Sean's phone fell onto the ground. Everyone was looking at him. Sean turned his head around and looked at Sebastian. He then said with a deep voice," Your...Your grandpa has passed away."
Sebastian was speechless. Old Master Ford, Henry Ford, had lived a considerably long life. He had lived for a hundred and two years. Even if he had passed away, that would also be considered as passing away o f old age. Therefore, all of them who were present were only slightly shocked, and were not overly upset. However, as he was the mainstay of the Ford family in South City, his passing was still not a small matter. The foundation of the Ford family in South City could be described as a large tree with deep roots. Not only did they have connections in South City, but they also had extremely wide connections in Kidon City. Old Master Ford’s passing inevitably would alarm everyone from all directions. Therefore, at that moment, even if Sean wanted to explain further to Sebastian and wanted to beg for Aino’s forgiveness again, he also could not stay any longer. He had no choice but to immediately return and handle Old Master Ford’s funeral arrangements.
"Sebastian, you don't have to worry too much about things at Ford Residence. I...I can handle your grandpa's funeral. You...you and Alex, both of you should just wholeheartedly think of ways to rescue
Sabrina." Sean looked at Sebastian with an ingratiating gaze.
"I never had the intention to worry about that. I will not go back at all!" Sebastian said coldly.
Sean was speechless. Sebastian's words had indeed hurt his father. However, at that moment, Sean also could not make a fuss about it to his son.
At that moment, Alex said, "Mister Ford, just go back first. I will talk to Sebastian and persuade him. The most urgent matter now is still rescuing Sabrina first. After all, Sabrina's life is in the hands of the other party. A minute of delay meant increasing the danger for her."
Only then did Sean leave in a hurry. At that moment, Alex came in front of Aino. Alex felt as if his heart was bleeding from being heartbroken. All this while, he had treated the little girl as his own daughter. He even had been telling Jane that if they did not have their own child, then they would treat Aino as their own. Therefore, when he saw Aino having such a meltdown, Alex did not feel any better than Sebastian. His voice became gentle. "Aino, tell me, do you miss your Aunt Jane and her baby, whom you treated as your brother?"
Aino looked up at her Uncle Poole with teary eyes. " Uncle Poole, my mom had been taken away by bad people."
Alex nodded. "I know. I promise you that I will bring your mom back safely. I definitely will! If I can’t get your mom back, then I will chop my head down for you."
Aino's mood got a little better. "Really?"
"I have never lied to others," said Alex.
Aino calmed down a little. "Thank you, Uncle Poole."
Alex then changed the topic. "Aino, your Aunt Jane is waiting for you. Your little brother is also waiting for you at the hospital. Also, after your mom has been rescued and brought back, you will need to take care o f her and the others as well. Aino, I'm telling you that you're the one with the biggest responsibility now. Do you understand that?"
Aino immediately nodded her head. "I understand, Uncle Poole."
"Therefore, be good. From now on, you have to be sensible. You can't lash out and can't have a
meltdown. You have to be strong and brave. Only then you can take care of your mom. Do you understand? I know our Aino is the bravest, most sensible, and most understanding girl, right?”
Aino nodded again. "I know, Uncle Poole. Don’t worry, I won't have a meltdown again. I will be very calm in the future because..." Aino had a catch in her throat, and she forcefully held back her tears. "Because only then can I truly not let my mom be worried. Only then can I protect my mom, and also my dad. I know that m y dad is very sad now. We can't have anything happen to us anymore."
