Sasha sweated profusely after performing the acupuncture in the hot spring for an hour. Finally,Sebastian furrowed his eyebrows and groaned.

“Daddy! Did you hear that, Mommy? Daddy just made a sound!” exclaimed lan excitedly.

“Yes, I did.” Sasha, as well as her son, was so glad to see Sebastian conscious again that they startedto tear up.

Still, Sasha continued to treat the man as lan hurriedly jumped into the hot spring to support hisfather.

Splash!

To their surprise, Sebastian instinctively withdrew his hand when Sasha tried to insert a needle intohis finger.

Tears started rolling down Sasha's cheeks after she saw how the man reacted to pain.

Like his mother, lan was so happy that his entire face was flushed. Daddy is finally awake!

Devin was just done with his business when he received the news, after which he quickly made hisway over.

As expected, when he reached the hot spring, Devin saw Sebastian slowly climbing out with somehelp before sitting down on a chair.

Covered with a towel, Sebastian had Sasha and lan at his side.

"Come here, Sasha.” After three years in a coma, the man could barely speak properly.

Even though he could only talk slowly in a hoarse voice, what mattered more was that he had finallyawakened. After seeing Sasha, the first thing Sebastian did was extend his hand to beckon her.

It had been a long time since Sasha heard the man call out to her, so naturally, her tears refused tostop falling.

For the past three years, Sasha wanted nothing more than to hear that voice again. So much so thatshe dreamed about it almost every night. Unfortunately, his unresponsiveness was the only thingthat greeted her every time she woke up.

Trembling, Sasha took quite a while before she could move her body to approach the man.

“I'm sorry.” He gently ran his finger over Sasha's cheek as he gazed at her haggard face and the fewstrands of white hair on the top.

Immediately, Sebastian could feel his heart aching for the sacrifice Sasha made for him. All her life,she's been suffering for me. It all started when she was just five years old. Now, it has been thirtyyears, but still, she continues to suffer because of me.

From the corner of the man’s eye, a drop of tear slowly rolled down.

“You don't have to apologize to me. We're one, remember? S-Seeing you awake again is all I can askfor. Just promise me that you'll take better care of yourself.” Sasha was so emotional that shechoked a little while speaking because she was just that delighted to be talking with Sebastianagain.

To Sasha, seeing the man conscious made everything she did worth it. Compared to the living hellshe was in after what happened three years ago, the things she had had to sacrifice for Sebastianwere nothing.

More than anything, Sasha was grateful that she had the skills and the chance to treat the man.Sebastian then wiped the tears off Sasha's face, and without saying another word, he wrapped hisarms tightly around her.

Being the sensible child that he was, lan decided to walk away and give his parents some timealone, for he knew his mother needed that.

However, as soon as lan stepped out, he bumped into Devin.

“Uncle Devin? You're here!"

"Yeah. So how's your father? Are you happy to see him finally awake?” Smiling, Devin reached out topat lan on the head.

"Yes, I am,” replied lan, lowering his head somewhat embarrassedly.

“Then you have to stop overthinking things. Duncan didn't lie about saving your father's life. Heprobably only did those seemingly unforgivable things because he had no other choice. Now thatyour father's finally awake again, I'm sure he'll figure out what happened,” explained Devin becausehe was aware of how much Duncan's betrayal had affected lan. I'm sure lan can replace it in his heart toforgive Duncan now that his father is conscious again. Even though Duncan's father and Sebastianwere enemies, the boy chose to save my friend anyway.

Eventually, the boy nodded in agreement and walked away with Devin afterward.

Having rested for two days, Sebastian was finally feeling better.

“Thank you.” That was the first thing Sebastian said when he saw Devin.

Relieved to see that colors had started to return to his friend's face, Devin let out a long sigh.“Don’t mention it. After all, we're family, right?”

"Yes, we are. So how are things right now? I heard that Eddie's son was involved?”

Devin nodded in response, not at all surprised that his friend brought the topic up.

"Yes. His name is Duncan, and he used lan to gain access to the military base. Luckily, we figured outwhat he was up to in time. After being sent to prison, he ingested poison and ended his own life.”Upon hearing that, Sebastian raised an eyebrow curiously.

“That's impossible. If that boy really is Eddie's son, there's no way they're just going to let him takehis own life. I was unconscious, so what's stopping them from doing anything about it?” blurted theman sitting on his bed, not yet fully recovered.

Immediately, Devin froze like a statue.q
