His bedroom is full of old photos and the latest pictures are with the Young Family during Ca.s.sandra's 12th birthday.

His bedroom cannot open just by someone, it has a system that could be only open through his phone.

Before he went downstairs of his mansion, he hung first the newly printed pictures he put on photo frames. One day, he wanted to show these all to Ca.s.sandra but right now, this room must stay as a secret one.

Shun picks up a photo from Ca.s.sandra's 12th birthday. Seeing the same smile she has back then, heals all the pain on these pa.s.sing years.

Quinn patting Ca.s.sandra's back for her to fall asleep. She won't let go of him since she learned that he has to leave soon. He has been receiving Rudolf's text messages that he wants him to make a call if he could, sooner if possible but Ca.s.sandra is holding him tight. He can't go outside to check them out if what's going on now.

His heart aches to think he has to leave soon, however, he has to go back, he has a bad feeling that something is going on back there.

While thinking a lot of things and scenarios, Quinn later on falls asleep and he was awakened when someone shaking on his shoulder, it was Landon.

He glanced at Ca.s.sandra who was still hugging him and pillowed on his shoulder. He holds her head and gently put her on the pillow then slowly took her hand that still hugging him.

After making sure Ca.s.sandra did not it showing of waking up, he follows Landon outside.

"Papa?" he approached him in the living room.

"Quinn, come sit." Landon gestured the opposite wood sofa where another cup of coffee waiting for him.

"Is something wrong, papa?" he asked the man in front of him. He was on his 40 now but still, he looks so young on his age. Looking at them bring together, they were just like had a long age gap siblings.

"Quinn, did you sneak out of the facility to come here?" Landon asked him.

"Papa…"

"Quinn, I am glad you were able to see us, but you don't have to risk your life to come."

"I know, but if I won't find a way, I don't know when I could see you all, again." Sadness flashes on his face.

Landon smiled. "We were always waiting for you… just remembered, you have a home you can come back to… so, please go back to the facility now while Ca.s.sandra was sleeping."

Hesitation registered on his face, he wanted to stay another day but the information Landon told him horrified him at the same time made him so angry.

"Quinn, Dr. Helen contacted me… you need to go back now and save your sister."

"What they did to Blaire!?"

"Calm down, they just wanted you to go back. Come to see us again when you don't need to sneak out like this, okay?"

"Don't worry about us, and I will explain to her when she wakes up and found you were gone. She is old enough now, it is time for Ca.s.sandra to know why you left, and why you have to leave one more time."

He sighed then smiled. "Thank you, Papa."

"We always here for you… but promise us that you will come back to Hiryuu Island one day, we are always waiting even how long, okay?"

He was choking. Ever since in the beginning, Landon stood like a father to him. When his parents died that car accident, Landon takes care of him because both of the De La Rue and Williams House stayed silent on the whole incident to avoid creating controversy to their families. They more think of their name than what happened to Lily De La Rue. He was still very angry all these years.

After his conversation with Landon, he went back to Ca.s.sandra's bedroom to have a glimpse of her before he left. He quietly sits on the bed and stroke her hair.

"I'm sorry if I have to leave you once again. I promised I will see you someday, no matter what, even the world goes upside down, we will be together again." Quinn whispered to her, he's very careful not to wake her up.

He kissed her forehead and before he stood up, he planted a kiss on her cheek and whispered something on her ear…

Hannah is waiting for him at the front of the door of this cottage. She hugs him and cried while saying goodbye.

"I promised I'll come back, Mama…" he told her, finally be able to call her mama again.

He watched the couple on the car's side view mirror before he drove the car towards the address Rudolf texted him. He has no idea, that was the last time he will going to see them.

When he arrived at the place, he saw the Williams Medical Facility helicopter waiting. His friends were also there, waiting for him.

"Quinn! Save mom, please!" Rudolf rushes to him and holds him on the shoulder. He looks very worried.

He nodded and held his shoulder. He turns around and looks angrily at his bodyguards, "I will just go back if you will take them with me."

He was really angry but he tries to stay calm. He received a call threatened him that he will no longer to see Blaire and Doctor Helen if he won't go back.

The Head of the Security stared at him for a long moment before he nod and told them to ride the helicopter waiting for Quinn.

When they arrived at the facility, he quickly searches for them. Blaire run towards him when she got to see him coming back.

"Brother, am so sorry." She sobs.

"It's okay, are you alright? They don't hurt you?" He asked worriedly.

"No, they haven't. But said, we won't see you again and Doctor Helen won't see her son if you won't come back."

"I'm sorry for dragging you into this…"

"Hmm… not really." Blaire shook her head. "Am happy you got to see her again. How was it?"

"Ah, wait… here," he showed the photos he took.

"Wow. She's so pretty!"

"Yes. Also, here... Landon and Hannah are great people. I will introduce you to them one day."

"I would love that! Like what mama said, Mr. Landon is a very kind person."

"Wait, they know each other, right?"

"Hmm… he helps mom when papa died when you both went to France. I was about to be born at that time and mom doesn't want to accept by her parents because she got pregnant. He gives a huge amount to mom to raise me after she'll give birth to me. She saves it but when she got a boyfriend and discovered about of her savings, he hurt mom to get the money. She gives it to promised to leave us alone, and that's how we kicked out of the apartment we rented, then we have to leave to another state. However, her boyfriend came back, and she accepts him back."

And the rest of the story, Blaire raise by a troubled family as her mom cannot leave him. Shun thought. Aside from everything, it overwhelms him how Landon did a lot for him without knowing them. His respect for him even greater than before.

"Ah, brother Daichi mentioned that prohibited to mention the Young's so I haven't talked to you about it yet."

"I see… am happy to hear now."

Shun hangs back the photo frame and step out of his bedroom, he makes sure it was securely locked, then he took another glimpse of Ca.s.sie and planted a kiss on her lips.

Blaire was waiting for him on the staircase. "Blaire?"

"Ah, I wanted to send you off... Did Ca.s.sie sleeping now?"

"Yes, she is... thank you," Shun put his hand on Blaire's shoulder then together went to his study room.

"Don't worry about her, okay? We all be here to watch her over."

"Thank you."

Before Shun left, he signed more doc.u.ments and give instructions to his five directors, including about Ca.s.sie. He is much troubled to be away this time around.
