His Secret Lover Returning from the Dead Chapter 1261

A Painful Decision

Sabrina’s words had enlightened Sasha. In an instant, she wiped off her tears and stood up right away.

“What are you doing?” Sabrina asked her apprehensively.

“I need to leave this place. Since Sebastian is settling a score with Eddie, I must keep mum from him about this matter so he will not be distracted. I will find a temporary place to stay and get the matter resolved first,” Sasha explained resolutely.

In a blink of an eye, it was as though she had thought it through and found a new path. The utter sorrow and helplessness in her eyes moments ago were prevailed by a hint of determination.

Sabrina was dumbfounded and asked quizzically, “What do you mean? Are you going to settle it by yourself? How do you think you can get it resolved?”

Sasha stared into the distance and mumbled, “I’m sure there will be a way out. After all, I’m a doctor myself. However, it will be a different case for him. I’m worried that he won’t be able to take it and will get worked up easily if he happens to know about it any time now. That will certainly exacerbate the situation.”

Sabrina was at a loss for words to refute her.

Undeniably, she shared the same sentiment with Sasha. That could be one of Eddie’s ploys to send Sebastian into a tizzy and weaken his stamina in fighting against him. Thus, she ended up giving in to Sasha.

After Sebastian and Devin were back from the Naval Force two days later, Sasha went to see him.

“Sebby, can I stay at Aquene Temple temporarily?” Sasha asked warily.

“Aquene Temple? Why are you thinking of going there? Don’t you feel like staying at home?” Sebastian was in bafflement.

“Take it easy. Since I’m still in my first trimester, I’m thinking of praying there for blessing. Besides, it’s getting warmer lately. Thus, the temple is a more cooling and ideal place for me throughout my pregnancy,” Sasha replied analytically.

Meanwhile, Sabrina was holding Jaena’s hands and teaching her to walk. When Sebastian was about to say something, she advanced toward them with her child.

“Yeah, good idea. Come, let’s go together. It’s a pity that poor Jaena has been having heat rashes all over her body lately. What to do? Her daddy never really cares about her. I’m going to get him to send us over.” She carried Jaena up and walked away to look for her man! It sounded as if she was helping to convince Sebastian in a way.

Meanwhile, Sebastian felt his temples starting to throb. After quite a while, he finally nodded reluctantly, giving the green light to Sasha.

Therefore, Sasha set off to the temple with Sabrina and Jaena the following day.

Shin welcomed them with open arms and arranged for them to stay in the rooms they had stayed in before. Apart from that, he kept the room next to Sasha’s empty, especially for her.

Other than going to the medical storage room in the temple every day, Sasha spent most of her time conducting experiments for her body painstakingly in that empty room. Two weeks after she had consumed the medicine delivered by Xayden from Miralaea and had acupuncture for herself persistently, she finally found that her pregnancy pulse was gone.

“S-So the baby’s gone?” Sabrina stammered alongside her with Jaena.

Even though she had foreseen the sorrowful moment ever since Sasha started consuming the medicine and having acupuncture for herself, she could not resist feeling a prickle of grief.

Needless to say, Sasha was grief-stricken. Her heart wrenched the moment she confirmed that her pulse rate during pregnancy was gone. After all, the baby was her own flesh and blood! Sadly, she could not let the embryo continue growing in her womb!

It had been no easy feat to talk herself into getting a grip on herself for the painful decision. Since she had conceived abnormally, it was wishful thinking to bear a healthy child. Thus, she had no choice but to put things to an end.

Sasha shut her eyes in distress. After quite a while, she dragged herself to the bed aside and lay down in weariness.

“Give Grayson a call. Bear in mind not to let Sebastian find out about this,” she told Sabrina.

“I know what to do.” Sabrina stepped out with tears welling up in her eyes.

A few hours later, Grayson reached hastily with two assistants, bringing his medical kit and surgery tools.

Sasha was already waiting for him in the hut outside the temple. She did not wish to cast any stain on the holiness of the temple unintentionally.

“Where is she?” Grayson asked Sabrina breathlessly.

She pointed at the big maple tree with teary eyes, gesturing to him that Sasha was in the hut.

Grayson felt a rush of complex emotions as he looked in the direction. His heart ached uncontrollably when he imagined how he had to end a baby’s life alongside the old maple tree.

By the time Grayson stepped out from the hut again, it was already more than two hours later. When an ashen-faced Sabrina was about to go over to check on Sasha, an elderly’s muffled voice sounded abruptly from her back. “Please bring this over to her.”

Sabrina turned and was surprised that Shin was just right behind her. He handed her a black singing bowl crafted with sacred words.

“Master…” Sabrina looked at him hesitantly.

“Go ahead and tell her not to dwell on the disgruntling moment. The baby’s soul will be blessed and rest in peace,” he mumbled and chanted briefly.

Sabrina recalled how Sebastian had mentioned that Shin was not a real monk as he was forced to be one.

Nonetheless, it meant no difference for Shin. The moment he made up his mind to put worldly matters out of his mind, there was inner peace within himself regardless of where he was.

Ever since Frieda was gone forever, others expected that he would not be able to get over the loss of his beloved wife for the rest of his life. Even so, things turned out the other way around.

His Secret Lover Returning from the Dead Chapter 1262

Throw Tantrum Unexpectedly

Instead of mourning endlessly for her death, Shin chose to chant for her earnestly in the temple every day. He believed that was the best he could do for her soul to rest in peace. If there was reincarnation, he wished she could embark on a peaceful journey in her next life. He hoped the best for Sasha’s poor baby as well.

