The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 136

When Yasmine Taylor woke up, she saw dazzling white things. White lights; white walls; white quilts; and doctors in white coats before her.

The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant and she hated it, as well as the smell of sadness that she could do nothing about.

"Miss, are you all right? Don't think too much. Medicine has advanced now, and 80% of infertility cases can hopefully be cured."

"You need to calm down first, then go to the hospital tomorrow to do a more detailed examination."

"If you are dissatisfied with the test results in this country, you can go abroad for another inspection. In short, take care of yourself first."

Yasmine blinked her hollow eyes and listened to the doctor's empty words. Her soul seemed to no longer be in her body, and her whole body was stiff.

"Do you want me to help you inform your family?"

The last question made her eyelashes tremble slightly. She propped herself into a sitting position, got out of bed, and drifted out of the ward like a ghost.

"Miss, are you okay being alone now?"

A doctor's worried voice rang from behind her, but she couldn't hear anything.

By the time she got out of the hospital, it was already late at night. The sky was dark, just like her mood at the moment. What was the most painful thing in the world? It was when your greatest hope became your greatest grief, and all she had with her then was the painful ending. She had looked forward to it for so long, but in the end, she had nothing. She finally understood that she should not

be afraid of losing something, because the more she was afraid of losing something, the more likely she would lose that something.

She walked on the street in a daze and without a destination. Her mobile phone in her pocket rang incessantly, but she ignored it and immersed herself in her own world. She didn't know how much tears had flowed out and how many times her heart had broken.

Standing on the empty beach, she saw Sebastian Simons's number flashing on the screen of her phone. She burst into tears and threw the phone into the bottomless sea. Then, although her world was finally quiet, it would be dim from then on.

With a soft thud, she fell onto the sand of the beach. Suddenly, she burst into tears and covered her face. The sad cry startled the sweet hugging couple not far away. The couples who were strolling under the moonlight approached her one after another, but they just stared at her and did not comfort her. It was not because these people were cold- blooded, but because they understood that sometimes, one cried not only because of heartache but also to vent his or her feelings. When people felt the most pain, they always wished for a place where they could let themselves cry freely and not be disturbed by anyone. Yasmine's heart was broken as her tears fell. Every time she thought that happiness was waving at her, something would undermine her happiness. Now, it even destroyed the belief in her heart. How strong did a person's heart need to be to resist the cruelty of fate? She was just an ordinary woman in the face of true love. She did not have much fortitude and she was not strong enough to resist the cruel reality.

She knew better than anyone else what it meant to have a family with no children. It was precisely this that made her desperate. So, so desperate.

The Simons family was in an uproar. It was already past dinner time, but Yasmine had not come back yet, and there was no signal on her phone. They asked her colleagues at the school, and were

told that she had been out since the afternoon. Sebastian finally couldn't sit still anymore. He picked up his car key, hurried out of the house, and went outside to look for her.

Two hours later, he returned home and urgently asked his parents, "Is she back?"

Madam Simons shook her head and said, "No, I have already asked the three drivers to go out and look for her, but there is still no news about her. Where on earth is that child? Why didn't she tell us anything? This is too much."

Learning that Yasmine was not back yet, Sebastian immediately turned around and drove out of the Mansion House again.

As soon as her son left, Madam Simons immediately thought of a serious question. Last night, Yasmine had told her that she would collect the examination results today. Could it be that...

She had an inexplicable and ominous premonition in her heart, but she immediately shook her head and denied it. "No, it can't be."

Yasmine was not the kind of child who would run away from reality, so she must have found herself in the middle of a situation. Madam Simons comforted herself and refused to be negative.

Another two hours passed and it was already 12 o'clock midnight. Usually, the lights in the Mansion House would have been out by now, but tonight, the lights were all still on and nobody was sleeping.

At first, there were only four or five people out there looking for her, but by 11 o'clock, there were more than 20 people out there, and there was still no news about Yasmine. She seemed to have suddenly evaporated from the world.

It was Sebastian who suffered the most. He drove all night around B City and contacted his friends in the police department to help him out. However, by dawn, Yasmine was still nowhere to be found.

At seven o'clock, he returned home and discussed the situation with his parents. The whole family looked terrible because they were too worried about Yasmine's safety.

