Chapter 601


    After failing to inform Shin, he returned to Avenport and discovered that Frieda and her son had gone


    missing. Frederick told him that he did not manage to save them.


    When Rufus heard that, he was so furious that he scolded Frederick harshly.


    As he had no other choice, he could only ept this unfortunate oue and return home with his


    newly-wed wife, Heather.


    No one would have expected that Frederick actually deceived him. Actually, he had already saved Frieda


    and her son. In order to protect them, he even raised the child as his own.


    As for Frieda, he kept her in the basement secretly for more than twenty years.


    Tears welled up in Rufus’ eyes.


    To avoid scaring her, he deliberately stayed far away and squatted down in front of her carefully.


    “Frieda, I know that you’ve recognized me. I’m sorry that I didn’t protect you and your son back then. If I


    had informed Shin in time, this wouldn’t have happened to you.”


    Shin?


    This name caused Frieda, who had been living in a constant nightmare, to slowly regain her rationality.


    “Shin… He’ll be here to pick us up…” She finally released her hands and revealed her eyes. Fear still


    lingered in them as she stared at Rufus with hope in her eyes.


    Rufus felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw her gaze.


    As expected, she had been triggered by him.


    That night, ording to the n he had devised with Frederick, he hid the then-pregnant Frieda at a


    safe ce first so the Jadesons would not find her.


    He only went to look for Shin afterward.


    However, looking at how she was now, he really did not dare to imagine what she had gone through that


    night.


    She even became crazy overnight!


    “Yeah, he’ll pick you up. I went to look for him and he instructed me to tell you that he’ll definitely pick you


    up.” After saying that, Rufus took out something.


    It was a military medal that was not given by the national army, but by an international organization.


    The medal was bronze, with twourels surrounding the globe in the middle. Carved on the top were the


    words, For World Peace.


    It was a medal of peace that was owned by Shin!


    When Frieda saw it, she trembled. Pouncing over, she snatched the medal away, clutched it to her chest


    and burst into tears.


    “This is his medal…. He’s not a bad guy… Not a bad guy…”


    Her miserable wails echoed in the room. No matter who heard it, they would definitely be moved and cry


    along with her.


    Indeed, Shin was not a bad guy.


    He simply persisted with his ambitions and followed his faith.


    Furthermore, he merely opposed his family and chose to walk his own path. How can a hero, who had


    been awarded an international peace medal, be ndered so horribly?


    Even his family did not have the right to do so!


    Suppressing his sorrow, Rufus walked over slowly. “Yeah, you’re right. He’s not a bad guy, nor did you


    harm him. He chose this path himself, so you mustn’t feel guilty or me yourself, okay?”


    He was smart enough to guess that Shin’s death alone might not be sufficient enough for her to have a


    complete mental breakdown, especially since she still had a child to care for.


    There must be another more unbearable reason that led to herplete breakdown.


    It might be because the Jadesons made her the scapegoat who was responsible for destroying Shin.


    When he said that, Frieda, who was crying her heart out, started calming down gradually. The look of


    agony on her face faded.


    “Are you telling the truth? I… I didn’t sabotage him?”


    “No! He chose this path, and he is also a hero. How can he be sabotaged by you? Frieda, please


    remember that Commander Shin had never said that you’d sabotaged him.”


    Rufus walked to her and told her that solemnly, emphasizing every single word.


    Frieda was silent for a while before crying again.


    This time, more tears streamed down her cheeks.


    However, Rufus knew that her tears now were tears of joy, because she had finally broken free from the


    invisible shackles.


    “I’m not crying… I… I have given him Sebby. Our Sebby has already grown up! He’ll be overjoyed…”


    Still sobbing, she suddenly spoke and mentioned Sebastian.


    Rufus smiled. “Yes. You’re so capable that you have bored such an exceptional son for Shin. He’ll be so


    happy that he’d beughing in his sleep.”


    “Yeah!”


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    She nodded firmly before breaking into a smile.


    Sabrina was still waiting for them downstairs. Why is Rufus talking to a madwoman? He must be out of


    his mind too!


    Is there something wrong with him as well, just like Frieda?


    Frowning, she nced upward.


    Surprisingly, after she waited in the courtyard for a while, she saw Rufus walking out of the room with


    Frieda following him.
