Chapter 0998
As soon as Sebastian’s words fell into the ward, Audrey and Madison were both taken aback, while Mason’s cousins exchanged bewildered glances.
“F–Fiancé?” Audrey stammered, her lips trembling.
Sebastian’s smile grew wider. He was the calmest person in the room at that
moment.
He explained, “Yes, I’m the youngest child of the Landon family, Sebastian Landon. Back then, Mr. Hill and my father agreed on an arranged marriage between me and Madison. Later, both families dismissed it as a joke, and I never took it seriously…
“But after Madison came to Jandersville for her graduate studies, we ended up in the same class and under the same supervisor. We gradually developed feelings for each other through our interactions and eventually got together. I believe that this is fate
a sign that we were already meant to be family.
“Madison has already met my parents and grandfather. The purpose of our trip here is to visit you and Mr. Hill on behalf of my father. He deeply regrets being unable to come in person and instructed me to apologize on his behalf. My father’s been incredibly busy…”
At this point, Sebastian paused and sighed deliberately. “He was tied up with government conferences at the start of the year. After that, he had to fly to Arup for a state visit and is expected to return to the country next month.
“At that time, we hope to invite you and Mr. Hill for a visit to Jandersville. On a personal note, I also wanted to take this chance to meet my future in–laws during this visit.
As Sebastian spoke, he extended his hand toward Madison. She immediately caught on and placed her hand in his, intertwining their fingers. They exchanged glances and smiled lovingly at each other.
The palpable affection between them was clear from the way their gazes were glued on each other. Anyone looking at them wouldn’t have believed that they weren’t a couple.
Seeing that Audrey was still caught in a daze, Madison whispered to her, “Mom, Seb
Sebastian is talking to you. You know Mr. Landon from Jandersville, right?
“Our families are living so far apart, and Mr. Landon has risen through the ranks so quickly in recent years. He couldn’t come to visit as frequently as before, so that’s

why you couldn’t recall him right away… noveldrama
Audrey said, “Huh? Oh… so it’s Sebastian! You’ve really grown so tall. My, you look like a fine young man now! How are your parents and your grandfather? With his position now… I imagine it must be quite stressful for him.”
Audrey had regained her composure at that moment. She instantly caught on to Madison’s hint and continued the act seamlessly.
“Come, Sebastian. Take a seat here. I’ll go and get you some water. You’ve traveled all this way here, and yet you had to witness such a mess. It’s truly… embarrassing.”
Without hesitation, Sebastian sat on the chair and pulled Madison down beside him. He swept a cold glance over the others in the room. “Are you facing some difficulties? As Madison’s fiancé, I consider myself part of the Hill family.
“Right now, your priority should be taking care of Mr. Hill and helping him recover as soon as possible. Leave it to me and Madison to handle less important matters.”
“Sure.” Audrey nodded immediately. Although she knew it was just an act, she inexplicably felt a surge of confidence. “You’re a dependable man. We can be rest assured with you handling things. Isn’t that right, Mason?”
Mason nodded weakly from the hospital bed
“Good. If I may be so bold, may I ask…” Sebastian’s cold gaze landed on Mason’s cousins. “I suppose all of you must be Madison’s uncles. Did I get that right?”
Standing beside him, Madison nodded. “Yes, in a way. My grandfather passed away early, so my dad is his only son. They are actually my dad’s cousins.”
“Oh, so they are Mr. Hill’s cousins. Are you all here to pay him a visit? How did it escalate to arguing with the patient’s family?”
Mason’s cousins were already in shock by Madison and Sebastian’s performance. They were caught off guard and exchanged quick glances, feeling uncertain.
This fiancé of Madison’s seemed to be from a significant background. He mentioned government conferences, state visits, and rising through the ranks… Even a fool could figure out that this young man was probably from a powerful family.
