Chapter 214
"It''s fine if you want to go back to him, but I''ll stick to the same words I said back then. From now
on, I am no longer your uncle. Let''s not meet each other for the rest of our lives!"
Yasmine''s uncle also went mad.
Yasmine Taylor sighed helplessly, turned around, and went out of the house. She said to Sebastian
who was standing outside the door, "What should we do? You made Gabriel see your sincerity, but
you didn''t let my uncle and aunt see it. They arepletely against it. What should we do?"
Sebastian Simons did not say a word. He walked straight into the house and said to the Lorrises
who was sitting on the sofa with a gloomy face, "Uncle, Aunt, I know that Yasmine had suffered a lot
when she was with me in the past. I promise it won''t happen again."
"Why should we believe your words?"
"I swear to God that I''ll be struck by lightning if I can''t do it. I''ll die a terrible death without a whole
body..."
"Sebastian, don''t make such a vicious vow!"
As soon as Yasmine heard that he was swearing on his own life, she thought of Richie''s curse and
hurriedly stopped Sebastian.
When Chuck Lorris heard that Sebastian could even make such a vow, he turned his head and said
nothing more.
"Don''t forget that Yasmine can''t have children." Mindy Yard reminded him.
Sebastian replied seriously, "I did not care about that from the very beginning."
"But your parents will mind,"
"My father has passed away, and my mother has told me that my happiness is above anything
else."
Hearing this, even though they were still unconvinced, they knew that they could not interfere
further. Mindy held her niece''s hand and said solemnly, "Since it''s your choice, it''s no good for us to
intervene. Your uncle and I are not your parents. We can''t decide for you. We only hope that you
could really find happiness this time."
Yasmine''s throat was a bit hoarse. She hugged her aunt, "I''ve already regarded you as my parents
in my heart. I really thank you for the past two years."
She followed Sebastian and left the home that had sheltered here for the past two years and set
foot again on a road that she had once walked before. They arrived at the airport soon after.
Sebastian had just booked their flight tickets when Yasmine''s phone rang. Seeing that it was her
uncle''s number, she hurriedly answered the call. "Hello, uncle?"
"Yasmine, have you left?"
"I''m not on the ne yet. Why?"
Her uncle''s voice sounded a little off. She could not help but feel slightly nervous.
"Your aunt passed out and we are on the way to the hospital."
"Passed out?" Yasmine was shocked and sprinted out of the airport in a hurry. "How could it be?
She was fine when I left just now, wasn''t she?"
"I don''t know either. After you left, she sat on the couch and talked to me for a while. Suddenly, she
felt heavy on her chest and fainted."
Sebastian caught up with Yasmine and grabbed hold of her. "Where are you going? We''re boarding
soon."
"Sebastian, I''m sorry but I can''t go back today. My aunt fainted at home all of a sudden. My uncle is
bringing her to the hospital now as we speak. You should go home first. I''ll head back after two
days!"
Sebastian was stunned. He sighed and said, "Then, I won''t leave too. Let''s go and have a look
together."
The two of them hurried to the hospital once more. When they saw Mindy lying on the bed with a
pale face, Yasmine''s heart suddenly ached. "Uncle, what did the doctor say?"
Chuck replied with bloodshot eyes, "The doctor said that her condition has gotten worse, and he is
afraid that she would not be able to make it through autumn."
Yasmine''s tears flowed out all of a sudden. Her mother had died of cancer. Although her aunt had
fought it for three years, she still couldn''t escape the fate of death.
"Uncle, please don''t be sad. The medical technology is advanced these days. The doctor could be
wrong." "The doctor said your aunt will be admitted to the hospital for treatment from now on. I have
to go to work. Your aunt will be alone..."
"I''ll take care of her."
Yasmine said with certainty.
Sebastian immediately spoke, "Why don''t we have her transferred to B City? You can follow us back
too so that it''ll be convenient for Yasmine to take care of her. I will have the best doctor to treat her
as well."
Chuck looked a little reluctant, but Yasmine felt that that would be a better solution. Unexpectedly,
her aunt, who had been unconscious the whole time, had woken up at that moment. She refused
Sebastian''s offer firmly. "I have no hope left. This is my hometown. My parents died on thisnd, so
I''d rather do the same."
