Ch. 1981..1990
Chapter 1981 While Malvolio and Sebastian were in a confrontation, Sabrina was persuading Isadora.
"Let me go up. г 11 go and persuade my husband. I promise to let my husband show mercy to you and your brother and never take your lives."
Sabrina was indeed thinking to do so. she wanted Sebastian to let the two siblings, Malvolio and Isadora, go. After all, Malvolio had always been very polite to her in the past few days on the island. He also did not torture Holden much either. Not to mention that Isadora had such a miserable childhood.
However, just when Sabrina had only taken two steps forward, her neck was choked by Malvolio.
"Don't come over! All of you don't come over!" Malvolio shouted as he strangled Sabrina's neck.
"Sebas-tian..." Sabrina said.
Sebastian suddenly became anxious. "Malvolio, don't act rashly! Don't do anything rash!"
"Sebastian Ford! who do you think you are? You have a family, children, and the Ford Group!
Have you thought about me? I am a desperate criminal! If you dare to take another step closer, I will immediately strangle your wife to death!" Holden suddenly strangled Sabrina tightly with his hand. 1 "Sebas..." Sabrina was so suffocated that her face had turned red.
"Malvolio!" Isadora called out to her brother behind him. At that moment, even Isadora could not figure her brother out. He kept saying that he loved Sabrina, but why was he laying his hands on Sabrina at that moment?
"Malvolio...Sabrina is still carrying a child in her belly! " Isadora called out in tears.
Malvolio sneered viciously. "Her life and the life of the child in her belly matters, then do our lives not matter? If Sebastian let US go, then Sabrina will not die! If Sebastian doesn't let US go, then Sabrina will die! If Sebastian doesn't let US go, then Sabrina has to be buried with us!"
At that point in time, Malvolio was just brushing off his sister. He was never going to let Sabrina live anymore. Everything had gone down the drain. He had planned for so long. He had taken every step meticulously. Little by little, he had accumulated weapons and opportunities for so many years. In the end, at the most critical moment, he fell at the last hurdle. Malvolio's frustration was at its peak.
Malvolio looked at Sebastian. "Sebastian Ford! You had put in so much effort to make such a deception and your purpose was to save your wife. This shows the importance of your wife to you. I could tell that you love Sabrina very much. You love your wife very much, right?"
"Let go of your hands. Let Sabrina go. г 11 give you whatever you want."
"South City! Will you give that to me?" asked Malvolio.
"Of course! I will definitely give it to you! I am a man of my words!" As long as Malvolio released Sabrina, even if Malvolio wanted his life, Sebastian would also give it to him.
"Do you love Sabrina that much?" Malvolio's jealousy was very strong.
"Let Sabrina go. You can take my life!" Sebastian said.
"I won't! I won't! I just simply won't do that! Sebastian, you son of a b*tch, you had ruined everything of mine. At this point, I already have my back against the wall, so what more would I be afraid of? I don't fear death at all! I had already thought it through. I want to die!" Holden's smile was hideous.
He looked at Sebastian with a provoking gaze. "It doesn't matter to me if I die, but I want my beloved woman to be buried together with me. Sabrina is all mine in the future, she will die together with me.
Sebastian, don't even think about being together with Sabrina in this life anymore. You can stay alive! We will die now..." 2 After saying that, Malvolio wanted to end both his and Sabrina's life with a shot.
"No..." A figure suddenly rushed over from behind and pounced on Malvolio.
Chapter 1982 As Malvolio fell over, Sabrina immediately was able to take a breath of fresh air. she had no time to see who was the one who attacked Malvolio. she ran towards Sebastian like a little girl. She had never felt her husband's chest as warm and great as that moment. She felt that it was so safe to be living by her husband's side.
"Sebastian..." Sabrina sobbed.
"Sabrina!" Sebastian hugged Sabrina tightly in his arms.
"Sebastian, am I...still alive?" Sabrina raised her head and looked at Sebastian with both her eyes welled with tears. It was a nightmare that she thought she would never wake up from.
