Chapter 1545
The Love that Never Really Dies
Chapter 1545 Must Save Daddy
After giving her brother a hug and receiving a gift from him, Vivian finally turned to look at her
brother's friend with her big, shiny eyes. âDuncan, what kind of gift did you prepare for me?â
âHuh?â Duncan was stumped by her question.
He had grown taller in the past three years.
However, when he stood beside lan, they gave off different vibes. Like his father, Sebastian, lan had
good-looking features and exuded a noble and elegant aura.
Duncan had chiseled facial features. And thanks to his training in the military base, he had become a
handsome and strong young man.
âI-I brought you this. I'm not sure if you'll like it.â He scratched the back of his head and brought out
the gift shyly.
Vivian immediately fixed her eyes on the gift.
It was a piece of stone she had never seen before. It was a colorful stone, and its surface was
smooth and shiny. It was really pretty.
âWhat is that? It's so pretty,â she said.
âIt's a precious opal. He spent his entire semester shaping it. Keep it well. Perhaps you might be able
to use it for your designs in the future,â lan explained.
Looking at the unique stone, Vivian was delighted, and she immediately kept the piece of treasure
in her pocket with care.
Now that Sasha had another two visitors, she could finally relax a little. The task of giving Sebastian
a massage to improve his blood circulation was assigned to lan, while Duncan would help to
prepare the medicines.
As for Vivian, she had gotten more diligent. Every day, she would accompany Sasha to collect some
herbs. Although she would occasionally cause a mess, Sasha was happy to have someone chatty by
her side.
Soon, half a month had passed.
After Vivian and the others pestered Shin for almost half a month, he finally agreed to let the kids
play at the mountainâs waterfall.
âWaterfall?â As soon as Sasha heard about the location, her face fell. âMaster, can they really play at
that place? Isn't it near the underground chamber?â
âIt's fine. I've ordered some men to seal off the entrance. Besides, they just want to take a look at
the view. Just let them go,â Shin replied.
Although he was a monk, he would always grant the kidsâ wishes whenever they came over.
Only then did Sasha stop questioning further.
The next day, the three youngsters headed off to the waterfall.
On the way, lan stared at the map in his hands and asked again, âDuncan, are you sure this place
has black stones?â
Their motive for going there this time was actually not to play. Instead, they wanted to look for
black stones.
Moreover, they were not looking for the stone to play with it. In fact, lan and Vivian had heard the
conversation between Sasha and Grayson. According to the conversation, they mentioned that the
black stone was needed in order for Sebastian to regain his consciousness.
Hence, they had been searching for it for the past three years.
To their surprise, it was found that the stones existed on this very mountain.
Vivian said, âThat's right, Duncan. If the waterfall has it, then why does Mommy not know about it?
After all, sheâs been constantly searching for the black stone to save Daddy.â
âI know. Don't be in such a hurry, you two. I didnât know about this until I brought back a bottle of
mountain spring water and used it in an experiment by chance, during which I found some traces of
black stones in it. That's why it's worth taking a look. Anyway, that's the source of the stream, and it
seems to be coming from the waterfall.â
lan finally understood what was going on. Immediately, his eyes lit up.
Vivian, too, got excited.
After all, she wanted her father to regain his consciousness more than anyone else did.
Soon, all three of them started their journey.
However, what they did not know was that Eddie had built a massive underground base back in the
day. Hence, the strong radiation residues would cause their phone signals to disappear as soon as
they entered the hinterland.
âlan, my phone isn't receiving any signals.â Vivian was the first to realize this as she was about to
take a selfie with the beautiful scenery on the mountain.
lanâs expression changed instantly when he heard that. He quickly pulled out his smartphone and
realized it was true.
Duncan said, âThen we must stick together. Here, Vivi. Take my hand.â
"Okay," Vivian answered, stretching out her fair hand, which was immediately held by Duncan.
Without phone signals, it was quite dangerous to be in such an indigenous forest. Hence, for the
rest of the journey, the three youngsters did not let their guards down.
They followed lanâs map carefully and searched for the waterfall
Thankfully, they did not have to go too far before they heard the sound of the waterfall.
âListen. There's the sound of water.â
"Yes!" lan was surprised as well.
They hastened their pace and headed in the direction of the sound. As they took a turn on the
mountain path, a majestic waterfall appeared before them.
However, perhaps it was excitement that caused Duncan, who was walking in front of the group, to
not notice the dampness of the ground, causing him to slip.
"Ah!" he screamed.
âDuncan!â Vivian and lan yelled with shock, watching him fall with their own eyes.
