Isadora already had no home in Kidon City anymore. Also, the changes to Kidon City made Isadora feel overwhelmed. She hugged her brother's urn and stood in a daze in the middle of bustling traffic. Just when she did not know what to do and where to go, a pedestrian threw eggs at Isadora. The person who threw the egg was an old woman. Isadora was stunned.
"You're that person, aren't you? You're Malvolio's sister, aren’t you?" scolded the old woman furiously.
Isadora was speechless. She indeed was Malvolio's sister, but she did not dare to answer.
"I knew you're Malvolio's sister even if you stayed silent! I had met Malvolio before and you looked a little like him. I also have met your mother! You and your late mother looked even more alike! More than ten years have passed and you still dared to come back? You actually still dared to come back? Your brother is a murderer! You're no better than him. Give me back my son and my daughter-in-law's life. Oh, right, your brother even forced himself on my daughter -in-law. You have to pay me for compensation! If you don't pay me, I will never let you off the hook!"
Isadora was speechless. She did not know who that old woman was, but she knew that the old woman's son and daughter-in-law were certainly killed by her brother. In those few years, her brother had done plenty of evil in Kidon City and Malvolio had indeed been lawlessly vicious. Isadora closed her eyes. She was just thinking of letting the old woman do as she pleased with her since it did not matter. Anyway, after she had buried her brother and then brought her mother's remains back from the dense forest deep in the mountains for burial, she would also take her own life next to her mother and brother, and her life would have been over.
More and more people gathered as many people knew about Malvolio's crimes back then, and many people vented their anger on Isadora. In the end, Isadora fell t o the ground after being pushed by the people. Just when someone wanted to step on Isadora, Alex's assistant, Garrett Zandra, appeared. Sebastian had specially asked Alex to make arrangements for Isadora, so Alex asked Garrett to handle this matter.
After Garrett shouted and dispersed the crowd, he brought Isadora to a remote place to stay. He kept her well-fed every day, but he did not let Isadora out the door. Alex had heard that it was thanks to Isadora's care for Sabrina in the few days she was held hostage by Malvolio that the pregnant lady could safely get through those days. Therefore, Alex had only put Isadora on house arrest and did not punish her.
Besides, there was another reason why Alex did not punish Isadora, which was that Isadora's crimes were not serious enough, to begin with. All of the crimes and sins were committed by her brother, and Isadora was an accessory to the crimes at best. Therefore, Alex first put Isadora in his control. It so happened that he was coming to South City to visit Sabrina and her newborn child, so he just asked Sebastian and Sabrina, especially Sabrina, how he should deal with Isadora.
When he heard Alex saying that, Sebastian just smiled slightly. "Sabrina had given birth not long after we disembarked from the ship, so I also had forgotten to tell you about this matter. Just arrange a place for Isadora to stay. She is all alone and is also quite pitiful."
Alex nodded. "Alright. I'll arrange for this matter."
Sebastian nodded. There's finally an end to the matter regarding Malvolio and Isadora, especially for Alex as a trouble on his mind was considered to be resolved.
"Is the child alright?" Alex changed a topic.
"It had only been three days, but his appearance kept changing with each passing day. He is growing very fast. His little arms were so chubby that his skin was stretched." Once his child was mentioned, a smile instantly appeared on Sebastian's face.
He had been very gloomy in recent times. Only his child could put a smile on his face. He did not know about it when Aino had just been born back then, let alone saw Aino when she was younger. He had finally seen his son at that moment. He was chubby on his little arms, little legs, and all over his body.
Sebastian's heart could melt every time he glanced at
him.
It was until all of the guests in his house had left that h e had time to go to Sabrina and the child's nursery.
"How is the child?" He tiptoed and came to Sabrina's bedside and saw that Sabrina was busy.
Sabrina raised her head and both her hands at the same time to show Sebastian. "Well, look! Your son had just pooped! Quickly come and help!"
