Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Chapter 1545

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. “Duncan, what kind of gift did you prepare for me?”

“Huh?” Duncan was stumped by her question.

He had grown taller in the past three years.

However, when he stood beside Ian, they gave off different vibes. Like his father, Sebastian, Ian 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.

“I-I brought you this. I’m not sure if you’ll like it.” 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.

“What is that? It’s so pretty,” she said.

“It’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,” Ian 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 Ian, 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 mountain’s waterfall.

“Waterfall?” As soon as Sasha heard about the location, her face fell. “Master, can they really play at that place? Isn’t it near the underground chamber?”

“It’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,” Shin replied.

Although he was a monk, he would always grant the kids’ 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, Ian stared at the map in his hands and asked again, “Duncan, are you sure this place has black stones?”

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, Ian 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, “That’s right, Duncan. If the waterfall has it, then why does Mommy not know about it? After all, she’s been constantly searching for the black stone to save Daddy.”

“I know. Don’t be in such a hurry, you two. I didn’t 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.”

Ian 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.

“Ian, my phone isn’t receiving any signals.” Vivian was the first to realize this as she was about to take a selfie with the beautiful scenery on the mountain.

Ian’s expression changed instantly when he heard that. He quickly pulled out his smartphone and realized it was true.

Duncan said, “Then we must stick together. Here, Vivi. Take my hand.”

“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 Ian’s map carefully and searched for the waterfall.

Thankfully, they did not have to go too far before they heard the sound of the waterfall.

“Listen. There’s the sound of water.”

“Yes!” Ian 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. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“Ah!” he screamed.

“Duncan!” Vivian and Ian yelled with shock, watching him fall with their own eyes.
