It was supposed to be a secret between them.
Back then, when Calvin was taking her with him, the situation got out of hand as Charles had been watching those kids closely.
Vivian would never forget how afraid and worried she was at that moment, as she forced Calvin to make her a promise.
She wanted him to promise her that he would never let himself get hurt. Only then was she willing to let him go.
But… why is he hurt now? He even spat out so much blood…
With that in mind, Vivian burst into tears.
“Brother Cal… don’t be afraid. Even though you didn’t keep your promise, Mommy is a doctor. I’ll ask her to save you.”
She forgave him in a generous gesture while comforting him kindly.
At that moment, Calvin’s lips curled into a smile.
He did not know what he was waiting for.
But after he saw Vivian, he finally felt he could let go. He glanced at her while taking out a pink pearl that he had been keeping with him all this time.
“That’s the pearl from my hairpin. Brother Cal, did you help me to find it?”
Vivian stretched out her hand and grabbed the pearl from his hand.
Their hands touched each other.
After Calvin felt the warmth of Vivian’s hand, the beam of life began fading from his beautiful eyes.
Eventually, his hand fell weakly out of Vivian’s hand.
Vivian was stumped at that moment.
She froze on the spot for a long while, grabbing the pink pearl in her hand. Before she could react, she heard her mother crying.
“Calvin…”
Sebastian took a step backward and slumped back into the chair behind.
A few minutes later, Jonathan brought his men and came in. By then, he saw Calvin lying on the floor without a breath.
“Old Mr. Jadeson, it’s suicide. But he had experienced inhuman torture while he was alive. His tongue got cut off, and both his hands were almost disabled. I suppose it was to force the information about Mr. Sebastian out of him.”
The captain of the bodyguards was an experienced man in such a matter.
By judging by Calvin’s look, he could predict all his experiences accurately.
