Aino leaned into her father's arms and she looked at Sebastian with expectant eyes. "Dad..."
She was only halfway through her words, but she was cut off by Sebastian. "Yes! We certainly can get your mother back! Who do you think your mother is?"
Thinking of that, a gentle light was showing in Sebastian's gaze. "Your mother seemed quiet, very delicate and weak, and rarely argued with others as she was not at all forceful. In fact, your mother is the most difficult person to mess with. Think about it, how capable I am, but in the end, didn't she still have me eating out of her hand? Back then, to hide from my pursuit, your mother took you and your uncle and had been on the run for six whole years. For six years, she was a woman who had never thought of backing down and never thought of dying. But now?"
Aino raised her head to look at Sebastian. "Dad, is the situation now...better than six years ago?"
"It's worse than that," said Sebastian.
"Then, won't mom..?"
"Your mother will not die," said Sebastian as soon as h e opened his mouth.
There was a pause. "Your mother only had one child back then, which was you. However, she now has two children, also, she also has your grandma. If she dies, what happens to you, your sibling, as well as your grandma? Your mother would always be considering these. Therefore, even if the circumstances did not allow it, she will also do everything she can to stay alive. Your mother had never been the person who would kill herself!"
Aino nodded firmly. "Mm-hmm! My mom certainly is still fine! But dad, we have to save her as soon as possible."
"As soon as possible!" said Sebastian.
"Haha!" Aino was in stitches when she thought of that. 1
At that moment, they forgot about the pain of losing a mother and a wife. After she was done laughing, Aino felt sorry for her father again. "Dad, you have pretended to be drunk these past two days, so you must have drunk a lot. Mom is not by your side, and I also was not with you these two days. How much did you actually drink, Dad?"
Sebastian looked at this adult-like child and smiled. "I have hangover pills."
He was a man who could hold his drink. Back then when he was in his twenties and was competing with others abroad, he alone could drink ten men under the table even with such strong drinks. Later on, after he had been in charge of the Ford Group, Sebastian rarely touched alcohol. After all, when it comes to alcohol, even if he did not easily get drunk, alcohol was still something that could lead to mistakes.