It was already three days later when Sasha managed to get down from the bed again. Accompanied by Sabrina, she crouched down in front of the small mound under the maple tree and buried the cracked bloodstone in front of it.

“What is this?” Sabrina asked curiously.

Sasha smiled sorrowfully as she replied, “It’s from my Aunt Sharon. According to her, it had been shielding my mom and my uncle from risks all this while. Now, I give it to my child.”

Sabrina was rendered speechless as a wave of complex emotions crept into her heart. As a mother, she knew at once what Sasha meant. She was doing her best, blessing her deceased child’s soul.

Three days later, they received news from the Oceanic Estate. It seemed both Sebastian and Devin had frequented the Naval Force lately. Even though Sabrina was clueless about that, her gut instinct told her that there was something awry.

On the other hand, Grayson seemed to have a clearer insight into the whole matter.

While having a check-up for Sasha, he commented analytically, “Don’t you think that the despicable Eddie Limmer is manipulating to strike against the warships in the Naval Force? If that is the case, the whole military base will be in a precarious state. Not only that, the military force of other countries might take advantage of the situation and attack us at any time!”

Grayson’s point of view actually made sense. After all, he had been in a military force before and still had certain knowledge about the military base.

In an instant, Sabrina’s face turned ashen.

Sasha felt a prickle of anxiousness as something came into her mind. “Does that mean he will be striking back at any time?”

“Yeah, I guess so. Since he was badly defeated previously, and Old Mr. Jadeson is back in action, I bet he won’t dare to have any ploy on the Land Force. I foresee he is targeting the Air Force and the Naval Force instead.” Grayson continued to voice up his point of view.

“But then he doesn’t have anyone in the Air Force, does he?” Sasha responded doubtfully.

“Yeah, when Carlos dragged down Desmond Croll, the Minister of the Naval Force previously, he was actually thinking of having the whole Naval Force under his control. In other words, Eddie Limmer’s men had wormed their way into the Naval Force long ago.” Grayson was seemingly confident with his point of view.

He cast the young woman in front of him an admiring glance. Sasha certainly has a clear mind. Apparently, Sebastian has an eye for her intelligence!

Grayson’s words sent a chill down Sabrina’s spine. She did not have any clue about the military forces and political issues. Even so, she knew that the hideous man and his team would surely bring disasters to the nation once they infiltrated the national military force.

Infiltration of the national military force! How is it possible for both of them to stop all these by themselves? Sabrina shuddered at the thought.

After Grayson left, she could not hold back any longer and whined, “Damn it! That old man is apparently getting crazier. What are we supposed to do now? If the whole Naval Force is under his control, it will definitely drive the wedge among the different forces and cause civil war!”

Sasha shook her head and appeased Sabrina by uttering placidly, “Don’t worry. Both Sebastian and Devin won’t let that happen. Don’t you see how they seem to be frequenting the Naval Force? This implies that they have countermeasure in their minds.”

“Hmm, you seem to have a point.” Sasha’s words tended to tamp down her anxiety temporarily.

Apart from that, they decided not to distract the two men fighting against their foes.

Since then, both women in the temple were extra careful whenever they updated the Oceanic Estate on their latest condition. They kept the tragic loss of Sasha’s baby under wraps.

Another two weeks later, Sasha was gradually recuperating. Thus, she decided to research nuclear radiation in her previous exposure.

Assisted by Grayson, Sasha’s temporary room in the temple was well-equipped with advanced medical devices. One day, she took pictures of her own sectioned cells and sent them to Xayden, a genius in chemistry. “Xayden, this is my sectioned cells. Can you help to have a look?”

In the meantime, Xayden was scrutinizing the shattered pieces of the explosive. The moment he caught a glimpse of the picture for Sasha’s sectioned cells, there was an instant flicker of fury on his face. “Good gracious! Whoever created it is freaking crazy!”

Sasha was startled by his sudden change of tone.

“Ah! M-Mrs. Hayes, I’m sorry for overreacting. I don’t mean it.” Seconds later, Xayden came to himself and back to his usual gentle self again.

Strangely, there were unknown figures all over the notebook next to him. Nonetheless, it seemed he was not solely analyzing the explosive.

Apparently, he had listed all the substances of the explosive one by one and restructured them instead. On top of that, he had added other chemical symbols to his note. At that very moment, he looked like a weirdo in the sci-fi movies.

At the same time, Matteo was peeping through the slit of the door and broke out in cold sweat.

“What is he researching now? Is he planning to turn the tables on anyone again?” he gasped.

“Could it be megalodon?” Ian asked casually from behind him.

It was natural for him to draw speculation based on the incident two days ago. Vivian was craving lobsters on that day. When trying to catch lobsters from the sea, she was hurt by one of their pincers.

His Secret Lover Returning from the Dead Chapter 1263

Surprisingly, they found lobsters all over the whole shore the next day. It was such an overwhelming scene when the creature were all rushing ashore abruptly. Subsequently, the fishermen nearby were on top of the world and huddled over to collect them. Besides, he and his two siblings ended up having lobster meals for quite a few days. Not to mention, they had not finished eating the lobsters yet.

Days ago, a megalodon emerged when Xayden was swimming in the sea, scaring him to death. Thus, Ian was almost sure as h*ll that he intended to avenge the megalodon by wiping off its species.

Matteo could not utter any words as he had the same stance as Ian.

After wiping off the cold sweat from their foreheads, the two brothers went down to the living room.

Little did they realize that Xayden, whom they defined as a horrendous and vengeful weirdo, had come up with the analysis of their mother’s sectioned cells. “D*mn it! That old man’s nuclear waves are getting more destructive. It even resembles a plague now!”

“A plague?” Sasha turned pale hearing the phrase.

