Sebastian was speechless. He looked at the man on the ground who was saying repeatedly, "I want a family. I just want a family. A family..."
Sebastian felt a huge lump in his throat. However, he was a man after all, so he said nothing and just held his younger twin brother tightly. Did he not also want a family? Since childhood, the only person close to him was his mother. He desperately needed his father's broad shoulders to depend on during his childhood and in his youth, but although his father loved him and gave him money to spend, his father was also so detached from him. He had never told anyone, but in fact, he had also very much wanted to enter the yard of the Ford Residence growing up and play together with his few brothers and cousins. However, from his childhood to his youth, Sebastian never had the chance to even talk half a step into the Ford Residence.
A large part of the reason why Sebastian's nature was so cold and vicious was that he did not want others to know that he also yearned for familial relationships. H e had a yearning for it. Both the brothers were sorrowful. Both of them needed a familial relationship. It was enough for them to have a family that was not too big, as long as it was secure and safe enough.
Holden's tone became softer and softer. "I...don't want t o compete with you for the family fortune...! don't want to target you...! don't want to get back at you...!, I... just wanted a family. A...family exactly like yours...! wanted...to feel...your feeling...of being loved...by mom. I wanted...to experience...how you felt being immersed in...a happy family, and the feeling of... having a daughter...and a wife... I am not trying...to fight you for i t... I just wanted to...exchange my life...with you. Even if ...it was just for a day..."
Holden was too weak. However, Sebastian was heavy hearted when he heard it, then large drops of tears fell onto Holden's face. Holden smiled. His smile was so strained and his eyes were already unable to open. His eyes were shut a few times, but they opened again. He did his best to say to Sebastian, "I...have never met her ...Bury me...bury me...with her..."
Holden died in Sebastian's arms. Sebastian's tears soaked the front of his body. He held the head and face, which looked somewhat similar to his, tightly in his arms. "My family...another one of my family...has died. My family..." 1
Suddenly, Sebastian raised his head and shouted at the top of his lungs. "My brother...is dead!" 1
His brother had died. He was his only biological younger brother. His mother's greatest dying wish was to let me find and bring his brother back. He had searched for so long, and his brother had finally come t o his side, but he died.
With tears welled up in his eyes, Sebastian looked at Malvolio, who was pinned down in the distance.
Malvolio looked at Sebastian with his bloodshot eyes and a smug smile on his lips. Isadora, who was at the side, was looking at Holden, who was lying on the ground with no signs of life to them, and her tears just gushed down her cheeks. Holden was the best and the warmest person in her thirty years of life that she desired but was forever out of her reach.
