At General Hospital in Jadeborough.
When Sebastian received his son’s call, he had just arranged for Frederick’s surgery with the help of Devin Jadeson.
He couldn’t believe his ears. “What? Aunt Sabrina?”
“Yes, Daddy. Aunt Sabrina is lying on the ground in the market opposite the playground in front of our house. When will you be back?” Matteo inquired naively. He had no idea his father wasn’t in Avenport now.
After confirming the fact, Sebastian could hardly contain his happiness. “Matt, I’m not in Avenport right now. I’ve brought Grandpa to Avenport to treat his illness. Listen to me carefully. I’ll ask Karl to come over right now. Take care of your Aunt Sabrina until he arrives, alright?”
“Sure!” Matteo answered.
Daddy gave us a mission to take good care of Aunt Sabrina. We must not disappoint him!
The children held hands and formed a circle around Sabrina to protect her from the crowd.
“Stay away. This is our aunt, so no one is allowed to touch her.”
“Yes, don’t touch her!” Vivian warned.
Back in Jadeborough, Sebastian hung up and was going to head back to Avenport.
Devin frowned at his actions. “You’re leaving that soon? Won’t you wait until your father comes out of his surgery? The hospital director said his condition is quite critical. If you leave now…” he trailed off as his meaning was clear.
If Sebastian were to leave now, he might not get to see his father for the last time.
Alas, Sebastian was unfazed.
“That’s his fate. I’ve done my job by sending him here,” the man responded coolly and spun on his heels to leave.
Devin fell silent.
“Mr. Sebastian, can I talk to you in private?” Right then, Channing returned after dealing with the procedures. He immediately stopped Sebastian from leaving and asked to talk to him.
A few minutes later, they both stopped at a quiet corridor in the hospital.
Channing stood still and stared at the young man who he had watched growing up. After a long silence, he said, “Mr. Sebastian, before Mr. Hayes had a heart attack, he made a will with his lawyer, Gabriel Averton.”
His words caught Sebastian by surprise.
Channing continued, “Mr. Hayes knew this would happen one day, so he made arrangements beforehand by leaving all his shares to you.”
“What? Come again?” Sebastian regained his composure and glared at him.