“Why did you say so? Have you discovered anything?” she asked anxiously.

Xayden responded, “Yeah, it seems your body cells did not shrivel. Something seemed to have destroyed the membrane cells, then slowly devoured the whole cell. Doesn’t this sound like a virus invasion?”

“Radiation from the nuclear weapon is supposed to cause direct destruction in a short span. It will never go through this process slowly. You can refer to a few nuclear explosions in world history,” he explained further while getting down from the lab table to search for a book from the shelf.

In an instant, Sasha was panic-stricken. I can’t believe that it resembles a plague! It was just an explosive strapped onto my body, wasn’t it? How on earth did it turn into such a horrifying thing?

“I’m sure there’s an expert alongside him. Mrs. Hayes, no matter what, you must get Mr. Hayes to dig him up as soon as possible. If not, I fear that the lunatic will stir up troubles with his crazy inventions again,” Xayden reminded Sasha over the phone.

Undoubtedly, a genius with incredible expertise in the field like him would not easily describe the opponent’s creations as something horrendous.

Even so, Sasha’s heart sank when he described the person as a lunatic. It implied that even Xayden was feeling threatened in a way. Her face fell as she hung up. She could not resist having a premonition that something terrible was going to occur.

Coincidentally, Sabrina pushed open the door and was startled by the utter grimness on her face. “What’s the matter? Even Xayden can’t think of any way to get it resolved?” she asked with great concern.

Sasha tried to console her by explaining in brief, “No, he actually reminded me about something else. According to him, the condition seems to be unusual and resembles a plague. Thus, he advised me to get Sebastian to dig up the person who is inventing the nuclear weapon alongside Eddie.”

Sabrina’s eyes widened in disbelief. Dig up the man alongside that despicable old man? How are we supposed to do that when we don’t have any clue about his whereabouts! What’s more, he will surely keep his lips buttoned about the person. What can we do?

Both Sasha and Sabrina felt dejected as another wave of helplessness swept over them.

At the same time, Ian clenched his fists as he eavesdropped on Xayden’s conversation with Sasha. Oh no! Something has happened to Mommy! It’s because of that wicked man again!

He was boiling with anger and could barely wait to be by Sasha’s side. Poor Mommy! How I wish I could protect her and capture that wicked man to avenge her!

Mommy is still pregnant with our baby brother or sister, yet that wicked man had the heart to inflict harm on her! Ian shuddered in exasperation with utterly murderous intent in his eyes.

Recalling how Xayden reminded Sasha to dig up the man alongside Eddie, he went back to his room right away and flipped open his laptop, which Sebastian exclusively bought and installed the advanced apps for him.

Without hesitation, he hacked into Xayden’s computer to obtain a copy of his newly analyzed information and data obtained from the leftover of the explosive.

Next, he accumulated all the information and uploaded a copy to the dark web.

The dark web was defined as internet sites hidden under usual websites. One could access anything inaccessible from the usual websites there, including the illegal contents. Not to mention, top hacking skills were the key to managing the dark webs.

He had just posted an announcement on the bounty for the invention of nuclear weapons, hoping to lure the culprit who invented the explosive. Soon after, Matteo entered his room.

Sensing Ian was occupied with something, Matteo sat next to him and asked inquisitively, “Ian, what are you doing?”

It never crossed his mind that Ian would have posted a notice with bounty to an unknown website which he had never seen before. To his astonishment, the offered amount was even more than ten million!

“Ian, what is this for?” Matteo asked quizzically.

“Matt, listen carefully to me. Daddy and Mommy are in hot waters again. In fact, they could be in a life-and-death situation. Therefore, we must come to their rescue by all means.” Ian had never sounded as stern as how he was at the moment.

In an instant, Matteo straightened his back and responded solemnly, “All right. What do you want me to do?”

“I overheard Xayden telling Mommy on the phone that there was only one way for them to defeat that despicable old man. According to him, Daddy must dig up and get rid of the guy who created the nuclear weapon. Hence, I have just hacked into his computer and posted the related data obtained to this dark web,” Ian explained patiently.

“That’s why you posted the notice on the bounty to dig up the person?” A quick-witted Matteo knew at once what was playing on Ian’s mind.

Ian nodded at him admiringly. “Yeah, typical outlaws like them must have assisted that despicable old man in committing crimes. Thus, I believe it’s just a matter of time before we can detect anything.”

“Oh! I get what you mean now!” Matteo also took out his laptop and sat facing Ian.

His Secret Lover Returning from the Dead Chapter 1264

Salute To The Boys

Matteo’s expertise in the field was as impressive as Ian’s. Soon, he accessed the dark web as well with his own laptop. Miraculously, both laptops accessing it simultaneously had the same domain name displayed.

At the moment, both Ian and Matteo’s eyes were glued to the screens of their laptops.

As expected, someone fell into Ian’s trap of the attractive bounty and started getting in touch with them by sending them a message.

“Matt, try to trace his IP address!” Ian instructed Matteo to trace the person’s exact location while he figured out how to reply to the message.

Anonymous: Hi, nice to hear from you. Are you looking for someone inventing nuclear weapons?

The person who texted them sounded like a veteran in the field. Stifling the simmering excitement within himself, Ian only replied to his message after pondering for quite a while.

Black: Yeah! Do you know how to create nuclear weapons? I don’t mind about the price. As long as your invention meets our requirements, we can enter into a long-term collaboration with each other.

Anonymous: Yes, I have expertise in this. When do you need that?

Ian was astounded by the person’s speedy reply. This person seems to know well about this explosive!

He looked at Matteo, only to find that his brother had managed to trace the person’s IP address.

