Remorse After Breaking Up (Sebastian) novel Chapter 233

Indeed, it was just as Sebastian had predicted. When Merlin and Nelson discovered that Sebastian was missing, Elena used the excuse that Sebastian had fabricated. Just like that, they didn't question it further.

These days, the two were so engrossed in researching the Seraphic Tear Pendant and the amulets that everything else seemed unimportant.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Sebastian woke up at dawn. Today was the last day Elena had given him, and he planned to find an opportunity to escape. Although the island wasn't very large, it still covered tens of thousands of acres. If he could just get out of the valley and find a place to hide, it shouldn't be too difficult

Sebastian had a plan in mind—get Elena to help him. For the sake of learning the secret, she'd surely agree. The challenge was how to shake her off once they were out of the valley.

From what he knew of her, she was ruthless. Once Elena knew the secret, she'd kill him. Besides, Sebastian didn't actually know any secrets. If he didn't tell her anything, she might not kill him immediately but would certainly beat him half to death.

So, he thought of a risky solution—drugging her. Although the herbs Elena provided couldn't make poison, they could be used to make aphrodisiacs. If the purity was high enough, even a grandmaster like Elena wouldn't be able to resist. Once the effects kicked in, she'd be weak and desperate.

…

Elena arrived earlier than Sebastian had expected. By then, he was already sipping mushroom soup. Besides the mushroom soup, there was also a fragrant medicinal soup. All these were prepared by Emily under Elena's instructions.

Elena sent Emily out and impatiently said to Sebastian, "Three days are up. Now, tell me."
