The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 112

"If I can go down the mountain by myself, then I won't come up here last night. If we have to go down the mountain, then we will go together, and if we have to wait, then we will wait together."

"Then don't keep talking. Just wait patiently."

Yasmine Taylor stared at the sky with unwavering determination. She believed that she could really witness the legendary Diamond Snow this time.

The morning passed by quickly. Sebastian Simons asked her dejectedly, "Aren't you hungry?"

Yasmine shook her head in disappointment. "I'm not hungry."

"No way, how could you be so disappointed just because you didn't get to see what you wanted to see?"

"Let's go back then."

She moved feebly towards the direction of the trail down the mountain. No one knew that not only did she feel a little sad, she was even more disappointed and depressed. She was disappointed because she didn't get to see the Diamond Snow. To her, it would mean that her relationship with Sebastian wouldn't last forever.

At this moment, even if it was just a legendary tale, it was the most beautiful belief that she had in her heart.

Tiffany Simons received a call from her brother, saying that he had found her sister-in-law. At this time, the whole family was finally relieved.

She remembered what Yasmine had said the other day. A woman could have no skills, but she must learn to be a good cook. As the popular saying went, "The way to a man's heart is through his

stomach." Therefore, Tiffany had made up her mind that she would get up at five o'clock every morning in order to learn how to cook breakfast from the servant.

She spent two consecutive mornings learning how to make a good breakfast. After that, she felt that it was too easy, so she began to learn how to cook dinner as well. After her first attempt at making dinner, she felt that she already knew how to cook properly. She then innocently went to Fynn Jaymond's apartment, while carrying a large bag of groceries, to cook for him.

She excitedly pressed the doorbell. After a while, the door was pushed open. It was a beautiful woman standing at the door Tiffany was stunned and asked, "Who are you?"

"Who are you looking for?"

The woman was obviously the lady of this family. She was dressed in casual clothes with an apron around her waist. Her charming eyes stared at the girl who was a few years younger than her.

"Where's my Brother Fynn?"

Tiffany questioned with a livid face.

"Fynn? He's taking a shower. What's the matter?"

"Who are you?" Tiffany couldn't hold on any longer. She felt like killing someone right now.

"I am his girlfriend, my name is Willow York. What about you?"

"Nonsense! I am Fynn's girlfriend!"

Tiffany suddenly went out of control, pushed Willow aside, and then threw the bag of groceries at her.

Fynn appeared in a flash and hurriedly rushed towards Willow. Fie shielded her from Tiffany and scolded angrily, "Tiffany, what are you doing? You're so rude!"

"Fynn, tell me. She lied to me, didn't she?"

"What did she lie to you about?"

"She said that she is your girlfriend. She is lying to me, isn't she?"

Fynn was a little embarrassed. Fie sighed softly and said, "Tiffany, she didn't lie to you. We have been dating for two years."

Two years. Just when she heard what Fynn had said, Tiffany felt that her head was extremely dizzy and at that instant, she thought that she was the stupidest fool in the world. "That's impossible, absolutely impossible..."

She staggered backwards and muttered, "It's absolutely impossible... I don't believe it..."

"Tiffany."

Fynn was a little sad. Fie wanted to go forward to comfort her, but she shook off his hand and ran away.

In every young girl's heart, there was a beautiful castle where her beloved prince would live. However, if one day, the prince suddenly said to her, "The princess at this castle is not you", what would she do? Would the girl feel that her castle had collapsed? That her dream had shattered? Or perhaps, would she feel utter sadness that would lead her to feel that life was no longer worth living for?

At this moment, that was how Tiffany was feeling. Everyone in the world knew that she fancied Fynn. She had always thought that the one Fynn had in his heart was her, but at that moment,

everything had changed. Her castle had collapsed, her dream had been crushed, and her heart had also been broken.

"Tiffany, stop, stop right there!"

Fynn chased after her and grabbed her. He said while panting, "I'm sorry if I made you sad. But you're still young and you still don't understand anything about love. Wait till..."

"I've already said that I'm not a kid anymore. Don't you know that I've liked you for a long time?"

Tiffany cried as she questioned him.

"I know."

"If you knew it then why you did you date another woman without letting me know? Have you not liked me?"

After thinking for a while, Fynn knew that the truth would definitely be revealed one day, it was just a matter of time. Hence, he decided not to hide anything from her anymore. "Tiffany, I like you, but not in a romantic way. What we have between us is just the affection between brothers and sisters."

His words were like a bomb that had blown up her imaginary bright future. How would she be able to accept it? She had always thought that the person she liked, had liked her back, but it turned out that he had only treated her as his little sister.

"Fynn, you are lying to me, right? It shouldn't be this way. We get along so well. How can you only see me as your sister? I know that you must be lying to me. I know that you are just worried about the great disparity in our social statuses, but it wouldn't matter. I don't mind it at all and I have never minded it. I don't mind that you are an orphan. I will be your family and your only family. I will love you and spend the rest of my life with you. Fynn, don't push me away like this. Please don't be so cruel to me, okay?"

Tiffany had never been so sad and desperate in her lifetime. Fynn was very distressed, but he couldn't bear to lie to her anymore. "Tiffany, calm down and listen to me. It's not because I'm an orphan that I don't accept you. It's because I love Willow. I really love her."

"That's enough, I don't want to listen to it anymore, I don't want to!"

She covered her ears, turned around and rushed into the vast night. At this very moment, the beautiful fairy tale in her heart had finally shattered.

