The Love that Never Really Dies

Ian got ready within ten minutes, and the two headed to Old Town.

Sebastian never probed into where Sasha was living as he had always thought she was staying with her uncle. After all, that was what she told him.

It was not until today that he found out that Sasha actually lied to him and that she had found another place to stay.

This obviously did not set Sebastian in a good mood. Thus, he drove Ian to Old Town without saying a word. This neighborhood is simply too squalid and slummy. His nose wrinkled in disgust as he looked around.

Beside him, Ian’s reaction was totally different.

As the car drove nearer to Sasha’s place, Ian poked his head out of the window and looked around in expectation. He was looking for her, and Sebastian could tell from his actions that his son could not wait to see her. That little boy was scanning the area meticulously, trying to get a sign of his mother.

Sebastian eyed the eager kid from the corner of his eyes and pursed his lips. Too bad this is the last time she gets to see Ian. The car drove towards an apartment, but Sebastian could not find a place to park since a large crowd had gathered at the entrance. Right in the middle of the group was a little girl who was holding a stranger’s hand. The person was trying to calm her down.

Vivi!

The moment Ian spotted her, he asked Sebastian to stop the car. He then jumped off immediately and ran over, pushing his way through the crowd.

“Vivi!” he shouted with all his strength.

Vivian turned her head around, trying to locate the direction of the familiar voice. Her frightened gaze wandered around aimlessly.