Although Malvolio did not do anything to her and although she had been calm, composed, and not fearful, God knew how terrified she was. she was afraid that she was not able to see her man again, she was afraid that she would be forever separated from her man and her child in the lands of the living and the dead, she was always afraid all the time. However, she was reunited with her man at that moment, and that was not a dream. "You are still alive. You're still alive, Sabrina. You're still alive." Sebastian hugged Sabrina in his arms.
"Our child. Our Aino...," Sabrina asked.
"She is very well. Our Aino is like me and also like you. She had inherited both our strengths.
Our child is very brave. She is very safe now. Let's go back. You'll be able to see her soon.
Come on. We'll go back now. You need to see a doctor."
After saying that, Sebastian bent his body and wanted to carry Sabrina up in his arms. However, Sabrina's belly was too large, so it was not easy to carry.
Sebastian wanted to adjust their posture, so he put Sabrina's back towards Malvolio. A black gun barrel was right at Sabrina's back, but Sabrina did not know.
"No..." A sharp voice rang out. 1 Following that, a dull sound sounded. Sabrina was stunned. She turned around. At the same time, Sebastian also raised his head and looked behind Sabrina.
A man fell to the ground. A blood pool appeared on the front of his chest. That blood pool was spreading out slowly and started to turn a bright red.
Sabrina was stunned for a while. She did not see how Malvolio, who was holding a gun, was pinned to the ground by Sebastian's men. she also did not see how Isadora called for her brother hysterically. At that moment, Sabrina's eyes were only focused on the man laying on the ground and in a pool of blood. That man was still chained on one of his hands. His other hand was covered in blood from the wrist to the thumb. Sabrina only realized after taking a closer look that this bloodied hand had no skin and was covered in fresh blood and flesh. Also, the thumb seemed to have been broken. It was as if this hand was forcefully broken free from the chains.
That was why the entire hand had no skin on it at all and the thumb also seemed to be broken from the struggle.
That man was crawling towards Sabrina. However, every single time he crawled forward, he only moved a few centimeters.
"Sabrina...," Holden only called out one word, blood was gushing out of his mouth.
"Sabrina, you're alive...it's good that you're alive. I love you, Sabrina. I finally used my body to save your life and the life of my...my little nephew. I...really wanted to see if the child is a boy or a...girl. I really wanted to let the child...call me...Uncle..." Holden had no more energy, so he was unable to finish his final word.
Chapter 1983 Sabrina shouted in tears. "Holden Payne!"
She ran over and knelt on the ground, she wanted to help Holden up and her hands were covered in blood.
"Holden Payne, weren't you in the cabin? You..." Sabrina’s tears dripped onto Holden's face.
Holden smiled. He was indeed locked in the cabin earlier on, and both of his hands were chained up. He had heard the arrival of Sebastian, and the confrontation between Sebastian and Malvolio. Holden had been dealing with Holden for a while these days, and he knew that Malvolio was a person who never kept his words. No matter how upright, kind, miserable, and protective of his sister he once was, he was not the same anymore. Malvolio had become very reckless and very unpredictable at that moment, other than heinous crimes, Holden did not see anything else on Malvolio anymore. It was a surprise to Holden that Malvolio would fall in love with Sabrina at first sight.
Holden did not think that Malvolio could still let Sabrina go when his own life was at stake. It was impossible! That was because Malvolio was a beast! Therefore, he had forcefully broke his thumb and finally, he was able to break free. After he had broken free, only then could he get the keys at the side and barely managed to unlock the chains on the steel door. He did not even have the time to unchain his other hand before he ran out. It was such a coincidence. If he were to come out a second later, the person lying in the pool of blood at that moment would have been Sabrina. It was so mysterious, and also so frightening. However, it was lucky that all was not too late.
"Holden...you..." Sabrina sobbed, supporting Holden's head and helping him up with a great effort.
"Holden...are you silly? Your brother...had never thought of...killing you..." Sabrina was sobbing uncontrollably.
"My brother?" Holden's face became paler and paler, and he did not even have the energy to open his eyes. " I...do I have any loved ones...in this life? Do I have a family?"
