Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover Chapter 1318

“Mr. Hayes, if you don't feel like going, I'll go.”

“No, it's okay.”

Sebastian straightaway refused.

He looked at the woman in the hospital room who was still fast asleep and stood still in thedoorway. His eyes were full of pain and sorrow at the mention of the child, but he still wasn't willingto let anyone else step in.

That very night, he left Jetroina and headed to Jadeborough.

Back at Oceanic Estate, Jonathan was still waiting for Sebastian even though his flight was onlyscheduled to land in the wee hours of the morning.

“He's back! Mr. Sebastian is back!"

“Really? Then go and set the table quickly with the soup we made earlier and the spaghetti, too. Hemust be starving after such a long flight.”

“Okay!”

The maids of Oceanic Estate didn't end up sleeping either.

They prepared a large, warm breakfast to welcome him when they heard he was landing early in themorning. In fact, they spent the whole night waiting for him.

When Devin fetched Sebastian back from the airport at about one or two in the morning, Sebastianwalked into the house to replace an old man with a cane waiting for him in the bright living room,standing in front of the fully set table.

The housemaids and butlers were standing next to the old man, welcoming him with open arms.“Look! Everyone's been waiting for your return. Now you know how much the people in OceanicEstate love you, huh?” Devin mocked in a slightly bitter tone.

Even he didn't get treated this way.

Sebastian pressed his lips together. He was at a loss for words, and all he could say was, “Thank you,everyone.”

Jonathan, Sebastian, and Devin sat around the table and ate for quite a long time that night.

“If that's the case, I think it might actually be a good thing. That child was forced upon this world,and if it knew it could save its mother, I'm sure it would be happy,” Jonathan advised after hearingabout everything.

After hearing that, Sebastian’s hand abruptly stopped with a fork in front of his mouth.

Happy?

"Yeah, Sebastian. Grandpa's right. Think about it: if the child manages to save Sasha, then once she’sbetter, she might be able to have another kid. Who knows, that child might even reincarnate intothat baby! Wouldn't that be great?” Devin said as a joke.

Sebastian didn't reply.

He felt as if something heavy had just been slammed against his heart.

After hearing about the buried child in Jetroina last afternoon, he hadn't relaxed since. However, atDevin and Jonathan's advice, he felt like a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

That's right. I should be thinking that way.

He shouldn't be drowning himself in remorse and regret, constantly blaming himself for forcing thatinnocent child into this world and not properly protecting both mother and child.

In reality, who could say that this wasn't a destined chance for redemption?

Sebastian finally slept well that night for the first time in a long time.

The next day, he woke up early and prepared to drive to Aquene Temple, but Jonathan suddenlyapproached him.

“Let's go together.”

Sebastian just stared at his grandfather, at a loss for words.

Devin finally pulled his attention back to reality. “After he knew about the incident, he’s never talkedto your father. I think it's time for them to meet.”

Sebastian still remained quiet, but he inwardly agreed.

In the end, Jonathan and Sebastian ended up going together.

The thousand-year-old temple looked even more beautiful after a few months of not having seen it.It was surrounded by lush greenery and was like a breath of fresh air.

Even though they had been destroyed, the trees had regrown and were full of life once more.

The streams, flowers, and even the little creatures that were in the forest were brimming with life aswell.

Sebastian drove for about two hours before finally arriving at the temple.

“Ah, you're here! I'll go and get Master right now.”

The young apprentice at the gate of the temple immediately ran off to get Shin at the sight ofSebastian.

Sebastian waited at the gates silently, but Jonathan felt anger rise in him at the sight of the temple.It had been more than thirty years, and he couldn't believe that that scumbag had simply beenhiding away here this whole time. His family was just a few hours’ drive away!

He hadn't shown his face even once in all that time.

“That scumbag!” Jonathan cursed

Sebastian was still silent.

He couldn't be bothered to care about their father-son drama.

He waited for the old monk to appear and said, “I'm here to retrieve that child's corpse. Sasha toldme you were the one who buried it, right?”

Shin was taken aback. “Yes. H-What happened?”

His usually calm expression was clearly ruffled.

He probably wasn't too excited by the prospect of digging up an already deceased child.

Jonathan jabbed his walking stick in his direction and said harshly, “Of course you wouldn't knowwhat happened! You've been hiding away here all these years. Do you even have the slightest ideaabout what happened back home?”

Both Shin and Sebastian fell into silence.

They both ended up not saying anything as Sebastian dragged Shin away to dig up the body.
