Sebastian furrowed his brows as he did not expect Jonathan to ask that.
For a moment, he wanted to ignore the latter and walked right out.
Eventually, however, as he stared at Jonathan’s eyes that were filled with expectation, Sebastian chose to give in.
“Is it so important whether I’ve recovered?”
“Of course!”
“Why?”
“Because I want to know if the price we’ve been paying all this while is worth it.”
Sebastian found it hard to believe Jonathan’s reasoning.
Is it worth it? How do we define the worth of everything that happened? If he thinks that it is worthy to sacrifice so many lives for me to recover and for him to feel less guilty, then congratulations. His wish came true. But has he ever thought that all of this happened because of him in the first place?
Nevertheless, Sebastian nodded faintly in the end. “It’s just as you wished.”
Upon hearing that, Jonathan got overwhelmed with utter excitement.
Tears started welling up in those pair of aged eyes.
“That’s good then, that’s good…” He could not suppress his emotions.
Sebastian ignored Jonathan as he took a glimpse at his watch. He planned to pay a visit to the funeral house.
“Don’t worry about what happened to your uncle. Even if he didn’t end his life, I would have sent him to the military court. Your dad…”
Jonathan choked on his words.
Hearing that, Sebastian paused in his tracks.
Is he finally mentioning Dad?
He froze on the spot but did not turn his head, implying that he wanted to hear more about his father’s past.