At that moment, Sebastian had already arrived in front of Holden. It had already been half a year since the last time Holden escaped from South City.
Although it had only been half a year, Sebastian actually was not that familiar with this younger brother of his. At that moment when he saw his younger brother lying in Sabrina's arms, Sebastian suddenly realized that his younger brother and himself looked very similar. They were particularly similar.
Sebastian squatted down. "Holden..."
Holden opened his mouth, but he did not say anything. Sebastian spoke. "You are my younger brother. In this world, other than Sabrina and Aino, you are my third family. You are my biological brother. Mom...you have always had a place in mom's heart. The reason why she asked me to go to star Island before she died was not because of anything else, but to let me go find you..."
When he heard Sebastian say that, tears fell down Holden's cheeks. His pupil slowly dilated, and he raised both his hands, which were still in chains. His voice became weaker and weaker, and more and more lifeless. With great effort, he let out a faint voice from his mouth. "I...I just wanted a family...a family."
Chapter 1984 Sebastian was speechless. He looked at the man on the ground who was saying repeatedly, "I want a family. I just want a family. A family..."
Sebastian felt a huge lump in his throat. However, he was a man after all, so he said nothing and just held his younger twin brother tightly. Did he not also want a family? Since childhood, the only person close to him was his mother. He desperately needed his father's broad shoulders to depend on during his childhood and in his youth, but although his father loved him and gave him money to spend, his father was also so detached from him. He had never told anyone, but in fact, he had also very much wanted to enter the yard of the Ford Residence growing up and play together with his few brothers and cousins.
However, from his childhood to his youth, Sebastian never had the chance to even talk half a step into the Ford Residence.
A large part of the reason why Sebastian's nature was so cold and vicious was that he did not want others to know that he also yearned for familial relationships. He had a yearning for it. Both the brothers were sorrowful. Both of them needed a familial relationship. It was enough for them to have a family that was not too big, as long as it was secure and safe enough.
Holden's tone became softer and softer. "I...don't want to compete with you for the family fortune...! don't want to target you...I don't want to get back at you...I, I...just wanted a family.
A...family exactly like yours...! wanted...to feel...your feeling...of being loved ...by mom. I wanted...to experience...howyou felt being immersed in...a happy family, and the feeling of ...
having a daughter...and a wife... I am not trying...to fight you for it... I just wanted to...exchange my life... with you. Even if...it was just for a day..."
Holden was too weak. However, Sebastian was heavy hearted when he heard it, then large drops of tears fell onto Holden's face. Holden smiled. His smile was so strained and his eyes were already unable to open. His eyes were shut a few times, but they opened again. He did his best to say to Sebastian, "I...have never met her...Bury me...bury me...with her..."
Holden died in Sebastian's arms. Sebastian's tears soaked the front of his body. He held the head and face, which looked somewhat similar to his, tightly in his arms. "My family...another one of my family...has died. My family..." 1 Suddenly, Sebastian raised his head and shouted at the top of his lungs. "My brother...is dead!"
2 His brother had died. He was his only biological younger brother. His mother's greatest dying wish was to let me find and bring his brother back. He had searched for so long, and his brother had finally come to his side, but he died.
With tears welled up in his eyes, Sebastian looked at Malvolio, who was pinned down in the distance.
Malvolio looked at Sebastian with his bloodshot eyes and a smug smile on his lips. Isadora, who was at the side, was looking at Holden, who was lying on the ground with no signs of life to them, and her tears just gushed down her cheeks. Holden was the best and the warmest person in her thirty years of life that she desired but was forever out of her reach.
Chapter 1985 He consoled her, encouraged her to live a normal life. He even was willing to finance her for her to study abroad and then let her find a good man to marry, she did not want to marry any good man. Instead, she wanted to marry Holden. However, he died. He was shot and killed by her brother.
Isadora instantly looked at her brother with teary eyes. "Malvolio, didn't you say that.you're not going to kill Holden? Malvolio..."
