Sebastian wasn't moving. Not one bit.
His motionless body shook their hearts to the core.
"W-what's happening?" Catherine's voice quivered.
She stepped forward with her shaky legs and sat beside Sebastian.
Afterward, she held his hand. She trembled after feeling his temperature.
Only dead people had this cold temperature.
"Se-Sebastian…?"
She called his name and started to shake him.
An unbelievable scene unfolded in front of her. She didn't know how to react.
Ironin reacted fast. He touched Sebastian's wrist and then placed his index finger in front of his nose.
After examining, he declared, "He's not breathing."
Catherine's heart dropped. Her head was blank.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"He… is dead?" Veronica couldn't believe her eyes and ears. "But why?"
Merlin moved forward and examined Sebastian's eyes, tongue and fingers.
He slightly frowned and stated, "He has been poisoned."
I've planned this chapter for 11 months. I'm relieved that I was finally able to write this chapter.
