The Seventh Miserable Bride novel Chapter 191

In reality, the diamond snow had never made its appearance and they eventually separated. Over the past two years, every time the snow fluttered, Yasmine Taylor couldn't help but ponder how different things would have turned out if she and Sebastian had seen the diamond dust...

In the end, Yasmine caught a cold. She was soaked wet in the rain and the cold breeze blew unto her during the night. She began to feel feverish at dawn and Gabriel had to postpone their partners' meetings till the next day.

It was afternoon when Yasmine returned from the hospital. After being on the drip the entire morning, Yasmine felt that she was about to collapse. Gabriel chided her out of concern for not taking care of herself. He asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll have someone to send the food over from the cafeteria."

Yasmine shook her head and declined, "I only feel like sleeping for now."

"You have not eaten anything since morning. Do you want to die here?"

"But I really don't have the appetite."

Gabriel Smith frowned and said, "Wait for me here."

He turned around and walked towards the restaurant. After a while, he returned with a piece of cake. It was beautiful and delicate. "I had specifically called them and instructed them to prepare this for you when we were still at the hospital. It's okay if you don't feel like eating, but try to finish this."

Yasmine received the cake from Gabriel. She could already smell the faint aroma of roses before it entered her mouth. She smiled and said, "This is truly the best food for the sick, I feel like munching on this even if I have no appetite."

The duo took the lift up. By the time they reached the room, Yasmine had finished her cake. Gabriel covered her with a quilt as she lay down on her bed. He asked delightfully, "Do you feel much better now?"

"Yes, I feel a little bit better now."

Yasmine nodded and asked further, "What did you give me?"

"A cake laced with aphrodisiacs."

"Ah!" She sat up in surprise and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Heh, I'm just kidding, silly. Although it was just a small cake, I made sure it's very nutritious."

Gabriel saw the panic on her face and explained mischievously.

"Don't scare me like that."

Yasmine glared at him and said, "You're so annoying. Go away, I'm going to sleep."

"Okay, I'll be in the next room. Call me if you need anything."

When she heard the door closing, Yasmine sighed helplessly. It was uncommon to meet a nice man like Gabriel, but she...

Yasmine slept for four hours straight. When she woke up, it was already approaching dusk. After refilling her drip and resting the entire afternoon, Yasmine felt much more energetic. She got out of bed and poured herself a glass of water. She was drinking halfway when Gabriel knocked on her door and entered the room.

"How do you feel? Do you feel better?"

"Yes, I feel much better now."

"Then it shouldn't be a problem if we head out for dinner, right?"

"Where are we heading to?"

"The president of Yaslor Corporation heard that we have arrived in B City, so he specially booked a private room in Venus Hotel to welcome us."

"You should go ahead. I don't really feel like going."

"I won't go if you don't. How could I leave a sick person here while I'm out having fun?"

Yasmine had no choice but to give in, "Fine, let's go together then."

Yasmine was a dedicated assistant to Gabriel, so she understood the importance of mutual cooperation between different corporations. If Gabriel had declined the request because of her, the president of Yaslor Corporation would surely be unhappy. This would only be detrimental to Gabriel's career.

"I'll change first, wait for me downstairs."

"Okay." Yasmine wore an elegant set of outfits and put on a light and delicate makeup. Then, she met Gabriel downstairs before they both embarked for Venus Hotel.

When they arrived at the hotel's private room, there was already a decent crowd. Yasmine stayed behind Gabriel as she saw him shaking hands with a man who was of almost the same height as Gabriel. Gabriel greeted enthusiastically, "Nice to meet you, President Sebastian."

Yasmine's heart skipped a beat as she heard the familiar name. She took a step forward and finally saw the man whose face was initially blocked by Gabriel.

At that moment, Yasmine's eyes made contact with Sebastian's and they both were stunned. However, neither of them uttered a single word.

"President Sebastian, let me introduce you to my special assistant, Miss Madeline Lorris."

"Madeline, this is Mr. Sebastian Simons, the president of Yaslor Corporation."

Yasmine stared at Sebastian, and her heart ached so much that she struggled to breathe. Dumbfoundedly, she extended her hand and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Simons."

Yasmine pretended not to recognize him, and Sebastian did the same as well. "Hello."

After exchanging their greetings, Gabriel suddenly wrapped his arm around Yasmine's shoulder and joked, "She is likely going to be my future wife."

Sebastian's eyes reflected a trace of sadness, but it was fleeting. "Congratulations!" Sebastian said. There was no longer any glimmer of expression on his face.

"Excuse me, I need to use the washroom."
