The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian) novel Chapter 1193

Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover Chapter 1193 Root Them All Out

It was still dark when they returned to Jadeborough. Nonetheless, Devin departed immediately for Oceanic Estate.

“Mr. Cooper? Is something wrong?” the housemaid who opened the door asked.

“Where’s Sebastian? Is he asleep?” he asked, not wanting to waste his breath talking to the housemaid.

To his surprise, she shook her head. “Not yet. He’s in the study. Are you here to see him?”

Instead of replying, he brushed past the housemaid and walked in.

He walked through the hall to the small building on the side. At first glance, he saw the room on the first floor. There was a soft, orange glow inside it.

Although the light was not bright, it seemed warm and welcoming in the pre-dawn hours.

He strode over to the room.

The door creaked as he opened it, and a wave of warmth enveloped him. Tears stung his eyes.

It’s my first time back here after everything that has happened.

The people in the study froze in shock, especially the old, white-haired man by the fireplace. He raised his head, and his drowsy eyes widened when he was who it was.

“Devin?”

He got up abruptly, put down the cup of coffee in his hand with a clatter, and rushed up to the doorway.

Devin could not hold it in any longer. Hot tears rolled down his cheeks as he stood in front of the old man. “Grandpa, I’m back.”

“You’re back! My eldest grandson… is finally home!” Jonathan choked out, overwhelmed with emotions. At that moment, the man who had never shed a single tear at the battlefield embraced his long-lost grandson with tear-filled eyes.

After everything he had gone through, he finally understood that there was nothing more important than being surrounded by family.

Meanwhile, Sebastian stood at one side, watching quietly.

After making sure that the two men had calmed down, he pushed a fresh cup of coffee toward Devin.

“Have you settled everything in Adonia?”

“Yes. Janice is dead.” Devin lifted the cup to his lips and took a sip. The mere mention of that name brought a lump in his throat.

Sebastian looked slightly astonished. “Dead? How did she die?”

“She was severely injured while fighting with them, but I had no idea about it. When she got on the speedboat, she realized there was no way she’d escape. Hence, she blew up the speedboat,” Devin answered grimly.

Once again, Devin felt a pang of heartache.

That night, Sebastian did not do anything with the USB drive and the map. Rather, he waited until the next morning and had someone deliver them to Silas at the White House.

Jonathan stomped his foot in anger when he found out about it.

“Why did you give them to him? It wasn’t easy to get our hands on them! What if he destroys them?” He fumed.

A sneer hovered on Sebastian’s lips, and he replied curtly, “He won’t.”

What happened after that proved that Sebastian made the right decision. Another crackdown began two days later. Since the order came from the highest-ranking official in the White House, it was carried out on a much larger scale.

Many different departments were involved, from the anti-corruption department to the armed forces.

The sight of so many people coming together was reminiscent of how they once united to set up a new regime. They rooted out all the scums who had broken the law for years before they could even react!

Jonathan was dumbstruck.

He still could not figure out how Silas had become a weapon in their hands.

Meanwhile, after watching everything unfold, Sasha picked up a basket one sunny afternoon and went into the garden to look for the man picking flowers with his daughter.
