The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 144

Abigail went silent. Sebastian sneered and said, "Let's eat."

"Brother Sebastian, why don't you divorce Yasmine? As long as you divorce her, even if you don't marry me, I won't hand over the evidence that incriminates your parents."

Sebastian took a sip of wine and stood up, saying, "I'm sorry. You can get married at any time, but not divorce. If you want to hand over the evidence then just go ahead."

He went to the counter to pay, and then resolutely left Abigail's sight. Watching him leave without looking back, Abigail could not help but cry.

When he got home, it was already past ten o'clock. He's not returned home so late in a long time. Yasmine sat on the sofa and waited for him. When she saw him come back, she smiled and said, "My hair almost turned white after waiting for you so long."

Sebastian sat down beside her and pulled her into his arms. In a hoarse voice, he said, "I'm sorry. I had something to do tonight."

"Let me guess."

Yasmine broke free from his arms and pretended to think. "You went to see Abigail, didn't you?"

Sebastian was slightly surprised. "How did you know?" "Let me guess again."

Yasmine continued to snap her fingers. "You went to ask her about your parents' evidence, but Abigail threatened you, asking you to divorce me. As long as you divorce me, she won't disclose the evidence."

Sebastian's eyes were wide open, and he wondered if Yasmine was also in that restaurant at that time, or if she had silently put a listening device on his body.

"How did you know that?"

Yasmine smiled bitterly and said, "Because someone threatened me in the same way last night. As long as I divorce you, the evidence incriminating your parents will be destroyed immediately "

"Who?"

"Claudine Tucker."

She sighed and said, "It seems like quite a few people want to separate you and I. What should we do?"

A fierce fire spurted out of Sebastian's eyes. He comforted Yasmine and said, "Don't care about them. Claudine wants to take down my family by herself. She thinks too highly of herself."

"Should I tell your parents about this?"

"Not at first. I will think of a way to solve this."

"But what if Claudine hands the evidence to the police?"

Sebastian snorted confidently and said, "Don't worry, she won't do it for the time being."

"How do you know that?" "This is the only leverage she has at present. Why would she hand it over so easily?"

Yasmine nodded and agreed with his opinion. After they snuggled up for a while, she suddenly said, "By the way, mom wants to take me on a trip for a few days next week..."

After saying that, she waited anxiously for Sebastian to get angry. In fact, there was no holiday. She had an appointment to get to.

Sebastian's body stiffened. He nodded meaningfully and said, "Well, just go."

"Aren't you against it?"

Yasmine was shocked. Last time she went on a trip, he was so angry, so why did he agree so readily this time? It was not his style at all.

"Why should I object? It's a good thing to go on a trip. You've been in a bad mood recently, so you should go and relax."

After hearing what he said, she felt at ease.

She hugged his neck and said with relief, "Thank you, my lover."

No one objected to the second trip except for Tiffany. Thus, Yasmine and her mother-in-law flew to the United States again.

This time, she was more nervous than the first time. Throughout the month, she'd taken the medicine punctually without knowing if it was working on her uterus or not. This trip would reveal if what lied ahead was hope, or despair.

After a series of routine tests, Yasmine and Madam Simons sat nervously in front of Adiana. "How was it? Did the medicine work?"

Adiana was silent for a few seconds, then nodded with a smile and said, "Well, not bad, the effect is quite visible."

Hearing what Adiana said, Yasmine and Madam Simons immediately relaxed. "Yasmine, did you hear that? Adiana said it's effective. It's effective!"

Madam Simons looked at Yasmine excitedly. Yasmine held her hands and nodded. "Yes, mom. I heard it. I heard it."

The two of them hugged each other happily and they did not notice a trace of regret in Adiana's eyes.

"I'll continue to give you medicine so as to accelerate the development of the uterus. This is a three- month treatment, and I have to add a new medicine to your prescription list. Remember, the new medicine must be taken one hour later than the other medicines."

"Yes, I got it."

Yasmine nodded, showing her gratitude to Adiana who had given her hope.

After returning to the hotel in the evening and having dinner, Yasmine went into the bathroom to take a bath. Madam Simons's cell phone suddenly rang. She was on the phone for a few minutes, then she hung up and went to the bathroom door. She knocked on the door and said, "Yasmine, I'm going out for awhile. I'll be back soon."

"Mom, where are you going alone?"

"There's an old friend who wants to meet me for a cup of coffee. I'll be back soon."

"Okay, be careful."

"Well, I know. You'd better stay in the hotel and not run around."

After saying that, Madam Simons left the room and arrived at a cafe named CoCo. She saw Adiana waving at her from a distance. Then, she hurried over and asked nervously as soon as she sat down, "What happened, Adiana? Why did you want to meet me at this time without Yasmine's knowledge?"

Adiana took a deep look at Madam Simons and said with a sigh, "Truth is, your daughter-in-law's condition is not very good."

"Not very good?" Madam Simons' face turned pale. "What does this mean?"

"Honestly, I didn't see any significant growth in her uterus. I just didn't want to pressure her, so I didn't say anything in front of her. The mentalities of infertile women are very important. If she thinks that there is no hope, then she really would be infertile."

Tears suddenly flowed out of Madam Simons' eyes. "Adiana, does this mean that my daughter-in- law is definitely unable to give birth?"

"I added another type of medicine for her. If it works, then there is still hope. But if it doesn't work, then it's hard to say."

