AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Sebastien and Raoul entered the room together.

Christine couldn’t hide the joy in her eyes when she saw him.

– What are you doing here?

– You didn’t answer my call, so I called the housekeeper. She said you came to visit Roxane.

Raoul carried a basket of flowers and fruit for the visit.

– I’m here to visit Roxane too. I’ll take you home.

Christine revealed an innocent smile.

– I forgot to charge my phone before leaving the house. My phone ran out of battery and turned off.

– Small . He pinched the tip of his nose, took out a palm-sized power bank and a data cable from his pocket, and helped her charge her phone.

– Remember to bring the power bank with you next time you go out.

Christine nodded obediently.

– I understand.

Only then did Raoul look up at Roxane.

– Are you fine?

She shook her head and smiled.

– you should come home for lunch. I will be released in the afternoon. It’ll be fine.

Raoul nodded.

– Have a good rest then. I’ll take Christy to the Moon Pavilion to see you another day.

Roxane accepted.

After Raoul and Sebastien greeted each other, he pushed Christine’s wheelchair and left.

Sebastien came out of the kitchen with a plate of three dishes and a soup. The chef had started cooking the bone soup before dawn, sprinkled with green onions, and the aroma instantly filled the entire room.

– Did you eat? , asked Roxane.

– Yes. Sebastien replied indifferently. In fact, he wasn’t eating and he didn’t have the appetite to eat.

– Eat first, I’ll get your exam report.

Roxane nodded.

– Alright.

Sebastien stood by the bed for a moment, then turned and left.

The attending physician was already waiting for him at the office. As soon as he saw him come in, he immediately stood up and said:

– President Flores.

He nodded slightly.

– I’m here to get my wife’s exam report.

The doctor’s expression changed slightly,

– President Flores, Mrs. Flores’ medical report has been released. All other indicators are normal, but she is not in good health.

When Sebastien returned to the room, Roxane had already finished eating. She got out of bed and put her things away.

He stood at the door of the ward and did not wait. His pair of black eyes were like an abyss, so deep that one could not see the bottom and there was no light or warmth.

Roxane seemed to have sensed something. She turned around and smiled at him.

– You are back.

He came to himself and hid the dark look that shone in his eyes. He gave a soft “hmm” and walked in, putting down the exam report and taking things from her hands.

– Leave it to me, you can just lie down.

– My back doesn’t hurt as much anymore. It’s uncomfortable to lie down.

Roxane’s bright eyes were filled with anticipation as she looked at him.

-Can I be released?

She felt like she was okay.

Sebastian threw away the rest of the food and washed the dishes.

– Do you really want to be released?

Roxane leaned against the kitchen door and nodded quickly.

– It’s so boring to stay in the hospital. Plus, my back doesn’t really hurt anymore.

Sebastien didn’t turn around to look at her. He replied while washing the dishes:

– I’ll have someone do the discharge procedures later.

– That’s great.

She was so happy that she almost jumped, but she felt a pain in her back and immediately stopped.

She looked at Sebastian’s tall, white figure and seemed afraid that he would go back on his words. She quickly added:

– I’m going to go change.

His hands, which were washing the dishes under the tap, suddenly stopped. He turned to look at the slender, happy back, his dark eyes full of sadness.

***

Although Sebastien agreed to let Roxane leave the hospital, he still didn’t let her get out of bed when she came home. She had to stay in bed.

Roxane tried to resist.

– I really feel like I’m doing well. As long as I don’t jump or make any big moves, it really won’t hurt.

Sebastien’s expression was calm and he said without any possibility of discussion:

-You can either stay in bed and recover, or I’ll ask mom to take care of you.

She immediately gave up.

She didn’t want her parents to worry the most.

Fortunately, she could sit up after lying down for a while. Otherwise, it would be uncomfortable to lie down.

Although Sebastien had not agreed to her going abroad, the butler had placed the application documents she had brought back on the bedside table. Sebastien didn’t throw them away when he saw them and pretended not to see them.

She asked the servant to take a pen and fill in the information to submit later.

He pushed the door open and walked in with a glass of juice in his hand. When he saw her filling out the information, his eyes visibly darkened.

She placed the cup on the bedside table and turned to leave.

She looked up at his back and shouted:

– Seb.

He stopped suddenly, but he didn’t turn around.

– I have to submit my application documents tomorrow.

However, he probably wouldn’t allow her to go out in her current state.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Sebastien turned his head to look at her and seemed a little surprised.

– Do you want me to give you the form?

Roxane nodded.

-If you don’t help me, I’ll have to go to school by myself.

– You’re not afraid that I’ll tear up the application form?

“You won’t,” Roxane replied with a smile.

-If you wanted to tear it up, you would have done it a long time ago.

Sebastian’s eyes darkened.

-Whether this place is yours or not is just my word.

– It is very good. I will submit the information first. If I really can’t go this time, I can apply myself later. It might be a little more embarrassing.

She had an optimistic smile on her face. She was neither discouraged nor angry because of his words.

Even if Seb really made her lose this opportunity, she wouldn’t be angry and wouldn’t give up either.

Sebastian met her clear and bright eyes, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
