AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

– I want to take care of you.

The voice belonged to Raoul. His voice was soft as usual.

Christine choked slightly as she said:

“But I don’t want you to take care of me. I don’t want you to pity me or sympathize with me. Please leave.

Christine’s tone was pleading and humble.

Roxane didn’t want to listen to their conversation, but she really couldn’t hold back her curiosity as she glanced at the slightly ajar door.

Raoul’s back was facing the door of the room and Christine’s figure was partially hidden by him. However, she could vaguely see that he was wiping Christine’s tears.

Raoul says:

– Christine, I want to take care of you. Not just for now, but also for the future. After a brief pause, he asked softly:

-Can you give me a chance?

Roxane’s jaw dropped and she quickly covered her mouth to hold back her exclamation of surprise. ‘Is he confessing to Christine?’

Christine was also surprised. She raised her head, revealing a pale, tear-stained face. Her eyes were filled with shock and she suspected she had heard him wrong. When she came to her senses, she said through her tears:

– Are you crazy? I’m disabled. I won’t be able to get up again. If you pity me…

Before she finished speaking, Raoul suddenly lowered his head and pressed his lips to hers, tasting the bitterness of her tears.

Christine’s voice stopped abruptly as her watery, almond-shaped eyes widened in shock.

Raoul did not deepen the kiss. He walked away and gently wiped away her tears again, saying:

– Christine, in this world, there is no one who would sacrifice love just because of pity. It’s okay if you can’t get up. I will take care of you. From now on, I will be your legs.

‘From now on, I will be your legs…’

No one could resist these words, especially not Christine who loved Raoul so much. She threw herself into his arms and said in tears:

– Raoul, I’m sorry. I know I’m very selfish, but I can’t help it… I really love you!

“I love you so much that even though I know you only stay with me out of guilt and pity, I still can’t refuse you.”

Raoul gently stroked her long hair with his warm hand, saying softly:

– I know …

…

Roxane turned around and leaned against the wall. She silently looked at Logan, blinking.

Logan: ?

She asked in a muffled voice:

– Don’t you feel touched?

‘A pair of lovers are finally together…’

Logan replied dryly:

– Oh …

‘Who cares if I get hit or not? I only know that Monsieur asked me to keep an eye on you and follow you. If you don’t move, I don’t dare take a step.

-…

‘Forget. Logan has probably been with Mr. Seb for too long, so he is not interested in other people’s affairs…’

She took out her phone and sent a message to Jessica. She couldn’t help but share what she saw. After all, the scene was very similar to what she had read in novels.

Jessica was also very shocked. However, his shock was quickly replaced by sadness. Now she was the only one who was single. The joys and sorrows of humans were not distributed equally. She really wanted to cry.

Roxane comforted Jessica by telling her that she would definitely find a handsome, young boyfriend soon.

At this time, Raoul, who had finished comforting Christine, came out. He was surprised when he saw Roxane. He reacted quickly and called politely:

– Mrs. Flores.

Roxane waved her hand.

– You don’t have to call me Madame Flores. We are no longer in the business now.

Raoul thought about it for a moment before shyly saying:

– … Sister in law?

-…

The corners of Roxane’s lips twitched as she said to herself:

-Senior Grant, I really didn’t expect that from you!

– Senior, you can just call me Roxane.

It was really weird to be called “sister-in-law” by Raoul.

He smiled weakly.

– All right. I’m going out to buy something. You can come in and accompany him.

He intentionally said this so that Christine and Roxane could talk. It would be easier for the two young women to talk if he wasn’t there.

Roxane nodded and entered the room.

Logan followed her. He placed the basket of fruit on the table and withdrew to stand by the door.

Christine had just finished crying so her eyes were still wet and red. Her voice was also slightly hoarse as she said:This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

– Roxane, you are here.

She walked over to the bedside and sat down.

– You feel better ?

Christine sniffed and nodded.

– I feel better. You don’t have to worry about me.

– It’s not surprising. With love, you will naturally feel better.

Raoul had taken care of her in recent days, and the whole hospital knew about it. Everyone was saying how handsome, sweet and loving her boyfriend was. If it were any other man, maybe he would have run away as soon as he found out she was crippled.

– B-sister-in-law…

She stuttered, blushing. His almond-shaped eyes were filled with shyness.

Roxane didn’t tease him anymore. She got up and took the flowers from the fruit basket and placed them in a vase.

Christine turned to look at Roxane and asked:

– How is your arm?

– Much better. It’s just a little itchy, and I really want to scratch it, Roxane said with a pout,

– I understand that Mr. Seb doesn’t want me to scratch it, but he actually told everyone to keep an eye on me 24 hours a day. I feel like a criminal.

Christine, who was attacked by the love of Roxane and Sebastien, said:

– Alright Alright. I know brother loves you so stop showing off! I’ve had enough of your affectionate displays!

Roxane tilted her head and looked at Christine cunningly, saying:

– In the future, you can do it too…

She looked shy when she thought of Raoul. She quickly said:

– We are very discreet…

After arranging the flowers, Roxane sat down to chat with Christine.

She hesitated briefly before apologizing earnestly.

-Sister-in-law, I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have said those words to you that day. Also, thank you for saving my life.

The words she said to Roxane that day were harsh, but she didn’t take her words to heart and even saved her. She owed him an apology and thanks.

– It’s good. I know you were like that because you were anxious and afraid that Raoul was going abroad, Roxane said magnanimously,

-You need to cheer yourself up and recover now. Medical science is so advanced now, I believe you will definitely get back on your feet.

Christine felt her tears threatening to fall again when she met Roxane’s clear eyes. She spread her arms and said:

– Sister-in-law, you are really so kind! Brother must have been blessed by his ancestors for eight lifetimes to be able to marry you!

Roxane was amused as she leaned in to kiss Christine.

– Okay, don’t cry. Otherwise, when Raoul comes back, he will think that I am harassing you.

“Sister-in-law…” Christine cried timidly.

The two young women were smiling, immersed in the warmth when there was a knock on the door.

– Raoul is back, declared Roxane, quickly letting go of Christine.

She glanced at Roxane before saying:

– Come in.

To everyone’s surprise, when the door opened, Deborah entered with a basket of fruit in one hand and Mathis in the other hand. No one expected her to show up.

Even though she wore makeup, it couldn’t cover her pale face. She said softly:

-I heard you were injured, so I came to visit you. I hope I haven’t disturbed your rest.
