The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)
Chapter 619

“You knew about this the whole time too, didn’t you?”

“What?”

Rufus’ hand froze upon hearing that, and there was a look of panic on his face and it had gone pale.Sebastian felt his burning rage and hatred resurface when he saw his reaction.

“That Shin is my biological father! You knew the Jadesons were a huge threat to my mom since sheshowed up, so why didn't you tell me about it? Why did you and Frederick keep it a secret from me?Don't tell me this is your way of protecting me!” he shouted at the top of his lungs with bloodshoteyes.

Rufus was at a loss for words.

It was indeed our way of protecting him, but I have no right to say that now... Not after how Friedadied in front of him as a result...

“Sebastian, I-"

“Do you have any idea how much shock and disbelief I was in when I discovered that Shin was myfather? Devin told me how the Jadesons had mercilessly gotten rid of that “traitor’ even though hewas a member of the family. As such, I was grateful to both you and Frederick when I found out thatI survived that gruesome fate, but why didn’t you tell me the truth? Why did you have to wait untilhe's dead to tell me? I'm not a f*cking kid anymore, da*n it! It's all too late now!”

Despair, anger, and hatred were written all over his face, and he broke down in tears moments afterscreaming his heart out.

Rufus was shocked by how emotional he got.

Frieda has only made such a brief appearance, and he's that devastated over her death? There isn'ta single trace of hope in those eyes of his! I don't understand this guy at all...

He would've understood Sebastian if he knew how Frieda died.

The Jadesons had shot at Sebastian, and she jumped in to take the bullet for him.

That showed the Jadesons couldn't care less about Sebastian being a part of their family and weregoing to kill him like they did with Shin back then.

If they had no issues killing Sebastian, then there was no stopping them from going after his wife,his child, and anyone else related to him.

It was the first time in his life Sebastian had felt such despair, and he broke down crying as he askedrepeatedly, “Why didn't you tell me sooner? Why? Why?"

Had I known about it, I would have been able to do something to prevent this!

Rufus was so shocked by his reaction that he could only sigh with tears in his eyes as he didn't knowhow to answer him.

“It's not that we didn’t want to tell you, we just... We wanted for Shin's one and only descendant tolive a great life in this world. You have no idea how hard it was for us to rescue you and your motherback then. None of us knew this would happen. Shin arrived in Avenport and was attracted to yourmother, Frieda, when he met her at the Hayes Residence. Frederick and I witnessed the two of themfall in love and get married. However, the Jadesons labeled Frieda as a heinous sinner soon after shemarried into the family. They accused her of corrupting Shin and claimed that you didn't deserve tobe born into this world. Hell, they transferred Shin away with a military order just so they couldharm her even when she was already eight months pregnant! Neither of you would've survived if itweren't for Frederick and I! Do you really think we could tell you about this and risk alerting theJadesons to your existence?”

Rufus was crying too after letting all of that out.

Sebastian went pale from shock for quite a while before slumping into the chair behind him.

He's right... I'm in no position to question them nor blame them for keeping it from me... After all,I'm only alive today because of them...

With that in mind, whatever light Sebastian had in his eyes disappeared.

“All right, let's not talk about this anymore now. You've gone an entire day and night without resthere, so you must be tired. Go back and get some sleep, okay? I can take care of things here,” Rufussaid when he noticed how Sebastian had gone quiet.

Sebastian closed his eyes for a moment before getting up and leaving the ward.