“It’s an IP address in Moranta. After double-checking, I find out it’s at the most active trade center for the black market. Should we inform Daddy about this finding?” Matteo asked for Ian’s opinion.

Even so, Ian shook his head. “Since Daddy is busy at the moment, don’t let him know about this for the time being. Let’s proceed with our investigation and gather more evidence first.”

“Then what are we supposed to do now?” Matteo asked helplessly.

“Let’s get help from Mr. Frost. It seems he has been recuperating after his previous injury. I guess he has started to get bored and keeps bothering Xayden. Hence, I feel we can assign him this task.” Ian brought up his idea.

Undoubtedly, Ian was the one who resembled Sebastian the most in terms of his observance and intelligence.

In the meantime, Karl was basking in the sun in SteelFort idly. Watching paint dry, he was thinking of whether he should kill time by teasing Xayden as usual. His eyes lit up when he received the boys’ message on the culprit who invented the nuclear weapon.

“My goodness! Is this true?” When the chat history and the person’s current location came into view, he sprang up from the chair in awe.

The other two team members accompanying him were flabbergasted.

“Mr. Frost, what’s the matter? Did you receive any great news from Mr. Hayes?” one of the team members asked out of curiosity.

“Mr. Ian and Mr. Matteo had just sent me a message. My goodness! Both of them are awesome! They managed to dig up the person who created nuclear weapon alongside Eddie Limmer!” Karl yelled out incoherently.

The two team members were over the moon and huddled over right away.

They never doubted Ian and Matteo’s intelligence, but it was incredible that both of them could help under such circumstances. In short, they were impressed by the two boys’ efficiency and capability.

Karl could barely wait to set off to Moranta at once.

Nevertheless, both the team members tried to talk him out of leaving SteelFort at once. “Mr. Frost, you can’t leave now. Mr. Hayes instructed us not to let you go out. You haven’t fully recovered.”

“That’s bullsh*t! Don’t ever get on my nerves! I’m fit as a fiddle now. Let me tell you, Mr. Ian and Mr. Matteo will not look for me if they can get anyone else to help them. Apart from that, we haven’t gotten any news from Mr. Hayes till now. If they can think of anyone else who can help them, don’t you think that both of them will notify their daddy first instead of seeking my help, huh?” Karl lashed out at them and explained analytically.

Both of them zipped their mouths at once and had to agree with Karl. Undeniably, it was a special mission that could only be assigned to a trustworthy person.

Eventually, Karl left SteelFort and headed for Moranta right away with some of the most well-trained team members.

Once Ian was notified about that, he linked his laptop with Karl’s smartphone.

Later, he gave Karl a call to inform him about it. “Mr. Frost, you don’t have to worry. I have linked all the surveillance cameras at that trade center of the black market to your smartphone. Hence, you will be able to trace anything amiss at any time.”

After that, Karl clicked open his smartphone as he made his way toward the airport.

Right that instant, he could not resist saluting both Ian and Matteo. Good gracious! They are both geniuses!

On the other hand, Sasha was also trying to dig up the person by leaving no stones unturned. Even so, she was not solely thinking of stopping him from inventing the destructive weapon.

More importantly, she needed to look for him to save her life.

“You are having a nosebleed!” Sabrina yelled out abruptly when she was having breakfast together with Sasha. Her heart skipped a beat as blood flowed out from Sasha’s nose all of a sudden.

Sasha wiped it off immediately with a tissue and consoled her, “Don’t worry. It is a common symptom of the early stage. After all, there is still sufficient time for me to find a way out.”

Sabrina’s heart ached at the sight of her endurance. She could scarcely hold herself back from revealing everything to Sebastian, telling him to find ways in order to save his dying wife.

Tamping down her agitation, she refrained from doing so, recalling how Sasha had emphasized earlier that they were not supposed to distract Sebastian. Feeling sympathized with Sasha, she could only fulfill her requirements by all means.

“Sab, how about we go down to the cave again to have a look?” Sasha asked Sabrina eagerly.

“Huh?” Sabrina was dumbfounded. So she is still insisting on going down into the cave! Wasn’t it ruined after the destructive explosion?

His Secret Lover Returning from the Dead Chapter 1265

Sabrina passed her child for Shin to look after and left with Sasha without a word.

As expected, when they arrived at the underground cave, everything was destroyed.

Hence, the duo started searching the underground cave.

Sabrina commented, “There’s nothing here. A cunning person like Eddie will not leave any clues behind.”

Having been in this together with Sasha for some time now, she was able to deduce some logic from the situation.

Sasha frowned.

Sabrina was right. However, as smart as Eddie could be, there must be some clues that he left behind inadvertently.

Sasha stood there and tried to solve the mystery. Suddenly, she thought of the ice cellar. “Right, let’s take a look in the ice cellar.”

Ten minutes later, they showed up at the ice cellar.

Fortunately, the ice cellar was located underground. The last explosion did not shatter the place as it was sheltered from the impact.

Sasha held on to torchlight and walked in the entrance. She swiftly located the ice cellar that she and Edmund previously discovered.

Sabrina followed her from the back, shivering at the sight of the scene. “The corpse lying there is really Louis?”

Sasha answered while searching the place. “Yes. This is where we found his secret. Since he hid his brother’s corpse here, there must be something else.”

Sabrina also helped her to look around.

After searching high and low, Sasha finally discovered something. “It appears to be some notebook scraps that were not destroyed completely.”

Sabrina shined the torchlight at the scrap papers and confirmed Sasha’s findings.

Indeed, it was some scrap pages of a burnt notebook.

However, Sasha was confused as the handwriting did not belong to Eddie. She knew that for a fact because she had seen his notebook before.