Malvolio sneered. "Isadora! We've already come to this point. The more we kill the more beneficial it is to us! I didn't want to kill Holden just now. What is the point of killing Holden when he is only carrying one life with him? The person I wanted to kill just now was Sabrina! Sabrina was pregnant. Two lives would have been lost in one kill. We would have gained an extra kill that way!"
Isadora sobbed uncontrollably. "Malvolio, are you crazy? Sabrina had once saved me!"
Malvolio smiled bitterly. "I'm not crazy. Today is the day when both of US will die. Every kill counts..." Isadora was speechless.
Seeing Sebastian was walking towards himself one step after another, Malvolio, who was pinned to the ground, suddenly resisted with all his might as if that was his last desperate struggle.
Perhaps he also felt that there was no way to escape death already, so he might as well just fight Sebastian to death. He was surprisingly strong, and he actually broke free from the five men who pinned him down. He got up from the ground and charged towards Sebastian like he had gone mad!
"Sebastian, watch out! He has a gun in his hand!" Sabrina reacted quickly and called out to Sebastian. Sebastian then immediately dodged to one side.
However, just as Malvolio was about to rush to the front of Sebastian, he suddenly made a quick change of direction and charged directly at Sabrina. This man had gotten used to fighting and killing his whole life, and he truly was too cunning! He was cunning and vicious! Right at that moment when Malvolio was rushing to Sabrina, Sabrina was stunned. With her pregnant belly, she stood on the spot without even moving a muscle.
Just as Malvolio was only one step shy of rushing to the front of Sabrina, a few continuous shots had gone off behind him. Malvolio immediately fell to the ground.
"Malvolio!" Isadora shouted while rushing over and fell on top of Malvolio at once. "My brother!
Don't die! Malvolio... Why did you have to resist? Sabrina was so good to me. Why must you insist on killing her? Malvolio..."
She cried with immense hopelessness, she only had her brother as her family in this world. Her brother was the only one who loved her. Her brother has died, so what should she do in the future?
"Malvolio, why did you have to do this...Malvolio, if you admit defeat, maybe Sebastian would not kill you. Sabrina will plead for US. Malvolio..." Isadora hugged her brother, who was covered in blood, and shook him while crying. 1 Malvolio smiled. "I...I already wanted to die a long time ago."
Isadora was speechless.
"After I die, they will not do anything to you. Your crimes were not as bad as mine. I want to give you a chance to live. Follow Sabrina and turn over a new leaf. I have saved a sum of money for you abroad.
Even after you study for a few years, you'll still be quite young. Find yourself someone to marry..."
Isadora laid on top of Holden's body and wailed. " Malvolio, I don't want...I don'twant you to do this to me. Malvolio..." 1 "Listen to me and live your life well." Malvolio's tone was also getting weaker and weaker.
However, he did not have much of a desire to linger. He just looked at Isadora with an incomparably loving gaze. "I had lost the will to live a long time ago. I've had enough.
However, I didn't want to die. I still haven't sent you back to the country. I haven't given you a stable home. I still haven't moved mom's grave back from the deep mountains. I'm reluctant to accept this result."
"Malvolio..." Isadora was bawling her eyes out and shaking her head with all her might.
It was only at that point that Isadora understood that everything her brother did was all for the sake of her. It was all for the sake of letting her have a stable life and a place to call home for the rest of her life.
"After I die, you have to live your life well yourself. You can't fight and kill anymore, and you can't cry anymore, when you're alone, you have to be more careful. Do you hear me?"
Malvolio wanted to raise his hand to wipe his sister's tears for her, but he already had no strength in his hand anymore. He only managed to raise his hands halfway up before it dropped down.
"Malvolio!" Isadora suddenly shouted, and then she fainted.
Chapter 1986 "Isadora!" shouted Sabrina. Just as she was about to rush over, she was hugged by Sebastian.
Sebastian hugged Sabrina tightly in his arms. "My men will handle it."
He felt very sorry for his wife. She was pregnant and she saw two lives being lost within a few minutes. That was too cruel for Sabrina. Particularly for Holden's death. Even Sabrina was sad about that, so how could Sebastian not be utterly heartbroken?
