AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

“If you think of something, don’t forget to tell me, okay?

She continued to hug him and didn’t speak. She looked down before slowly closing them.

He didn’t force her to talk because she didn’t want to. She couldn’t eat and he didn’t force her either. Worst case scenario, he would call the doctor to give him intravenous feeding.

She only drank two glasses of water all day; she didn’t eat anything at all. She snuggled into Sebastien’s arms as if it were the safest place in the world.

…

In the evening, she woke up in a daze. She could hear Sebastian’s voice.

– Send all the experts immediately. Whatever happens, you need to make sure she’s okay.

When she opened her eyes, it took her a few moments to concentrate. Then something crossed her mind and she sat up abruptly. She looked at Sebastien and said in a very hoarse and low voice:

– Grandmother …

Sebastien, who was sitting at the bedside, held her hand and said in a low voice:

“I’ll talk to you about it, but you have to promise me you’ll stay calm. You have to stay calm.

She nodded hastily.

– I don’t know how your grandmother found out about the post office… But when she found out, she was so angry that she fainted…

Before he could say another word, Roxane threw off the blanket, got off the bed, and ran barefoot to the door. Unfortunately, she had only taken two steps before being assailed by a wave of dizziness. She staggered to her feet, almost falling.

Sebastien quickly supported her. His tone was slightly bored as he said:

– You didn’t promise me to stay calm?

Roxane’s tears streamed down her face. She pulled on his shirt, saying in a hoarse voice:

– Grandma… Grandma…

The tears falling on her pale face made her more fragile, making Sebastian’s heart ache. He really couldn’t bear to get angry with her. He gently used his thumb to wipe the tears from her face as he said:

– I have already sent the best specialists to the hospital. Your parents are also in the hospital. Your grandmother will be fine. Don’t cry anymore, okay?

She didn’t want to cry at all. However, she couldn’t hold back her tears. She was worried about her grandmother and the thought of losing her grandmother scared her. Her thin body couldn’t help but tremble.

-If you’re obedient, I’ll take you to see your grandmother, okay?

She nodded. Beads of tears still clung to her eyelashes.

– Freshen up and change your clothes first, Sebastian said, tucking a lock of hair behind his ears. Then he asked:

– Should I tell Christine to come help you?

She nodded again.

After preparing his clothes, Sebastien told Christine to come upstairs. Before leaving, he said to Christine in a low voice:Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

– Try talking to him more. However, don’t force her to talk if she doesn’t want to.

She nodded sensibly. She smiled at Roxane and said:

– Roxane, let me help you change, okay?

She lowered her head and nodded slightly.

…

When Sebastien came down, he saw Enzo sitting in front of the computer. He was holding a cigarette between his fingers. The curls of smoke from the cigarette slightly blurred his handsome face.

Sebastien said:

– She’s going to the hospital to visit your grandmother. Put out your cigarette.

For the first time, Enzo didn’t argue. He put out the cigarette.

– How is it? Did you discover anything from the IP address? Sebastian asked.

– The IP address comes from an internet cafe. The cafe’s surveillance camera is broken. I always check nearby surveillance cameras.

The number of customers in an Internet cafe was very high. People were constantly coming in and out throughout the day. A single computer could be used by more than a dozen people per day. It wouldn’t be easy to find the poster.

– I already spoke at the university. There will be no more messages about Roxane, but… he said coldly,

– I will not exclude the possibility that messages are published on other forums. We must be careful.

– I know.

He nodded. As far as Roxane was concerned, he was no less worried than Sebastien.

…

After Christine helped weak Roxane change, she helped her tie her hair into a bun. She asked:

– Roxane, your face is quite pale. Do you want to put on a little lipstick to add color to your face?

She looked at herself in the mirror. In just two days, she seemed to have lost a lot of weight. She looked pale and haggard as if all energy had been drained from her. She was like a rose that faded day by day.

She felt like she had gone back to the past where nothing had changed for the better. She felt like she was still trapped in the abyss, and no one had come to save her.

She suddenly blushed as tears fell.

Seeing this, Christine panicked. She hastened to say:

-Sister-in-law, don’t cry. If you cry, I won’t be able to explain myself to my brother…

She froze before looking at Christine in a daze.

Christine panicked again.

-Did I say something wrong, sister-in-law? Why don’t you scold me or hit me? Don’t cry, okay? Otherwise, brother will kill me… If you don’t want to wear lipstick, don’t. You’re pretty like that! I’m serious. You are the most beautiful in this world!

She lowered her head as the tears continued to fall.

-…

‘It’s finish. I am dead.’

Christine asked:

-Sister-in-law, what’s wrong? Tell me. Don’t scare me, okay?

Roxane shook her head. She looked at Christine and said in a hoarse but determined voice:

– Help me put on my makeup.
