The Seventh Miserable Bride novel Chapter 97

"We saw it with our own eyes just now and you still want to deny it? In short, no matter how impatient you are, you have to hold it back. I’m leaving."

When Sebastian returned to the ward, Yasmine asked in surprise, "Didn't you go back with them?"

"I’m not going back. I'll stay here with you tonight."

"There’s no place to sleep here."

"I'm not sleeping. I’ll sit next to you."

"You don't have to do that. You still have to work tomorrow. Go back with them."

"Work is not as important as you. That's it. Stop talking. I'll put you to sleep."

Sebastian gently patted her shoulder, but Yasmine said, "Can you tell me a story?"

"Huh?"

This was a little difficult for him. "You’re not a three-year-old. Why listen to stories?"

"But I really want to hear one. You can tell me whatever you want."

Sebastian thought for a moment and said, "Well, then, I'll tell you the story of Alibaba and the 40 thieves."

While he was telling the story, Yasmine did not fall asleep. On the contrary, he was about to fall asleep himself. Seeing his tired look, she laughed and said, "Come on up, let's sleep together?" "No way."

He shook his head firmly.

"Why not?"

"I'm afraid I can't control myself..."

She burst into laughter and teased him in a low voice. "Pervert."

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. It was a very sunny day when Yasmine was finally discharged from the hospital. On the other hand, the Taylor family was busy with their escape plan.

Henry had finished transferring the funds. The whole family packed up their luggage. When they were about to leave for the airport, the doorbell suddenly rang.

He walked over to open the door worriedly. When he saw two men in police uniforms standing outside the door, he felt that something was wrong. He pretended to be calm and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Are you Henry Taylor?"

"Yes."

"We have received a tip that you were suspected of commercial fraud, leakage of business secrets and the murder of Tanya Lorris 15 years ago. Please come with us to the police station for the above charges."

"You’ve got the wrong person. I didn't commit any commercial fraud or leak any business secrets. I also didn't kill anyone. You’ve really got the wrong person." Henry denied all the crimes in panic, but the two policemen did not listen to his explanation, dragged him into the police car and left.

Dorothy and Linda who were in the house had been scared out of their wits. When Dorothy realized what happened, she immediately said, "Linda, we must run away now."

"Mom, what about Dad? Are we not going to care about Dad?"

"We can't care about him now. If we don't leave now, all of us will die. Sebastian will definitely think of a way to kill us."

As soon as the two of them walked out of the villa, several barbaric men stopped them. "Want to run away? Hurry up and get back into your house!"

Linda was so scared that she burst into tears. "Mom, what should we do? It seems that we can't run away."

Dorothy was also so anxious that she did not know what to do. Besides, her daughter kept crying in her ears, she was annoyed and shouted, "Cry, cry, cry, all you know is just to cry. Useless thing!"

Henry was taken to the police station to aid the investigation, while Dorothy and Linda were placed under house arrest by the people sent by Sebastian. He wanted to seek justice for Yasmine, one step at a time, and let those wicked people receive the punishments they deserved.

The news of Henry's arrest soon spread in City B. Although he was not a very influential person, his case attracted public attention because he was involved in a murder case. Yasmine also heard the news and she knew that it was Sebastian who had fulfilled her wish. She was very grateful. When Sebastian returned home in the evening, he saw her busy in the kitchen with an apron, so he put his arms around her waist and said, "Why aren’t you resting in bed? Have you recovered fully?"

"It’s nothing serious. The longer I lay in bed, the more likely I'm going to get sick."

"Then why did you have to cook by yourself?"

She turned around and looked at him with an affectionate look and said, "To show my gratitude to someone, who sought justice for me."

Sebastian smiled gently, put his hand on her forehead and said, "I don't want such a reward. I want a more practical reward."

Yasmine was well aware of what was going on. "How practical?"

"How about putting on an exciting 'show' in the kitchen?"

"You're annoying."

When the two of them hugged each other, Yasmine said sincerely, "Sebastian, thank you."

"It's too early to say thank you now. The real show hasn't started yet."

Tiffany appeared at the wrong time. "Hey, you two stop being so lovey-dovey, okay? We’re starving."

After dinner, Yasmine was dragged upstairs by Sebastian with the excuse that she needed to rest. Once they were upstairs, he held her in his arms and said, "Yasmine, I have to go on a business trip tomorrow. What should I do?"

She answered blankly, "Then, go."

"But I’ll miss you."
