“Devin actually feels really guilty about it. He wants to drop by, but his family had locked him up, so he can’t,” said Jake to defend Devin. The former deliberated it, but he felt he should defend the latter anyway.

Karl, however, scoffed upon hearing that.

Guilt?

Mr. Hayes called Devin after learning that he was the one who took Frieda away. If Devin actually cared, he wouldn’t have hung up on Mr. Hayes.

Moreover, when we reached the train and saw him in person, he didn’t let Mr. Hayes leave with his mom. Instead, Devin kept negotiating and asked if he could take Frieda to the Jadesons’ Residence first.

What bullsh*t. There was no way Frieda could survive if she was brought over.

 

All in all, Karl thought that Devin played a significant role in the matter.

Perhaps the fault stemmed from Devin’s upbringing and how he was trained to obey the Jadesons’ commands, though. He was not like his Uncle Shin and didn’t have the courage to fight against his family.

 

He certainly didn’t have the guts to stay true to himself.

“Come on, let me take you to go see how Mr. Hayes is doing,” said Karl to change the subject. He turned around immediately after to take Jake to Sebastian’s room.

Jake didn’t reply.

He turned grimmer and could only follow along.

Sebastian remained unconscious in the room. He laid quietly on the bed and had a bag of saline attached to him. One look was all it took to see how he had turned pale with deep eye shadows donning his face. He looked utterly disheveled.