"What are the chances like?"

Adiana couldn't bear to answer. "Thirty percent."

"Only thirty percent?" Madam Simons could no longer hold back her tears and she sobbed. "What should I do? What should I do? My son and his wife have such a good relationship. What if they can't bear a child? What kind of evil have I done that God has to punish me like this?"

Adiana was also very sad and as she comforted her old friend. "Mila, don't cry. Thirty percent chance is better than no chance at all. The reason why I asked you out is because I don't want Yasmine to know about this. Now, her emotional stability is crucial to the improvement of the situation. You must not show even a little sadness in front of her. She has a good chance of recovery if she's in a good mood. On the contrary, being a bad mood would reduce her chance of recovery to zero."

"Adiana, tell me the truth. Yasmine is basically unable to give birth, right?"

"Didn't I say that there is a thirty percent chance?"

"Don't comfort me anymore. I'm well aware of the probability thirty percent entails."

Tears streamed down Madam Simons' cheeks. She really liked Yasmine very much, but she was also aware that the Simons family could not just end up without an heir.

After sitting in the cafe for a long time, Madam Simons' tears had almost dried up. It was not until Yasmine called her that she had to say goodbye to Adiana and returned to the hotel where they were staying.

After she practiced smiling for a long time in front of the hotel door, she went up to the seventh floor with a sad and heavy heart. When Yasmine saw her come back, she immediately went forward and asked, "Mom, didn't you say that you will be back soon? Look at the time now. I was really worried about you."

Madam Simons smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry. We haven't seen each other for a really long time. We talked so much that I felt dizzy."

"Did you cry? Why are your eyes so red?"

Madam Simons rubbed her eyes and tears oozed out again. However, she kept laughing as she wiped her tears. "Yeah, it's so embarrassing. I haven't seen my old friend for more than 20 years. When I met her, I cried like a baby."

Yasmine patted her shoulder suspiciously. "What kind of friend is this? How can you have such deep feelings for each other?"

"My roommate who used to study in Hong Kong with me."

Yasmine chuckled and said, "That's a deep relationship." She thought of herself and Lily. When they were in college, they had sleepovers often. If she and Lily had to separate for twenty years, then she would cry when they met too.

This time, they stayed in the U.S. for only four days before returning home. Sitting on the plane, Madam Simons looked at Yasmine's relaxed face and couldn't help but cry again. Fortunately, there was a newspaper next to her that could block her face, so that Yasmine couldn't see her sad face.

It was Sebastian who picked them up at the airport again. But this time, he learned from his lesson and bought two bouquets of flowers for both his wife and mother.

After taking the flowers from her son's hands, Madam Simons was in a slightly better mood.

After returning home and having dinner, Yasmine went upstairs to sort out her luggage. Sebastian came in and squatted in front of her and asked, "Did you bring me a gift?"

"Yes." Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

She was in a good mood.

"Oh, what gift is it?"

"Close your eyes."

Sebastian closed his eyes and cooperated with her. Yasmine looked at him with a smile and kissed him heavily on the cheek. Sebastian suddenly opened his eyes and he was surprised by her kiss. "Is that the gift?"

"Yeah? You don't like it?"

"I like it. I like it very much."

Sebastian gave a big kiss on her forehead and teased, "I don't want to take advantage of you, so here's my gift to you."

Hehe. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, feeling happy and content at each other's kiss.

"Hey, isn't this mom's anti-inflammatory drug? Why is it in my suitcase? I'll give it to her."

Yasmine stood up and went out of the bedroom with Madam Simons' blood pressure medicine. She went straight to her parents-in-law's room. Just as she was about to knock on the door, she suddenly heard a painful cry coming from inside.

"What's the result? Say something. Don't just cry, okay?"

Titus Simons asked his wife anxiously. He was so anxious that he almost died of anxiety.

"She can't give birth. Adinaa said that there's still a thirty percent chance of her conceiving, but I know that it's just to comfort me. Basically, it's confirmed that she can't give birth."

"What did you say? No... she can't have a baby?"

Titus's legs were so weak that he almost fell to the ground. He held the edge of the bed with both hands and said, "How could this be? How could it be possible that she can't give birth?"

Not only was he shocked, but so was Yasmine who was standing outside the door. After hearing her mother- in- law say that she could not bear any children, the medicine in her hand, along with her heart, fell to the ground at the same time. The difference was that the medicine was still whole, but her heart was broken.

"I don't know. Every time I've thought of this since yesterday, I feel awful. Adiana said that we can't let Yasmine know to avoid affecting her emotions. But this matter is heavy on my heart. It's so

overwhelming that I'm about to go crazy!"

Titus stared blankly for a few seconds and suddenly said, "If she can't get pregnant, Sebastian needs to have a child out of wedlock. Such a big family business must have an heir."

Mila was so shocked that her eyes were wide open. "How could you say that? Yasmine is still in treatment now, and it's not necessarily impossible for her to have children. Besides, her self-esteem is so strong. How is she supposed to accept Sebastian having a child out of wedlock?!"

"What I meant was to discuss this matter with her. We will only proceed if she agrees."

"What if she doesn't agree?"

Mila's words choked Titus. If she didn't agree, it would be really hard.

"And even if Yasmine agrees, will our son agree? He is not a promiscuous man."

"At that point, even if he doesn't want to, he has to face reality."
