AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

When Jonas opened his eyes, he saw snowflakes falling from the gray sky. They looked like willow catkins dancing in the wind.

His phone suddenly vibrated. It was a call from the hospital.

He picked up the phone and his low, hoarse voice rang slowly:

– Good morning…

He didn’t know what the person on the other end of the line said, but he first breathed a sigh of relief. After a few seconds, his expression froze and the phone slipped from his palm.

The screen hit the cold stone slab and shattered instantly, just like his expression…

–

In the hospital room.

The great room was full of people, but the bed was empty. The quilt was neatly folded and there was no trace of lying down.

Sabrina and Joel each held a newborn in their arms. They hadn’t had a bath yet, but their skin was white and smooth, not at all that of a newborn.

Because they were not full term, the two children were light and thin like kittens.

Sabrina’s heart ached, but she was more worried about her daughter.

Roxane’s cesarean section did not go well. During the operation, she suddenly had heavy bleeding. Although the last two children were born safely, she was transferred to intensive care and her condition was not very good.

Family members were not allowed to enter the intensive care unit, so Sebastian stood guard at the entrance to the intensive care unit and did not come out.

As for the two children, he only cast a quick glance at them when the nurse carried them. He couldn’t clearly hear whether they were boys or girls, but he always thought of Roxane.

By the time Jonah rushed down the mountain, the sky was already dark and it was snowing heavily. The snow on the side of the road had already hampered his movement.

He limped out of the elevator and prepared a stomach full of words to scold Sebastian. Was it necessary to have a child? Was it more important to perpetuate the family line than Roxane?

However, the moment he saw Sebastian, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

The man who once dominated the business world, who was quick and decisive, full of plans and who was not soft-hearted even in front of his own mother, now sat in a simple chair, his head bowed and his hands supported . his forehead. His right back seemed to have been crushed by something.

Discouragement, sorrow and even deep despair.

It turned out that he was not invincible. He also had a weakness and there were times when he was helpless.

It turned out that they were all the same, watching the mortal world roll with their mortal bodies, sucked and stirred, unable to retreat.

When Jonas approached him, he couldn’t take it anymore. He sat down on the cold ground and took a deep breath.

– She will be fine. She still owes me a lot of paintings. I haven’t helped her organize an art exhibition yet. She will definitely be fine.

When Sebastian heard this, he slowly turned his head to look at her pale and even cracked lips, then at his pants. There was visibly dust and moisture on his knees.

He took the amulet out of his pocket.

– She asked me to keep this before coming in.

Jonas glanced at it and didn’t speak.

Sebastian’s open palm clenched slowly.

– She always thought I asked that for her. If she’s safe this time, I’ll tell her you asked this for her, and I’ll let her carry it with her for the rest of her life.

He was afraid, afraid that Buddha would no longer bless Roxane because of his selfishness.

Jonas’ eyes flashed. SO …

She didn’t know it. She never knew.

He lowered his head and laughed, his voice hoarse:

– No need

Sebastian’s black eyes were as calm as an ancient well. He looked at him in dead silence, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

– It doesn’t matter who asked.

-As long as she’s safe and sound, it doesn’t matter whether she knows it or not.

If she knew, it would become a burden for her and they would not be able to get along freely.

Three days.

Roxane stayed in the intensive care unit for three days, and Sebastien and Jonas guarded the entrance to the intensive care unit for the three days.

Roxane had woken up once during this period, but as her body was too weak, she fell back asleep without even saying a word to the nurse.

On the third day, she woke up again. His body’s indicators had returned to normal and his mind was much better.

The doctor announced that she was no longer in critical condition and could be transferred to the VIP ward.

Sebastien saw her in the room and lowered his head to kiss her deeply on the forehead.

“I thought you really didn’t want me anymore.

He lowered his head and pressed his forehead against her, his voice trembling.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

No one could understand how he had managed to survive the past three days. He dared neither leave nor sleep. Every time the door to the intensive care unit opened, his heart was in his mouth.

He was afraid that the doctor would come and inform him of his critical condition. He was afraid that she would really abandon him and leave.

He had even thought about what to do with their funeral. The only thing he didn’t do was send it to Patrice.

Roxane, you could feel her fear. She smiled and said in a weak voice:

-I’m sorry for worrying you.

– It’s good that you’re okay.

Sebastien kissed her lips, without worrying about Jonas, who was still in the room.
