Chapter 687
Hearing Sebastian's words, Citrine felt a jolt inside her, her heart skipping almost imperceptibly.
"Your mother... is she...?" she asked hesitantly.
Sebastian pressed his lips together, forcing a bitter smile. "She's gone."
"I'm sorry," Citrine murmured, her gaze dropping to the floor. It took her a long moment to find her voice.
A wave of regret washed over her. She realized she shouldn't have been so impulsive—his mother was clearly a wound that hadn't healed.
She was aware of her own manipulation, just as she knew that, in the beginning, Sebastian had approached her with his own agenda. In truth, she had no right to question him.
