Chapter 155 No Broken Promises

Sebastian slowly opened his eyes and weakly asked, "Is Joey okay?"

Maxwell, usually carefree, felt his eyes well up for a moment. It wasn't just relief that Sebastian was alive, but concern for Joey. He knew how much she'd suffer if something happened to Sebastian. With a smirk, he said, "She's fine. If you die, she'll marry me right away."

Sebastian's lips twitched, and he rasped, "Not a chance."

"Still acting tough, huh? If I hadn't found you, you'd be wolf food."

Maxwell bent down, lifted Sebastian, and carried him on his back. He whistled, and soon, several special forces soldiers came running. They took turns carrying Sebastian out.

Joey stood not far away, watching. When she saw them approaching, she stumbled and ran over.

"Maxwell, did you find Sebastian?" she asked, her voice trembling.

She saw someone on Maxwell's back, covered in blood and tattered clothes. Her heart clenched, and she softly called out, "Sebastian."

Sebastian, barely conscious, slowly opened his eyes. "Joey, this time... I kept my promise," he said with all his strength.

Joey couldn't hold back her tears. She rushed to his side, her eyes fixed on his wounds. "Sebastian, are you okay? Where are you hurt? Does it hurt a lot?" she sobbed, gently touching his wounds. Sebastian's blood-stained fingers lightly brushed her eye. "Joey, don't cry. I'll stay alive, waiting for you..." he whispered before his fingers slipped from her face. Joey cried out in fear, calling his name repeatedly.
