They can never know the baby's existence.
"I have called the ambulance already, Jack," Sebastian turns to Jack Fuller, "And Ava's wound has stopped
bleeding. She is not in danger."
"So?! Ava's injured! She has to go to the hospital anyway!" Jack Fuller grunts in frustration, "Am | asking too

"What did you just fucking call me?!" He turns towith a shocked face.
Seriously? After our bad fallout, my addressing is the most shocking to him? | guess the truth that he raised me
as a slave was too normal for him to notice how bad it
was.
"Jack!" Sebastian turns around, standing in front ofagainst Jack Fuller, his voice steady but dominant,
"Please, go attend to Ava. | need to talk to my wife, ALONE."
Still dreaming of having Sebastian as his legit son-in-law, Jack Fuller doesn't argue, but just leaves with an

"He might not hurt you, but he didn't choose you," Adrian furrows his eyebrows. deeply, pain written in his eyes,
"please...you don't owe him anything anymore..."
