It was truly embarrassing for a lady from the Jadesons to cause such a scene in public.
In the meantime, Sebastian was at the morgue.
“Devin, your mom’s here.”
However, there was no response from Devin.
Devin had been sitting in the same position for hours, looking as if he had detached himself from everything happening around him. He kept staring at the corpse in front of him, with his face devoid of expression.
Sebastian was speechless as he furrowed his brows.
In the end, he turned to exit the place, planning to settle the matter himself.
“So, are all our debts cleared now?”
Just then, a coarse voice echoed from the morgue. Sebastian, who had reached the door, froze on the spot.
Did Devin say that?
Sebastian shifted his gaze back to Devin, feeling slightly displeased.
“Devin, you’re not thinking straight right now. You should get some rest.”
“No, I’m more conscious than ever.” Devin finally lifted his head as he cast his bloodshot eyes at Sebastian.
“You never intend to spare his life all this while, did you? After all, your Dad died in his hands, and your Mom’s death was also indirectly related to me. So all I want to know now is with his death, do we still owe your family?”
His voice trembled as he spoke, and his eyes began to water.
Sebastian’s heart skipped a beat as alarm bells started ringing in his head.
“I never said that you owed me anything. What your Dad did has nothing to do with you.” He finally made a clear stand on the matter.
It’s true that I did want to take my revenge. But Devin had never been on my list.
Finally getting an answer, Devin lowered his head and let out a smile as his eyes brimmed with tears.
So that means the debt’s clear now. That’s good to know.
The next moment, he finally stood up. He started pushing out the corpse from the morgue, right in front of Sebastian.
“Devin, what are you doing?”
“Nothing. I want to take him to see Mom. I know she won’t leave until she sees him,” Devin responded faintly.
Sebastian clenched his fist upon hearing that.
He was somehow startled by Devin’s gesture. He could not believe the latter could still be so considerate after experiencing such a blow in his life.
