Chapter 1553

Poison? He made it himself, probably. He was a chemistry genius, after all.

lan fell sick after that. His fever lasted for three days, and Sasha had to come back to see him. Even

Sabrina came as well

“Is he all right, Dr. Wallen?”

After Grayson checked lan up, he said, “He's all right. His psychological trauma caused his lymph

nodes to get inflamed, and that's why he has a fever. He just has to get injected. That's all.”

However, Sasha was shocked to hear that news. Psychological trauma? But that's even worse.

She started getting really worried for her son, and as she expected, after lan got better, he became a

boy of few words. He locked himself up in his room all day and wouldn't come out no matter who

called him.

When Jonathan saw it, he realized that he might have acted a bit too rashly regarding Duncan's

case.

“Do you have any idea how to heal him, Grayson?”

“It'll be hard. He's always been a lone wolf, and this case traumatized him. If he can't get over it, it'll

be hard to settle,” Grayson said the truth.

Most of lan's problems stemmed from the hatred and disgust festering in his heart. The betrayal

was not the main factor. He couldn't forgive himself for inviting a traitor in and hurting everyone. He

had been a proud person ever since he was a child, and this case devastated his pride.

Grayson hesitated to say it, but in the end, he said, “And I have to remind you that your grandson is

genetically impaired.”

Jonathan looked up all of a sudden, and he blanched. What? How did that happen? This boy must

not follow in his father's footsteps.

A gloomy atmosphere hung around Oceanic Estate. Vivian was feeling down for the last couple of

days as well. She had been betrayed at school before, and Elaine's betrayal was even worse than

Duncan's, so she knew how it felt.

“What should we do, Kurt? lan just won't come out no matter what we do. What should we do?”

Kurt was standing beside her, but he couldn't come up with any good ideas either. However, he did

notice something. “lan can't forgive himself for helping Duncan get into the military base. He feels

guilty for having caused harm to his father and family.”

Vivian was still crying, but she looked up at him after hearing his words. “Really? So does that mean

if Daddy wakes up and tells lan that he doesn't blame him, lan will get better?” she asked hopefully.

Kurt was quiet, since he didn't know how to answer that question either. However, he felt that

Sebastian must know how to handle the matter once he woke up because he was a great man after

all.

“Let's dig up some black stones, Vivi. We'll do everything we can so your father will wake up

sooner.”

"Okay!" Vivian wiped her tears away and agreed to it without hesitation.

While everyone, including Sasha and the Jadesons, was worried about lan, they didn't realize that

two kids were missing. Vivian and Kurt sneaked back to the mountain, and they were determined to

get the black stones.

When they told Shin about their plan, he adamantly refused, “You guys want to get the black

stones? No way. They're in the underground lab, and do you know how dangerous that place is?

Nobody has been there before. You might put yourself in great danger.”

Shin felt guilty, since he created a whole mess the last time because he gave in. That man still hadn't

recovered, and he couldn't allow these two to go into the lab. What if they get hurt?

If they were hurt, he would not be able to explain it to Sebastian once the latter regained

consciousness.

The moment Shin refused, Vivian suddenly kneeled before him.

“Please! Just let us do this. Only Daddy can help lan, but he needs to regain his consciousness first,

or it'll be over for lan.”

"Please! We're begging you!"

Just when Shin was still hesitating, a handsome, muscular young man came in, and he kneeled

before the old monk as well.

Matteo? He came too? Vivian looked at her brother in surprise, and she held him tightly.

At the last moment, Kurt said, “Master, if you're worried about us, you can come with us. We won't

do anything rash. Of course we'll scout the whole place first before we go in.”

Eventually, Shin let out a long sigh, but he agreed to it, much to the youngsters’ delight.

They set off half an hour later, and Shin was the one who led them. They went in through the

entrance in the temple, and they made a beeline for the lab.

Since Matteo suddenly showed up, Vivian was delighted. While they were on their way to the lab,

she held his hand and kept blabbering. “What brought you here, Matt? I thought you're keeping an

eye on lan back at Oceanic Estate."q
