Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover Chapter 1283
At his words, everyone was so heartbroken that they were utterly speechless. Standing there, Sasha swayed from side to side before collapsing onto the floor.
“Sasha!” everyone yelped in shock.
Sure enough, just as predicted by Grayson, Sebastian’s behavior was getting weirder.
He refused to go out and answer phone calls. The man even got mad whenever he heard the ringtone, asking others to throw the phone away.
Needless to say, he was also unwilling to listen to any work reports.
The man did not give them the slightest chance of opening their mouths.
Jonathan was in despair.
Likewise, a feeling of doom and gloom engulfed everyone in the White House, because Sebastian was their backbone and pillar of support.
Even Shin came down from Aquene Temple.
Surprisingly, Sebastian showed no distaste when he saw Shin.
“What’s on your mind?”
The weather was crisp at the observation tower. Dressed in a grey monk’s robe, Shin gazed at Sebastian, who was enjoying a cup of tea in a chair.
The latter glanced up at him. A few seconds later, Sebastian asked, “Why did you not want to see my mom? She waited for you for years. Don’t you miss her?”
Shin remained silent.
As a monk, he would usually refuse to answer such questions.
He stood there, looking at Sebastian silently for a moment before sitting cross-legged in front of the young man.
“She’s always in my heart.”
“Hmm?”
Sebastian’s motion of drinking tea halted abruptly.
In his heart?
He was bewildered by those words. Soon, he pursed his lips and drank the cup of tea in one gulp.
“Stop making up excuses. Shouldn’t you reflect on your actions? Your hesitation harmed her. Despite knowing the Jadesons would not let her off, you still abandoned her in Avenport. What were you trying to do?”
Although Shin had been a monk for decades, his face became ashen at his words.
“Mr. Jadeson…”
“Don’t be nervous. I’m bringing this up only to tell you that I’m different from you. I’m not a man with great ambition or a strong sense of responsibility, nor do I have a passion for noble causes. My only goal is to protect my wife and children. Even if the country crumbles, it has nothing to do with me,” he added.
Afterward, he started drinking his tea again.
Shin was at a loss for words, gaping at the young man.
At that moment, he finally understood his son’s obsession.
Sebastian had been traumatized by his mother’s death, so he did not want his family to end up like his parents.
Compared to this country, his family was way more important to him.
Previously, he had always been forced to endure and persevere through countless adversities. Now that he had a nervous breakdown, he certainly did not want to handle those problems again.
Before Shin left, he told everyone at Oceanic Estate to let him rest, but not to make him deal with anything else.
Each of them became even more despondent and down in the dumps.
Meanwhile, because of his prolonged disappearance, rumors about him spread like wildlife. Many assumed that he was mentally ill again and refused to care about what was going on.
After the escape of Eddie’s men who infiltrated the Naval Force, the three armories in the military underground tunnel were now in Eddie’s hands once again.
Though Devin’s men lay in wait nearby, the guileful Eddie managed to enter the tunnel freely and shifted all the weapons in only a week.
“Hahaha! Even God sides with me! Sebastian has indeed lost his mind at the right time.”
“Yes, Chairman. Is it because we’ve changed the medicine Grayson prescribed for him? Is this why he has gone mad at this crucial moment?”
In the armory, Eddie broke into gales of laughter.
Those around him followed and flashed him flattering grins.
Back then, when Sebastian pretended to be mentally ill and was locked up in The Fourth Hospital, they stealthily changed his medicine prescribed by Grayson so that he would really become deranged.
After a long while, Eddie’s chortles finally ceased. Staring at the nuclear wave bullets, he replied, “It doesn’t matter how it happened. He’s the biggest obstacle to me. I’m glad that he’s gone. It’s too bad that a talented man like him is not mine. Otherwise, I would be unstoppable.”
As he spoke, he actually began to feel sentimental.
His subordinates continued fawning over him and asked, “Chairman, what are we going to do next? Are we going to launch an attack?”
“Of course. Since Sebastian is now ill and the White House has no leader, we must seize this golden opportunity. Have we deployed our men? Are they ready?”
“Yes, those in the White House are ready, and the same goes for those lurking all around Jadeborough. By the way, the military base is our main focus. Now Devin is at the Naval Base, so Jonathan is left alone at the military base. Once we transferred these nuclear wave bullets there, our men at the military base will help us bury them in the ground. Afterward, we can wipe out the entire army.”
