AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Although Roxane’s voice was hoarse, it was soft and tickled Sebastien’s heart. He looked ahead and entered the dining room as if he didn’t hear her and carefully placed her on the chair.

The assistant quickly served the food and left, leaving the duo alone in the dining room.

They ate quietly, and only the occasional sounds of cutlery hitting their plates could be heard.

After dinner, Roxane was afraid that Sebastien would carry her again, so she quickly got up and said:

– I go back to my room to take a shower.

The hotel’s heating system was pretty bad and she hadn’t had a proper shower in the last two days. Now that she had eaten, all she wanted to do was take a comfortable shower.

Sebastien said weakly:

– Wait a while for your food to digest before showering. Also don’t forget to wash your hair. You still haven’t recovered from your cold.

She nodded obediently.

– I understand.

After saying this, she quickly went upstairs.

Sebastian listened to her light footsteps with a smile on his face. When she wasn’t there, the house was too quiet. Now that he heard the muffled sounds of her footsteps, he felt like the house was much brighter.

– She really can’t stay away from home for too long…

…

Roxane waited about ten minutes before bringing her pajamas into the bathroom. Although she really wanted to wash her hair, she gave up on the idea when she remembered Sebastian’s words. Since his words were for her own good, she might as well listen to him.

She had just gotten dressed and got under the covers when she heard the knock.

Sebastian opened the door and entered the room with his medicine and a cup of water. He said :

-Take the medicine and rest early.

She took the medicine without complaint and swallowed a few pills at the same time.

He helped her lay down and put her blanket away for her before turning off the lights in the room, leaving only a faint yellow light. Then he said softly:

– Rest early and sleep well.

Roxane yawned. She looked at him with slightly moist eyes and said:

-You should also rest early. You still have to go to work tomorrow.

He nodded slightly, but still sat on the side of his bed. When he saw her looking at him with a questioning expression, he said:

– I’ll leave after you fall asleep…

If it was anyone else, she wouldn’t have agreed to such a thing. It would be very embarrassing after all. However, the other party was Sebastian so she didn’t feel uncomfortable. Instead, she felt a little soft in her heart as she nodded and said:

– All right …

Sebastian’s heart softened even more when he heard her sweet voice. The corners of his lips curled into a smile as he asked:

-Are your hands cold? Do you want me to help you warm them up?

Without waiting for Roxane’s response, he grabbed her hands tightly, covering them.

She looked down. She couldn’t help but smile.

Sebastian also couldn’t help the smile that appeared on his face. He asked in a low voice:

– Can you tell me what happened that night at the hotel?

Although he heard a little from Logan, he would still prefer to hear it from her. For example, he really wanted to know how she knew that someone had deliberately locked her and Watson Dixon in her room. He was also curious as to how she knew Mina and Nicole would appear the next day. She knew it was a trap and calmly played along so that the bad guys would fall into the trap instead.

Roxane’s thick eyelashes fluttered slightly. She looked down and said softly:

– The bedroom door was fine. There was no reason for it to get stuck. Plus, how could it be so coincidental that not only did our phones not work, but the WiFi didn’t work as well? I could tell something was wrong, so I told Professor Watson to climb out the window. Then, she paused a little before saying with a touch of pride:

– I’ve read quite a few novels, so I’m still somewhat aware of projects like this!

In fact, the truth was that she had seen Mina and Nicole and the series of events that would happen in her dreams. However, she couldn’t tell Sebastian. Otherwise, he would definitely think she was crazy.

Sebastian asked again:

-Did you also tell Watson not to go back to his room and to go buy the medicine?

Roxane replied:

– Mm. I was afraid things would go wrong. It would be safer if he stayed away from the hotel longer. However, I really didn’t expect the car to break down.

Sebastien smiles knowingly.

– I’m afraid the car didn’t really break down.

Roxane looked at him, perplexed.

– Eh? What do you mean?

He patiently explained:

– If you could tell something was wrong, Watson could certainly tell something was wrong too…

Realization dawned on Roxane.

– Are you saying that Professor Watson deliberately stayed out all night and didn’t come back until the morning?

Then, after a brief pause, she asked:

– But why ? He could have just called his fiancee and explained everything to her.

– Why didn’t he answer his fiancee’s call and make things so complicated?

Sebastien looked down as he speculated out loud:

– Maybe he wanted to use this as an opportunity to do something…

– What do you mean?”

She became even more perplexed.

Sebastien did not answer him. Instead, he looked at her and said:

– It’s nothing. Go to sleep.

She pursed her lips. His curiosity had been piqued. Alas, it was clear that he would not answer her question. Therefore, she asked:

-Why didn’t you ask Mina why she did such a thing?

He asked in return:

-Why didn’t you ask him? Whatever her reason, it’s no excuse for what she did to you…

She wanted to speak again, but Sebastien beat her to it and said:

– All right. Go to sleep. You don’t have to worry about anything. Leave it to me.

Although she slept all day, the cold medicine put her to sleep. She yawned, bringing tears to her eyes. Then she softly said:

– Mmm.

She thought it best not to discuss this matter any further. After all, that would lead to more questions she couldn’t answer.

After she fell asleep, Sebastian gently brushed a few strands of her black hair from her face. His dark eyes were warm as he stared at her unblinkingly like a devout believer looking to God. He was smart enough to see that she was hiding something, but since she didn’t want to talk about it, he wouldn’t force her. He respected her desire to keep everything secret, and he would help her protect the secret.

He held her hand carefully as he lowered his head and kissed her gently.

He was afraid that Roxane had a fever so he didn’t rest all night. Every once in a while, he would go into her room and gently check her temperature.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

She slept very well because of the medication, so she wasn’t aware of it.

It was only at daybreak that Sebastien managed to rest.

…

When Roxane woke up, she felt that her body was no longer as heavy as before. However, her throat was still a little sore and she was still coughing.

Seeing this, Sebastien called the doctor back to give him a transfusion.

When the doctor came, Roxane hid her hands and refused to take them out no matter what. She said firmly:

– I feel much better so there is no need for a transfusion. I…

She started coughing again before she could finish her words.

– You said you felt a lot better, but you’re still coughing… said Sebastien with a frown. Then he turned to the doctor and said solemnly:

– Give him the transfusion.

When Roxane saw the needle approaching, she said anxiously with a pitiful expression on her face:

– Sebastien… Grand President Flores, Benefactor Flores, can I please not have another transfusion?
