"Sabrina, I had already figured it all out. I will be living in South City in the future. I will do my best to find a job and work a few jobs. I want to buy a house with Holden. It's alright if it would be a little tough on us. W e will build our own home. What do you think, Sabrina?"
Isadora looked urgently at Sabrina. She treated Sabrina as her best friend and her life savior. Among the living in this world, other than Holden, Sabrin was the most important person to Isadora. Seeing that Isadora was so eager as if she had been possessed, what more could Sabrina have said? She could only pat Isadora on her back and said while feeling sorry for her. "Alright, I support you. You don't have to work a few jobs. You can just work one stable job. If you want to buy a house, I can loan a portion of the money to you. You can then pay me back when you have the money."
"Thank you, Sabrina." Isadora was extremely happy.
Sabrina shook her head and then looked at Vireo." Have you...already promised to live together with Isadora?"
As soon as Sabrina said those words and before she got a reply from Vireo, Sebastian asked, "Do you know who Isadora is? You had already promised Isadora?"
He was not interrogating him. Sebastian's tone did not sound like he was questioning him at all. He just wanted to get further confirmation from this man's words that he was Holden, and that he was his younger twin brother. Sebastian continuously asked," Do you know who I am? Tell me, who am I?"
Vireo was speechless. He, of course, knew who the couple in front of him was. Who in South City would not know? Not only did he know who Sebastian and Sabrina were, he even knew that the youngest child among the three girds, who was more than ten years old, was this couple's child. When he heard Sebastian asking him those questions in one go, Vireo only smiled.
After that, he said to Sebastian in an firm, decent, and gentle manner, "Of course, I know who you are. You are Mister Ford, the richest man in South City. I also know what I'm doing." i
After taking a pause, he looked at Isadora with an incomparably firm gaze. "I know who she is. She is the woman who loves Holden Payne the most. I want t o marry her and live together with her. I want to have children with her and spend the rest of our lives together."
When she heard those words, Isadora felt so touched that tears were unable to stop streaming down her face. She cried to the point that her voice was shaking. "Hol-Holden..."
She jumped into his arms and cried uncontrollably." Holden, you're...finally here, right?"
Vireo's gentle voice sounded like water from the spring that was able to cure all sickness. "Yes, I will never let you suffer anymore in the future. I will never let you cry anymore."
"Mm-hmm." Hearing Vireo saying that, Isadora cried even harder.
"You as well, little brat." Vireo turned his head around t o look at Minerva. "I will pay for your studies in the future and I will pass on all my knowledge in medicine to you. I will cook for you after you've taken a rest."
Minerva was speechless. Minerva originally was stuffed with a mouthful of beef. At that moment once she cried, she was unable to swallow the mouthful of beef, but also was unable to spit them out. However, she smiled while being in that state.
At this end, Sebastian and Sabrina looked at each other. Both of them were people who were extremely calm. It was particularly so for Sebastian. What kind o f situations had he not encountered before? However, a t that moment, he suddenly was lost. He did not even know where he should begin to ask. He just kept repeating the words he said earlier on, "Who are you? Are you truly Holden?"
How could that be? Sebastian was the one who had witnessed Holden being shot and killed by Malvolio. H e was that one who had personally taken Holden's body for cremation. He was also the one who had personally buried Holden next to their mother's grave.
There was no mistake in that. Sebastian had never believed in supernatural things.
Vireo, on the other hand, took a long breath, and his voice also became low and deep following that as if he was telling a distant tale. "Who exactly am I? Am I Holden Payne?"
