The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

Sebastian wondered if things would have turned out differently had Frederick done the same thing for him. Maybe I wouldn't have to suffer in a mental hospital for six years. Anyhow, I have to do right by my son.

As expected, Ian stopped crying as soon as he heard his father. The boy quickly dried his tears before nodding like a determined adult.

“I won't make the same mistake again, Daddy.”

“I'm glad to hear that. Don't be too hard on yourself, Ian. The whole thing with Duncan was planned, so you couldn't possibly have anticipated it.”

“Then... Then what should we do now?”

“If you're up for it, I have a mission for you. I've had a discussion with Devin, and we realized that we have no idea how many of those who went to the military base with you were like Duncan. Because of their identities, your Uncle Devin and great-grandpa might not be the best people to investigate. That's why I think you're the best fit for the job.”

Ian was utterly taken aback when asked to consider such an important mission.

Staring at Sebastian in shock, Ian could not believe that his father would entrust something so critical to him after his mistake.

The boy suddenly felt a rush of excitement and was ready to find courage once again.
