Sabrina's heart suddenly skipped a beat." Yvonne. Where are you, Yvonne? Which number are you using to call me?"
When Marcus, who was next to Sabrina, heard her calling Yvonne’s name, he immediately got up, snatched the phone away from Sabrina's hand, and shouted at the phone, "Yvonne, where are you?
Yvonne, I am your husband—"
The call was disconnected from the other end of the line at that instant.
"Yvonne! Yvonne!" Marcus shouted.
What he heard coming from the other end of the line was the busy tone that made him feel extremely hopeless.
Sabrina looked at him while feeling heartbroken. "Marcus, you...shouldn't have been so impatient just now. How great of a chance it was for Yvonne to call me."
Marcus burst out in tears. "It's all me. It's all my fault...."
He sobbed. He was such an unyielding and tough man, but he was crying his heart out in front of everyone. Sabrina, Jane, Ruth, Hana, Minerva, and Isadora, who were all next to him, could not help but cry along with him as well.
Everyone at the table comforted Marcus. He was a man who knew how to keep his emotions in control, so after crying for a while, he wiped his years and looked at everyone with a forced smile. "In short, it's a good thing as long as Yvonne is alive. As long as she is alive. It's fine by me as long as she is alive."
Sabrina nodded. "Yes, Marus, it's a good thing as long as Yvcone is still alive. You have to stay strong and live on. Don’t let others come in between us, Marcus.
Sebastian lowered his head slightly and smiled a little. After that, he raised his head again and said, "Marcus, Nigel, I feel that I've failed both of you. Yvonne's whereabouts are still unknown at this moment. Minerva's finger has been reattached, but she had been greatly terrified.
"I wanted to kill the mastermind, but my heart softened in the end. I think I must have gotten old. I can no longer bear to watch the scene of fighting and killing anymore. I'm sorry...."
The mighty Sebastian had openly apologized at the table. That truly stunned Marcus and Nigel, especially Marcus. He looked over carefully and realized that Sebastian's sideburns had a few vaguely visible strands of gray hair.
"Sebastian, don't say anything further. You've already been very dedicated. There are things that you can't bear to do in everything, which makes you a human made of flesh and blood. If you're still having bloodbaths at your current age, that would have been even more frightening to us. You've done nothing wrong, Sebastian. Don't blame yourself."
Sebastian smiled. "Thank you."
