Chapter 1564

Daddy I Was Wrong

“Does that mean Duncan isn’t Eddie’s son? Is that what you’re trying to say?” questioned Devin with
widened eyes. I admit that I’m not as smart as Sebastian. That’s why the thought never occurred to me.
And it’s not just me; Jonathan didn’t notice anything strange with the matter either. But now that
Sebastian’s mentioned it…

“It’s definitely possible. Eddie would never have put his own son in such a dangerous position. Duncan
must’ve been brainwashed since he was a child. Devin, I need you to check the other children and see
if they were also brainwashed.”

Shocked, Devin immediately took out his phone to call Jonathan.

Sasha had remained inside the room throughout the two’s conversation. After Devin walked out, she
hurried over to the seemingly exhausted Sebastian.

“You must be tired. Quickly, lie down. You should’ve listened to me and rested instead of worrying about
these things so soon.”



Sasha then gently helped the man lie back down before taking a towel soaked in warm water to wipe the
sweat off his forehead.

Sebastian was still quite weak. After being in a coma for three years, he was going to need some time to
recover. Moreover, he had sustained permanent injuries from nuclear waves. Even though he had
regained consciousness, he still required lengthy rehabilitation treatment.





After an acupuncture session, Sebastian fell deep into sleep until the following day.

“Mommy, Uncle Devin told me that Duncan was manipulated. Is that true?” Ian asked his mother intently
early in the morning.

There was a look in his eyes showing that he was eager to get some answers.

Sasha gently patted the boy on the head. “Be patient. You can ask your father that after he wakes up,
okay?”

Left with no other choice, Ian agreed to wait in the end.

Oddly enough, the boy didn’t dare to stay too long around Sebastian ever since his father regained
consciousness. As much as he wanted to see Sebastian awake again, he was afraid that his father
would be upset with him for what he had done. What if he’s disappointed with how useless I’ve been
over the past three years?

Ian paced back and forth anxiously as he waited for his father to wake up.

At nine o’clock, when the sunlight entered the room through the window, Ian finally saw his father’s eyes
open.

“Daddy, are you awake?” inquired Ian nervously while approaching the man.

When Sebastian saw a tall and slender figure standing by his bedside, he gazed at the young man’s
face, almost identical to his own.

“Come. Help your old man get up,” requested Sebastian with a smile before extending his hand.

Even though Ian had yet to become a grown man, he had just enough strength to help his father sit up
on the bed.



Sebastian could finally take a proper look at his son after three years.

Glad to see how much Ian had grown, Sebastian patted the boy gently on the head.

“Is there something you need? I thought you left with your Uncle Devin.”

“No, it’s just that… I want to apologize to you, Daddy. I did something stupid.”

Shortly after lowering his head, Ian had tears bursting out of his eyes like a busted faucet, and they just
kept coming.

Sebastian could tell how much pain Ian was in because his son rarely cried like that.

For the first time, Sebastian put his arms around Ian to embrace the boy, who could not stop crying on
his lap. Even when Ian was young, the two rarely shared intimate moments like that.

“I don’t blame you, Ian. Nobody goes through life without making mistakes. Even though they bring us
pain and suffering, they’re necessary for growth. We live and learn; that’s just how the way it is.”

“Really?” inquired Ian, finally lifting his head to wipe off the tears.

Sebastian nodded with a gentle smile. “Take what happened to you as an example. Now that you know
what it’s like to be betrayed, you’ll be more careful next time, won’t you? I’m sure the experience has
taught you a lesson you’ll never forget. A very valuable one too, I might add.”

Like a lighthouse to a lost ship, Sebastian guided Ian and helped the boy deal with the guilt.

Sebastian had always been better at figuring out Ian than Sasha or the two Jadesons, for he knew how
much alike he and the boy were. I know what Ian’s going through right now. He just needs some
guidance. That’s all.
