The Seventh Miserable Bride novel Chapter 179

"I won't leave! I'm no longer the coward that I was three years ago!"

"That's good to hear."

Sebastian Simons sneered. He turned around and whispered to her ear, "You pushed Yasmine to hell. Therefore, from now on, I will let you live in hell too."

Abigail's face turned pale.

Yasmine Taylor finally reached F City after spending the whole day in the train. She didn't have anywhere else to go. The only person she could go to was her uncle, Chuck Lorris.

When she got off the train, her uncle and aunt had already been waiting for her at the train station. They rushed over excitedly to her as soon as they saw her. Her aunt held her hand and said, "Yasmine, I'm very happy to see you. Let me have a look at you. Why are you so thin? Have you been dieting?"

Yasmine smiled bitterly, "Aunt, I'm a little tired. Let's go back and talk about it then, shall we?"

"Okay, okay, Chuck, take her luggage."

The three of them took a taxi back to their residence. Yasmine looked at her uncle and aunt's house. Although it was not as luxurious as the mansion of the Simons family, but it was lovely. Uncle poured her a glass of water and said, "You must be hungry. Your aunt is getting you something to eat." She nodded and asked her uncle, "What do you do for a living now?"

"Well, what else could I do?" Chuck sighed. "Your aunt's health is not at its best and she has to rely on medicine most of the time. I carry goods for people at the dock. The salary is not low, but after spending the money on our daily expenses, we don't have much left for ourselves."

"Why didn't you tell me last time when you were in B City?" she asked.

"We have already troubled you too much. We can't rely on you for the rest of our lives."

Her aunt brought a plate of french toasts, "Have something to eat first. You must be exhausted after sitting on the train for such a long time."

Yasmine took a slice and put it into her mouth. Her hands were trembling. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had taken a bite, but she didn't feel hungry at all. Perhaps when one was truly and heartbroken, they wouldn't starve to death easily.

"Why do you have the time to come to F City to visit us this time? Don't you need to work?"

Chuck and his wife still didn't know about her divorce, so they simply thought that she just came to visit them in F city.

"I quit my job at school," she said.

The couple was stunned. They patted on their thighs and said, "Well, you've already married into a wealthy family. You should have just quit your job from the beginning and stay at home comfortably." "I'm divorced." she continued softly.

"Huh?"

The couple was so shocked that they almost dropped their jaws. "What... what did you say?"

Chuck asked, stammering.

"I've just gotten divorced. I don't have anything left."

"No way! You two seemed fine when we visited you the last time. Why did you divorce Sebastian?"

Chuck and his wife couldn't accept it at all. They thought their niece was joking.

Yasmine's lips twitched a few times, and huge tears welled up in her eyes, dripping into the plate of french toasts.

Seeing her tears, Mindy Yard realized that Yasmine was not kidding. She asked carefully, "You aren't really divorced, are you?"

"Why should I lie to you?"

"Why then? There must be a reason. Divorce is not something you should joke about."

Yasmine put down the plate in her hand and said with tears in her eyes, "Because I can't bear children."

"Can't... can't bear children?"

Mindy's eyes widened in shock and she glanced at the belly of her niece. "Are you saying that you are infertile?!"

"Yes."

Yasmine nodded with tears in her eyes.

"How is it that you can't have children?" Mindy suddenly cried, "You are a healthy girl, how could it be?!"

Perhaps because she couldn't give birth herself, Mindy couldn't accept this cruel fact either, even more so than Chuck.

Yasmine began to recite the torment that she had suffered over the past six months. When it came to the most excruciating part, she could no longer hold back her tears. She thought that she would never cry again for the rest of her life. However, when she thought of Sebastian, her heart still hurt so much that she could not breathe.

"These bunch of b*stards are simply not human!"

After listening to his niece's story, Chuck hit the table with his fist in rage. The glass on the table fell to the ground because of the vibration. With a snap, the glass was shattered into pieces and water flowed out to the ground.

Mindy thought it was not impossible that Yasmine had been forced into divorcing her husband just because she was infertile. After all, the Simons were a wealthy family. Since the olden times, families like theirs had placed great importance on having their children to succeed in their family businesses. Therefore, how could they accept a daughter-in-law who couldn't give birth to a child? It was unfortunate that her pitiful niece was caught in this miserable reality.

"My child, why is your fate as miserable as your mother's..."

Mindy hugged Yasmine and cried sadly. Back then, she had witnessed her mother's tragic fate with her own eyes. Unexpectedly, 20 years later, she witnessed Yasmine sharing the same fate as her mother. Moreover, Yasmine was even more pitiful than her mother. At least, her mother still had a child even though she eventually lost her love. Yasmine however, had nothing.

"What are you planning to do now?"

Mindy wiped the tears from her eyes and asked distressed ly.

"I want to live with you. Although I could find my path again somewhere else, but I have lost my mother and the person I love deeply. I am really lonely. I have no other relatives. You are my only relatives. Being with you is like being with my mother, of course..."

Yasmine paused for a moment, "Uncle, if it's not convenient for you, then I'll leave tomorrow. I'm not asking you to take me in. I just don't want to be alone."

"You're not going anywhere else. You're staying here with us!"

Chuck stood up and walked up to her. "More than a decade ago, I was a jerk for refusing my sister when she entrusted you to me. Now, I will not be such a jerk again. I will take good care of you even if I had to sell everything off. From now on, your aunt and I will treat you like our own daughter. It doesn't matter if we are poor, what matters most is that we are happy."

"Thank you, really..."

Yasmine shed tears of gratitude. Chuck and Mindy cried, and the three of them hugged each other while crying.

After crying for a long time, Mindy got up and said, "There's an empty room next door. I'll tidy it up and let you stay there."

"I'll help you."
