After Fynn finished his words, Yasmine cried. Pearllike tears were sliding down her cheeks to her chin. She couldn't speak. She was like a blockhead, crying uncontrollably.
"I'm just telling you all of this, just to let you know that it's impossible for Abigail to come back, so you're the only person who can save him. If you give up now, then his life will be completely ruined."
"I know, I won't give up on him."
Yasmine walked to Sebastian's bed with trembling steps. She held one of his hands and placed it on her chest, tears were streaming down her cheeks again.
"You must get well. Sebastian, promise me, you must recover as soon as possible. You will never know that, under that strong appearance of mine, I'm just a vulnerable woman. Sometimes, I'm so timid that I don't even have the courage to step on an ant. For someone like myself, I needed a lot of courage to put down all the emotional baggage that I have been carrying with me all this while just to love you, just like how you have gathered the courage to move on from Abigail and to accept me and love me."
Sebastian did not react at all. His hands were as cold as a block of ice. Yasmine felt sorry for him and held his hand in hers. She held his hand close to her mouth and blew out warm air to warm up his hand but she all could only do was warm up his hands but not his heart.
She stretched out her hand to touch his defined facial features. She then slowly leaned down on his chest. She kissed his dry lips, his tall nose bridge, his long eyelashes, and finally her lips to the side of his ear. She sobbed and whispered to him, "Actually, feelings can be retrieved..."
It was said that only when you lost it, you would know how to cherish it, but after you cherish it, the pain you felt when you lose it will be greater than anything.
Yasmine accompanied Sebastian by his bed for the entire night. After daybreak, she called the Mansion House and then led the four bodyguards who came from the Mansion House to her parents' home.
Dorothy Ryles was very surprised at her arrival and asked bluntly, "Why did you come to our house?"
"Where is Linda Taylor?"
"Why are you looking for Linda? Linda is not someone you can see whenever you want."
As soon as she finished her words, Linda came down with her hair disheveled. She yawned lazily and satirized, "You really are ignorant, aren't you. Don't you know that you are the last person that our family will ever want to see?"
Yasmine slowly stepped forward and slapped her in the face. She slapped her on the both sides of her face without any mercy.
"Ah! How dare you hit me!"
It was another earth- shattering scream. Linda screamed and rushed to her and wanted to fight with her. Yasmine lifted her leg and kicked her to the side of the coffee table. When her head hit the table, she immediately got a big bump on her head.
Dorothy was stunned by the sudden attack. When she had come back to her senses, she immediately pounced on Yasmine like a savage bulldog. "How dare you hit my daughter!"
The two bodyguards behind Yasmine had easily pinned down the crazy Dorothy, and the other two strong men held Linda down on the ground. Yasmine walked to Dorothy and gave her a hard slap. She told her, "This slap is for my mother." Slap... another slap landed on Dorothy's face. "This slap is for myself."
Dorothy had never been humiliated like this before. She struggled hysterically and shouted, "You b*tch, how dare you slap me in the face! I won't let you go for this!"
Slap... Yasmine slapped her in the face again. She reminded her coldly, "If you continue to curse me, I'll beat you up whenever you open your mouth. If you would like to let your rich friends know that your red and swollen face was caused by your husband's illegitimate daughter, then you can scold me as much as you want. I'll beat you up to my heart's content as you scold me because I've thought since a long time that you needed some beating."
Dorothy was so angry by Yasmine's words that she burst into tears. Linda was about to curse, but when she saw Yasmine's sharp eyes glancing at her, she swallowed back her words and cried, "Wait for it. When my dad comes back, he will never spare you!"
Yasmine snorted and ordered the four brawny men, "Destroy everything."
After receiving the order from their master, the four men brought in the tools that were placed outside of the house. The tools were all as thick and heavy as iron rods. The men then lifted them up, went into the living room and started to smash everything they saw. Linda and her mother were frightened. They hugged each other and hid behind the sofa while shivering. They could only let out shrill screams as they listened to the sound of the expensive electrical appliances and opulent decorations in their home being destroyed.
Looking at this scene, the servants in the house were so scared that they hid anywhere they could find. No one dared to come forward to stop them. What's more, they didn't even want to stop them, because they had been fed up with these two oppressive ladies' attitudes.
The room was soon in a mess. Yasmine walked to the sofa and said harshly, "You won't let me live a good life, so I will never let you live a good life in return. From now on, I will not allow you to walk over me ever again."
After leaving the Taylor family's villa, Yasmine came to the hospital again, but Sebastian was still unconscious. She looked at him quietly for a moment, and then went back to school to apply for a leave of absence. She was ready to take care of Sebastian wholeheartedly until he wakes up.
Under her careful care, Sebastian finally woke up on the third day. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Yasmine's sleeping face. He wanted to pull himself back from her hand under her head, but he accidentally woke her up while trying to so. Yasmine suddenly stood up and asked, "You're awake?"
Sebastian ignored her caring eyes and pointed at the door with a stoic face. "Get out. I don't want to see you now."
At this moment, the Simons came. They were very happy to see Sebastian had woken up. But when they saw their daughter- in- law's sad face, they immediately became worried again. Tiffany Simons asked in a low voice, "Brother, what's the matter?"
"Ask her to get out."
Sebastian turned his head away. Yasmine struggled to hold back the urge to cry and left the ward.
"Brother, how can you treat Yasmine like this? She has been taking care of you by your bedside while you were unconscious all this while."
Tiffany was very dissatisfied with her brother's attitude and glared at him as she complained.
"Well, can you guys leave us alone for a moment? Let me talk to him."
Titus Simons cast a meaningful glance at his son, and the Madam Simons dragged her daughter out of the ward.
When Titus and Sebastian were the only ones left in the ward, Titus said, "Do you really hate her so much that you don't even want to see her?"
"I don't want to talk about her now. If you want to talk about this, we have nothing else to talk about." Sebastian replied.
"Have you ever thought about the people who had betrayed or lied to you? Have you thought that they had done that because they had no choice? Perhaps they didn't even mean to hurt you, but because of their own difficulties, they ended up hurting you?" Titus asked.
"Who are you referring to? Abigail or Yasmine?" Sebastian retorted sarcastically.
He glanced at his father coldly and said, "I think you are referring to Abigail. I'm afraid that you know the reason why she left."
Titus looked uneasy and said, "How would I know? I am too at loss, like you."
"Really? Can you explain why you had asked Abigail out repeatedly the month before she left? What on earth did you say to her?"