However, no matter how much he grieved, he still had to first take care of his wife in that situation. He waved his hand, and someone in the distance pushed a wheelchair over. Sebastian carefully carried Sabrina to the wheelchair and then he put a blanket over her.
Sabrina looked at Holden with tears in her eyes. " Holden is...too pitiful."
"I know." Sebastian's voice was also very sorrowful. " I will bury him next to our mother. He had never met our mother in his lifetime. That was his regret, but wasn't that her regret as well? In the future, he will be able to accompany her by her side. I think he is happier than me." 1 Sebastian turned around and looked at his group of subordinates. "Immediately get rid of Holden's body!"
Kingston, who was at the side, asked with hesitation, "Master Sebastian, how should we handle that woman ..." Kingston was talking about Isadora.
Sebastian lowered his head and looked at Sabrina. He heard from Isadora's words earlier that Sabrina and Isadora had gotten along quite well in the past few days. Otherwise, Isadora would not have kept saying that Sabrina was very good to her.
"You and Isadora..." Sebastian asked.
Sabrina sighed, "she was a child with a miserable life. Not long after she was born, her father had an affair, then her parents got divorced. She had a half-sister and her sister's family of three were living quite well. However, when her father's fashion company had a crisis, her father, who was worse than animals, had asked her to go be with a seven-year-old man." 1 "How could this have happened?" Sebastian asked.
"This was the reason that Malvolio, who was yet to turn twenty, had killed a man." Sabrina's tone was miserable.
She glanced at Malvolio with sympathy. "To be honest, if Malvolio had arrived half an hour later that night, the ten-year-old Isadora would have been violated to death by that seventy-year-old man. That was the first time Malvolio had killed someone. That night, he had continuously killed three people, which was that old man, Isadora's biological father, and her stepmother. Malvolio also went on a path with no return since then. All these years, Isadora had had it quite tough as she followed Malvolio. She had been through many hardships and obstacles and had been wandering around. She had not even graduated from elementary school, she appears to be vulgar and vicious on the surface, but she is actually very soft hearted. She and I had suffered the same fate, and also had a different last name from our birth father. Her original name was Eira Stevens. Sebastian, just let Isadora off the hook. After all, her brother, who kills without batting an eyelid, had already died, and Isadora's crimes were not severe enough for her to be executed."
Sabrina looked at her own husband with incomparable uneasiness, she knew that the two siblings, Malvolio and Isadora, had a bone-deep grudge against Sebastian, so Sabrina also did not know if Sebastian would let Isadora go, as she might be a trouble in the future.
However, Sabrina heard Sebastian laugh lightly. " Alright. I'll do as you wish and let her go. when the time comes, г 11 buy a house for her in Kidon City and let her live her life well."
"Thankyou, dear." Sabrina said.
She then turned around and looked at Isadora. " Isadora, did you hear that? Take your brother's ashes with you, return to Kidon City, and live a good life, alright?"
Isadora nodded while crying. Life was so immensely miserable to her. However, no matter how miserable, she also had to bring her brother's ashes, as well as her mother's remains, back to Kidon City. Her brother only had one wish his whole life, which was to return to Kidon City.
Therefore, she was very grateful for Sabrina in her heart.
She cried. "Thankyou, Sabrina."
"After I've settled all of my matters, I will go visit you. Stay strong. There's still a long journey ahead of you, " said Sabrina.
Isadora nodded. "Mm-hmm."
Sabrina, who was in the wheelchair, was then wheeled off the cabin by Sebastian. All the matters on the deck were taken care of by Sebastian's subordinates.
Chapter 1987 Both Holden and Malvolio's bodies were all taken off the ship. As for Malvolio's subordinates, those with crimes that were not serious were all dispersed, and those with serious crimes and had committed numerous murders were directly handed over to the police.