Sasha collected all the scrap pages and started piecing them together. “The North Sea, it appears to say so.”

“Yes, there’s even a map. Check it out.” Sabrina pointed to the part that she formed.

A few minutes later, they managed to form a comprehensible picture.

Sasha uttered, “It is regarding the strategy for the North Sea War.”

Sabrina nodded. “Right!”

Next, she took up a piece of scrap paper which appeared to be some sort of a map, marked with a red dot.

She recalled the lessons in history and asked, “The North Sea War is a famous piece of history. If it weren’t for the war, the new government would not be formed. And this war was led by the famous leader, Louis Limmer. Does the handwriting belong to him?”

Sasha shook his hand, “Of course not. Eddie mentioned before that he was the strategist behind Louis. If indeed the war was led by Louis, Eddie would be the person writing off the notebook.”

“You are right,” Sabrina recalled the conversation.

If it does not belong to Louis, who else can it be?

“Hold on. Check this out, what do you think this is?” Sasha suddenly noticed something on the scrap pages.

Sabrina immediately looked towards it.

She noticed a signature at the end of the page. Some people had such a habit of putting their name down as a signature. That was likely the case.

They saw the word ‘dith’.

Judith?

Can it be… Judith?

The duo widened their eyes in shock and looked at each other.

Sabrina exclaimed, “This belongs to your grandmother?”

Sasha did not reply.

At that moment, the discovery stirred up rippling emotions within her.

If the notebook belongs to my grandmother, does that mean that she is the leader of the North Sea War?

Why is her notebook here? Why is it burnt?

Besides, what does the red dot mean?

Overwhelmed, Sasha stared mindlessly at the scrap pages. She then turned away and started frantically searching the ice cellar again.

Sabrina quickly assisted her.

Finally, to their pleasant surprise, they found some writing on the singlet worn by Louis.

‘Dear descendants, when you discover this letter, I believe I have passed on for a long time. As a failed leader, I am extremely regretful for causing the upheaval in the country. I am ashamed and have disappointed all my comrades. I, Louis Limmer, am guilty!’

These words were written on the front of the singlet.

His Secret Lover Returning from the Dead Chapter 1266

A well-celebrated hero in history and the founding father of the country, publicly admitted his guilt after death!

Sasha’s heart skipped a beat with a cascading surge of uneasiness.

‘Firstly, the North Sea War is planned by Judith, not me. Secondly, Judith’s sacrifice is not an accident. Her death is carefully orchestrated and she died in the North Sea. Thirdly, the murderer is my brother, Eddie. Fourthly, if I lose in this war, to the person who finds my body, please visit the Golden Heights. Eddie can be found there!’

Every sentence and letter scripted on the singlet was groundbreaking news.

No one would have thought that the founding father of a country would need to resort to such methods to prosecute his brother!

He must have ran out of options then.

Comparatively, the subsequent messages at the back of the singlet were a brief summary of Eddie’s crime. The cause and explanation were omitted.

Evidently, his time to put the message in writing was short.

Sasha trembled violently.

She had never thought that her grandmother, a hero that sacrificed everything for the country, was murdered in cold blood by a nasty person like Eddie.

“Eddie, I will chop you into pieces!” Sasha screamed.

Tears started streaming down her cheeks. She held on to the singlet tightly, her fists clenched together and her veins bulging with force.

Sarbina was similarly infuriated.

Two hours later, the duo finally brought the singlet and the scrap papers back to the temple. Without any hesitation, Sasha informed Sebastian immediately.

It was the first time that she took the initiative to contact him since she came to the temple.

In the evening, a black SUV arrived.

Sasha and Sabrina were waiting at the entrance. Upon seeing the car, she touched her slightly bulging belly.

Nervousness loomed large.

Sabrina narrowed her eyes at the sight of her bulging belly.

Screech!

Before Sabrina had a chance to speak, the car went to a halt right in front of them.

“Why are the two of you standing here? It’s windy outside!” The men that exited the car worriedly rushed towards them.

Naturally, they were concerned about them. One was pregnant, while the other was carrying a child. Both were standing in wait in the chilly breeze.

“Daddy…” The loving family of three reunited.

The little child who had just learned to pronounce the word ‘daddy’, cheered in excitement at the sight of Devin.

Sabrina also embraced him affectionately.

Very quickly, the family of three headed in.

Sasha was also hugged by her partner. Just as Sebastian wanted to feel the baby bump, she stopped him in his tracks.

“Not now, the baby is not fully formed yet. If you were to touch him, he will not behave,” replied Sasha. Although feeling devastated, she had to act as if nothing happened.

Fortunately, Sebastian was occupied and distracted.

Besides, the constant traveling took a toll on him.

This time, he was not suspicious.

When they entered the temple, Shin was already waiting for them. Almost immediately, he passed the singlet and the scrap pages to them.

“I did not notice these previously. The place which stored Louis’ corpse was a prohibited zone,” Shin explained in brevity the reason for the blunder.

However, Sebastian gazed at him before carefully analyzing the items.

It’s a prohibited zone for a reason. I’m not surprised that he could not enter the place! If he could, that will be mind-blowing!

However, even without the recent discovery, Shin had earlier determined that the mastermind behind the North Sea War was Judith, but not Eddie. Evidently, he was extremely intelligent.

Sebastian uttered, “If this is the case, we can conclude that Louis’ death was not due to natural causes.”

“I agree!” Devin replied while scrutinizing the scrap pages.

He then nodded in agreement.

Sabrina said, “What does the message mean? Is there a secret in Golden Heights?”

Sasha was speechless.

