Sasha saw Kurt and shouted from upstairs, “Kurt, over here! Uncle Sebastian wants to see you.”Kurt was at a loss for words.

Usually, Kurt wouldn't be afraid in the face of enemies with weapons. However, he couldn't help butfeel his heart racing in fear once he looked up at Sasha.

In the end, Kurt had no choice but to go upstairs with a sigh.

“Is that Kurt? Come in.”

Kurt heard the imposing voice as soon as he arrived outside the room.

He couldn't help but gulp nervously before entering the room.

“Uncle Sebastian...”

"Have a seat.”

Sebastian wore a beige sweater and sat in the wheelchair. He looked a lot better after getting somerest in the Oceanic Estate for two days. As the sunlight poured into the room via the window, Kurtcould see Sebastian's handsome face.

After a while, Kurt sat down cautiously.

At that moment, Kurt was afraid to look into Sebastian's eyes, for he had no idea what Karl had toldSebastian. Will Uncle Sebastian think that I've been slacking in work and scold me sternly?

Despite that, Kurt was happy to see that Sebastian looked a lot better in the wheelchair. After all, thelatter had been lying still on the bed when he visited in the past.

“Throughout these years, I was sick and couldn't take care of the family. I thank you for sharing myburden at such a young age.”

“D-Don't mention it. I-It's what I should do anyway..."

Kurt stammered because he didn't expect Sebastian would suddenly thank him.

Sebastian was probably the only person in the world who could make Kurt feel nervous.

Sebastian gave Kurt a look of approval and smiled.

The next moment, Sebastian took out a document from a folder and read it quietly before Kurt.“Well, your result is not bad! Are you going to take the college entrance exam soon? Whichuniversity do you prefer?”

“What?”

Kurt was a little confused about what was going on.

“I... I haven't thought about it.”

"How about Atlantius University?” Sebastian suggested casually.

Atlantius?

Suddenly, Kurt looked up at Sebastian, and his eyes widened in shock.

Is Uncle Sebastian kidding me? This university is renowned throughout the world.

Besides, the university is located in Yartran and is two hours’ drive from the city of Royal Academy.What does he mean by that?

Unknowingly, Kurt's breaths quickened.

“Uncle Sebastian, I don't wish to study overseas. Instead, I only wish to stay here.”

"Why not? Isn't it good to go overseas? Besides, the university is near Vivian's. Since yourresponsibility is to protect her, isn't it more convenient if you can study there?” Sebastian saidstraightforwardly.

Deep down, Sebastian always believed that Kurt could protect Vivian well.

Although Kurt and Vivian quarreled, Sebastian thought it wasn't a big deal, for they wouldeventually reconcile.

Unexpectedly, Kurt lowered his head dejectedly once he heard Sebastian's suggestion. At thatmoment, Sebastian saw the grim expression on Kurt's face, which didn't match his young age.“Uncle Sebastian, I'm about to discuss it with you. Can I get another task?”

“What?” Sebastian was shocked.

"Why do you want to change your task? Isn't it good enough? Didn't you insist on protecting Vivianin the past? Why would you want to change it three years later?”

At that moment, the 15-year-old teenager almost wanted to pour out his feelings before Sebastian,who always treated him like his father.

It's because your daughter doesn't like it.

I don't want to see her in a bad mood every day. She always thinks that I'm only there to protecther.

Kurt clutched his fist as he was deep in thought.

In the end, Kurt, known to be a young man of few words, said briefly, “I want to study.”

Sebastian asked, “Study?”

Kurt nodded in response. “I wish to study at the University of Technology. Uncle Sebastian, youpromised me that you wouldn't stop me from making my choice.”

Meanwhile, Sebastian was rendered speechless.

Kurt was smart enough to stop Sebastian from saying no with his words.

Left with no choice, Sebastian had to agree to it.

“In that case, let's discuss again after you've finished taking the college entrance exam. I still need torest since I've just woken up. As such, I'll take some time off in Miralaea. We'll make thearrangement afterward. Is that okay?”

“Sure...” Kurt nodded.

Initially, Kurt thought he would be happy after having the conversation with Sebastian.

However, Kurt's heart skipped a beat once he stepped out of the room.

It was like someone pierced through Kurt's heart and took out something that didn't belong to him.He stood still for quite some time before regaining his energy to go downstairs.

“Kurt, did Uncle Sebastian and Ms. Sasha scold you? Are you alright?” Lucy came over and askedKurt worriedly when she saw that he looked grim.

Nonetheless, Kurt left the Oceanic Estate soon without saying anything.

The next day, Sebastian and Sasha took the flight to Miralaea.

Also, Kurt disappeared once again.q
