Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover
That day, Devin, who was in Jadeborough, received a call from Jetroina. It was Karl, informing him that
Edmund had traveled to Jetroina to gamble and had almost lost his entire family’s fortune.
In the end, it was Sebastian who bailed the man out.
Sebastian had also suggested that Devin find Edmund a job so that he would stop idling around.
“That idiot!”
Devin could feel his anger building after listening to Karl’s words.
Immediately, he made arrangements for Edmund to return to Jadeborough, intending to pick the man up
from the airport personally.
As such, Edmund, who had been wandering abroad for a long time, finally started making preparations
to return to his country. It was about time for him to get back on the right track in life.
Upon hearing the news, Sabrina rushed to the hotel and greeted Edmund with a flying kick when she
saw him.
“There must be something wrong with your brain! Otherwise, why would you create so much trouble? I
hope you’ve learned your lesson after this time. When you get back, you really have to start working
hard. As a man, you will have to provide for your family in the future.”
“I know, I know,” Edmund replied in an exaggerated manner while hugging his leg, which was hurting
from the woman’s kick.
After cleaning himself up, the man was back to his handsome self again, with a tinge of his usual
roguishness.
Indeed, he finally understood.
Edmund had realized what Sebastian told him was true. Even just as a platonic friend, the woman still
cared about him so much.
He was very contented with the current situation and would not risk anything to destroy it.
That night, the two of them left Jetroina.
After everyone left, the hospital ward fell silent once again. As Sasha was still trapped in the sealed
room, Sebastian was the only one sitting in the cheerless corridor.
Sasha: Sebby, are you sitting alone outside? Do you wanna go home and rest?
Sebastian: No need. I’m chatting with Karl.
Sasha: What are you guys chatting about?
Out of curiosity, Sasha approached the glass door and peered through it with her phone in hand.
Even though she did not see Sebastian, she saw Xayden being forced into a corner by Karl. She also
noticed that Xayden, who was backed up against the wall, was holding something in his hand.
“Was it you who did it?”
“N-no… It wasn’t me,” Xayden replied, feeling aggrieved.
He had indeed not done anything other than put the wine inside the fridge. He had not expected that the
bottle would explode. In fact, he did not even know that it was possible for alcohol to cause an explosion,
not to mention damaging Karl’s clothes as a result.
Xayden wanted to escape, but right then, he saw Sebastian walking out of Haruto’s office.
“What are the two of you doing here at this hour? Stop fooling around.”
“Mr. Hayes, please be the judge! After a lot of effort, I finally managed to get a few bottles of wine from
the most famous bar in Terrandya. But this idiot placed the bottles in the freezer, and they ended up
exploding! Not only that, I don’t know what he did when he was retrieving the wine, but it caused the
glass shreds to fly all over the place. These are from my new clothes!” Karl said, waving a few pieces of
shredded cloth in front of Sebastian.
Sebastian was speechless after hearing that. Meanwhile, Xayden was so worried that he had hidden
behind Sebastian, keeping silent.
Finally, Sebastian took out his credit card and handed it to Karl. “Take this and buy some new clothes for
yourself. You should know this guy well enough by now. Judging by the way he behaves toward me, it
shouldn’t be a surprise to you that that happened.”
Enough said.
Karl knew that Sebastian was right.
Xayden was indeed the weirdest man in SteelFort.
After that was settled, it was time to discuss serious matters. Looking toward Xayden, Sebastian said, “I
just spoke to Dr. Shoki. He told me that you managed to find a way to contain the bacteria?”
“Yup, that’s right. But I’m not sure if it even exists in the world,” Xayden replied, scratching the back of his
head.
Not sure if it even exists in the world? What on Earth does he mean by that?
Karl had the urge to smack the man on the back of his head but was stopped by Sebastian.
“What do you mean? How could you have found a way if you’re not sure if it exists in the first place?”
“Because that bacteria proliferates by feeding on a chemical substance. I’ve managed to derive the
composition of that chemical substance, and with the help of Dr. Shoki, we have derived the dilution point
of that substance. Next, we’ll just have to search for the substance needed to dilute it.” Xayden tried his
best to explain.
So, what would we require?
Sebastian waited for the man to carry on.
However, he did not expect that the answer Xayden had for him was a long and complex chain of
chemical formula.
“I’ve derived this based on the blue pill which Mr. Devin took previously. As the bullet which struck him
was from the first batch, the effects were less harmful. For Mrs. Hayes’ case, we’ll need to manufacture
the antidote from a purer substance. However, what’s in the market now are all artificial extracts. I
haven’t seen any natural and pure extract that suits our need yet,” Xayden replied nervously.
It was clear that the ingredients they needed had to be entirely pure and naturally occurring.
The extracts and man-made substances which constituted the antidote for Devin would not work for
Sasha.
Upon hearing that, a deep crease appeared between Sebastian’s brows, as there were a few ingredients
that he had not even heard of before…