Devin kept quiet as well.

Even Sebastian could not figure out the answer.

He had previously searched the Golden Heights when the arrest warrant was issued against Eddie. As Eddie’s previous place of residence, there was no way it would be left unchecked.

However, there was nothing peculiar there at that time.

Sabrina continued to ask, “Perhaps we missed out on something at that time?”

“No, I think he does not mean it literally. It’s not that we have to search the Golden Heights again, but we must look into the bloodline of the Limmer family.” Suddenly, Shin who kept quiet all the while uttered something enlightening.

Bloodline of the Limmer family?

The four of them looked towards him.

His Secret Lover Returning from the Dead Chapter 1267

The bloodline must mean the descendants of the Limmer family.

Sebastian stayed over in the Aquene Temple that night. “Darling, when are you coming home?”

He lay exhaustedly on the bed. Upon hearing the sound of running water, he looked towards Sasha and popped the question.

Sasha was cleaning the towel when that question was asked. She curled her fingers in frustration.

She wished she could go back home too.

However, it was not the right time.

She twisted the towel dry and brought him a bowl of soup. “I still want to stay here for a while. Aren’t you always out? If you’re not around at home, it’s pointless for me to come back. It’s better if I stay here to conduct some research on that old b*stard.”

She ended up acting coquettishly to avoid going back.

Apparently, it worked like magic on Sebastian. Gazing at her wife, he abruptly held out his hands in an attempt to embrace her.

“Ahhh!” Sasha avoided him right away. “What are you doing? I’m holding a bowl of soup!”

“Hey…” Sebastian helped her put away the bowl of soup.

“I only want you now. It’s been four months…” He mischievously looked at her while his hands inched closer to her body.

Indeed, it was a very long time. Ever since she was pregnant, they had not been intimate. Even when they slept together, sex was off-limits.

Sebastian felt an irresistible urge to tear off her clothes and get on top of her.

However, overwhelming dizziness struck him out of the blue and his strength seeped away.

“Are you okay?” Sasha worriedly asked.

“I’m alright.” Sebastian shook his head and shrugged off the feeling.

After regaining his senses, he looked at Sasha again.

Perhaps he was simply too exhausted.

He thought to himself.

However, when he tried to embrace her again, he lost the energy and strength to sustain the enthusiasm.

Is it because of my recent visit to the Nuclear Submarine?

Will it affect the child?

The alarming thoughts flashed by his mind.

“Sebby?” Sasha asked again.

“Don’t worry about it. I think I’m just too tired. Let’s rest.” He lay back down after consoling her.

Sasha heaved a sigh of relief.

After having the bowl of soup, the couple lay down on the bed together.

Shortly after, Sebastian fell into a deep sleep. After realizing that, Sasha opened her eyes and stared at the dark.

She then slowly hugged him from the side.

“I’m sorry, Sebby,” she whispered in his ears.

Her fingers started massaging his neck.

“Mmhmm…” Sebastian who was deep asleep let out a soft grunt at the disturbance.

Sasha pressed her face against him and reduced the force of her delicate fingers.

She massaged him in a gentle manner. “Darling, don’t worry about it. Everything will become better.”

The next day.

Sebastian and Devin left early in the morning.

Sabrina anxiously rushed towards Sasha to check on her. After knowing that she was not noticed by anyone, Sabrina felt relieved.

She muttered, “Not sure what we can find in the Golden Heights.”

Sasha frowned at the thought.

However, as she stared at the fleeting car from the top of the mountain, Sasha was surprisingly calm. The boulder of stress that previously consumed them felt lifted.

She finally found a glimmer of hope.

Two hours later, at the Golden Heights.

Sebastian stepped into the old structure with Devin following closely behind.

They were extremely cautious, knowing that Eddie was a cunning and ruthless person and god knows if he had set up any traps there.

Devin remarked, “There’s nothing here. What does Uncle Shin mean by the bloodline of the Limmer family?”

As they couldn’t find anything, Devin started to feel irritated.

They dropped everything in the Naval Force and came all the way here. If it turned out to be a futile exercise, that would be devastating.

It must be borne in mind that the matters in the Naval Force require undivided attention.

“It should mean the descendants of the Limmer family. Just focus on the search of their family records,” replied Sebastian calmly.

Family records?

Devin was stunned.

At this moment, Devin came to a sudden realization that the family records were indeed missing from their sight.

Hence, he started looking again.

His Secret Lover Returning from the Dead Chapter 1268

Unable to get their hands on the official record even after spending a few hours searching the residency, he muttered, “It’s odd! Has someone else retrieved it ahead of us?”

Devin recalled the residency was once opened to the public as the founding father’s official residency.

Sebastian shook his hand and asserted, “Since it’s clearly mentioned in Louis’ will, I’m sure it’s still here. He must have hidden it somewhere.”

They let out a long sigh and continued searching the residency to get their hands on it.

When they thought they were about to embark on another tedious journey, Sebastian found something suspicious in the painting down the hallway.

Devin dashed forward and returned with something after a few minutes. They finally found the official record of the Limmer family.

While Sebastian started perusing it, Devin was on the lookout to ensure his safety just in case they weren’t the only ones there.

All of a sudden, the observant man caught a glimpse of a silhouette in the dark. He yelled, “Who is it?”

Once Sebastian turned around, he found out Devin was nowhere to be seen next to him anymore.

Devin had rendered the mysterious figure incapable of motion, asking at the top of his lungs, “Who are you? What are you doing here?”

They had never seen the young man around the residency. On top of his neat appearance, his nails were well-trimmed.

Sebastian joined the duo and instructed after observing the mysterious figure for quite some time, “Try smelling his fingers.”

