The Seventh Miserable Bride novel Chapter 128

"Don't go..."

When Abigail Tanner saw that he was about to leave, she suddenly jumped off the bed and coughed violently. Sebastian Simons halted his steps and hurried back to hold her up. He picked up the glass of water which was on the bedside table and fed her. "Have some."

She did not stop coughing after drinking the water. Seeing that she had been coughing non- stop, Sebastian immediately called the doctor on duty.

After another round of examination, the doctor asked angrily, "Did you smoke in the ward?"

He nodded and admitted, "Yes."

"What nonsense. Don't you know that smoking is prohibited in the ward? This patient was already suffering from a respiratory infection, now that she has inhaled a large amount of cigarette smoke, her lungs are now infected too. It's very likely that it will develop into tuberculosis."

Sebastian felt very guilty and said, "Sorry, it's my mistake."

Abigail was pushed into the emergency room again. Sebastian ruffled his hair in frustration and he was even more annoyed now. However, at this moment, Yasmine called him again.

"I think I'm having a fever now. Can you come back?" Sebastian sighed heavily and said, "Yasmine, please don't mess around, okay? Do you have to be like this for no reason?"

Yasmine was stunned and asked blankly, "Do you think I'm being unreasonable?"

"Are you not? I'm just doing my duty as a friend to take care of an ill person, but you keep on calling me. You were fine when I left, and now you are saying that you are having a fever. Can't you find a better excuse?"

"Do you really think that it's an excuse? Do you think that I, Yasmine Taylor, am such a dishonest person?"

Yasmine's heart ached. She actually wasn't lying to him. She had been sitting at the balcony in the cold wind for several hours last night. In the beginning, she didn't feel anything wrong, but she started to feel unwell in the middle of the night. Originally, she'd wanted to wait until dawn, but if it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't bear the splitting headache any longer, she wouldn't have called Sebastian again.

"Abigail said that she had a fever, so I came here. Now you just want to compete with her to see who is the most important person in my heart, right?"

"Well, if you want to think that way then I can't stop you."

Yasmine didn't feel like saying anything anymore. She hung up the phone feebly and threw it on the ground.

She suffered from pain and anger, and finally, it was dawn. She struggled to get dressed and after thinking for a while, she called her sister-in-law. "Tiffany, are you up?"

"Not yet. Why did you call me so early, Yasmine?"

"I'm a little unwell, so I can't drive. I might need to trouble you to drive me to the hospital."

Upon hearing that she was not feeling well, Tiffany asked nervously, "How do you feel? Where is my brother?"

Yasmine would feel better if Tiffany didn't mention her brother. When she heard of his name, Yasmine was so angry that she felt a sudden pain in her chest.

"He had something to do, so he's not at home." "Okay, I'll go over now!"

"Okay, don't tell Mom though, I don't want her to worry for me."

"Got it."

After hanging up the phone, Tiffany rushed out of home in a hurry. In less than half an hour, she appeared before Yasmine.

"Yasmine, did you not sleep at all last night? Why are the dark circles around your eyes so obvious?"

Tiffany was distressed as she approached Yasmine to have a clear look at her face.

"Yes. I started having a slight fever in the middle of the night so I couldn't fall asleep."

Yasmine packed up her things into her bag and said, "Let's go. I still have classes that I have to attend in the afternoon." Tiffany drove the car to the hospital and accompanied Yasmine into the consultation room. Initially, Yasmine just wanted to get some prescriptions or a quick injection to ease her symptoms, but the doctor insisted on giving her an IV drip.

As she was lying on the bed in the infusion room, her throat was so painful that she couldn't even say a word at all, and her head was so dizzy that she couldn't tell left from right. The nurse asked while injecting the drip for her, "Have you eaten breakfast?"

"No."

She answered in a daze.

"Please go and get something for her to eat. It will be very uncomfortable for her if she receives the drip on an empty stomach."

Tiffany immediately said, "Okay, I'll go get some now."

She rushed out of the infusion room in a hurry. Not too long after, she saw a familiar figure. She rubbed her eyes in surprise. After confirming that it was not her illusion, she shouted, "Brother!"

Sebastian was holding onto the weak girl, Abigail, and was about to leave the hospital. However, when he unexpectedly saw his sister, he stopped his steps and asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"

"I should be asking you this question. Why are you here?"

She glanced at Abigail coldly, and suddenly there was an unknown anger rising in her heart. "Tiffany, long time no see."

Abigail smiled at her. This girl who had almost become her sister-in-law in the past, but now, she was like an enemy to her.

" Yes it really had been a long time. I'm just asking out of curiosity but didn't you run off with my cousin Ethan? How can you still have the audacity to come back here?"

Abigail's face immediately darkened upon hearing what Tiffany had said.

"Tiffany, mind your manners."

"What kind of manners do you need for a woman like her?"

Abigail's expression became even more unpleasant. "Shut up!"

Sebastian rebuked his sister angrily. Tiffany could no longer hold her anger. She lashed out at Sebastian, "You're still protecting her? Your wife is sick and already in the hospital, and you're still here protecting this woman who had betrayed you! Do you have any conscience?"

"What did you say?"

Sebastian's heart thumped, and his eyebrows were tightly knitted together.

"I said your wife is hospitalized. Do you need me to repeat it again?"

"Where is she?"

Sebastian let go of Abigail's arm and said in a low voice, "Take me there." "Just forget about it. I guess this woman needs you more now. You can accompany this woman and I'll take care of my sister-in-law myself."

"Take me there!"

Sebastian growled in a low voice, which startled Abigail and Tiffany.
