Sabrina shouted in tears. "Holden Payne!"
She ran over and knelt on the ground. She wanted to help Holden up and her hands were covered in blood.
"Holden Payne, weren't you in the cabin? You..." Sabrina's tears dripped onto Holden's face. Holden smiled. He was indeed locked in the cabin earlier on, and both of his hands were chained up. He had heard the arrival of Sebastian, and the confrontation between Sebastian and Malvolio. Holden had been dealing with Holden for a while these days, and he knew that Malvolio was a person who never kept his words. No matter how upright, kind, miserable, and protective of his sister he once was, he was not the same anymore. Malvolio had become very reckless and very unpredictable at that moment. Other than heinous crimes, Holden did not see anything else on Malvolio anymore. It was a surprise to Holden that Malvolio would fall in love with Sabrina at first sight.
Holden did not think that Malvolio could still let Sabrina go when his own life was at stake. It was impossible! That was because Malvolio was a beast! Therefore, he had forcefully broke his thumb and finally, he was able to break free. After he had broken free, only then could he get the keys at the side and barely managed to unlock the chains on the steel door. He did not even have the time to unchain his other hand before he ran out. It was such a coincidence. If he were to come out a second later, the person lying in the pool of blood at that moment would have been Sabrina. It was so mysterious, and also so frightening. However, it was lucky that all was not too late.
"Holden...you..." Sabrina sobbed, supporting Holden's head and helping him up with a great effort.
"Holden...are you silly? Your brother...had never thought of...killing you..." Sabrina was sobbing uncontrollably.
"My brother?" Holden's face became paler and paler, and he did not even have the energy to open his eyes.' I...do I have any loved ones...in this life? Do I have a family?"
At that moment, Sebastian had already arrived in front of Holden. It had already been half a year since the last time Holden escaped from South City. Although it had only been half a year, Sebastian actually was not that familiar with this younger brother of his. At that moment when he saw his younger brother lying in Sabrina's arms, Sebastian suddenly realized that his younger brother and himself looked very similar. They were particularly similar.
Sebastian squatted down. "Holden..."
Holden opened his mouth, but he did not say anything. Sebastian spoke. "You are my younger brother. In this world, other than Sabrina and Aino, you are my third family. You are my biological brother. Mom...you have always had a place in mom's heart. The reason why she asked me to go to Star Island before she died was not because of anything else, but to let me go find you..."
When he heard Sebastian say that, tears fell down Holden's cheeks. His pupil slowly dilated, and he raised both his hands, which were still in chains. His voice became weaker and weaker, and more and more lifeless. With great effort, he let out a faint voice from his mouth. "I...I just wanted a family...a family."
