Sebastian was the first to react. He quickly grabbed Sabrina's arm and shouted, "Sabrina! Calm down! You need to calm down first!"
Sabrina, who was stopped in her tracks, replied sombrely, "I can’t calm down, Sebastian, I can’t! I went t o prison for Selene and never met my mother again after that. When I finally got out two years later, the Lynn family told me that she was dead. Lincoln even said that her remains were buried at my old house.
"He told me that personally!
"It has been so many years. I really wanted to come back to see my mother. Just once would suffice, I thought. Nevertheless, I didn't even have enough money at the time to make the trip home.
"Then, I got pregnant.
"For the child in my belly, I gave up my dreams of returning home someday.
"It’s all my fault!
"Now that my mother's remains are missing, what purpose do I have to live on?"
Sebastian said, full of resolve, "You still have Aino!
You still have me!"
When she heard this, Sabrina kept quiet.
"If your mother's remains are really gone, you need to seek revenge for her, at the very least!" Sebastian added.
At that moment, his disdain for Lincoln was even greater than that of Sabrina's!
If Lincoln had not made Selene impersonate Sabrina six years ago, she wouldn't have met such an unfortunate fate.
What's even more despicable was the fact that he had actually lied to Sabrina, telling her that her mother's remains were buried at her old house!
That wretched Lincoln!
He’s lived for long enough!
The workers who were operating the excavators knew better than to say anything at this tense moment, while the other villagers who had a good relationship with Coral were respectful enough not to ask about their friend's whereabouts.
Seeing this, Kingston walked up to Sebastian’s side and reminded him, "Young master, I know the information we have isn't complete yet, but I think you could tell madam what we know first?"
Sebastian was a diligent person.
He would not tell Sabrina about something he wasn't completely sure of that could end up misleading her.
Unbeknownst to her, Sebastian had been occupied with investigating Lincoln for the past few months, especially his relationship with Sabrina's parents. However, it turned out to be incredibly difficult work which did not yield much conclusive results.
On top of that, Sebastian wanted to avoid telling Sabrina the news if possible, in case it would tear her apart.
Yet at that moment, after hearing Kingston's advice, h e was determined to let her know the truth. Cupping Sabrina’s face with his hand, he said, "Sabrina, there's something I never told you. When you were in exile, your mother was confined by Lincoln's family for a period of time.”
"What?!" Sabrina, who immediately regained her energy, was beyond shocked.