"Aunt, if you go to B City, you will be able to have the best treatment. Could you bear to leave Uncle
alone in this world? As long as there''s a glimmer of hope, we can''t just give up."
Yasmine bent down to persuade Mindy.
Mindy seemed to have made up her mind. No matter how they tried to convince her, she still
refused to leave.
In the end, Yasmine said to Sebastian helplessly, "It''s fine if she doesn''t want to leave. You should
head back first. There are so many things that you have to deal with within thepany. You can''t
possibly be in F City all the time."
Sebastian was reluctant to part with Yasmine. "When will youe back then?" "I''ll go back once
my aunt''s condition is stable. In the meantime, I''ll try my best to change her mind and convince her
to move to B City."
At this point, there was no other way. Sebastian had no choice but to agree with her suggestion. He
said goodbye to Yasmine reluctantly and went back to B City by himself.
Sebastian became even busier with work after he went back this time, for the new products had
received excellent reviews. He had to travel to various countries for business trips, hence he did not
have much time to go back and forth between B City and F City. Even so, he had always kept in
contact with Yasmine.
Under his orders, Fynn Jaymond went to F City almost every week. Every time he went there, he
would bring a lot of nutritional supplements. He would greet Yasmine''s uncle on Sebastian''s behalf
and then report to Yasmine about Sebastian''s schedule. The days passed quickly. In the blink of an
eye, it was April, the month of the spring flowers blossoming.
On this day, Yasmine received a phone call from a top- tier hospital in F City, announcing that their
hospital had rolled out a new set of treatments for liver cancer. They offered to transfer her aunt to
their hospital.
At the moment, Yasmine was confused. Why would the hospital bother to call a patient personally?
Furthermore, they had called a patient who was not even registered with their hospital. She thought
it was incredible. She did not know that it was Sebastian who had arranged it all until Fynn arrived
that afternoon.
Mindy was transferred to the best hospital in F City and began to receive the most advanced
treatments. All of her medical expenses were borne by Sebastian.
With the doctor''s unrelenting efforts and her aunt''s strong desire to survive, Yasmine was very
happy to see Mindy''s condition improving gradually. However, she was even more delighted that on
the day of their third wedding anniversary, Sebastian had flown all the way from Dubai to be by her
side.
They had not seen each other for more than two months. Just like a newlywed couple, they kissed
each other passionately once they met.
"Didn''t you go abroad yesterday? Why did youe to F City today?"
Yasmine asked out of surprise and joy.
"I have toe back from wherever I am for such an important day. Even if I''m on the Moon, I''ll still
come back on a rocket."
She chuckled, "I haven''t seen you for a few months, and it seems that your sweet-talking skills have
improved."
Sebastian pinched her nose and pouted, "Why must you say that? I do mean it from the bottom of
my heart, okay?"
He looked toward the ward and asked, "How''s your aunt?"
"She''s having a much better appetite for the past two days. She did not look as pale as she was
before. Her condition seems to be getting better too."
"That''s great,"
Sebastian was d to hear that, "Shall I go inside and greet her?"
"She just fell asleep, let''s not disturb her rest."
Yasmine held his arm tightly, "Since you came back for our anniversary, do you have a gift for me?"
"What do you want?"
She thought for a moment and said, "It''s up to you. I''ll treasure anything thates from you."
Sebastian took out a tinum ne from his suit pocket slowly. The chain was brilliant and
dazzling. The pendant was the highlight of the whole ne. It had a small heart filled with
diamonds. Looking at it under the lights, it was shining so radiantly that it was almost blinding.
"Do you like it?"
Yasmine beamed, "Yes!"
"Come, I''ll put it on for you,"
Sebastian put the ne on Yasmine''s neck gently and said in admiration, "Beautiful."
Yasmine hugged his arm again and said coyly, "Me or the ne?"
Sebastian nced at her, "Both are beautiful."
He then stretched his hand out and said, "Hand it over."
"What?" She did not know what he meant.
"Since it''s our wedding anniversary, you should have prepared a gift for me too, right?" Yasmine
was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole to hide in. She did not know that Sebastian
woulde home in such short notice, thus she waspletely unprepared. She rolled her eyes,
tiptoed, and pecked him lightly on the cheek. "The most sincere gift of the century."
