Sebastian opened his car door, and was about to head in when the man behind him said, "What a perfect man! I''m almost falling in love with you. Drive safely."
His words made Sebastian furrow his brows as he recalled the man''s suggestion of dying. He sensed that something was off, but he got into his car and drove away.
Along the way, he wanted to call Rosalie. However, he found her phone switched off and guessed that it must have run out of power.
He put his phone aside, and drove back. He had to find Rosalie, and make things clear with her.
He wanted to tell her that he loved her, and that he was willing to keep waiting for her. He didn''t want to keep his feelings to himself any longer! Suddenly, Sebastian started seeing double. His vision was blurring.
His head felt dizzy, and he immediately stopped the car by the roadside. He held his forehead, and shook his head hard.
What was wrong with him?
He only had a couple of drinks. That wasn''t enough to knock him out.
Suddenly, a figure shed past outside his window. The window was smashed hard; the ss shattered to pieces, some of whichnded on him.
Sebastian cked out and slumped against the chair, unable to muster any energy whatsoever. His eyes cracked open, and saw someone opening the car door.
A man was standing outside the same man he met at the bar. The man stretched into the car through the window, and unbuckled Sebastian''s seat belt.
Before Sebastian waspletely out, a voice rang in his ear.
"There''s nothing in this world I can''t control, be it hearts or lives! Don''t worry, I''ll take good care of her."
His voice changed as he spoke. He spoke in a mature, deep voice at first, but said hisst sentence in the voice of a young boy. The tone he spoke in sounded vaguely familiar, as if he had heard it from somewhere before.
Someone who spoke to Rosalie in that same way...
Oh yes, that guy Yerick.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.
But... Why didn''t this man look like Yerick at all?
If he knew how to change his voice, then he probably knew how to change his appearance.
Sebastian tried his best to open his
eyes and teave this ce to tell Rosalie that Yerick was a dangerous man. Yet, no matter how hard he tried his brain remained fuzzy and uncontroble.
He did manage to crack open his eyes, but his eyelids eventually mped shut as he slumped back weakly.
''Rose... Is this goodbye...?'' he thought, before finally losing consciousness.
By the time Theodore stepped out of the police station, the sky was turning dark. He shook hands with thewyer before saying goodbye. "Theo," Sydney said as she hurried over to him.
She rushed over the moment she received the call, thinking that he needed her to bail him out. To her surprise, she saw him walk out of the station. "Theo, what exactly happened? How did things turn out like this?"
Theodore looked down sluggishly and remained silent, looking despondent, as though he had lost his soul.
Sydney walked up to him and held his arm, gently patting his back.
"What happened? Tell me about it. Don''t worry, your dad and grandma don''t know about this yet. You called me because you trust me. If you don''t tell me anything, how am I going to help you?"
Theodore smiled bitterly. "Mom, no one can help me now."
"Why do you say so?"
"Because..." Theodore said as he clenched his fists, "Rose wants me in jail."
He told Sydney about everything that happened.
Upon hearing Theodore out, she fell silent. Things had spiraled out of control, and she had no idea what to say.
Sydney knew the wounds on Theodore''s face must have been from a fight with Sebastian. No wonder they suspected Theodore.
Sebastian got into an ident on the day they had a fight.
Theodore could leave the police station because they didn''t have concrete proof that he was the culprit. However, he couldn''t leave the city of his own ord, and had to cooperate with the police anytime they demanded it.
Sydney looked at the despondent look on Theodore''s face. She took him to her car and drove off, worried something might happen to him if he were left alone.
