Bab 363: Chapter 363
Dylan looked at Fi.
"Tell me WHAT?" Pearl repeated.
"We think you should go to the album release." Fi stammered out. Dylan looked at her and then nodded.
"Look. I know it seems I am putting myself on the back burner here but I truly think it would look bad for me to go. It is a bad idea. I wish them the best and tell them that for me, ok?" Pearl said.
"I'm going to head to bed. I have a meeting in the morning and then have to visit Bash. Goodnight." She said, and left them.
"Fuck." Dylan said.
"Yeah." Fi said.

Sebastian's surgery went well. The surgeon came out and told them he was in recovery. Pearl waited for the ok to see him.
"Hey there." He said, sleepily.
"Hey." She said. "The doctors said it went exceptionally well."
"Good." He said, wincing. She hated seeing him like that.
"Dylan." He said.
"Bash, why do you keep asking about Dylan?" Pearl said. "He is fine. We are all fine."
He nodded and dozed back off. She sat with him until they moved him back to his room. A few hours later, his doctor came in.
"Well good morning, your majesty. I am glad to report that your surgery was a success. We are hoping to see some results soon."
"Thank you, Doctor. I am hoping the same." Sebastian said.
Pearl smiled as she held Sebastian's hand.
The doctors had a box with what looked like long little needles inside. He took one out and lightly poked the bottom of Sebastian's right foot.
Sebastian's eyes widened.
"Where is the prick?" The doctor asked.
"My heel." Sebastian said. The doctor smiled. He touched several other places and Sebastian could feel them all.
"Oh god. This is incredible!" Sebastian exclaimed.
The doctor moved to the left. When he poked there, Sebastian had a harder time feeling it. The doctor took out a thicker rod and still, nothing. He tried higher up and when he got to his calf, he felt it.
Sebastian seemed worried.
The doctor moved around his extremities and then his pelvic area. He felt little in his abdomen and nothing in his genitals.
"We will have to take the catheter out and see what happens. It might take some time." The doctor said.
"So that's ruined forever?" Sebastian asked.
"It's normal sometimes. Some nerves take a little longer to wake up. But you have a good result on your entire right leg, your majesty. I think that is quite promising." The doctor said. Pearl looked at him and kissed his forehead.
"I'm so happy." She said.
Sebastian seemed a disappointed. "Can I have more surgeries? Would that help?" He asked.
"Let's get you going in therapy. We can see just how much this helped and what work still needs to be done. That's the key here, work. And a lot of it. It's up to you now, your majesty." The doctor said. Sebastian nodded.
After the doctor left, Pearl began to praise him.
"This is wonderful! You will be walking soon!" She said.
"Stop. Just stop. There is no miracle cure here, Pearl. Let's be realistic. I may walk but I'll never be normal again. Not like the man I was." He said, looking away from her.
"Sebastian, you are the man you've always been. I love you." She said.
"No! I'm not!" Sebastian shouted, startling her.
"Go. Go and make love with Dylan. He can give you that, I can't! I can't even feel anything there. I know that's what's best for you anyway. This isn't your fault. It's mine." He said.
"What are you talking about, Sebastian?" Pearl asked, offended.
"I want you to. Just go and be with him. Take him to your bed. I can't give it to you anymore. He can just take you now." He said, tears streaming down his face.
"I don't know what your issue is with Dylan lately but this, what you just said, is so fucking wrong. And it pisses me off. How dare you talk to me like that? Tell me to do that?" She was furious.
"Go! I mean it. Go and fuck him. Go be with him! Go away!" He shouted. She tried to plead with him and he hit the call light. A nurse came in and Sebastian asked her to take Pearl out of the room.
"Sebastian, stop this! This is crazy!" She cried.
"You should have been with him years ago. This is the only proof we need of that. He loved you more than any of us ever did, anyway." He said as the nurse escorted her out.
Pearl fell to her knees and sobbed. Jim picked her up and carried her back to the palace.
