AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Deborah’s condition was getting worse day by day.

Enzo helped Mathis apply for leave from kindergarten. During the day, he took Mathis to the hospital to visit Deborah. At night, he returned to the apartment. As for his work, he either completed it in the service or left it to his subordinates.

Roxane saw how hard Enzo worked, so she suggested letting Mathis stay at Moon Pavilion so she could take care of him.

Enzo decisively refused her. After all, Roxane still had classes. It would be awkward for her to bring Mathis with her.

Fernand came to the hospital every day. Sometimes he came in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon and sometimes at night. However, Deborah still refused to see him and there were bodyguards standing at the entrance.

Fernand’s sudden return naturally caused a huge stir. Many people were watching him so he couldn’t afford to act rashly or cause a commotion. Therefore, he could only stand outside the ward every day before leaving.

He had also contacted experts. However, everyone shook their heads helplessly after reading Deborah’s medical report.

It wasn’t very surprising. After all, Sebastien had already invited the best doctors from M City, and even from Beijing. If there was a way, he would have found it by now.

Deborah fell unconscious several times, but was successfully resuscitated by the doctor. However, she was already on life support at that point.

When Sebastien and Roxane visited Deborah again, she went to great lengths to beg them not to resuscitate her again if she fell unconscious again. The days in the hospital were too exhausting and living without any dignity was also a form of torture for her. At that moment, death would be a real relief for her.

Roxane’s eyes reddened when she heard Deborah’s request. She shook her head.

– No, no… You still have Mumu.

Deborah’s eyes were filled with tears as she struggled to say:

– Please, please, you… have…

Ell6 couldn’t finish her words. She seemed to have exhausted her energy by saying these few words.

At this moment, Sebastien nodded and said calmly:

– I promise you.

– Seb!

Roxane turned around and looked at Sebastien in shock.

Sebastien did not look at Roxane. Instead, he asked Deborah:

-Are you sure you don’t want to see him?

Deborah slowly closed her eyes. His answer was obvious.

…

Autumn in M City brought with it bad weather. It was raining and the drizzle lasted for a few days. It was dark.

Late at night.

Lightning flashed in the sky followed by a clap of thunder as Roxane suddenly woke up. Her eyes were wet with tears.

No one knew if Sebastien had been awakened by the thunder or Roxane’s movements, but he also sat up. His big hand caressed her back, saying:

– It’s good. It’s just thunder. Do not be afraid.

Roxane’s expression was sad as she said:

– Let’s go to the hospital.

Sebastian was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he didn’t ask any questions before nodding and agreeing. He got out of bed and changed his clothes before calling Enzo to inform him.

As Deborah’s health was poor, the hospital arranged for a nurse to stay with her 24 hours a day. After all, Enzo couldn’t stay the night because he had to take Mathis back to the hospital. home with him.

During the ride to the hospital, the rain was heavy and the wind was strong. The heavy rains looked set to turn the city upside down.

Roxane’s delicate hand held Sebastien’s hand. She turned from time to time to look at his handsome profile which was illuminated by the faint light from outside. A hint of sadness can be seen in his eyes.

Sebastien squeezed her hand gently, silently comforting her. No one in this world could escape the cycle of birth, old age, illness and death. He had seen clearly a long time ago so he didn’t have the sentimentality of an ordinary person.

When Roxane and Sebastien arrived at the hospital, the doctor and nurses who saw them told them to come in quickly.

Because Deborah didn’t want to be resuscitated, the doctor and nurses no longer just injected her with medication to temporarily give her a little more time to say goodbye to her family and friends.

She was lying on the bed. Illness and pain had tortured her until she was like a withered twig. His hair had fallen out a lot and his complexion was pale and sallow. There was no longer any gentleness in his almond-shaped eyes, only endless exhaustion.

Roxane rushed to the bedside and held Deborah’s hand. She said softly:

-Wait a little longer. My brother and Mumu are on their way here.

Deborah blinked slowly as if responding to Roxane’s words.

Sebastien stood next to Roxane, silently sending Deborah on her final journey as well.

Enzo rushed in with Mathis in his arms. He was out of breath when he arrived and his clothes were slightly soaked from the rain.

Mathis, who was in Enzo’s arms, was in a daze. He was still wearing his pajamas. He looked at Deborah, who was lying on the hospital bed, with red eyes, and he was clearly trying his best to hold back tears. He cried

– Mom…

Deborah took a lot of effort to raise her hand and place it on Mathis’ head. She seemed to be on the end of the line as she said weakly:

– Mumu, you… must… grow up…

As soon as she finished speaking, her hand slipped limply from Mathis’ head and his eyes closed as well.

Mathis was stunned. When he reacted, he hugged Deborah’s arm and shouted anxiously:

– Mom ! Mummy mummy !

Alas, she could no longer answer him. Even the arm that was hugged by Mathis gradually lost its warmth.

Mathis could no longer hold back his tears. They burst out of his eyes, streaming down his face. He looked like a wounded little beast as he screamed over and over:

– Mom ! Mom, don’t leave Mumu! I… I won’t be bad anymore! Mom, wake up! Mom!

Roxane couldn’t bear to watch such a scene. She turned her head and wiped away her tears.

Enzo sighed heavily. Like his sister, he turned away, unable to watch this scene. At first, he disliked Deborah for trying to morally kidnap Sebastian and for selfishly trying to plan Mathis’ future without worrying about anyone else. However, now that she was gone like a snuffed candle, there was nothing left to say or feel. In the end, she was just a pitiful woman.

Mathis always cried when there was movement outside the room.From NôvelDrama.Org.