Huh?

The confused Devin looked at Sebastian in the eyes before reaching for the hand of the shrieking figure to take a whiff.

Startled by the strong scent coming from the fingers, Devin announced, “There’s a strong scent of disinfectant!”

Sebastian nodded and explained, “If I’m not mistaken, the one in charge of developing nuclear weapons is a doctor. Do you remember I’ve instructed Grayson to investigate the doctors of the hospital?”

Devin was confused even when Sebastian had gone to great lengths to help him link the missing pieces of puzzles together.

I’m also a freaking commander of the special forces, but I feel so dumb whenever he’s around me! It feels as if I’m not a match for him in terms of intelligence!

How has he figured out the one in charge of the development is a doctor? Is this mysterious figure the only one he needs to link the missing pieces of puzzles together?

As confused as Devin might be, Sebastian was spot on because Karl, who had long made his way to Moranta, finally found the mysterious figure according to the intel Matteo and Ian gathered.

The mysterious figure got in touch with someone from Jadeborough as soon as he returned to his safe house.

“What the h*ll? How dare he send someone as vicious as such to Jadeborough?”

Those from SteelFort, including Karl, started cursing when they found out the truth.

Without a second thought, they sent Sebastian the IP address of the research personnel.

Immediately after Sebastian got his hands on the information he needed, he moved out to take the said personnel into custody.

He showed up at the hospital with fully armed forces and took Grayson by surprise because the said research personnel was someone beyond their expectation.

She was the most famous gynecologist of the hospital, the one in charge of Sasha’s check-up throughout her pregnancy.

Grayson was heartbroken because she was there ever since the day he joined the hospital. He ended up stuttering when he figured out the truth, “H-Helen, how is that possible! S-Since when—”

What’s going on? Why has she chosen to work for the evildoer? Why on earth is she doing his biddings?

Helen was relatively calm; she must have long foreseen others confronting her a long time ago. She remarked in a callous tone, “What’s wrong? Am I not allowed to swear my allegiance to others when you’re loyal to the Jadesons? Once he made it to the throne, it’s your turn to suffer!”

She showed no signs of remorse and thought it wasn’t a big deal since it was only a matter of time until others arose to the throne.

Overwhelmed by wrath, Grayson ended up shivering in front of others.

It was then Sebastian asked, “You’ve sworn allegiance to him, but has he ever thought of including you and your family as members of the White House once he arose to the throne?”

He seemed to have hit on her sore spot because her expression darkened seconds after she heard him.

Sebastian added, “Has he honored his promise of promoting your son as his aide? You’re merely one of his many pawns, but you took his words seriously because of the promise he made to the Durant family. Unfortunately, you’re the only surviving member of the family. Am I wrong?”

He finished his sentence nonchalantly because he couldn’t care less about the things awaiting the woman in front of him.

The Durant family?

Those in the room, including the person of interest, turned around with looks of disbelief and thought it was one of Sebastian’s attempts to lure the mastermind out of hiding.

The woman was the only one losing her cool when she couldn’t be bothered by the man’s harsh remarks a few minutes ago.

His Secret Lover Returning from the Dead Chapter 1269

Send My Regards To Your Wife

“What do you mean? What does this have to do with the Durant family? Stop making things up!”

Sebastian asked in a callous tone, “Are you sure you’re not aware of the things I’m talking about as the sole successor of the Durant family, Felicity?”

In order to stop the woman from going berserk, he started emanating an intimidating presence to keep her in check.

Silence fell once again as the rest in the office, including Grayson, wondered if they had been hearing things when Sebastian repeated himself for another time.

Hasn’t the woman by the name of Felicity from the Durant family passed on two decades ago?

She was Alfred’s girlfriend! She paid me a visit when she was pregnant! However, she disappeared into thin air out of the blue! When Janice found her, she told the rest Felicity was dead!

Just what the heck is going on? Why has she shown up in the hospital as a visiting physician for so many years?

The woman had no intention to confess just yet. She yelled, “Stop making things up! You’re merely trying to hold me accountable for the things someone else has done! I’m Helen!”

Sebastian sneered and beckoned Devin to show her hands to the rest in the office.

“See? Although you’re a doctor, as a member of the Durant family, the way you carry yourself as a doctor is different from the rest! It’s the same for Janice!”

When everyone turned around and looked at the hand of the experienced surgeon, her delicate-looking hand surprised them.

Usually, there would be wrinkles all over the hands of an experienced surgeon, but that wasn’t the case for Helen.

The equally experienced Grayson muttered to himself, “How is that possible? Just look at my hands!”

It was then Sebastian announced, “It’s one of the special techniques of the Durant family! They’re able to conduct surgical operations using just one hand! Therefore, only one of her hands is affected!”

Once again, silence fell in the office as colors started draining from the face of the woman. She stammered, “S-Since when have you figured out my actual identity? Weren’t you at Golden Heights in the morning?”

“You shouldn’t have sent your men to go after us! When he showed up, I saw the name of Juliet in the official record of the Limmer family!”

Juliet?

When Sebastian brought up someone else out of the blue, the rest in the room felt confused all over again.

Devin turned around and asked with his brows arched in confusion, “How is this person related to whatever’s going on?”

“Juliet is Eddie’s aunt! She was married to someone from Xenhall! In other words, she’s also the aunt of Janice and Felicity! You know Eddie’s going to do everything it takes to make the most out of his pawns, don’t you? Do you think he’s going to leave the famous Durant family alone when they’re quite influential in Xenhall?”

The woman with a pale and haggard look closed her eyes as she knew it was over for her.

She was none other than the woman others thought had passed on two decades ago.

