A Spoiled Man
Sebastian answered, “Scalpels are razor thin, so they only leave small injuries. Since it’s used in
surgeries, it’s different from your regular knives. Look at the end of the cut. It obviously arches outward,
so it has a circular blade. It’s the same kind of scalpel doctors use to remove skin and muscles.”
Devin could not believe what he was hearing. He stood beside the bodies, his mouth forming a comical
‘O.’
Since he used to be a commander of the special forces, he knew a lot of stuff most people didn’t.
However, now he knew Sebastian was leagues ahead of him, and that reality was hard to accept.
We’re both from the same family. Did God bless him with two thousand IQ instead of the usual one?
Man, he’s in a league of his own.
“You there? Talk to me.”
Devin snapped out of it. What Sebastian told him to remind him of a certain someone, so he asked,
“Oh, right, okay. So are you saying the one who tried to save them has a scalpel? Are you trying to say
Janice was the one who tried to bust them out?”
Sebastian didn’t deny it, just as Devin expected.
Oh, he didn’t deny it?
That piqued Devin’s curiosity, especially when he was reminded of another problem. “Sebastian, how
did you know Alfred’s son is in The Ataraxy? If I remember correctly, you just regained consciousness
back then, so how did you find out about him so quickly?”
Devin’s question was an insensitive one, and an awkward silence fell between them. It wasn’t the best
question to ask, for that was the only time the undefeated Sebastian was… well, defeated.
The moment he asked that question, Devin could feel Sebastian’s frustration welling up even through
the phone.
“But I got it wrong, didn’t I?”
“Yes, but just because those b*stards are more cunning than we thought they are. Who would have
thought they made the switch thirty years ago? Even Alfred did not know about it, so who else could?”
He emphasized the last part so Sebastian wouldn’t fly into a rage.
They knew each other since they were teenagers, and Sebastian hated it whenever someone made
him angry. Because of that, Devin knew he had to calm him down, or Sebastian would keep throwing a
tantrum.
Besides, it wasn’t Sebastian’s fault. After all, everything happened thirty years ago. Sebastian was just
a kid back then, so there was no way he could have seen that far back.
Even Alfred was fooled, let alone an outsider like Sebastian.
“Because Alfred is a fool who didn’t even know his son had been switched. Ironically, he switched
Jared’s son, but he never thought the same fate would fall on him.”
Ah, he has calmed down a little. At least he’s talking business while insulting Alfred.
But still, what Sebastian said surprised Devin.
So Alfred switched Jared’s son for his own? But that means Jared’s son is still missing. So where is he
right now?
“I think he is dead. Do you think Alfred would keep him around as a souvenir?” Sebastian mocked
cruelly.
Devin said nothing. After all, he wouldn’t put that past someone like Alfred. However, he pitied Jared.
Not only did he raise someone else’s child, but his own son was also killed.
Devin didn’t know how to describe his feeling, since Jared was also a part of his family. “Why’d you
know all of this? Did you find something? You didn’t sound surprised when you said Janice was the one
who tried to save Isaac’s parents. You must have found something. Isaac is Alfred’s son, so-”
Sebastian interrupted him, “No, Alfred didn’t play a part in this. It’s thanks to Janice’s sister, Felicity.”
Sebastian only told him about the person who was involved and nothing else, but Devin was still
stunned. Felicity?
He never heard that name before, but Sebastian didn’t sound like he wanted to talk about it anymore.
Besides, he had never heard about this woman even though she was related to Jadeborough’s top
dog, so he could guess what Felicity’s fate was.
After Devin was done with the procedure, he went back to the hospital.
The moment he came back to the ward, Sabrina who had been waiting for him asked, “So? Is it done?
I’ve picked a place in the cemetery for them, and we can send them there right away.
Devin stopped for a moment. He’d be lying if he said he wasn’t jealous when he saw how worried and
anxious Sabrina was at that moment.
She didn’t spare a sliver of affection for Isaac when he was alive, but she treated him as a family after
his death. She even made arrangements for Isaac’s deceased parents’ burial.
“Not yet. Cops said they have to find more clues, so not for now,” Devin lied, but only partly.
Sabrina looked crestfallen after hearing that, but she didn’t say anything about that. All she did was
stare at her phone blankly.
Devin was annoyed, so he pretended not to see the chat window on her phone and the blurry island
photo in the background.
He just looked at the time instead.
