AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

The hospital.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Deborah had been transferred from the emergency room to the ward. She was hooked up to all sorts of machines, but she hadn’t woken up yet.

The doctor said his condition had deteriorated and he didn’t have much time left. At most she was more than half a month old; at worst, he only had a few days left. He told them to prepare mentally.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely solemn. Nobody spoke. The beeps of medical equipment and Mathis’ occasional sniffles were the only sounds in the room.

Enzo glanced at the man leaning against the window.

Fernand wore a gray suit with a white shirt, and the watch on his wrist was clearly expensive. He looked very elegant.

No matter what angle he looked at Fernand, he couldn’t like him at all.

A few hours ago, the president of the Lambert group announced his retirement and transferred all his shares to Fernand. In other words, he was now responsible for the Lambert family and the Lambert Group. It didn’t take much thought for people to know that he had planned this for a long time.

After a moment, Enzo broke the silence. He said :

“You should all go back first. I will watch over her. Then he said to Mathis:

_ Little thing, you go back with them too.

– I do not want ! Mathis shouted while holding Deborah’s hand tightly,

– I want to be with my mother!

Enzo didn’t force him. Instead, he turned to Sebastien and Roxane and said:

– Go home. It won’t change anything even if you stay here.

Today was Roxane’s birthday. He didn’t want her to spend him in the hospital.

Sebastien held Roxane’s little hand firmly and said:

– Let’s go home first.

She looked at Deborah, who showed no signs of waking up, before saying:

– All right. We will go home first and come back tomorrow to see her…

Enzo nodded.

Sebastien held Roxane’s hand and left the room.

She suppressed her curiosity until they got into the car. She asked :

– What is going on ? He… How did he come back to life?

Sebastian frowned. He felt a chill in his heart when he said:

– Come back to life? He didn’t die in the first place. He fooled everyone, including me.

Roxane’s eyes were filled with confusion.

– But why?

She didn’t understand Fernand’s goal.

“It’s a long story,” said Sebastien, playing with his fingers. Seeing that she was interested, he explained it to her patiently.

– Old Master Lambert’s sons died prematurely, but he has a few grandsons. Fernand was the successor chosen by him. However, he was not very happy with Fernand because Fernand’s mother came from an ordinary family. While he was raising Fernand, he also kept an eye on his other grandchildren…

The decline of the Lambert family had a lot to do with internal conflicts within the family. Each of the parties found supporters and strove to rise to the top. When Fernand died, everyone thought their biggest competitor and obstacle was gone. Who knew that the dead would come back to life while they were busy fighting?

Fernand, who suddenly reappeared, easily took control of the company and became the latest winner of the Lambert family’s power struggle.

Fernand’s method and cunning completely convinced old master Lambert, who was not in good health. With this, he did not hesitate and ceded his power to Fernand. Besides, he had no choice. He couldn’t control Fernand, and the Lambert Group would eventually fall into his hands anyway.

Roxane was stunned. She stammered:

– It’s… It’s… Why is the power struggle in the Lambert family more like a competition for the throne?

It was comparable to the TV dramas she watched.

Sebastian patted him on the head and said:

-For people like us, it is indeed no different from competing for the throne.

Roxane pursed her lips and looked at Sebastien with a troubled expression, feeling distressed for him.

Fernand put in so much effort and even faked his death. He hid for so many years before finally reappearing to take over the company.

She couldn’t help but wonder what Sebastian went through in the past to get to his position today.

He knew what she was thinking. He said:

– My father only has me, so the fight wasn’t that intense. There were only a few people in the side branches of the family who didn’t know their limits.

Sometimes these people used underhanded methods to deal with him, such as the car accident, which Roxane solved.

Roxane’s mood was very complicated. She thought for a moment and asked hesitantly:

-So, should I give birth to fewer children?

“What if I give birth to two sons, and they fight to the death for the family property? That would be too dramatic!”

Sebastien was stunned. Then he laughed.

– Don’t worry. The thing you’re worried about won’t happen…

– Hmm? She tilted her head and looked at him.

– It’s not easy for a woman to give birth. Women risk their lives when giving birth. I can’t stand you giving birth just once.

Sebastien didn’t like children, to begin with. He didn’t mind leaving a legacy, but the future he envisioned with Roxane was also based on the premise that Roxane wanted to have a child. Everything depended on her; he didn’t care if he had a child or not.

After listening to these words, the disappointment that Roxane felt earlier completely disappeared. She squeezed his arm and said flirtatiously:

– Seb, you are so kind!

Sebastian patted his head and said nothing.

She turned around and looked out the window. She asked, surprised and confused:

“It’s not the way back, is it?

He pinched his nose slightly and said:

– It’s your birthday today. Do you really think I forgot it?

Roxane’s eyes lit up.

– You… Are you going to celebrate my birthday?

He said nothing and only tightened his grip around her hand.

Roxane was immediately filled with anticipation.