Looking at her figure which was gradually diminishing from his sight, Fynn felt an unspeakable pain in his heart. In the past few years, how could he not realize Tiffany's love for him? But for some reason, he couldn't bring himself to tell her that he had a girlfriend. It was because he had promised Sebastian that he would not reveal his relationship or even get married before Tiffany turned 25.

When he returned home, he saw Willow sitting on the sofa with a serious look on her face. "What's the matter with that girl?"

"She is Sebastian's sister. She had always thought that I liked her."

"Did you lead her on?"

"It's not that I had led her on, but I just couldn't bring myself to tell her."

"Why?"

He sighed and said, "There are some things you don't need to know."

Willow got up and walked up towards him. She reached out, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said, "Fynn, the Simons family is very rich. Will you abandon me because of this?"

"What are you talking about? I'm not that kind of person."

Fynn kissed her forehead and said, "Well, you can go back now. I need some time alone."

Willow took a good look at him. Although she really wanted to stay, she was a smart woman. She knew what's the right thing to do, so she silently picked up her bag and left his apartment.

Once Willow had left, Fynn immediately called Sebastian. "President Sebastian, Tiffany found out about my relationship with Willow."

Sebastian's heart tightened and he growled angrily, "What's wrong with you? Why did you let her know?"

"She abruptly came to my house and I was taking a shower at that time, so it was Willow who went to answer the door."

"Okay, I see. I'll go back tomorrow!"

As he hung up the phone, Yasmine saw his anxious face and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Tiffany already knows that Fynn has a girlfriend."

"Fynn has a girlfriend?"

Yasmine was shocked.

"Yes."

"Flow can this be?" Yasmine slammed her spoon on the table out of anger. "If he had a girlfriend, he shouldn't have played with Tiffany's feelings. Tiffany has always thought that the person he loves was her. The reason that she didn't make it clear to him was because there is a great disparity in the social statuses of the two families."

"It's not Fynn's fault. It was I who asked him to keep it a secret."

"Why?"

Yasmine was even more puzzled.

"Because Tiffany..."

"What happened to Tiffany?"

An ominous feeling suddenly flashed through Yasmine's heart.

"Tiffany has a tumor in her brain. It was discovered when she was only four years old. Because it was too small and it's in a vital spot of the brain, so the doctor said that there was no way to remove it surgically until she reaches adulthood. He said that 25 would be the best age to operate on her. Before that, she can't be emotionally stimulated, otherwise, the blood flow in her brain would surge and that would be life-threatening for her."

Yasmine couldn't believe her own ears and what she had just heard. She was stunned for a long time before she asked again, "You said that Tiffany has a brain tumor?"

"Yes."

Sebastian nodded, his face filled with pain.

"Does she know it herself?"

"She doesn't. We were afraid the truth would add burden to her emotionally, so we had decided not to tell her."

It was only then that Yasmine recalled Tiffany often complaining about having headaches. Every time she had a headache, she would take some white pills. When Yasmine asked her about it,

Tiffany was puzzled too. She said that she might have been hit by a car when she was a child which had caused some sequelae on her body.

Now that she knew about the truth, Yasmine felt very sad and distressed for the playful Tiffany who was always smiling and joking around every day.

"So you have asked Fynn to hide his relationship from her until she turns 25 years old, and he can only tell her the truth after she had recovered from the surgery?"

"Yes." "So does Mom know about this? About Tiffany having a crush on Fynn?"

"Yes."

Yasmine's eyes were suddenly filled with tears. She got up and said, "Let's go back now." When she thought that everyone had known the truth, and only Tiffany herself was being kept in the dark, she felt so distressed that she wanted to cry.

"There's no more flight back home now. We can only leave tomorrow." Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"But..."

"It would be okay. Mom will definitely comfort her. Since the situation had turned out like that, it seems that the operation will be ahead of schedule."

"Can't we go ahead of schedule?"

"The risk will be greater if we move ahead of schedule."

"Why must she wait until she is 25 years old? Isn't it better to remove the tumor as soon as possible?"

"It's different for her case. She has a rare tumor. The size of the tumor must not be too big or too small when she goes for the surgery. It must be removed at the stage of its maturity in order to ensure her safety during the procedure."

That night, Black Wolf held a farewell dinner for them. Yasmine was in a bad mood so she didn't want to attend the dinner, but Sebastian insisted. On the way to the banquet, she stared at the passers-by through the window, and an inexplicable sadness started to spread in her heart.

Tiffany Simons loved Fynn Jaymond, Lily Adams loved Scott Jules, and she herself loved Sebastian Simons, but Sebastian loved Abigail Tanner. Love was just to hard for each and every one of them.

Responsibility and friendship were like a mountain pressing down on their hearts, making them catch for their breaths.

After attending the farewell dinner, Yasmine soaked herself in the hot spring and did not come out for a long time until the owner of the hotel came over and called her, "Miss, your husband had summoned me to ask you to return to your room."

After getting out of the hot spring, she put on her clothes and went back to the room where she and Sebastian were staying in.

"Why did you call me?"

She was absent-mindedly wiping the water droplets on her head with a dry towel.

"Someone called you."

Sebastian's tone was cold but she did not think any further. She asked casually, "Who is it?"

"Ethan Zordon."

Her relaxed body immediately tensed up. She glanced at Sebastian and asked, "How do you know that it's him?"

"I answered the phone."

Yasmine tried her best to remain calm. "Oh, what did he say?"

"Before telling you what he had said, shouldn't you tell me how did you know him? Or, when did you meet each other?"
