The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 147

"Can't I go to you after I finish these?" she asked.

"You won't be able to find me because I move around a lot. Even though I'm here today, I don't know where I will be tomorrow."

The old man packed the medicine up for her, then took out a blank piece of paper and wrote a list on it. Yasmine took it and read through the list. "15 grams of foxglove, 15 grams of angelica, 15 grams of ligustrum, 15 grams of lotus seeds, 15 grams of wolfberries, 10 grams of ginseng, 12 grams of Schisandra , 12 grams of Yellow Essence..."

"Thank you."

She raised her head and said, "And if I get pregnant in the future, how can I thank you?"

The old man smiled and said, "That's not necessary. I have set up a stall on Mount Emperor for three days, but you have been my only customer. If you take my medicine and it works in the future, all you need to do is spread the word that there is a seventy-two-year-old doctor with excellent medical skills."

Yasmine believed the old man. If she had not been so desperate today, she would not have believed a doctor who had no scientific basis and promised to cure a hundred diseases.

She took all the money out of her wallet and handed it to him. "Okay, if I really have a child, I will remember your kindness." Yasmine said goodbye to the old man and was ready to leave the mountain, content in the hope that taking the old man's medicine would instantly get her pregnant. She couldn't help but get very excited. As a result, she was absent-minded and fell into a pit. She screamed as she fell to the ground.

Rubbing her sore feet, she supported herself and stood up, but realised that she could not stand up no matter how hard she tried. She was annoyed as she took out her mobile phone and dialed Sebastian's number.

"Honey, are you busy?"

Sebastian was surprised at her call. He said gently, "I'm not busy. What's the matter?"

"Can you come to Mount Emperor?"

"Mount Emperor? What am I going to do there?"

"I came here for a walk, but I accidentally sprained my ankle."

As soon as he heard about the sprained foot, Sebastian immediately said, "Okay, you stay there and don't move. I'll go there right away."

"Well, okay..."

Less than an hour after ending the call, Sebastian arrived. Yasmine was still sitting on the ground at that time, fiddling with the weeds beside her with her head down.

"How's it? Let me have a look."

He nervously lifted her injured foot. Yasmine grimaced in pain and said, "Be gentle. It hurts."

"I'm sorry, I was too impatient." "It's the ankle. Maybe it's sprained."

"Come on. I'll carry you off the mountain."

Sebastian squatted down, grabbed Yasmine's arm, and helped her onto his back. Then, he used some strength to carry her.

"What were you doing here?"

Sebastian asked in confusion.

"I just felt like a walk. I've been a little depressed recently."

"Don't tell me that you're still worried about Abigail?" "No,"

Yasmine denied in a low voice.

"Don't go out alone next time. There are so many people in the house, so just bring a couple with you next time in case you twist your ankle like this again."

"Wouldn't that mean that you won't have the chance to carry me on your back anymore?"

Sebastian smiled grumpily. He replied, "If you want me to carry you on my back, just say so and I'll carry you from the southern side to the northern side of the city, but you can't hurt your foot. Don't you know that my heart aches when that happens?"

"I wanted your heart to ache."

She said this in a mischievous tone.

"I'm hungry."

Sebastian stopped and looked around him. "There's nothing to eat here. Hold on for a while. Let's leave the mountain, and I'll take you for some delicious "I don't want to eat anything delicious. I want to eat that."

Looking in the direction where she was pointing, Sebastian's eyeballs almost fell out. "Bingtanghulu?"

"Yes! That candy stick!"

He sighed and said, "Why is an adult eating candy? Only children like to eat that... Besides that, I'm carrying you now. People might think that you are my daughter."

Yasmine's body suddenly stiffened, and she said in a dejected tone, "Then I won't eat it."

Sebastian unintentionally hit her right where it hurt. The truth was that she really wanted to give him a son or a daughter.

"Boss, two of these, please."

She didn't realize when Sebastian had approached the vendor. After paying, he put the packet into Yasmine's hand and said, "Eat it." Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Why did you buy so many?"

