The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

“Is that so?”

“Yeah. Like you've said, that place is, after all, my home. If I want to go back, I'll have to work harder.

Not only are there people whom I hate over there, but there are also many tribe members living there.

So, Uncle Sebastian, I must return. I can't watch my mom, sister, grandparents, and thousands and

millions of lives in Elysium become the pawn of those heartless beasts without doing anything!” He put

forth each word in a firm and agitated tone.

His demeanor was a spit resemblance to someone when he was young.

Despite that the person was forced back then, he still took the helm of the great mission to save the

entire country in the end.

Ultimately, Sebastian agreed to his request.

Outside, the mother and daughter were chatting as they took a stroll.

“Vivi, it seems like you treat Kurt differently from the others. You've even brought him to meet Daddy

this time. If it were you in the past, you would never do something so bold,” Sasha remarked.

Before Vivian even said a word, her pretty, fair cheeks turned red.

“Mommy, I-I'm still the same... I'd also treat Mr. Frost this way. And also the others like Sam...”

“Really?” Sasha looked at the embarrassed girl and smiled.

She had finally realized it too.

Even though it took her a while, she finally noticed Vivian's feelings after seeing how worried she was

about Kurt.

Indeed. I've married Sebastian at eighteen. Given that she's at the age of fantasizing over love, there's nothing weird about it.

Despite so, Sasha recalled the scene of her dad at home after things happened between Sebastian

and her.

“Vivi, I really hope all of you little ones can grow up quickly and become adults with great capabilities.

That way, Daddy won't have to worry too much anymore.”

“Huh?”

Puzzled, Vivian stared intently at Sasha, who had suddenly become solemn.

“Mommy, what do you mean? Even if we've grown up, Daddy would still be worried if he's met with

obstacles with his matters.”

“That's not it.” Sasha shook her head. “You have no idea, but after Daddy was severely injured and in a

coma for three years, it has inadvertently caused many problems to other parts of his body. I don't wish

to see him exert himself anymore, especially exhausting his energy.”

“Energy?” Vivian stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Sasha. Her expression was all serious as

a sense of foreboding grew within her.

C-Could there be something wrong with Daddy again?

“Mommy, w-what's wrong... with Daddy?”

“It's no big deal. It's just that Daphne's matter has given him a little setback. Now that his body is no

longer comparable to the past, sometimes he'll become frustrated and impatient when he is too deep

into his thoughts. These are all symptoms that show how badly damaged his body is.”

Sasha revealed the truth to Vivian.

After all, she figured that her daughter was already seventeen and was at the age where she could

share the family's load. Likewise, she would treat Matteo and Ian the same way, too.

As soon as she finished her words, a tinge of panic and intense concern flashed across Vivian's tiny

face.

Nonetheless, she did not behave like how she would when met with problems in the past — crying and

overreacting. Instead, she stood there trying her best to suppress her emotions.

Moments later, she clenched her fists tight and looked at Sasha with her pale face. “I got it, Mommy. I

won't make Daddy worry for me anymore in the future.”

“Alright. Now that you guys have grown up, you need to learn how to shoulder Daddy's worries. When

you see Kurt later, discuss with him Daphne's matter. If there's anything, you can look for your brothers

for help.”

“All right!” At once, Vivian agreed without hesitation.

Later, after the mother and daughter headed back to the villa, Vivian hurriedly pulled Kurt to her room

after Sasha accompanied Sebastian upstairs.

“Kurt, give me some time. I'll get connected with Matt and Ian.”

While Kurt was baffled, Vivian had already speedily turned on the computer.

On the computer screen appeared both of her brothers. Matteo was drenched in sweat as he worked

hard at training in the military school, while Ian looked suave while in his uniform as he worked on his

research at the base.

“Matt, Ian, it's me, Vivi! It's been a long while!” Upon seeing her brothers, Vivian greeted them

delightedly.

Matteo reciprocated Vivian's warmness with the same amount of chirpiness since he was naturally a

cheerful person.

He flashed a broad smile, revealing his pearly white teeth. “Hi, Vivi. You're here too, Kurt? Hello!”

“Hello,” Kurt politely responded.

In contrast, Ian was much more reserved and quiet. Hence, he had only nodded his head lightly as a

greeting after seeing the people on the screen.

“What's up?” he asked.

“Right! Ian, I've got to share this with you. Kurt and I have encountered a huge incident while at

Yartran...”

The eloquent Vivian then gave an account of everything that had happened to them for the past few

days in accurate detail.

As soon as she concluded her sentence, Ian stopped what he was doing and walked up to his camera,

looking grim. Likewise, Matteo leaned closer as he grabbed his shirt to wipe off the sweat droplets on

his face.

“What did Daddy say? Did he suspect that Brother Cal's death has something to do with that woman?”

Ian probed.

It was no doubt he had inherited most of his genes from Sebastian, thus explaining why he could grasp

that point within a short time.

“Yeah, and he even says that Eddie has always been in cahoots with her. He also suspects that

Elysium has already become the territory of Eddie's remnants and requested for Kurt to head there.”

Vivian poured every single detail out.

As such, even before Kurt could say anything, Matteo, who had not made any remarks since earlier,

finally broke his silence. “He's going alone? Isn't that too risky?”

“Exactly,” Ian chipped in.

“In that case, should the two of us follow along?” Matteo asked.

“Sure. Mommy has said that we should help Daddy shoulder the problems. Let's do it together, then,”

Vivian interjected.

“Okay.” Ian agreed too.

Kurt was dumbstruck.

The three of them are really something!q
