The Seventh Miserable Bride

"Shall we call the police?"

Fynn Jaymond asked Sebastian Simons for his opinion with a solemn face.

He thought for a moment and shook his head. "I can't wait any longer. Let's check the vehicle owner's information first."

The information of the owner of the vehicle was immediately ascertained. It was an unemployed vagrant named Tommy. Sebastian arrived at Tommy's house with Fynn and the other companions. At noon, Tommy was holding a bottle of white wine and chewing on some almonds in his mouth. He was leisurely watching a TV drama, from time to time he laughed exaggeratedly.

With a snap, a sharp dagger was thrown in front of him. He slowly raised his head and saw a group of people standing in front of him. He was shocked and stammered, "Sir, what's the matter?"

Sebastian stepped forward insidiously and asked him word by word, "Tell me, where is the woman you abducted last night?"

He was stunned. "A woman? What woman?"

"How dare you pretend?" Fynn took out his dagger and said to Sebastian, "President Sebastian, don't waste your time talking with such a person. Just bash him up."

Upon hearing that, Tommy freaked out and begged for mercy at that instant, "Sir, please don't. I am an honest man. I won't do anything that breaks the law. I really don't know where the woman you are talking about is."

"It seems that you don't know how painful it feels until you have experienced it."

Sebastian signaled to the people behind him, "Hold his hand down and chop two fingers off first."

Tommy's legs went limp and he fell onto the ground, but he was dragged up by Fynn. Fynn pressed his hand on the table and before the knife landed on his hand, he cried and screamed, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you, I'll tell you..."

"You should have done this earlier."

Fynn let go of him, and Tommy confessed with a trembling body, "Last night, the woman was kidnapped by the people of the Snake Mafia and she was brought to the abandoned building not too far away from the Fourth Mile River in the north of the city."

"Why did they kidnap her?"

"I'm not too sure about that. I'm just a driver. I really don't know anything else. But it seems that someone had hired them. I kind of saw two women when I left the scene. One of the women is older, and the other is younger."

"Get to the north of the city right now."

Sebastian turned around and walked out. Tommy shouted at him, "Sir, please don't tell them that I was the one who gave out the information. Otherwise, the people of the Snake Mafia will kill me..." When they arrived at the abandoned building at the north side of the city, Sebastian took the lead and entered the building. Fynn followed him closely behind him. He looked around, but did not see any traces of Yasmine Taylor. When he was anxious about not finding any clue, a sharp-eyed bodyguard pointed to the ground and said, "President Sebastian, there are blood traces here."

Sebastian looked in the direction that the bodyguard's finger was pointed at and his face immediately turned pale. He instantly shouted, "Yasmine, Yasmine, Yasmine, where are you?"

Everyone started to look for her as they called out to her, "Madam. Madam..."

In that pitch black room, Yasmine thought that she was close to death for a few times, but every time when she thought that she couldn't hold on any longer, she would hear her mother's whisper in her ears, "Little Yasmine, don't sleep, don't sleep. Those who persecute us are still out there with impunity. You must hold on. One day, you will let them pay the price that they deserve."

"Yasmine... Yasmine... Yasmine..."

In the haze, she seemed to had heard Sebastian's voice calling out to her, so she supported her body and slowly crawled on the ground. There was only a glimmer of light beaming through door gap. That glimmer of light was Yasmine's only hope now. She could not let herself die here. Even if it meant that she had to use up all of her energy, she had to let Sebastian know that she was here.

Her hard work paid off. Although her body was in pain with the every step she took, she managed to crawl to the door and shook it with her last remaining strength. The people who were looking for her suddenly heard the sound and hurried over. They looked through the door crack and cried in surprise, "Here, Madam is here!"

Upon hearing that they had found Yasmine, everyone rushed over to the dark room. They took out tools from the car and smashed the lock that was on the door. Sebastian was the first to rush in. In the next second, he suddenly pressed his hand against his chest and slowly knelt on the ground. He picked Yasmine up and shouted hysterically, "Who is it? Who tortured you like this?" His heart was in so much pain that he couldn't even breathe. His Yasmine was beaten up so badly that her skin was torn open and her flesh was exposed. It was so horrible and it was hard to look at. Yasmine lay weakly in his arms. She moved her lips and wanted to say something, but she couldn't. Two drops of tears dripped down from the corner of her eyes and onto his palm. "Sebastian..." Sebastian hugged her tightly and put his ears close to her mouth. "Yasmine, tell me, I'll listening, I'll listening."

"I'm in pain..."

