Chapter 125
Yasmine''s heart wavered when she heard what her mother-inw had said. In fact, she had wanted
to give birth to a child for Sebastian Simons since a long time ago.
"What do you think? Shall we go now?"
Madam Simons'' sharp eyes could immediately tell with one nce that her daughter-inw''s heart
was already wavering. At that instant, she took the opportunity to encourage Yasmine to do a check
up at the hospital. Yasmine hesitated for a moment, and then finally agreed, "Well, alright. Let''s
have a quick check up then."
Yasmine and Madam Simons then went to a gynecology hospital at the city center. After registering,
Yasmine anxiously waited for her name to be called. Madam Simons noticed that she was nervous
so sheforted her, "Don''t be afraid. It''s just a simple check-up. Just thinking that you are about
to be a mother soon might help to ease your nerves."
"Okay."
Yasmine nodded. It was finally her turn. She got up and walked into one of the doctor''s rooms.
After a series of tests, she sat down in front of the doctor and asked nervously, "Doctor, is
everything alright?"
"We would have to wait until all the test results are out before we can know if there''s a problem or
not. But so far, there hasn''t been a problem at all with the results that we''ve got. The only problem
we have now is that your body is rtively weak, so I''ll prescribe some homeopathic supplements
for you. You just need to take them on time.
"Okay."
She breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "How many more of the test results do I have to
wait for?"
"Two."
"When can I know the results?"
"You cane back in 3 days."
"Oh, okay."
She took the prescription from the doctor and walked out of the consultation room. Her mother-in-
law, who was waiting outside the door, looked anxious. When she saw hering out, she
immediately went forward and asked, "How was it? What did the doctor say?"
"I still need to wait for the remaining test results, but there is no problem at all for the time being.
The doctor only said that my body is a bit weak so he prescribed me some homeopathic
supplements."
"Great, I knew that there wouldn''t be any problem. What about the supplements? Do you know how
to decoct them? Ah, don''t worry about it, I''ll send a servant to take care of you."
"There''s no need Mom. I''ve known how to decoct these medical herbs for my mother since I was
twelve so I''m very familiar with it."
The two of them walked out of the hospital while chatting. After saying goodbye to her mother-in-
law, Yasmine then returned to the vi.
After returning home, she slept through the whole afternoon and only got up in the evening. After
the nap, she went to the supermarket to get some groceries for tonight''s dinner so she could cook
dinner for her husband as a token of appreciation for working so hard.
Sebastian had finally returned home after a busy day. As soon as he stepped into the house, he
could instantly smell a strong aroma. He tracked down the smell and arrived at the kitchen. He
suddenly hugged Yasmine''s waist from behind, which startled her a little. She then smiled and said
grumpily, "You''re just like a ghost. Howe there''s no sound at all when you walk?"
"I just wanted to give you a surprise."
He buried his head in her long hair, smelling the fragrance of her hair.
"I''m the one who''s supposed to give you a surprise, though?"
"Yes, I am indeed very surprised. My wife is cooking tonight so it will be a great meal."
"If you want to enjoy a good meal, you can go to the living room and wait. I''ll call you when it''s
ready."
"How long will it take?"
"Around an hour."
"That''s so long, I''m already hungry. I wasn''t even fullst night." Sebastianined.
"Where did you have you dinnerst night?" "On the balcony," he said yfully.
Yasmine was stunned and couldn''t respond to his words at that instant. When she finally came back
to her senses, she raised her foot and kicked him angrily. "You''re so annoying. Get out of here."
"Okay, I''ll go out. Don''t kick me, you''re kicking your husband."
Yasmine raised the spat in her hand. "Are you still trying to mess around with me? I''ll knock your
teeth out."
"Wow, you are really such a beauty. You still look so good even when you are angry. Actually, you
don''t have to work so hard in the kitchen. You already look like a delicious meal yourself. You know
you can just feed me sexually with your body, right?" Sebastian said flirtatiously.
Before a frying pan could fly in his direction, Sebastian had already escaped to the living room.
After a while, he returned to the kitchen again. "Honey, what''s this?"
He held the stic bag in his hand and asked with a puzzled look.
Yasmine nced at it and answered casually, "Those are supplements. Can''t you see it with your
own eyes?"
"Are you not feeling well?" he asked nervously as he walked over to her.
"I''m fine, I just want to get pregnant as soon as possible, so I went to the hospital for a check-up.
The doctor said that my body is a little weak, so he gave me this so that my body can get stronger."
Sebastian''s face suddenly darkened and he said angrily, "What kind of doctor is this? It''s nonsense.
