rushed to the scene
immediately.
That night, Sebastian had an extremely high fever, so high that his body spasmed and seized.
Grayson stayed by his bed for the whole night, not daring to relax for a second.
