Chapter 990: She’s awake
Dominic laughed one more time, looking at his son with admiration. For a moment, he could only enjoy the look on his son’s face with relief and pride.
"Since when did you become adorable?"
"I’m always adorable!" Sebastian pouted. "Just in front of my mommy, though. But I’ll make an exception this time."
The subtle smile on Dominic’s face turned to relief, stroking his son’s hair. "Thanks, Basti. And sorry if you had to see me cry."
"It’s okay to cry, that’s what my mommy always says." Sebastian shrugged. "She said it’s more scary if people couldn’t and wouldn’t cry. She said she used to be like that, and it’s really scary."
"Is that so? I feel like I am learning more from you than you’re learning from me."
"I’m used to it since Uncle Axel learns from me."
Dominic chuckled, ruffling his son’s hair, and grateful for how good of a boy his son had become.
"If I can’t see Mommy, then can you tell her something for me?" Sebastian requested, earning a hum from his dad. "Please tell her I’ll take care of Miri just as I promised. So, she should get better so we won’t get sad and so my dad will stop crying. Tell her that."
"Sure." Dominic nodded. "I’ll surely tell her that." — maybe, she would listen to her son.
As Dominic and Sebastian were conversing, Bear, who was driving the car, couldn’t help but carry a solemn front. His grip on the steering wheel tightened as his jaw clenched.