Yasmine finally managed to say three words, but it was these three words that made Sebastian's heart break. He suddenly lost control and burst into tears. "Yasmine, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry that I didn't protect you and let them have the opportunity to beat you up like this! They even locked you up in this pitch black room where you can't even see your Sebastian cried in grief. This was the first time in 30 years that he had cried in front of the others and shed tears for a woman.

"My Yasmine, I can't imagine the pain... the despair... the fear... the helplessness that you were suffering now..."

Sebastian shouted hysterically. It was not until this moment that he had finally understood what was real heartache.

Real heartache was when he could not share the pain for his most beloved person who had been tortured to the extent that her body was completely covered in bloody wounds.

Fynn's tears were rolling down his face too. He had been by Sebastian's side for so many years, but he had never seen him break down like this. Sebastian was so distressed, and everyone was crying. Even if he looked strong on the outside, but on the inside he had a soft heart like any other ordinary people.

"President Sebastian, come on. We should send her to the hospital immediately. Her injuries are quite critical."

When Fynn came forward to remind him of this, Sebastian came back to his senses. He picked Yasmine up and rushed to the car that was parked outside. "Hurry up, drive!"

Fynn quickly started the engine and drove towards the city centre. Halfway through, he could see from the rear mirror that Sebastian's tears were still falling from the corners of his eyes. He couldn't help but to think that this time, Sebastian had really fallen in love with Yasmine.

Just like what was said in a book, a woman cried because she gave up. A man cried because he really loved her.

"Yasmine, hold on. We'll be there soon. It won't hurt any more."

Sebastian kissed Yasmine's forehead repeatedly, with tears dripping on her cheek. Although Yasmine was unconscious, she could clearly feel Sebastian's warm tears. Although she could not speak, she comforted him in her heart, "Don't be sad. I'm fine. You, Sebastian, you are like me, who will never lose. You won't fall just like this."

When they arrived at the hospital, Yasmine was pushed into the emergency room. The doctor was horrified to see the wounds on her body. How vicious that person must have been to do such vile things.

Sebastian smoked one cigarette after another, as if this was the only way that could ease his heart. Fynn came forward to stop him and said, "President Sebastian, your body hasn't recovered yet. You shouldn't smoke so much, Madam will be fine."

"Please find out the information that I have asked you about as soon as possible."

Sebastian's eyes were full of coldness. When he thought of the wounds on Yasmine's body, he really wanted to tear the culprit into pieces immediately if he could.

"Okay, I'll go check it out right now."

Shortly after Fynn left, the doctor came out from the emergency room. He hurried forward and asked urgently, "How's my wife?"

"I've cleaned up the wounds. Her external injuries are fine. It's just that her mental trauma would need some time to recover." "What mental trauma?"

"Does the patient have claustrophobia?"

"Yes."

"That's right. She has suffered from a serious psychological injury. She must have been humiliated or mentally abused by someone she had hated for a long period of time."

Sebastian's hands slowly clenched into fists. He asked in a trembling voice, "When can I see her?"

"This depends on the patient's recovery state. You can visit her once she regains her consciousness."

"Okay."

Yasmine had been in a coma for a day and a night. While he was waiting for Yasmine to regain her consciouness, Sebastian finally understood the meaning behind Yasmine's words the other day. "Do you know how afraid I am these days? I am afraid that you will never wake up again. I am afraid that you will leave me just like this..."

Now, he was also afraid that Yasmine would leave him, just like how Abigail did.

It was not until late in the evening that the people at the Mansion House were informed that Yasmine had been warded in hospital. Madam Simons had just let out a sigh of relief because of her son's recovery, and now she was suddenly hit by the news that Yasmine had been kidnapped and was now being warded at the hospital. She couldn't accept it for a moment and fainted.

When she woke up, Madam Simons cried and wanted to see her daughter-in-law. Titus Simons comforted her and said, "Don't be sad. Our daughter-in-law is fine now. This family is already in a mess. Do you want to add on any more trouble?"

What he meant was that she shouldn't have been so anxious that she fainted because it would make the others worry for her.

The next morning, Fynn came to the hospital. He glanced at Yasmine, who was still lying unconscious on the bed, and he said to Sebastian, "President Sebastian, I have brought a person with me. He knows about everything that had happened to your wife."

"Bring him in."

Sebastian held Yasmine's hand, he looked haggard as if he had aged a lot over the night.

Fynn shouted at the door, "Please come in."

The person who came in was Chuck Lorris. When he saw his niece lying on the bed, he rushed forward and cried sadly. Sebastian frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

Chuck choked from his tears and introduced himself, "I'm Yasmine's uncle. My name is Chuck Lorris."
