Billionaire's Regret Finding Her (Caitlin and Sebastian) novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76

Caitlin quickly pulled her hand away from Sebastian’s grasp and placed her son’s hand into his. This is your son’s hand

Oh, Sebastian replied, grasping Howard’s small hand, feeling the relief of having his son back in his arms.

If anything had happened to Howard, he would have blamed himself forever. How could he call himself a good father if he couldn’t even protect his only son? How could he explain this to Camellia when she returned?

After a while, Sebastian spoke, his voice softer than usual. “Thank you for saving Howard tonight.”

This was the first time he sincerely expressed gratitude to her. He was thanking her for noticing the fire in time and rescuing his son.

“There’s no need for thanks,” Caitlin replied nonchalantly. “He’s my son, after all. It’s only natural for me to save my own child.”

Sebastian, still holding Howard’s small hand, remained silent for a while before asking, “By the way, how did you even notice the fire?”

The Vanderbilt estate and Beatrice’s residence were far apart, located diagonally across from each other on the property.

“You wouldn’t let me be with Howard, and Beatrice is in the hospital, with Molly and Marcus there as well. I was worried about Howard being alone, sof went to check on him. I didn’t expect a fire.”

Her words hinted at resentment, blaming him for keeping her away from the child. Caitlin’s voice trembled as she recalled the terrifying blaze.

Sebastian paused and thought about it. He understood now–Caitlin was truly concerned for Howard. Maybe he had been too narrow–minded in restricting her from seeing the child.

“Forget it. Once Howard gets out of the hospital, I’ll

“What? You mean it?”

“Of course, I do.”

him stay with you.”

As long as his eyesight and legs hadn’t fully recovered, Howard needed someone to protect him, and Caitlin seemed the most suitable person for the job.

“Okay, I understand.”

The fire had allowed Caitlin to regain her guardianship over Howard, a small but significant victory in her life.

The room fell into a rare moment of peace as both Sebastian and Caitlin focused on the child’s well–being.

Soon, Xavi knocked and entered, informing them, “Mr. Vanderbilt, Marcus and Molly are here and want to see the child.”

“Let them in,” Caitlin answered.

Marcus and Molly entered shortly afterward.

Seeing her nephew on the hospital bed, Molly’s face softened with concern. “What happened? I heard there was a fire at home?”

Marcus followed, looking worried. “I just got a call from the Vanderbilt estate. Mr. Vanderbilt, Madam, is Howard okay?”

“Howard is fine now,” Sebastian reassured them. “But don’t mention this to Beatrice for now.”

“We haven’t told her, don’t worry,” Marcus said.

“Marcus, you should head back and manage things at home. Also, call the police and have them investigate the fire’s cause,” Sebastian ordered.

“Got it, I’ll go now.”

Marcus left, and Molly lingered, looking between the child and her brother, sighing.

What’s going on with The Vanderbilt Family? Why does everything keep going wrong? It’s like we’re cursed. Who knows who’s next?

Molly, go back and take care of Beatrice. We’ll handle things here.”

Molly agreed, her worry evident. “Alright, I’ll go. But take care of yourselves.”

Sebastian nodded, his mind heavy with the state of the family. The Vanderbilt Family was in turmoil, and he knew he needed more people to protect them.

Though Xavi had been with him for years, he was only one man, and not enough to deal with the current threats. Sebastian had already contacted The Obsidian Order to send skilled operatives to New York to help uncover any internal conspiracies.

“I’m fine. Why don’t you go rest instead?” Caitlin raised an eyebrow, noticing his disheveled state. “You came all the way here without even putting on shoes.”

Sebastian felt embarrassed at the mention of it. His toes curled as he realized she was right. He had planned to return and change, but hearing footsteps outside, he rushed here as soon as possible.

Sebastian immediately recognized Simon’s voice, and his heart skipped a beat. Simon was everywhere lately–whether it was dining, singing, or now, chasing them to the hospital.

Simon noticed Sebastian for the first time, his eyes widening in surprise. “Mr. Vanderbilt? I didn’t realize you were here… sorry, I only brought one drink.”

Caitlin thanked Simon and he handed her the drink, then continued, “Thanks!”

Simon, noticing Sebastian, added, “Oh, I didn’t realize Mr. Vanderbilt was here. I didn’t bring an extra drink, sorry about that.”
