Sebastian Brenand looked around him, feeling nothing but loneliness.
Rachel Wood's shadows were everywhere in this house, making him think of her wherever he looked.
To numb his pain, he directly opened a bottle of red wine next to him and drained it.
He drank one bottle after another. However, apart from feeling dizzy, he didn’t feel anything else.
His mind was still alert, and his heart still ached.
The more he drank, the more he missed her.
‘D*mn it! What the hell am I living for?’
‘Am I still Sebastian Brenand?’
‘Where did the old Sebastian, who did whatever he wanted, go?’
His parents had killed that man.
Would they only come to their senses after he died?
He just wanted to die.
However, he couldn’t even kill himself because Rachel was in their hands.
It was hell on earth.
He knew he'd go insane if this continued.
When would he finally be free from this?
He finally passed out after a few bottles of red wine, laying sprawled out on the table without any strength left.
It was as if his soul had been sucked out of him because of the alcohol.
Beep, beep, beep—
Right then, his phone started ringing from an unknown number.
Meanwhile, Rachel was still sound asleep in the room, oblivious about any of this.
Woodrow waited until one o’clock in the morning before calling Sebastian again.
Right then, Sebastian was still sleeping with his upper body sprawled out on the desk.
His phone kept ringing, but he didn’t react at all.
Woodrow didn’t give up, calling repeatedly.
Sebastian’s phone rang non-stop, but he was already sleeping like a log and couldn't hear anything.
Yvette Houston walked into the room slowly, noticing his ringing phone. She hastily picked it up to glance at it, noting the unfamiliar number.
She naturally answered but remained silent as she slowly draped a blanket over Sebastian’s body.
On the other end of the call, Woodrow was relieved to see that someone had finally picked up his call.
