Chapter 1231 Father And Son
When Sebastian woke up again, it was already the next morning.
Morning in the mountains was a quiet one after peace returned. The bright sunlight shone into the
woods, and the birds sang their merry songs again. Wildflowers dotted the land as its fragrance filled
the air. It was as if nothing had happened the day before.
Sebastian was in a daze.
When he opened his eyes to see the wooden ceiling, he was lost in his thoughts.
âYouâre finally awake?â
Someone entered the room.
When that person saw that Sebastian was awake, he hurried toward the side of the bed.
Sebastian slowly turned his gaze to the side. It was then that he saw a familiar face.
âDevin?â
âMm.â
Devin nodded before helping him up.
Sebastian could feel his whole body aching.
When he sat up, pain and discomfort flared throughout his body. His chest, especially, felt like there
was a wide, gaping wound on it.
He closed his eyes, his lips turning pale.
At that, Devin hurriedly filled a glass of warm water and handed it to him.
They took a long time to stabilize Sebastianâs condition the night before, for he had been through
inhumane torment in the psychiatric ward.
Despite how Grayson had been protecting him, there were still things they had to go through and drugs
he had to take.
Therefore, Sebastianâs health had deteriorated before getting out of there, and what happened the day
before did not help.
Devin let out a sigh of relief when he saw some colors returning to Sebastianâs face after the drink.
âDonât worry, Sebastian. Iâve assigned some special forces elites to it. Silas has also put out a warrant,
and the entire nation is out for this man. Iâm sure weâll find him soon,â he consoled.
After a beat, Sebastian slowly nodded.
âOkay. What about the others? Are they all okay?â
âHuh?â
Devin was gobsmacked, having not expected to hear Sebastian was concerned about others when he
woke.
Who are the others youâre talking about?
Jonathan?
A smile appeared on Devinâs face as he said, âTheyâre all fine. The officers have all been summoned
back. Also, Grandpa is going to have a retrial.â
âThere is new evidence?â Sebastian promptly asked.
Devin nodded. âWhile we were fighting with Eddie, the officers had formed a group themselves and
went to the place where the incident had happened back then. Then, after looking into it, they found the
commander who had fought with Grandpa. He told them that he did collaborate with Grandpa, but their
goal was to end the war earlier so that fewer people would die. Grandpa didnât kill the troop. It was an
avalanche that did it,â Devin told him.
it was a pleasant surprise.
No one thought that while the Jadeson brothers were fighting for the country, their old military
subordinates were also searching for evidence to clear the Jadesonsâ names.
If they had not thought of Jonathan as the one true commander of the army, they would not have done
this.
A delighted smile emerged on Sebastianâs face.
After a while of sitting in silence, Devin stood up. He had noticed the flash of grey monk clothes
outside.
âIâll head out first. Theyâre still preparing your medication in the kitchen, so Iâll go there to take a look at
it.â
âAll right.â
Sebastian nodded.
Not long after Devin left, an old monk with grey clothes entered with a pot of hot coffee.
The old monk was acting as if nothing had happened. After reaching Sebastian with the pot of coffee,
he smiled and asked, âYouâre awake. Would you like to have some hot brew? These beans were just
harvested not long ago.â
For a second, fury shot up from Sebastianâs chest to the top of his head.
He could not comprehend how someone could be that heartless. Decades. Itâs been decades. Has he
never thought about how those people had struggled through life after thinking that he was dead?
Sebastian balled his fists until his knuckles cracked.
In the end, he decided to tamp down his anger and pulled the blanket away from him instead.
A few minutes later, he sat cross-legged in front of the table as he stared at the old monk who was
pouring coffee into his cup.
âHere, drink it. Itâll make you feel better,â Shin said, gesturing to the cup.
Sebastian fixed his cold eyes on the old monk for another second before lifting the cup and downing it
in one gulp.