That night was destined to be a sleepless night. Aino, Ruth, Yvonne, Marcus, Gloria, Jane, who had just been discharged from the hospital and Alex, who was carrying his child, as well as Zayn and his wife, were all waiting in Sebastian's house. Even Nigel, who should have been mourning in the Ford Residence, also brought Minerva over. That was because Minerva wanted very badly to know about her Uncle Holden's situation. Sebastian was very large, but it was already looking a little packed after so many people were seated in there. All of them were on pins and needles.
"Can my mom come back today?" Aino kept asking. She ran to the front up to her grandmother and asked her with an anticipating tone in one moment, and then came to the front of both Ruth and Yvonne and looked at them very uneasily at the next moment.
"Can my mom come back today?" The little girl asked this question every four minutes.
It had already been five days since she last saw her mother. That was the longest period she had been separated from her mother since birth. Seeing her Aunt Ruth, Aunt Yvonne, and her grandmother not replying to her, the little one would then have tears welled up in her eyes.
Gloria immediately hugged the child in her arms. She was her granddaughter. Gloria was not feeling any better than Aino, she had been in despair from being worried in the past few days. At one point, Gloria even thought that if Sabrina could not return alive, then she certainly could no longer live anymore, she could not lose her daughter, and she could not accept seeing her child die before her.
However, every time Gloria saw Aino, she would think to herself bitterly that if she had died, then how pitiful would her little granddaughter be? That would not do! she had to raise her little granddaughter.
Gloria hugged Aino very tightly. She wanted very badly to tell Aino, "You still have me. You still have your grandma." However, she did not say anything, she also knew that if she were to say that, then Aino certainly would bawl until she had gone mad.
Gloria just hugged Aino very tightly and then comforted her by saying, "Aino, listen to me. Your mother is the strongest mother in the world, when your mother was pregnant with you back then, she had wandered everywhere and had been on the run for six years, but she did not die. Therefore, your mother had a very strong ability to survive, she absolutely would not leave you behind. Your mom will certainly come back alive."
"That's right, Aino. Believe in your grandma. Your mother certainly will be able to come back alive. She will never be able to bear to leave you behind." Yvonne consoled Aino with a smile.
Ruth even scolded Aino. "Little one! I won't allow you to talk about your mother like this! You have to say that your mother will certainly be coming back! Your mother will certainly be able to come back! Do you understand?"
Jane looked at Aino with a gentle gaze. "Aino, you have to be strong. Do you understand?"
Aino understood everything. She could tell that everyone present was all consoling her. That was because she was the youngest, so all of them were truly taking care of her feelings. However, Aino knew it as well as the adults.
She suddenly burst into tears. "I know that my mother is in greater danger this time than any other time before. Back then, although she was on the run, my dad was not hunting her down. However, now, the person my mother is facing is a murderer..." she cried with immense hopelessness.
With each passing day, Aino got even more hopeless. The little child's cries were extremely sharp and miserable. It was absolutely heartbreaking for Sabrina when heard this voice outside the door. She pushed open the door and feigned an angry tone. "Who said I can't come back?"
Chapter 1988 Everyone in the house was stunned when they heard Sabrina's voice. Aino was the quickest to react. Her little face was still crying and was as bitter as gall, but a second later, she turned into a beaming little sun. She rushed up to her mother.
"Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom!" she kept shouting while rushing to her mother, and she knocked her mother to the ground. That was something that nobody had expected.
It was Gloria who first shouted. "Sabrina, my child... are you alright?"
Sabrina was lying on the ground with her bulging belly and was unable to get up. Then, she felt something flowing out from the inner sides of her legs. She was in a little pain, but it did not matter, she grabbed Sebastian's arm.
At that moment, Aino also regained her senses. She cried and shouted with a shrill voice.
"Mom...Mom... I'm sorry, Mom..."
Sabrina smiled. "Don't cry, baby. Quickly pull me up, I feel that I may be going into labor..."
She was going into labor! Sebastian instantly regained his senses. He suddenly squatted and held Sabrina. One of his hands was under Sabrina's legs and he could feel that there was liquid flowing out.
Among the people in the house, both Gloria and Jane were experienced. "It's amniotic fluid.
Sebastian, Sabrina is going into labor. Quickly send her to the hospital!" 1 Sebastian carried Sabrina in his arms and headed out.
