Chapter 1268: Extra Story: Sebastian & Violet (End)
"Huh?"
Violet looked at him, bewildered and puzzled.
She heard Sebastian say,
"The concert is tomorrow, I’m worried that finishing it might have side effects that affect my condition tomorrow."
Violet’s eyes widened slightly, "That can’t be, right?"
Sebastian responded with a serious expression,
"Have you done this kind of paperwork before?"
It was Violet’s first divorce, so how could she have done it before? She shook her head immediately.
Sebastian continued,
"See, you haven’t done it either, you don’t know if finishing this process will have an impact on you, and I don’t want to take the risk."
Sebastian wasn’t deliberately shirking, as it was nearing an important work time, he had to be in his best condition.
Starting two days ago, he had been fasting from any food that might cause pressure on his throat or facial swelling.
Now, they were both unsure if burning the Underworld divorce paperwork would have any impact on their spirits or fortunes, so the best course was to temporarily maintain the status quo.
He suggested,
Violet listened to him and felt there was some sense to it.
Blame her for coming late again.
"If you don’t mind, can we wait until my tour ends completely to divorce?" Sebastian asked.
Violet almost couldn’t hold back a laughter upon hearing this,
"If you don’t mind, how could I mind?"
As she said that, as if murmuring softly,
"After all, a normal person suddenly being bound to a Nether Contract with Life Impermanence, feels very uncomfortable..."
Her voice was very soft, more like an offhand remark, yet Sebastian caught it, thinking of her occasional self-deprecation before, he frowned slightly,
"I’ve never minded being bound to a Nether Contract with you, why would you think I would feel uncomfortable?"
He said this, not waiting for her to speak, and seriously asked her,
"Did I do something before to offend your identity?"
Seeing him suddenly serious, Violet hurriedly waved her hands,
"No, no, you didn’t offend me."
To be honest, she has offended him more times.
She wanted to laugh it off, but seeing Sebastian still seriously staring at her, as if waiting for an answer,
Violet felt a bit inexplicable tightness at her heart.
She sat on the sofa beside her, placing her hands on her knees, sitting like a child called to the principal, then asked him softly,
"You’ve seen me work, don’t you feel repulsed by the profession of Impermanence?"
It’s said hospitals are the closest places to death, and the most frequent residents are Impermanence.
But in hospitals, doctors save lives, Impermanence is responsible for taking people away.
No one likes the presence of Impermanence.
Because it usually means someone nearby has died.
Just like after death, funerals are held, but normally, when people encounter funeral homes, they tend to avoid them, afraid of being tainted with a bit of bad luck.
After Violet became a Life Impermanence, she had grown used to these things.
Yet that day, when Sebastian tried to save the dying, it still produced an inexplicable sense of defeat within Violet.
It was a defeat that made her clearly aware of the gap between her and Sebastian.
Even when rejected during blind dates, she never felt like that, yet that day, even though Sebastian didn’t show a hint of disdain or rejection toward her, she just felt inexplicably sad.
Violet was never a sensitive or inferior person, but that day in front of Sebastian, she was sensitive.
Perhaps deep down, she feared he might reject her too.
Her voice was light, but to Sebastian’s ears, it stirred a sudden tremor in his heart.
At this moment, he finally realized what she was concerned about.
"Why would you think I’d reject the existence of Impermanence?"
Sebastian looked at her, with a deep voice, questioning,
"Doctors saving lives doesn’t mean Impermanence is killing people."
These people didn’t die because Impermanence appeared.
Rather, they died, hence Impermanence appeared.
"Life and death have order, I understand Impermanence as maintaining order after death, what you do is never wrong, and if there’s any mistake... it’s that day, I was wrong."
Violet kept sitting, at this moment she lifted her head, looking a bit surprised at the person in front of her, seemingly not expecting him to give such an answer.
Seeing her like this, Sebastian couldn’t resist reaching his hand, pressing his palm gently on her head.
Violet’s raised head was forced down due to his sudden action, just about to protest, she heard his low hoarse voice from above again.
"There’s one more thing I forgot to tell you that day."
He said,
"The way you insisted on protecting and trying all you could to save that person, it was really cool!"
Violet’s forced down head became suddenly tense because of his last three words.
Pupils trembled slightly, along with uncontrollable heartbeats, thrumming.
An inexplicable joy surged from the chest cavity, she suddenly broke free from his hand, lifting her head again, looking at him, her eyes brightened incredibly,
"Are you saying it’s true? You’re not just trying to sweet-talk me?"
Sebastian suddenly met her eyes filled with light, suddenly feeling somewhat embarrassed to meet them.
Instinctively averting his gaze, the fingers that had just patted her head felt slightly warm, but his mouth remained straightforward,
"Really."
Sebastian watched as the person in front of him burst into a big smile instantly, confident and enthusiastic, just like every time she appeared in front of him in the past.
Strangely, Sebastian sensed something silently and quietly changed between him and the person in front of him.
Having talked things over, they agreed to meet again after the concert work ended.
However, when he was sending Violet out the door, he inexplicably called her back.
"Wait a minute."
As if making some decision, he quickly turned and pulled out an envelope from the drawer beside him, handing it to her.
"Inside are the VIP tickets for the best seats of my upcoming concerts, if you come, use these tickets."
Violet looked at the envelope he handed over, her eyes brightened again, her heart uncontrollably thumping,
"That—that’s so kind of you."
As she spoke, her hands quickly and straightforwardly took the envelope and happily tucked it into her bag.
Then she heard Sebastian say,
"So you won’t end up sneaking in without a ticket to watch."
Violet felt choked by his words, couldn’t help but give him a side look.
What was wrong with her sneaking in for a concert?
This too is chasing stars on strength!
Thinking to herself, she obediently replied, "Got it."
She waved goodbye, until she walked far away, out of sight, Violet then secretly stomped her foot, mumbling, "I thought..."
It was a special invitation.
Turns out it was just because he feared she might sneak in.
Grumbling, she pulled out the envelope, opened it, inside were a bunch of VIP tickets for various cities’ tours.
"So many places, how could I catch up without sneaking in..."
Looking more carefully,
"Why is there only one ticket for each venue?"
Isn’t it normal to send two tickets?
What if she wanted to go with a friend?
Later on, Violet heard a saying, called the sister-in-law exclusive VIP personal seat, given to one person only.
