Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1193

Chapter 1193 Root Them All Out

It was still dark when they returned to Jadeborough. Nonetheless, Devin departed immediately for Oceanic Estate.

“Mr. Cooper? Is something wrong?” the housemaid who opened the door asked.

“Where’s Sebastian? Is he asleep?” he asked, not wanting to waste his breath talking to the housemaid.

To his surprise, she shook her head. “Not yet. He’s in the study. Are you here to see him?”

Instead of replying, he brushed past the housemaid and walked in.

He walked through the hall to the small building on the side. At first glance, he saw the room on the first floor. There was a soft, orange glow inside it.

Although the light was not bright, it seemed warm and welcoming in the pre-dawn hours.

He strode over to the room.

The door creaked as he opened it, and a wave of warmth enveloped him. Tears stung his eyes.

It’s my first time back here after everything that has happened.

The people in the study froze in shock, especially the old, white-haired man by the fireplace. He raised his head, and his drowsy eyes widened when he was who it was.

“Devin?”

He got up abruptly, put down the cup of coffee in his hand with a clatter, and rushed up to the doorway.

Devin could not hold it in any longer. Hot tears rolled down his cheeks as he stood in front of the old man. “Grandpa, I’m back.”

“You’re back! My eldest grandson… is finally home!” Jonathan choked out, overwhelmed with emotions. At that moment, the man who had never shed a single tear at the battlefield embraced his long-lost grandson with tear-filled eyes.

After everything he had gone through, he finally understood that there was nothing more important than being surrounded by family.

Meanwhile, Sebastian stood at one side, watching quietly.

After making sure that the two men had calmed down, he pushed a fresh cup of coffee toward Devin.

“Have you settled everything in Adonia?”

“Yes. Janice is dead.” Devin lifted the cup to his lips and took a sip. The mere mention of that name brought a lump in his throat.

Sebastian looked slightly astonished. “Dead? How did she die?”

“She was severely injured while fighting with them, but I had no idea about it. When she got on the speedboat, she realized there was no way she’d escape. Hence, she blew up the speedboat,” Devin answered grimly.