"Mom, Mom!" Aino followed closely.
It so happened that Kingston had not left yet when they got out of the elevator. Seeing Sebastian come down while carrying his wife, Kingston immediately knew that she was about to give birth.
That was fortunate! It was truly great that the madam did not give birth to the baby on the island, but she managed to rush back and let Master Sebastian accompany her while she gave birth. It truly could not have been more perfect than that. 2 Kingston turned the car around and then put the back seat down. Sebastian carefully put Sabrina in the car, and then he and Aino quickly got into the car as well. The rest were tailing their car.
Minerva was a little anxious, and she kept looking at Nigel.
Chapter 1989 "Minerva, what's the matter?" Nigel asked gently.
"I...Missus Ford is very urgently about to give birth to her child, but I...I want to ask, where.Js my Uncle Holden?" asked Minerva with concern.
Nigel gently stroked Minerva’s hair. "Don't worry! Who do you think Uncle Holden is? He is Sebastian's younger twin brother. If Sebastian could bring Sabrina back, he certainly can bring his younger brother back. It's just that you also know that Holden had always had feelings for Sabrina, so it's impossible for him to follow Sabrina and Sebastian to their house. I think your uncle should be staying at some hotel now, right?"
Minerva sighed. "I hope so."
She knew her Uncle Holden's character the best. He had always been gloomy and always looked like he had a lot on his mind. Minerva had been afraid of her uncle since childhood, she always felt that he was someone who took the matter of life and death extremely lightly, so much so that Minerva had always felt that he was someone who did not want to live, but only wanted to die. However, this uncle, who had never been able to stand the sight of anyone since childhood, was the one who unexpectedly left a million dollars for her as college tuition and living expenses when he left South City. At that moment, Minerva truly treated Uncle Holden as her family.
Later on, her Uncle Holden had also called her a couple of times from abroad within half a year.
He told her not to hold back on her spending, and he had already set aside a sum for her abroad. Every time she heard her uncle saying that, Minerva would have the urge to cry. She truly wanted to tell her uncle, "Uncle Holden, just come back to South City. It's fine if you don't do anything. After I graduated from college and started working. I will support you for life."
At that moment, Minerva wondered if she would still have the chance to say that to her uncle?
She did not know if her uncle was alive or dead, she had no chance to ask. she could only follow the cars and get to the hospital together with the rest to watch Missus Ford give birth to her child.
Perhaps after Missus Ford's child was born, Mister Ford and Missus Ford would be happy, then she could ask.
The cars sped all the way and arrived at the hospital in twenty minutes. About five cars stopped abruptly with their emergency brakes on at the hospital. A man came down from the car in the forefront, and then he frantically rushed towards the gynecology department while carrying his wife, who was about to give birth. While running, he was shouting at the top of his lungs, "Doctor!
Doctor! Quickly get ready. My wife is about to give birth! Doctor!"
There was also a stumbling child following by the man's side. While the child was stumbling and running along, big drops of tears were messily gliding off her face. Just like her father, she was crying and shouting with a sharp childish voice. "Doctor! Doctor! Quickly save my mother!"
Zayn had already made prior arrangements so all the doctors, delivery bed, and everything else in the emergency room was ready. Sebastian laid Sabrina on the bed and pushed her into the delivery room.
At that moment when she was about to enter the delivery room, Sabrina suddenly grabbed Sebastian's hand. "Sebastian, is this...real?"
Sebastian shook his head and then said in a firm tone. "Don'tbe afraid!"
"Sebastian, am I about to give birth? And you...you're here in front of me?" Sabrina asked again.
Sebastian lowered his body and kissed her on her icy cold forehead. "Don't be afraid. I'm here.
I'm here!"
"Our child. My Aino...," Sabrina called out again.
"Mom. Mom, I'm here. Mom, I'm sorry..." Aino was crying uncontrollably.
Sabrina, however, smiled. "Baby, lookhow good this gift you have given me is. You had just bumped me once, and your sibling in my belly is about to come out. This is your gift to your sibling for your first meeting. After the baby is out, you and I will take care of the baby together, alright?"