My wife is the healthiest woman in the world. How can you be weak? I think he is the one who is
weak."
"Humph."
Yasmine smiled and said grumpily, "What the doctor says is always right. Otherwise, how could he
be a doctor?"
"The people at the hospital really have no conscience. In order to make money, they can just make
up some problems even though you''re not sick at all. Don''t be fooled by them. Don''t take these
supplements, what if something goes wrong after taking them?."
"I think you are just overthinking. No matter how ruthless the people at the hospital are, they won''t
deliberately hurt anyone''s health. It''s fine, Mom said that she had taken these supplements before."
Sebastian''s face darkened again. "What have you been doing behind my back?"
Yasmine realized that she had identally blurted out something that she shouldn''t have said, so
she immediately changed the topic and said, "It''s ready, we can eat now. Let''s start eating."
"If I tell you not to take those supplements, then don''t take it. Just see how I''ll deal with you if
anything happens to you."
Yasmine thought that Sebastian was just joking with her. However, when she woke up the next
morning, she found out that he had deliberately hidden the supplements somewhere in the house.
She really didn''t know whether tough or cry at his behavior.
In the morning, she received a phone call from Scott Jules. When the call came, she was writing an
article on how to alleviate the student''s stress on herputer. Scott was not the kind of person
who would pester her persistently, so he usually wouldn''t disturb her unless there was something
important.
"Hello, Principal Jules, what''s the matter?"
"Miss Taylor, are you free tonight?"
"Why?"
"Let''s have a meal together."
"Didn''t we just have a meal?"
"Can''t we have another meal together?" He asked.
"But I''m a married woman. It would be inappropriate for me to eat with another man all the time."
"Are you kidding me? Why does it sound like you are living in the 70''s ? Getting married or divorced
is such amon thing nowadays, don''t you think that you are a little too conservative and
outdated when you say those words?"
Yasmine took a deep breath. "I don''t think so."
Scott touched his forehead and sighed. "Then ording to what you have said, wouldn''t it mean
that married people can''t be friends with the opposite sex anymore? Are they going to be isted
from the world then?"
"That''s not true. It''s just that there has to be a boundary. It''s been a long time since I went out to
have dinner with my husband. If I agree to you this time, it would be the second time that I''ve gone
out for dinner with you this week."
"Do you need to be so clear about everything? Are youing or not?"
"If you have a reasonable reason, then I will think about it."
"Today is my birthday. Is this reason sufficient enough?"
Yasmine chuckled and said, "Are you kidding me? I asked you to find a reason so you just randomly
say that it''s your birthday."
"I''m serious."
"Wait a second, let me verify it first."
She put the phone on the table and immediately logged on to her Facebook ount to message
Lily Adams. "Miss Adams, are you there?"
"?" Lily replied with a big question mark.
"Whose birthday is it today?"
If it was really Scott''s birthday, Lily would surely know since she cared about him a lot.
"Scott Jules."
When she replied, Yasmine was a little confused. "It really is his birthday."
She then picked up her mobile phone and reluctantly agreed to Scott''s dinner invitation, "Okay
then."
It''s his birthday, so she had no reason to refuse him.
After hanging up the phone, she nced at theputer screen and saw the message that Lily had
sent to her. "Why did you ask this?" At that instant, Yasmine came up with an idea.
"Here''s the thing. I owed Principal Jules a meal and I''ve agreed to treat him to a dinner on his
birthday, but I suddenly have something urgent that I have to attend to tonight, so, can you..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Lily replied, "Don''t even think about it."
"Why? Why?"
"I don''t want to be anyone''s substitute. Moreover, I''m not such an ignorant person. You are the one
who Principal Jules wants to celebrate his birthday with!"
"Please, I really have something to do. Can you please help me this time?"
"No!!!"
"Then I''ll tell Scott tonight that you have a crush on him." Yasmine made her ultimate move.
Sure enough, it worked. Lily was angry and immediately said, "I dare you!"
"Don''t you really think that I wouldn''t dare to do that? That is what you get for not helping. If you are
going to be so ruthless to me, then don''tin that I''m being mean to you."
Lily was so angry that she wanted to smash the monitor but she thought it over again. Although she
was very reluctant, she was worried that Yasmine would really tell Scott that she had a crush on
him, so she had no choice but to agree. "Okay, but this is the first and also thest time!"
In order to hide the secret in her heart, God only knew how much self- esteem that she had
sacrificed.
"If the atmosphere is good tonight, then you should just confess your love to him."
Yasmine carefully suggested. Lily immediately sent an angry emoji and said, "Just mind your own
business!"
