Chapter 304 - Morning (1/2)
Sebastian Yue peered at the unenthusiastic expression that was plastered across Dragon's perfect facial features; the old man smiled brightly. ”Shi Chen -- meaning morning. The sunrise that warms up the coldness of the night. The beginning of the day, another chance for a good start… Shi Chen,”
For a brief while, Dragon looked at the old man like a kid that doesn't know how to respond. Such simple name yet, by how the old man Yue elaborate its meaning via his perspective, it felt... heartwarming. Dragon couldn't respond as Sebastian Yue's words kept ringing inside his mind.
'Shi Chen…'
Seeing that Dragon was neither displeased nor protesting, Sebastian Yue was satisfied. He must admit that he grew fonder of this young lad after quite some time hanging out with Dragon. Too bad, it seemed to him that Dragon was unhappily living his boring life and probably suffering from his condition which made Sebastian Yue felt sorry for him.
”Say, disciple… will you continue fighting until you defeat your sickness? Waking up in the morning thinking that someday, you'll be victorious?” Sebastian Yue's elderly voice snapped Dragon back from his stupor and he blinked his eyelids before getting his attention back to Sebastian Yue.
Before he realized it, the corner of Dragon lips slightly curled upward. ”You should too, Master.”
”Grandpa -- I am just kidding when I said call me Master -- what an obedient kid you are, haha!” Sebastian Yue chuckled by how Dragon obediently calls him master even though it doesn't seem he was the type of person to submit easily. Nonetheless, he liked this young man. If not for the fact that Seraphina told him that she wanted to settle down with Liam, Sebastian Yue wouldn't mind arranging a blind date for her granddaughter with Dragon.
When a light knock was heard from outside, Dragon courtly excused himself telling Sebastian Yue that his attending physician would get worried when he found out that he wasn't around which Sebastian Yue understood.
Wheeling himself out, Ezt who was dressed in Jin Medical nurse uniform assisted his master back to his own private ward. For some reason, Ezt sensed the bright albeit faint aura of his master. Alas, he didn't dare probed and did his job quietly.
The moment they reached Dragon's designated luxurious hospital room, Dragon ordered sternly, ”Add the people securing Sebastian Yue. Everyone around him must be examined thoroughly -- dig everyone's history and activities. If anyone was suspicious from getting bribes, kill them... That's an order.”
Receiving Dragon's sudden order, Ezt glanced at his master's back before nodding in understanding and left. Since they already dispatched few people to secure the whole Jin Medical Group, especially the floor where their master and Sebastian Yue were staying, Ezt was still baffled on Dragon's reason for raising the security of Seraphina's grandfather. Regardless, whatever Dragon's reason was, Ezt must abide without question.

The very next day, as promised, Dragon fulfilled Sebastian Yue's request. Looking at Sebastian Yue's vibrant aura, Dragon spoke, ”I saw your most treasure grandchild.”
”Oh ho, isn't she pretty?” Hearing him say he saw Seraphina, Sebastian Yue was evidently excited and his eyes sought for compliments regarding his Seffy. Alas, Dragon's next comment made the old man Yue's face distort with dismay.