Sebastian thought of the other day when Yasmine had suddenly disappeared. When she was found, she had been whipped so badly that her body was full of scars. He was terrified that she had been kidnapped again by someone with evil intentions and had suffered painful torture.

"Brother, you go to sleep first. Leave Yasmine to mom and dad."

Tiffany Simons' heart ached when she saw her brother's eyes sink, but Sebastian did not agree. "I'm fine. Yasmine is nowhere to be seen, so how can I sleep?"

"We can't find her in a rush. We need more time. If we still can't find her by morning, all the police in B City will be dispatched. You better stay at home and rest. Otherwise, you will be exhausted by the time you find her."

Titus seemed to be comforting him, but it also sounded like an order.

Sebastian still did not agree. He stood up and said, "If I can find her sooner, then I'm willing to be exhausted."

He stubbornly walked out of the living room again and ran into somebody. When he fixed his eyes on the person, he suddenly shouted in surprise, "Yasmine?"

As soon as the whole family heard the word "Yasmine", they all looked towards the door. All of a sudden, their worried hearts calmed down. They rushed to Yasmine and asked her, "Where have you been, little kid? You really got us anxious and worried."

"Yeah, Yasmine, are you playing hide-and-seek with us? Do you know how worried we were?"

"Why couldn't we get through your phone? You could at least call us. We nearly dug B City up looking for you."

"Yasmine, where did you go last night? I almost died from anxiety. Did you know that?" When faced with concerned eyes and endless questioning, Yasmine's wound tore open again, but she could only pretend that nothing had happened. "I'm sorry to worry you all about me. I'm really sorry. I went to T City to see my aunt yesterday. Because it was urgent, I didn't have time to inform you..."

"What about your cell phone? We couldn't get through at all."

"I lost my phone."

Sebastian took a deep breath and rubbed his forehead. He wanted to get angry, but when he saw Yasmine's haggard face, he restrained himself and said, "It's okay. It's good that you came back." Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

The dark clouds finally dispersed. Sebastian pulled Yasmine upstairs, closed the door, and hugged her tightly. He said worriedly, "Do you know how much I was worried over the last ten hours? I was so afraid that you would disappear from my life. I hope that this kind of thing will be the first and also the last time, otherwise, I will definitely break down."

Yasmine leaned against Sebastian's warm chest and felt his beating heart. Tears slipped down quietly. He was not the only person sad for the past ten hours. For her, it was also unbearable suffering.

"Well, I promise you that I won't do it again."

She sobbed and dug her nails into her flesh, in order not to cry out of control. She was not ready to tell Sebastian about this yet.

Sebastian lifted her face and kissed her forehead, distressed. "What happened to your aunt? Why do you look so tired after only a night?"

"She's in poor health." "Should I take her to B City? I can get the best doctors to treat her."

"There's no need for that. She's already stable in T City."

Yasmine saw the dark circles around Sebastian's eyes, and she reached out her trembling fingers to touch them. "Did you not sleep last night?"

"Well, I couldn't find you and I almost went crazy. How was I supposed to sleep?"

"I'm sorry for always making you worry about me like this."

"Silly, what did you make me worry about? And I should always be the one to say this. It's me who keeps making you sad."

Yasmine's voice choked again. "What usually makes me sad is not you, Sebastian, but this ruthless fate."

The first part of the sentence was meant for him, but the latter was meant for herself.

"Well, we don't have to be sad anymore. It's more important that you are back safely. Go downstairs and eat something, then come upstairs and have a good sleep."

"Okay."

After eating breakfast with Yasmine, Sebastian went straight to the company without any rest.

Not long after he left, someone knocked on the bedroom door. Yasmine wiped the tears from her eyes, stood up, and opened the door. It was her mother-in-law standing outside the door. She said softly, "Mom." Madam Simons took her hand and sat down on the sofa. Then, she asked earnestly, "Yasmine, tell me frankly, are you... are the results of the examination not good?"

Yasmine burst into tears. When faced with Madam Simons, perhaps because they were both women, she couldn't pretend to be strong anymore.

Seeing her tears, Madam Simons understood. She asked with difficulty, "What was the results?"

"The result of the preliminary diagnosis is... primary infertility."

Primary infertility. Madam Simons' head exploded. Like Yasmine, she could not accept this at all.

"Mom, I'm sorry for disappointing you."