At night, Lily sat on the bed and was about to go crazy. What should she do? Should she really
celebrate Scott''s birthday on Yasmine''s behalf? Even if she hasn''t see it with her own eyes, she
already could imagine Scott''s disappointed face when he sees her.
After a painful dilemma, she changed her clothes and went to the address that Yasmine had sent to
her.
Standing at the entrance of the private room, she once again fell into a painful struggle with herself.
She raised her hand into the air, not knowing whether to knock on the door or not.
Just as she was still hesitating whether to knock on the door or not, the door suddenly opened with
a squeak, and Scott was standing in front of her in a nice suit.
When he saw her, he looked even more surprised than her. "Lily, why are you here?"
"I... I..." Lily was in a panic and didn''t know what to say at that instant.
"Where is Yasmine?"
Scott seemed to have noticed something and asked in a deep voice.
"Yasmine has something urgent to do tonight, so she had invited me toe over and have dinner
with you."
It was at that moment that she saw his disappointed expression, it was exactly how she had
imagined. Looking at his disappointed face, Lily felt a pinch in her heart.
"Okay,e in then. I didn''t have any high hopes that she woulde anyway."
Scott pretended to be indifferent, but Lily, who had been secretly in love with him, could easily see
through his disguise.
They sat face to face. Scott opened a bottle of wine and asked her, "Do you drink?"
"I''ll have a ss, please."
He poured a ss of wine for her and then another for himself. He pointed to the dishes on the
table and said, "Let''s eat. There''s no need to be so reserved."
After that, he stopped talking and began to drink the wine one ss after another.
Lily looked at him sadly and thought that he wouldn''t be so silent if the person sitting opposite him
was not her, but Yasmine.
"I came here in a hurry, so I didn''t prepare any gifts. So I could only give you this drawing that I have
painted myself to you as a gift."
"Alright, thanks."
Scott took it over and put it aside without even looking at it.
Lily''s heart ached again. No matter how uninterested he was in her, he should at least take a look at
the gift that she had given to him.
Soon enough, Scott was already drunk and began to speak uncontrobly, "Lily, do all women like
bad men... you know someone like Sebastian Simons... Yasmine really has a bad taste because
she didn''t choose a man like me. She will definitely regret it... She will regret... But it wouldn''t
matter, I can wait for her, I will wait until the day that she realizes her choice was a mistake... Then
at that time, we can be together happily..."
Lily knew that that day would nevere, but she would not make him realize that. Just like she
knew that he did not like her, but she still dreamed that one day, Scott would regret not falling in love
with a woman like her.
"Lily, you are Yasmine''s good friend, aren''t you... Do you know what her heart is made of? How
could she always ignore my existence... I''ve known her earlier than Sebastian and fell in love with
her earlier than him, but why didn''t she follow the rules of the game..."
"Because love is not a game, so she doesn''t need to follow any rules. Love is about feelings, and
no matter how early two people start to know each other, it is useless if they don''t feel anything for
each other."
Lily''s answer was full of sadness. The only topic that she had with Scott was always about Yasmine,
and every word she said to him sounded like advice to herself.
"Perhaps love is really rted to fate. I have worked so hard for three years but I still failed to win
her heart. Sebastian got her in just three months... I really can''t ept it..."
At that moment, tears were already welling up in Scott''s eyes. When she saw his dejected face,
Lily''s heart was so painful that she could hardly breathe. How important was that woman in the
man''s heart that he would cry for her?
He theny on the table with his forehead resting on his arm. He stopped talking nonsense and
seemed to have fallen asleep.
"Scott..."
Lily sniffed as she reached out and gently push his shoulder.
There was no response from him at all. He really had fallen asleep.
Lily could no longer control herself and her tears immediately flowed out of her eyes. She sobbed
painfully while drinking the white wine. Eventually, she felt a little tipsy.
"Bang!" Shey on the table and slowly moved her hand towards the man who was sitting opposite
her. She touched his cheek with her trembling hand and said sorrowfully, "You are just like me,
being ignored by the one that you love. We can only feel the pain ourselves, and only cry to
ourselves."
"I don''t mind being a wallflower that you have never paid attention to, but I do mind that you have
given up the entire forest for one tree. Falling in love with someone is to hope that they can have a
good life. I hope that you can find scenery that belongs only to you and live a happy life, instead of
looking at the scenery that will never be yours. Even if I can''t be with you, I still hope that you will
not be drowned in this misfortune as I have."Original content from N?velDrama.Org.
Lily closed her eyes painfully, and her tears flowed down along her long eyshes. Just when she
was still feeling a little tipsy, she suddenly heard a voice which made her want to bury her head in
the sand.
"It turns out that the person you like really is me."
