AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Sebastian’s dark eyes widened slightly from her confession. Then, a smile appeared on his face as he said:

– As you would expect from a painter. You are so creative even with your words…

“You have no right to make fun of me,” said Roxane with a pout.

“Okay, okay,” said Sebastien passionately. He lowered his head to kiss her on the cheek before asking:

– Are you tired ? Why don’t you lie down and get some rest?

Roxane lay down with Sebastien’s help before carefully pulling the blanket for her. Then, she asked with concern:

– Oh that’s right. How is Christine? I think she should have avoided hurting her vital points, right? She’s not in danger of death, is she?

Sebastian’s eyes darkened. He didn’t want her to worry or feel guilty so he said:

– Mmm, she’s fine. You should rest and recover first. I’ll take you to see her when you’re better.

She nodded obediently. She looked at him with a smile on her face.

In Sebastien’s eyes, her smile was extremely dazzling. Even the stars of the night sky could not compare to her. He stroked her face again, unable to move away as he asked:

-Why are you smiling?

– Mr. Seb, I am very happy. Not only can I protect you, but I can also protect your family, said Roxane with a dazzling smile, I feel necessary and useful. I feel the value of my existence. I feel connected to this world, and you are my connection to this world.

Due to her childhood experience, for a very long time, she felt that her parents and brother didn’t love her. Not everyone liked him. She felt like her existence in the world had no meaning. However, it was different now. She could feel the love of her family and she could also protect the people she loved. She felt that she had found the meaning of life and the value of living in this world.

Sebastian’s heart sank when he heard her words; his chest hurt.

– Idiot, your existence has always had meaning. For me, I can live without the sun in the sky, but I can’t live without you.

“After all, you are my little sun…”

Roxane felt a softness in her heart. She wanted to hug him but remembered that his arm was injured. She pouted and shouted:

– Mr. Seb…

He wanted to kiss her when he saw her pouting. She was so cute that his heart melted again. He lowered his head and kissed her passionately.

After a short while, she looked at him shyly. Then she expressed the feelings in her heart.

– Mr. Seb, I love you…

‘I love you so much…’

Sebastien refrained from kissing her again, saying in a low, hoarse voice:

– Me too …

‘I love you, not because you love me… Whether you love me or not, I still love you, only you… My love for you has no limits. Roxane, I love you.’

Roxane injured her right arm. However, aside from the inconveniences of daily life, it didn’t affect him much. She was hospitalized only briefly before being discharged.

The driver’s seat was hit the hardest. Although Christine’s life was saved, she was seriously injured and her legs were paralyzed. Her face was mottled with bruises, her lips were cracked, and her eyes were lifeless like a doll’s. It was as if she had lost her soul. Since regaining consciousness, she had not spoken.

When Roxane saw the state Christine was in, her eyes couldn’t help but turn red with sadness.

Sebastian put his arm around her shoulders and said in a comforting, low voice:

– It’s not your fault. You did well…

After all, if it hadn’t been for Roxane, Christine would currently be in a crematorium, not the hospital.

– If only I could stop him… said Roxane, blaming herself for not being able to stop Christine.

Sebastien stroked her head and said:

– Even if you can stop it this time, what if there is a next time? How many times can you stop it? No one can control destiny…

These words were intended for Roxane and even more for Christine.

She nodded reluctantly. Then, she walked to the bedside and said softly:

– Christine, don’t be sad. Everything will be alright.

Christine’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. When she met Roxane’s eyes, tears flowed down her cheeks. Although no one told her about her condition, she could feel it herself. Perhaps it was more accurate to say that she was aware of his condition because of what she could not feel; she couldn’t feel her legs.

Roxane awkwardly wiped the tears from Christine’s face with her left hand.

– Don’t cry, don’t cry. Mr. Seb will certainly find the best doctor to treat you! Isn’t that right, Mr. Seb? She turned to look at the distant man pleadingly as if saying:

“Hurry up and say something!”

Sebastien was expressionless and his voice was cold as usual when he said:

– It’s good that she’s paralyzed. It saves me from having to find someone to watch you when I lock you in the house.

-…

“Mr. Seb, I really didn’t expect you to be such a person!”

Christine seemed agitated by Sebastien’s words. Her tears fell faster and she cried until she was out of breath. Her delicate face was red.

Roxane frantically wiped Christine’s tears. Her heart was about to break from all the tears. She said :

– Don’t cry anymore… You make me want to cry too.

‘Crying is contagious!’

Hearing this, Sebastien frowned. He said in an icy tone:

-If you continue to cry, I will send someone to break his legs.

To him, it didn’t matter that Christine cried until she went blind. However, he didn’t let Roxane cry.

Christine sniffed and quickly held back her tears with great difficulty. His lips were tightly pursed.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

-…

Roxane was stunned. She discreetly gave Sebastien a thumbs up and said to herself: “So this method works too…”
