Chapter 204 A Call from Sebastian

Theodore didn't recognize the overseas number, but he knew the voice instantly. His eyes darted to Joey. "She's fine. How are you?" he asked, voice shaking. Sebastian's voice was full of pain. "Put her on."

Theodore walked over to Joey, bent down, and said, "It's Sebastian. He's okay."

Joey froze, then grabbed the phone, her voice trembling. "Sebastian."

Tears streamed down her face.

Sebastian, eyes closed in pain, said, "Joey, I'm fine. It's locked down here. I'll be back in a few days. Has Drake arrived?" "Yes, Dad's surgery was successful," Joey choked out.

"That's great. I kept my promise. Joey, are you eating and sleeping well?"

"Yes, I just had breakfast."

Hearing her sobs, Sebastian comforted her, "Joey, don't cry. Take care of yourself and the baby. Wait for me, okay?"

"I know, we'll wait for you."

"I borrowed this phone, gotta go now." Sebastian reluctantly ended the call.

His strength gave out, and the phone slipped from his hand as his eyes closed.

Maxwell, beside him, shouted, "Sebastian, if you fall asleep, I'll make your son call me Dad. Don't believe me? Try it."

Sebastian didn't react. His consciousness faded until he passed out.

"Sebastian, wake up! You can't die. What about Joey? What about the baby?" Maxwell slapped him hard, but Sebastian didn't respond.
