Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover Chapter 1292
Boom! Sebastian was woken up by a giant explosion.
Has it begun?
He scanned his surrounding, only to realize that he was still restrained in the basement. The guard who
had been watching him was equally shocked by the loud bombing sound. He jumped out of his chair
and ran toward Sebastian at once.
According to Eddie’s original plan, this is supposed to be our headquarters. As soon as everything has
been carried out successfully in Jadeborough, the troop will return triumphantly. The explosion is
completely unexpected. Did the plan change?
The guard scurried to his bed side.
“What do you want?” Sebastian asked coldly.
The guard answered, “I’m surprised at how bold the Jadesons can get. Things were developing so well,
yet an accident still happen. What do I want? I surely want to bring you along with me. Do you really
think that I’ll hand you over so easily?”
Next, he took out a syringe and a tube of unknown liquid from the drawer beside the bed.
Sebastian’s eyes widened in shock.

situation outside?” reminded Sebastian while trying hard to suppress his fear.
The guard was stunned. “What do you mean? You know what’s going on outside?”
“As a matter of fact, I do. This is because everything that is happening now is under my control. If you
were to let me go now, I’ll guarantee your safety,” Sebastian made a tempting offer.
His words made the guard reconsider his action. Lowering his head, he mulled it over in disbelief. He
was really struggling from within, debating the best decision to be made.
Actually, I don’t have a choice, do I? It’s not the first time Sebastian has humiliated us. Even the
Chairman views him as his greatest rival.
His position had started to falter upon hearing what Sebastian said, coupled with the bombing sounds
heard.
Should I let him go? The guard held the syringe tightly.
“Don’t you worry, I won’t settle the score with you should you let me go. On the contrary, I’ll give you a
lump sum, and you can do whatever you want with the money.”
Seeing the sparkle in his eyes, Sebastian followed up with an even better condition.
However, he least expected the stupid guard to still choose Eddie after toying with the idea for so long.
“I won’t betray my master. To be honest with you, he’s the only one who treats me with dignity over all
these years. When I was still a beggar, he sheltered and fed me. All of you wealthy folks did not even
bother to look at us through the corner of your eyes. Hence, Sebastian, I won’t turn my back against
him regardless of the consequence!” he roared fiercely.
Right then, Sebastian who was handcuffed, witnessed how the guard injected the unknown substance
into his neck through a sharp needle.
Clank!
With his eyes burning with rage, Sebastian had nowhere to hide on the narrow bed. He tried avoiding it,
but to no avail.
Within seconds, he was pinned down. The guard took up the syringe once again and stared at him with
a devilish look. “Go to hell! My master says that you shall be his company in the after-life if the plan
fails.”
At that split second, the door to the basement was suddenly kicked open from the outside, to which the
guard turned his head in response.
Bang! A gunshot was fired.
Sebastian saw a bullet hit the center of the guard’s forehead. The latter then shut his eyes and fell over.

Upon seeing the guard had fallen dead, the man who pulled the trigger entered the room.
Sebastian was astounded to see the person who just walked in. “Edmund? It’s you?”
The man who saved him in the nick of time was Edmund, who heeded Sebastian’s advice and returned
to Yorksland.
“Why can’t it be me? Didn’t you connect the dots? I’m the son of Benedict Cooper. You would have
guessed that the old man would engage me at the most critical moment to get the job done, wouldn’t
you?”
Edmund was still his usual, languid, and carefree self.
Nonetheless, his actions were swift. He proceeded to release Sebastian from the cuffs, tossed the
dead body out, and ransacked the room for the key.
Lying down on the bed, a wave of guilt suddenly washed Sebastian over.
Back then, he was a tad bit cruel to make Edmund leave for Yorksland, just so that the latter would not
be a stumbling block between Sabrina and Devin. As the son of Benedict, Edmund had indeed carried
out a lot of favors for the Jadeson family. Unfortunately, Sebastian sent him away due to personal
reasons.
It did not take long for Edmund to find the key and unlock the shackle on Sebastian’s wrists.
“I’m sorry for sending you back to Yorksland. That was very insensible of me.” In the end, Sebastian
pressed his lips and apologized.