When the pregnant woman showed up at Jadeborough, Alfred dismissed her after rising to power.

He took her into custody against her will because he was afraid she would leverage on his successor to bring upon his downfall in the future.

Initially, she thought of returning to Xenhall immediately after delivering her child. To her surprise, the man sent someone to take her son away from her.

As a result, she thought it was time to put an end to her miserable life and tried committing suicide. However, someone rushed to her rescue in the nick of time and brought her back to life.

“Was it Eddie or your idea to send your son to the Sheerwood family?”

She guffawed and announced with a vicious smirk, “It was mine! It was one of my attempts to get my revenge against the shameless man! I want him to feel the pain and sorrow of having his son bringing upon his undoing!”

The woman was no longer in her right mind. She swapped Isaac, her biological son, with others just to get her revenge.

It wasn’t much of a surprise to figure out the maniac was the one bringing upon the demise of the Durant family, including Janice and Kingston.

Sebastian warned her, “You’re going to bear the consequences of your actions in the near future!”

Scowling, the vicious woman turned around and asked, “Oh? What about you, Sebastian? Isn’t your wife on the verge of dying as well? Are you aware she has miscarried? I’m the one who made her pregnancy a success because it’s going to take a toll on her system!”

Grayson’s eyes widened in disbelief. He thought of rushing over to stop her from provoking Sebastian, but he was too late.

The young man next to her had reached her, asking at the top of his lungs, “Come again? What have you done?”

“Can’t you hear me? Aren’t you aware she was never pregnant? She’s merely the vessel of my experiment! The thing inside her was the outcome of my hard work! I’ve always wondered if it’s going to turn out fine! To my surprise, it turns out just fine!”

Unable to keep his cool any longer, he yelled, “To h*ll you go!”

He took over the gun of the armed forces next to him and took aim at the woman in front of him.

His Secret Lover Returning from the Dead Chapter 1270

“Sebastian, you need to calm down!”

In the nick of time, Devin rushed over and stopped Sebastian from trying anything rash because he knew it was an attempt of the woman to provoke Sebastian into killing her.

She knew she couldn’t afford to be imprisoned by others. Therefore, she had to hit on the man’s sore spot. In other words, it was Sasha’s pregnancy.

Since this vicious woman’s the one behind Sasha’s pregnancy, she’s the only one capable of reversing whatever’s done!

Devin tried to stop irrational Sebastian from going berserk, but he was too late.

Once Felicity figured out Devin had seen through her plan, she reached for the watch on her wrist and ignite the portable device of hers.

Devin yelled with his eyes widened, “Move out of the office at once!”

He jumped aside with Sebastian in his arms immediately after he warned the rest to evacuate.

Bam!

A thunderous crack filled the scene shortly after the heavy blow sent some flying out of the window.

“H-Help me!”

Unable to run away in time, Grayson was blown away as well. Thankfully, he managed to hold on to something in the nick of time.

The heavily injured man yelled for help when he was drenched in blood.

“Hold on and try climbing up!”

Thankfully, Devin was around. He braced himself through the racking sensation and rushed to Grayson’s rescue once he returned to his senses.

Meanwhile, it took Sebastian a few seconds to snap out of confusion. Once he sat upright, he surveyed the surroundings and found out everything was in a mess.

There were casualties everywhere. A few of the armed forces he brought along seemed to have passed out.

Unsure if they were still alive or not, he clenched his fist in angst.

“Sebastian, are you fine?” Devin, who had returned after checking on the casualties, asked as he was afraid something was wrong with Sebastian since his face was soaked in blood as well.

On top of that, there were wounds on his arms. Had Devin failed to jump aside with him in the nick of time, he might end up like the unconscious ones around them.

“Sebastian?”

After a short while, Sebastian muttered to himself, “What have I done?”

Devin wasn’t sure if he was supposed to answer Sebastian’s query. In the end, he tried to bring him up and sent someone to take him home.

All of a sudden, Sebastian rushed in the direction of the doctor’s office in spite of the mess. He started searching high and low as if there was something he desperately needed.

“Sebastian!” Unaware of the things Sebastian was up to, Devin went after him to ensure he was safe.

Sebastian wouldn’t stop going through the pile of rubble when most of the documents, including the computer, had been destroyed.

What is he looking for? Is he trying to get his hands on the outcome of the vicious woman’s hard work?

Instead of stopping him, Devin instructed the ones available to join Sebastian to acquire the things they might need.

Sebastian had long foreseen Felicity committing suicide. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought the armed forces along with him.

Devin was glad they were well equipped with riot control equipment. That was precisely the reason the damage was minimal.

Felicity was able to get the better of him because she had hit on his sore spot at the end of the confrontation.

Sebastian spent quite some time trying to gather the information he needed. However, his effort was to no avail since medical records of the patients of the hospital were the only things available.

There’s no way she’s going to leave something as important as such here when she’s here undercover! I must have lost my mind!

Sebastian knew he needed to stop wasting his time. He fell into a vicious cycle of despair and staggered.

“Sebastian—”

Devin rushed over to his rescue and stopped him from falling.

“Are you okay? You need to calm down! We’ll try our luck somewhere else since there’s no way she’s going to leave the things we’re looking for here!”

Is that really the case? I’m afraid not because Eddie is on par with Sebastian in terms of intelligence! On top of that, he’s way more experienced than us since he’s older than us!

Sebastian remained seated on the bench for a long time because he thought he was the one accountable for the miseries of the ones he held dear.

Why am I even here? Have I turned a blind eye to whatever’s going on, are we going to live a blissful life as a family of five at Miralaea? Why have I gotten myself and my family involved?