Sebastian was stunned for a moment, followed by a grumpy smile.
Although he did not say anything, he looked visibly satisfied with this gift.
At noon, they went to a restaurant to have lunch. He said to Yasmine, "You should eat more. It must
have been tough taking care of a patient. You''ve gotten so thin."
Yasmine shook her head as she drank a sip of soup. "It''s not tough at all. Perhaps I''ve been missing
you too much."
Humph!
Sebastian grinned again, "I''ll take you on a holiday when you''re done with this and your aunt''s
condition is stable."
Yasmine teased him on purpose. "Do you want Lily and Fynn to join us?"
"Just the two of us."
Sebastian eyed her dotingly as he spoke.
"Could it be all for nothing again? You do know that I''ve been heartbroken because I didn''t see the
diamond dust thatst time."
"Why are you still thinking about this?" Sebastian couldn''t believe it. "I''ve already asked Fynn to
check on it. There is no diamond dust like you said in Hokkaido''s mountains."
"Fynn is lying to you. He hasn''t seen it before. How could he know?"
"Well, have you? How could you be so sure there would be that kind of snow over there?"
"My ssmate has seen it,"
"Maybe your ssmate was lying to you too,"
Yasmine sighed. "If that''s the case, then just buy me a house in the vige under the Hokkaido
mountains. I''ll stay there every winter. I don''t believe that I wouldn''t be able to see it."
"Don''t even think about it."
"Why?"
"Because I don''t n to settle down at that kind of ce. Likewise, I do not wish to separate from
you."
Yasmine huffed at him grumpily and said, "What a chauvinist."
She then added, "By the way, could you please tell Fynn that he doesn''t need to bring so many
things over to visit my aunt next time?"
"Just tell me. What''s the point of telling him?"
"Oh, right, don''t let Fynne over next time with so many things. It''s a waste if she can''t finish it."
"Those are supplements, which are great for your aunt''s recovery."
"I know you want to please them, but you have already seeded. For the past few months, you''ve
arranged her to transfer to this hospital and have someone visit her regrly among other things.
You took good care of my aunt. She and my uncle didn''t say much, but in fact, they are very grateful
to you in their hearts."
Sebastian looked at her gently, "Do you think I did these just to please them?"
"What other reason is there then?"
"Of course I did it for you."
"For me?"
Yasmine was a little confused.
"I know very well that your uncle and aunt are your only rtives left in this world. I don''t want the
woman I love to lose her family, so I wish to protect them for you."
Yasmine did not say a word for a whole minute. She was deeply touched. She got up and ran to
Sebastian. She hugged him tightly and asked with tears in her eyes, "Why are you treating me so
well now?"
"A man should honor the words he says. I''ve said that I''ll be good to you, so I definitely will do it."
Sebastian''s schedule was very tight. He had to take the afternoon flight back to Dubai. Therefore,
as soon as lunch was over, he said goodbye to Yasmine, ready to head to the airport.
"Did youe all the way from Dubai just to have lunch with me?"
Yasmine grabbed his hand, reluctant to let him go.
"Well, you coulde with me if you are able to stop worrying about your aunt."
He knew that she was hesitant to part with him. After all, he shared the same feelings too.
"When will we meet again?"
"It''s all up to you. "I''m all yours now."
Yasmine let out a shy smile. "Aren''t you worried that Gabriel and I will have feelings for each other
after spending so much together for such a long time? We see each other quite frequently now. He
comes to visit my aunt every two to three days and takes me out for dinner most of the time."
"What''s the point of worrying? I can''t expect to take you wherever I go, can I? Even though I very
much want to."

"Well, I was kidding. Gabriel and I are good friends now."
"Of course I knew you were joking. Gabriel''s character is worthy of my trust."
"Well... does that mean I''m not worthy of your trust?"
"Hmm... I guess you are."
"What do you mean by that?"
Yasmine was displeased. "Tell me clearly, or don''t even think of leaving."
Sebastian chuckled, "Well, I trust you very much. Alright, I need to go now. If I don''t go to the airport
now, I might miss my flight."
"Well, do you want a farewell kiss?"
"Of course,"
They hugged each other tightly. After another exchange of passionate kisses, Yasmine whispered in
Sebastian''s ear, "I have a surprise for you the next time we meet."
