Perhaps it was because he had received plenty of bad news that day, but Dean's ability to bear the news had increased.
When he heard what Sebastian said, he did not get angry which would worsen his condition.
He looked straight ahead at the white wall in front of him. He froze. It was as if someone had cast a spell over him.
Sebastian looked at his father in a daze, as if he saw his father suddenly aging ten years in front of him.
Dean had never looked this depressed.
"Dad, I don’t think we can get this money back. You should just accept it!" Sebastian said once more, consoling his father, "How much did you borrow? We'll slowly pay it back."
Dean snickered condescendingly," Sebastian, I'm not dead yet! Even if Angela and Mary have died, it can’t change the fact that Elliot is a dead man walking! I have never been afraid of anyone in my entire life! So, what if he is richer than me? I'll just fight with him!"
"Dad, you should recuperate. Your health is more important," Sebastian said quietly.
"You’re a useless being! You can't even help me alleviate my worries! Other than putting a funeral for me once I'm dead, what else can you do?" Dean’s blood pressure had stabilized. He felt that he was not going to die anytime soon, so his temper flared up.
"Then, I'll just leave.” Sebastian did not want to stay there being an eyesore, nor did he want to just take it from his father.
Dean saw his son about to leave, and he was feeling a little reluctant. He realized that his words were a little too harsh.
"Sebastian!" Dean called out, "Go check and see if Mary is really dead or not. If she is dead, go and plan hers and Angela's funeral!"
Sebastian replied, "How do you want me to do it? More formal or simpler?”
In the end, his father still did not trust him enough.
For the past few years, the person his father trusted the most was Angela. It was a pity that Angela was only polite and pretended to be lovey-dovey with him on the surface, but she secretly had other plans.
She finally achieved her plans and heartlessly abandoned Dean.
Sebastian felt that his father was actually quite pitiful. Other than releasing his anger on other people, he could not do anything else.
In the evening, Avery returned home and showed Elliot the little gifts that she had
bought.