"So that you can eat to your heart's content."

A layer of mist covered Yasmine's eyes as she took a bite. It tasted sweet, and her tears rolled down her cheeks.

The weather was getting warmer and warmer. Sebastian was wearing only a shirt and he felt cool liquid on his back. He asked in surprise, "Didn't I already buy the candy for you? So why are you still crying?"

"Because it's too delicious." Sebastian was speechless. He set her down on a nearby stone and sat down. He asked out of confusion, "Are you crying just because it's delicious? Why do you cry so easily now?"

"You don't know what these mean to me."

"What do you mean?"

"When I was a child, my mother took me to Mount Emperor once. I was very hungry at noon, so she bought me Bingtanghulu with the only dollar she had. I knew that my mother was also very hungry, so I wanted to share it with her, but she didn't want it. So I stopped eating unless she ate with me. When the sun was about to melt the sugar, she finally gave in and ate it. It was the first time I ever saw my mother surrender. I was happy for a whole week. Until now, I still cannot forget her doting eyes as she said, "No parent can win in front of their own child."

After hearing what Yasmine said, Sebastian smiled and reached out a hand with the same doting eyes. He touched her forehead and said, " Yasmine, you instigated both love and hate when you were young."

Yasmine also smiled and handed him the other packet of cotton candy. "Here you go."

Sebastian looked around with embarrassment and whispered, "I don't have to eat that. A man like me squatting here while eating this... If the paparazzi saw this, it will definitely be B City's headline tomorrow."

"It's okay. Why would the paparazzi come to this barren mountain? We can't even find a single dog here. Let's eat."

"There are no dogs but so many people. Look, there are so many hawkers next to us. It's really embarrassing."

Yasmine raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you want me to threaten you the way I threatened my mom?"

Looking at the sugar crusting over her mouth, Sebastian touched his forehead and sighed, "You defeated me."

He took the packet and tore the bag apart, eating the candy quickly. If it weren't for the fact that it was troublesome on account of the stick, he would have eaten all of in one bite. That way, eating this in broad daylight wouldn't be so shameful.

"Go and buy me that."

Yasmine pointed, and Sebastian almost choked to death with his mouthful of sugary goodness. "What do you want me to buy?"

"Just that."

Yasmine pointed at a small jewellery stall less than five metres away from her and said, "I saw a couple buying couple bracelets there just now. I want one too."

Sebastian frowned and pleaded, "...Can you forgive me? I'm the president of a big company and you want me to buy it from a small hawker. Do you want me to become a joke all over the country?"

"Are you going to buy it or not?"

Yasmine pretended to stand up. "If you don't buy it, I'll climb over and buy it myself." Sebastian reached out his hand and touched her forehead. "You don't have a fever today, do you?"

"You are the one with a fever."

She swatted his hand away and was happy to make things difficult for Sebastian.

"Honey, stop messing around. I'll buy a carriage full of jewellery for you later. We don't need cheap goods like this, okay?"

"I want only that."

Yasmine seemed to be arguing with him. Sebastian let out a long sigh of relief and said painfully, "Okay, I'll go and buy it."

"Wait a minute."

"What's the matter now?"

"Carry me there, and I'll pick one by myself."

Sebastian carried Yasmine over helplessly. Her eyes shone brilliantly as she hand-picked a bracelet. In fact, it was just a string made of several threads.

"Come on, I'll put it on for you."

Sebastian shook his head in horror. "I don't want it."

"Just give me your hand."

Yasmine forcibly pulled one of his hands over, and then put the Men's bracelet on his hand. She solemnly warned him, "Don't take it off."

Sebastian was going crazy. He went close to her ear and said, "Now can we leave the mountain, madam?"

"Okay, let's go."

Yasmine nodded with satisfaction and lay against Sebastian's back.

"Today, you really challenged me."

Sebastian turned his eyes slightly towards Yasmine and said, "Tanghulu and cheap goods? Oh my god, I'm going crazy".

