Chapter 1211

Sean gently pinched Betty’s face.

Betty nodded. “When will you and Daddy come out?”

Sean had no idea.

The only thing he knew was that Enzo didn’t intend to let them leave in one piece. Ever since Enzo gave him that pill, Sean had a bad feeling.

Perhaps both he and his father wouldn’t make it out of this place alive. Ensuring his sister’s safety was the most ideal outcome.

“Very soon,” Sean said, trying to persuade Betty not to be sad. He then told Tommy to send Betty away, while he headed back to the house where Julian was locked in.

This was the first time he saw his father in such a terrible state.

Julian looked like very dizzy, his hands clutching his head and his eyes shut tight. When he heard Sean’s footsteps, he opened his eyes.

“Sean, I…”

“No need to say sorry,” Sean said, stepping forward to hold Julian’s hand. He looked around, and saw that there was no one else except for the two of them.

It was time for him to feed Julian the pill Enzo gave him.

Still, why did Enzo insist on having Sean feed Julian the pill when no one was around?

Sean guessed that Enzo wanted to avoid all suspicion and make this seem like a case of a child accidentally feeding his father poison, thereby causing his father’s death.

As he took out the pill, his hands trembled.

“Daddy, I’m sorry too.”

Different from what Sean had agreed with Enzo earlier, Sean didn’t feed Julian the pill.

No matter how biased Julian was, Sean still saw him as a father. He couldn’t possibly do something as wicked as poisoning his own father.

Yet, he had to obey Enzo to ensure his mother’s safety. The only thing Sean could do was to let Julian make the critical decision himself.

Julian, who was on the floor, didn’t notice Sean taking out the pill. He could only hear Sean’s apology, which made him feel even worse.

“Sean, you didn’t do anything to let me down. I’m the one who did. I should be protecting you, but you keep having to shoulder the burden as the older brother. Don’t you worry. After this drug wears off, I’ll take you out of this place.”

Julian didn’t know when the drug would wear off, and what its side effects were. Yet, so long as he still breathed, he would never give up on taking Sean away from this place.

“Your mommy is waiting for you outside,” Julian said, thinking that Sean was silent because he was afraid. “Sean, don’t be scared.”

How could Sean not be scared?! They were surrounded by enemies right now!

This place was filled with Enzo’s men and traps. Sean witnessed with his own eyes someone pierced by a needle just because he didn’t follow orders. That man’s face immediately turned green; he fainted, and never woke up again.

That needle resembled the one lying next to Julian right now. At this moment, there was no one who could help them.

“Why don’t you call the police?” Sean asked.

Julian didn’t expect his son to ask such a question. Sean was clearly more thoughtful than Betty. If Julian had chosen to send Sean away first, Sean would never agree to leave. That would only delay things.

Julian tolerated the dizziness he felt, and explained patiently to Sean, “If I called the police, you and Betty might be in danger.”

He couldn’t take the risk.

But now, Betty was safe.

Sean clenched the pill in his fist. For the first time, he asked Julian, “Did you really consider my safety?

Why do I feel that you only love Betty, and not me?

Aren’t we both your children? Why are you so biased?”
