Richard lowered his head. "I understand, Grandpa. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
Callen nodded. "Go."
Once Richard had left, Callen picked up his phone and dialed a number. "I hear Sebastian is on his deathbed."
"Excellent. We can cooperate when the time comes."
"Do not worry. I would never dream of cutting you out."
"Keep a close eye on them. Once the media frenzy hits its peak, they will be forced to admit the truth, will they not?"
"Good. We will speak soon."
He hung up the phone, a ruthless glint appearing in his eyes. "Sebastian, this time, we will see if your luck has finally run out."
Ravenwood Manor, Dracovia.
Derrick looked at Greg as he was wheeled into the room, his eyes widening in surprise. "Dad? What are you doing here?"
"What? Am I not allowed to come?" Greg’s expression was stern. "Or were you planning to join the rest of them in hiding the news from me?"
Uriel let out a cold and bitter laugh from the side. "The apple does not fall far from the tree. With an aunt like that, what could you expect from Triny? She is just as manipulative and desperate. She actually tried to use a drug to force my son to love her. It is revolting. If I were not so drained right now, I would make the Lindt family pay for this. She dared to harm my son and I will make sure she regrets it for the rest of her life."
Derrick saw the raw agony on her face and pulled her into a gentle embrace, patting her back. "Do not do this to yourself. Our son is strong. He loves Lilian too much to leave her alone. He will pull through."
Uriel broke down into frantic sobs against his chest. "It is my fault. I should have kept a closer eye on that girl. I knew she was not Lilian. I knew she was up to something but I let my guard down. If I had been more careful, she never would have had the chance. Sebastian would not be lying there like this. It is all on me."
Derrick suppressed his own grief to comfort her. "It is not your fault. You did your best. That girl was incredibly cunning. Do not blame yourself. We have to have faith. Sebastian has cheated death so many times before. He will survive this too."
"He is right, Uriel. Do not lose heart," Ruby added. "Lilian loves him more than anything. She will not let him go. We just have to be patient and wait for the good news. I am sure she will bring him back to us."
