AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

In the lake.

Sebastien finally found Roxane at the bottom of the lake. He grabbed her hand, pulled her into his arms, and quickly went back upstairs.

Logan was the first to discover them. He stepped forward to help them and pushed them both to the shore.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Roxane’s pale face was covered with water droplets and her body was so cold that there was no warmth.

– Sebastian’s cold white features were full of panic and worry, and he continued to pat her face.

Roxane’s eyes were closed, her moist eyelashes were still and her breath was almost exhausted.

Sebastian first checked his breathing, then turned his head and placed his ear against his heart. His low heartbeat seemed to disappear at any moment.

He didn’t dare to hesitate. He immediately picked her up and pressed his knee against her abdomen. His head bowed, his cold palm pressed against his back as he poured the water.

– Roxane… Roxane…

His deep voice was filled with great unease and fear, and even the end of his voice was trembling.

– Uh…

Roxane opened her mouth and spat out a puddle of water.

Sebastien immediately laid her down and patted her cheek with his fingers.

– Roxane, can you hear me?

Although she vomited water, she did not wake up and her breathing was still weak.

He pinched her nose and lowered his head to transfer air to her, again and again. The water beads on his face were no longer clear whether it was water or sweat, and the corners of his eyes gradually turned red.

Roxane’s aura was getting weaker and weaker…

Logan showed up to help with CPR and Sebastian performed artificial respiration.

She still hasn’t responded.

Sebastien lost control of his emotions. He held his face in his hands and his voice was choked.

– Roxane, you didn’t want to go to Paris? I’m letting you go, I’m letting you go…

Roxane, I admit defeat.

Next to it, Christine, who was in Raoul’s arms, saw this scene. Tears fell like rain from a broken faucet.

She couldn’t bear to look away.

– eh eh …

Mylene was grounded but she still revealed a smug smile when she saw this scene. His eyes were scarlet and his smile was twisted and sinister. His laughter was getting louder and louder.

– Sebastien, this is your retribution! Your reward has finally arrived…

Sebastien didn’t seem to hear her words and continued to transfer energy to Roxane.

When the ambulance arrived, Logan pulled him away. Emergency personnel carried Roxane into the ambulance and rushed to the hospital while providing emergency treatment.

Christine had also fallen into the water. Raoul carried her into the ambulance.

When Sebastien turned around, he heard Mylene’s wild and proud laughter. Every sound was like the roar of an evil ghost from hell.

His face was ashen as he walked towards her and crouched down. His eagle eyes stared at her as he leaned forward and said in a low voice:

-All these years, didn’t you just want to know how Lorraine died?

The smile on Mylene’s face froze and she immediately held her breath. His sinister eyes stared into her face.

Sebastien’s cold voice sounded cruel, and each word was like a knife stabbing Mylene’s heart.

– I personally pushed Lorraine out of the window. Are you satisfied with this answer? Mom.

This “mother” was not a form of respect, but a form of revenge!

The son she had been carrying for ten months had killed her beloved daughter.

And she could do nothing but roar helplessly.

Mylene had completely lost her mind. Her eyes were red and she continued to roar and struggle with all her might. However, she was held tightly by two strong men and her head was pressed against the ground.

Her tears, snot and saliva were all over the floor. She was in a sad state.

Sebastien didn’t look at her anymore and got into the car.

This “mother” was revenge, but it was also a form of separation. From now on, he would have nothing to do with this woman.

In his memory, the woman who softly called him “Sebastien” and smiled and said, “Sebastien, come to mom” had finally died.

She was dead.

***

Roxane felt like she had slept for a very long time. When she opened her eyes, she found herself standing in a very long hallway.

The hallway was quiet and the lights were dim. The floor was covered with a thick carpet, and it felt like she was walking on cotton.

What was this place?

Why am I here?

Am I dead?

Filled with curiosity, she took a few steps forward and saw the door to a room open. A voice came from inside.

– Didn’t I tell you that this dress is made of silk and can only be washed by hand? look what you did to him.

– I’m sorry, Madam. I am really sorry.

– What’s the point of apologizing? do you know how much this dress costs? You can’t even afford it on one month’s salary!

– Madam, I really didn’t do it on purpose. Please give me another chance. I promise there won’t be a next time.

She walked to the door and stuck half her head out to look around the room. She saw a woman wearing a floral backless dress and a beige cardigan. She had delicate features and her soft eyes were filled with anger and impatience.

– Mylene.

She gasped. She didn’t expect it to be Mylene.

Could this be… the former residence of the Flores family?

Roxane looked back and looked around. The more she looked at him, the more familiar he seemed.

Hey, that’s not true!

Why was Mylene so young?

Roxane scratched her head in confusion. Sacrebleu, but what is happening?

Mylene’s face was filled with frustration and anger. When she looked at the servant, her eyes became more and more disdainful.

– Forget it, forget it. I will deduct one month from your salary as compensation. It will remind you too.

The servant’s body stiffened and she implored bitterly:

“Madam, please don’t do it. I know I was wrong… I really know I was wrong. Please don’t deduct my salary! I really won’t do it anymore.

– If we compensate you at the original price, you will lose three months of your salary.

Mylene raised her head to look at her and said impatiently:

– I will only deduct one month from your salary now. It’s a small punishment, but a big one. What else are you not satisfied with?

– Madam, my child is sick and in the hospital. I need money now. I can’t live without a salary.

The servant begged her with tears in her eyes.

Mylene was impassive.

– What does your child’s illness and hospitalization have to do with me? Who knows if you’re just trying to avoid responsibility by lying to me?

– I won’t take…

Before she could finish her sentence, Mylene interrupted her,

– That’s enough. I still have to go out. If you are not convinced, you can resign.
