The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)
Chapter 1625

That night, Kurt brought Vivian safely back to the villa.

At the same time, Karl had also shown up. Karl had managed to rescue Sam from his hypnosis andbrought the latter back. Once they reached the villa, they quickly notified Sebastion of the incident.“Where is she?”

When Sebastian heard how Daphne almost killed his daughter, a murderous look flitted across hisgaze.

"Kurt let her go unscathed... S-She brought up his family and used it to bargain for her life,” Karlexplained hastily.

Before Sebastian could respond, the door to the room flung open as a young man walked in.

“Mr. Hayes, I'm so sorry.” Kurt made his way in front of the computer and fell to his knees. “It wasdue to my selfishness that I let her escape. This matter is wholly unrelated to Mr. Frost. Pleasepunish me instead of him!"

When Sebastian saw the scene, he was so livid that the veins across his forehead bulged out.Truthfully, he would never spare anyone who harmed Vivian. I've loved her ever since she was aninfant. I can't believe that old hag dared to touch my precious daughter.

As Sebastian thought of this, a dark expression loomed across his face.

However, he tried to regain his composure by taking a deep breath. Looking at Kurt, he asked, “Youknew about her identity way before this incident occurred?”

Leg

“When did you replace out?” Even through the screen, Kurt could feel the weight of Sebastian's words.The latter's icy tone seemed to exert an invisible pressure on his shoulders.

Kurt ducked his head and replied shakily, “Just before I left the Royal Academy in my second year.”He had gone so pale that even his lips lost all color.

"What? In your second year?” Sebastian exploded in a fit of fury.

This brat knew about it so early on? Why didn't he tell me about it? Does he know that a disasteralmost happened?

Sebastian's ferocious scowl deepened even further. “Kurt, do you understand the consequences ofyour actions? I was the one who adopted you. All these years, I have raised you to become the manyou are today. Is SteelFort nothing but a pawn that you can use as you please?” he asked in an icytone.

“No!” Kurt's head shot up in panic.

That's not true at all!

When they met gazes through the screen, Sebastian noticed that Kurt had become teary-eyed.“Mr. Hayes, I have never thought of SteelFort in that manner. I-I chose not to inform you about itbecause I was afraid of causing you more trouble. Besides, I never want to contact them again.”“Did you know that things could have been disastrous all because you withheld this informationfrom me? I can't believe you didn't tell me that Daphne is a high priest from Elysium. Did you knowwhy I allowed Vivian to get close to her?” Sebastian snapped.

Sebastian's question was only met with silence from Kurt's end

“I wanted to investigate the reason behind your brother's death. If you had told me about Daphne'sidentity earlier, I would have kept Vivian out of her clutches. Also, I would even go as far as to offeryou the same protection against Daphne! Do you understand how badly you've messed up?”Sebastian roared.

This was the first time anyone saw Sebastian lose his cool.

Ever since the great war ended, Sebastian always kept his emotions in check. Although he would getangry, he never failed to maintain his composure at all times.

It was not until today that Kurt finally witnessed Sebastian losing his temper.

Faced with Sebastian's explosive fury, Kurt was so scared that his entire body froze up.

Though Kurt was someone unafraid of anything, his bottom lip trembled when Sebastian yelled athim. All of the blood had drained from his cheeks, making his skin appear almost gray in color.“I'm sorry,” he whispered.

All of a sudden, Kurt broke down in tears.

Tears streamed down his cheeks as Kurt stared fearfully at Sebastian. For the first time in his life, hewas so terrified that he ended up bawling like a newborn baby.

Despite his maturity, Kurt was still a child. “Mr. Hayes, I'm sorry..."

Repeatedly, he apologized to a stone-faced Sebastian.

Fortunately, Karl was also present. “Mr. Hayes, why don't you calm down? I believe Kurt didn't do iton purpose. If he knew the gravity of the situation, there is no doubt that he would have told youabout it right away. We are both aware of his true nature.”

Ever since Karl took Kurt under his wing, he had never seen the young boy shed a tear. Upon seeinghow Kurt openly cried his eyes out, Karl could not help but intervene out of pity.

Deep down, Sebastian was still fuming in anger.

However, he knew he should not direct all the blame onto Kurt's shoulders.

Most of it is my fault too. I was the one who came up with this master plan and unintentionallyplaced Vivian in grave danger because I overlooked Daphne's identity. I can never forgive that oldhag!

In the end, Sebastian switched off his computer and holed himself in his room.

Outside the room, Sasha felt worried as she overheard the yells.

“Sebastian, what's the matter? Please open the door. I want to talk to you.” She spent severalmoments knocking on the door.

Fortunately, Sebastian's mood had taken a turn for the better. When he finally regained hiscomposure, he quickly strode to the door and opened it to let Sasha in.

Upon seeing that Sebastian had calmed down, Sasha heaved out a heavy sigh of relief.

Yet, she quickly noticed the heavy stench of cigarettes in the air. When Sasha scanned the room, hergaze fell upon a small table by the window with an ashtray on it.q