Aino nodded.. "Alright, Mom. Alright."
"Be good. Don't cry anymore. I have to go in now." She looked at her child with an immense reluctance to leave her.
She did not know if she could still deliver the baby in her belly after her water had already broken. She was afraid that she could never see Aino again after taking a look at her. Sabrina was pushed into the delivery room while looking at her husband and her child with great reluctance to leave them behind.
Time seemed to be passing at a glacial pace for Sebastian and Aino, who were outside the delivery room. He was able to clearly hear the miserable screams inside the delivery room. He wanted to rush in, but he was afraid to affect the doctors' efforts.
After what seemed a century had passed, Sebastian suddenly heard a loud and clear crying of a baby.
Aino also heard it. She immediately got up and shouted excitedly. "Dad, my mom has given birth!"
Chapter 1990 Hearing Aino calling for him, Sebastian suddenly got up and wanted to rush into the delivery room. The door to the room was still tightly closed. With his heart in his mouth, he held his six- year-old daughter's hand and both of them were peering inside the room through the gap between the doorway, but they could not see anything at all.
Shortly after that, the door to the delivery room was opened.
The midwife came out witha small baby. " Congratulations, Mister Ford. It’s a little prince."
A little prince? It was a boy? 4 "My mom gave me a little brother?" Aino was so happy that she cried. 1 At that moment, Sabrina was wheeled out. Her face was as white as a sheet, her hair was drenched in sweat.
Sabrina called out weakly. "Sebastian..."
Sebastian did not pick up the child, and he did not even glance at the child. He bent and lowered his body to wrap both his hands around Sabrina. "It must have been hard on you. You've done a great job, baby. Let's not have another child anymore. Let's not have another one anymore..."
The nurses next to them were envious of Sabrina.
That was the first time they had seen a man who actually did not want his wife to have another baby because he felt sorry for her. 2 The six-year-old child was pushing her stroller with her younger brother in it behind Sebastian.
Her brother's skin was pink, and it was soft and supple. One of the little boy's eyes was opened while the other was shut, and both of his small fists were very tightly clenched. Aino stretched out her small hand to compare and learned that her brother's little face was only as big as her palm. His little face was chubby and her little pouty lips were like a small bean. Aino laughed as she looked at him.
"Hahaha! Is this my brother? My own brother?" Aino murmured as she pushed the stroller.
When they arrived in the corridor, they saw the group of friends and family who were waiting outside.
"She is out! She is out! Sabrina has given birth?" The first person to rush in was Gloria. As the grandma, she saw her eldest grandchild pushing her youngest grandchild over, so she rushed over with big strides and bent over to look at the newborn baby. 1 "Grandma, this is my brother!" Aino raised her head.
All the other friends and family also gathered over. Some checked on Sabrina's condition, and some looked at the baby. Jane, in particular, who had just given birth not long ago, knew the process of a woman giving birth the best, which was just like being a hair's breadth away from death. Therefore, just like Sebastian, she leaned over and looked at Sabrina while feeling sorry for her.
"Sabrina, it's good as long as you're safe," said Jane gently.
Sabrina did not have the strength to raise her head, so she just said weakly, "Jane, we...we have all pulled through."
"Mm-hmm! It will all get better later on." Jane nodded with a smile.
After the doctor gave Sabrina her drips, the others left. All that was left in the ward was the family of four. 3 The baby was sleeping soundly and was right by his mother’s side. Sebastian and Aino were sitting side by side on the other side of Sabrina. The moment that the family of four had truly reunited was unexpected in the hospital ward, while Sebastian and Aino were looking at Sabrina, Sabrina was also looking at them. At one moment, she touched Sebastian's blackish green stubbles, and at the next moment, she touched Aino's little cheeks. No words were spoken among the three of them, but all three of their hearts felt so warm that they were about to melt.
"This is not a dream?" Sabrina asked again weakly.
"Mom, pinch me. Pinch me." Aino leaned closer to her mother to let her mother pinch her cheeks hard.