Yasmine chuckled and said, "Actually, this is how ordinary people date. You just couldn't accept it because your life has been too comfortable."

"Do you like it this way?"

"I like it. The way ordinary people date gives you a warm and unforgettable feel. You might think it's very embarrassing today, but I feel very happy. Think about it, will you still remember the candlelit dinner or the jewelry store decades from now? You won't remember, right? You won't remember it, but today is different. No matter how long it's been, Sebastian Simons will never forget the candy we ate on Mount Emperor today, and the couple's bracelets that we are wearing now and that cost us eight dollars and five cents."

"Well, it makes sense, but can you not mention the eight dollars and five cents?"

"Why not?"

"When you say eight dollars and five cents, I really want to die."

"Haha..." Yasmine couldn't help but laugh out loud. Today's trip to Mount Emperor wasn't in vain. Even if the doctor who promised to cure her infertility was lying to her, she still thought it was worth it, because at this moment, she had forgotten all the unpleasant things that had happened and she felt true happiness. "Shall we go back?"

"Aren't we already on our way back?"

"No, I mean, go back to the mountain."

Sebastian staggered and almost fell to the ground. He stabilised himself and asked in shock, "Are you kidding? We're already halfway down the mountain."

"I'm serious."

Yasmine nodded seriously.

"Why? The sun is setting, so why are we going back?"

"I'm not looking for the sun. I just want to stand at the top of the mountain and release the depression in my heart."

"Can you stand now?"

"You can carry me on your back. From now on, Sebastian, you are my legs. Didn't you say that I can rely on you at any moment?" She batted her eyes at him.

Sebastian was completely speechless. He turned his body and said, "Well, I'll be your coachman for a day even if I need to go to the top of the mountain or the bottom of the sea."

They went back to the mountain again and found a quiet place. Sebastian put Yasmine down, gasped, and said, "You look so skinny, so why are you so heavy on my back?"

"It's because I'm full of wisdom."

Sebastian sneered and said, "It's the first time I've seen such a wise person." Yasmine stared at the clouds in the distance and said slowly, "Am I very tall and strong now?"

Sebastian took a deep breath of the quiet mountain air and replied, "A person on a high mountain doesn't reveal his own height, but it is the cliff he conquered that made him taller. If he conquered an inch, he is an inch taller. His past journey has determined his current height. You can't stop time, it will slip from your fingertips. But you can keep something under your feet and turn it into your height."

"That's so profound. I didn't understand it at all."

"This is what Professor George said to us when he took us to climb the Five Sacred Mountains."

"Professor George? You mean Old Mr. George?"

"Yes."

"What else did he say?" Yasmine asked with interest.

"He also said..." Sebastian paused for a moment. "When you forget your past, satisfy yourself with your present, and ignore your future, you stand at the highest point of your life. When success does not make you get excited, failure doesn't disappoint you, and if blandness does not overwhelm you, you stand at the highest point of your life. When you think of the past with a smile, looked forward with hope, looked down with a generous heart, and looked up with a calm heart, you stand at the highest point of your soul."

Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!

Yasmine clapped her hands and said with emotion, "Old Mr. George is indeed an influential person. He speaks grandly and exquisitely, which is why people prefer listening to him than reading books."

"That's right. That's why I've always respected him."

"Dear, can you take me to see Old Mr. George next time and let him give me some psychological guidance?"

Sebastian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you need psychological guidance?"

"I have a psychological problem."

"What's the problem? Is it perverted?"

Yasmine suddenly opened her eyes wide and pushed him playfully. "God, what are you talking about? What you just said can fully prove that you are an abnormal person."

The two of them started playing around. Sebastian hugged her from behind and said, "Well, stop it. The terrain here is steep. I don't want to be responsible for you falling down."

"If I fall down, I'll use you as a cushion."

Yasmine leaned into his arms and closed her eyes. She did not think about the things that trouble her. The dark clouds over her head seemed to be embedded with gold as they thinned.
