“Is that so?” “Yeah. Like you’ve said, that place is, after all, my home. If I want to go back, I’ll have to work harder. Not only are there people whom I hate over there, but there are also many tribe members living there. So, Uncle Sebastian, I must return. I can’t watch my mom, sister, grandparents, and thousands and millions of lives in Elysium become the pawn of those heartless beasts without doing anything!” He put forth each word in a firm and agitated tone.
His demeanor was a spit resemblance to someone when he was young.
Despite that the person was forced back then, he still took the helm of the great mission to save the entire country in the end.
Ultimately, Sebastian agreed to his request.
Outside, the mother and daughter were chatting as they took a stroll.
“Vivi, it seems like you treat Kurt differently from the others. You’ve even brought him to meet Daddy this time. If it were you in the past, you would never do something so bold,” Sasha remarked.
Before Vivian even said a word, her pretty, fair cheeks turned red.
“Mommy, I-I’m still the same… I’d also treat Mr. Frost this way. And also the others like Sam…”
“Really?” Sasha looked at the embarrassed girl and smiled.
She had finally realized it too.
Even though it took her a while, she finally noticed Vivian’s feelings after seeing how worried she was about Kurt.
Indeed. I’ve married Sebastian at eighteen. Given that she’s at the age of fantasizing over love, there’s nothing weird about it.
Despite so, Sasha recalled the scene of her dad at home after things happened between Sebastian and her.
“Vivi, I really hope all of you little ones can grow up quickly and become adults with great capabilities. That way, Daddy won’t have to worry too much anymore.”
“Huh?”
Puzzled, Vivian stared intently at Sasha, who had suddenly become solemn.
“Mommy, what do you mean? Even if we’ve grown up, Daddy would still be worried if he’s met with obstacles with his matters.”
“That’s not it.” Sasha shook her head. “You have no idea, but after Daddy was severely injured and in a coma for three years, it has inadvertently caused many problems to other parts of his body. I don’t wish to see him exert himself anymore, especially exhausting his energy.”
“Energy?” Vivian stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Sasha. Her expression was all serious as a sense of foreboding grew within her.
C-Could there be something wrong with Daddy again?
“Mommy, w-what’s wrong… with Daddy?”
“It’s no big deal. It’s just that Daphne’s matter has given him a little setback. Now that his body is no longer comparable to the past, sometimes he’ll become frustrated and impatient when he is too deep into his thoughts. These are all symptoms that show how badly damaged his body is.”
Sasha revealed the truth to Vivian.
After all, she figured that her daughter was already seventeen and was at the age where she could share the family’s load. Likewise, she would treat Matteo and Ian the same way, too.
As soon as she finished her words, a tinge of panic and intense concern flashed across Vivian’s tiny face.
Nonetheless, she did not behave like how she would when met with problems in the past — crying and overreacting. Instead, she stood there trying her best to suppress her emotions.
