Remorse After Breaking Up (Sebastian) novel Chapter 208

A few minutes passed, but Bob remained still. Esme's hope slowly died while Marie cried her heart out.

Rowan was grief-stricken, and Travis was purely incensed. Travis could not care less about Bob's life—all he cared about was to make Esme his.

At that moment, Bob opened his eyes without warning. Esme was the first to notice, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Dad, you're awake!"

The others quickly gathered around Bob. Rowan asked with concern, "Dad, how do you feel?"

"I feel fine," Bob replied before sitting up in bed, much to everyone's shock.

Esme broke down in tears of delight. "Dr. Wilder's pill worked!"

Travis snorted. "Don't celebrate yet. How could that brat cure a patient that Dr. Monas failed to save? For what we know, he might be experiencing terminal lucidity."

His remark reignited worry. Everyone urged Ezekiel to check Bob's pulse once more. Ezekiel did so, and he put on a look of disbelief. "It's a miracle!"

"Dr. Monas, what's going on with my dad?" Esme inquired worriedly.

Astonished, Ezekiel replied, "Well, Mr. Bailey isn't fully cured."

Travis snickered. "See? I told you. You shouldn't fall for the words of a fraud."

The Baileys looked dejected. Suddenly, Ezekiel commented, "Mr. Bailey might not be fully cured, but his condition has stabilized. He's doing much better than before, and he won't suffer for the time being."

"How is that possible?" Travis looked incredulous.

Esme was agitated when she heard Ezekiel's diagnosis. "Dr. Wilder didn't lie! His pill helped to stabilize Dad's condition!"

"Where's Dr. Wilder now?" Rowan quickly asked.

Esme copied her brother and pleaded, "Dr. Wilder, please save my dad. We'll fulfill any conditions you propose.

The Baileys, ranked second out of the ten great families, were of high social standing. Rowan and Esme were humbly begging for Sebastian's help out of their love for their father.

Their filial action did not escape Sebastian's notice. Because of that, he decided to give them another chance. "Get up now. I'll give you another chance seeing as you're good children."

"Thank you, Dr. Wilder!" The siblings excitedly thanked Sebastian, who followed them back to Bob's bedroom.

Travis and Ezekiel hadn't left the room. Ezekiel gaped when he saw Sebastian, and he blurted out, "Mento—"

Sebastian hurriedly hinted at him to shut up. Ezekiel held his tongue but remained deferential to his mentor.

Meanwhile, Travis was enraged by Sebastian's presence.
