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.
Calvin ended up getting injured when he rescued the three of them.
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.
Hugging Vivian in her embrace, Sasha’s breath grew heavier as she heard what the captain said.
But that was not the worst part of what happened to Calvin.
After a round of checking, even the captain could not suppress his rage.
“Old Mr. Jadeson… there’s a chip inside his brain. And, it seems like he got…”
The captain did not dare to finish his sentence.
Jonathan cut a startled look at him.
“Out! All of you get out of my sight now!” Sitting in the chair, Sebastian suddenly burst into a rage right then. He stood up abruptly and started smashing everything in front of him.
Everyone at the scene got petrified, including Jonathan.
But looking at Sebastian’s aggressive look, Jonathan did not dare to face him directly. Eventually, he could only leave with his men.
Sasha also left with the kid.
A chip… and what else? What does the captain mean?
As Sasha carried Vivian out from the place, her mind could not stop thinking about what the captain said. Right then, she could no longer bear to carry Vivian. She immediately put her down while she wandered recklessly to a corner and began vomiting.
She could not imagine what had happened to Calvin.
Such a beautiful boy, not only did he get injected with a chip, he even got… No wonder he chose to end his life.
Sasha bawled her eyes out while vomiting.
At that moment, someone approached her from behind. The man did not interrupt her, watching her silently from her back.
Sasha finally realized there was someone behind her. She was shocked to see the man behind her as she turned around. She choked on her words while trying to hide her emotions. “Karl? Why are you here? You…”
She was aware of Karl’s relationship with Calvin.
She heard that Frederick brought Calvin and Channing home while they were still kids. Karl often went back to SteelFort and played with the former during that period.
Of course, he also taught Calvin many things as he was from special military forces.
Hence, everyone in SteelFort knew that Calvin was closest to Karl besides his brother, Channing.
When Sebastian was at odds with Charles, the former had Calvin and Karl by his side.
At that moment, Sasha was thinking of ways to console Karl.
But Karl just froze on the spot, without saying anything. She had never seen such a brutal and scary look on him.
