Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1565

Chapter 1565 The Mission

Sebastian wondered if things would have turned out differently had Frederick done the same thing for him. Maybe I wouldn’t have to suffer in a mental hospital for six years. Anyhow, I have to do right by my son.

“I won’t make the same mistake again, Daddy.”

“I’m glad to hear that. Don’t be too hard on yourself, Ian. The whole thing with Duncan was planned, so you couldn’t possibly have anticipated it.”

“Then… Then what should we do now?”

“If you’re up for it, I have a mission for you. I’ve had a discussion with Devin, and we realized that we have no idea how many of those who went to the military base with you were like Duncan. Because of their identities, your Uncle Devin and great-grandpa might not be the best people to investigate. That’s why I think you’re the best fit for the job.”

Ian was utterly taken aback when asked to consider such an important mission.

Staring at Sebastian in shock, Ian could not believe that his father would entrust something so critical to him after his mistake.

The boy suddenly felt a rush of excitement and was ready to find courage once again.

“So will you do it?”

“Yes, of course! You can count on me!” agreed Ian instantly while nodding fervently, afraid that his father would reconsider assigning him the mission if he responded a second later.

“Good. I’ll fill you in with the details later. I know this is your first mission, Ian, so I hope that everything works out for you. We’ll celebrate when you return, okay?” Sebastian gave Ian an assuring smile, relieved to see how his son had regained confidence once again. I know Ian is destined for great things because he’s my son!

It did not take long before the news reached Devin and Jonathan, who got concerned when they heard that the sixteen-year-old was assigned with such a dangerous mission.

However, Sebastian did not feel the same way. “Even a lion cub needs to learn how to hunt before it can become the king of the forest. You don’t have to worry about Ian. That boy is smarter than two of you combined!”

Jonathan made a face when Sebastian ridiculed his intelligence. How dare this b*stard of a grandson mock me as soon as he gets the chance! So what if I’m not as bright as Ian? The boy’s only that gifted because he has my genes!

Since Sebastian had already regained consciousness, the gang was ready to head back.
