Chapter 8: This might hurt a little, please be patient
Although he didn’t say anything, Roxane knew what he was thinking. Now that he had already fulfilled his part of the deal, it was time for her to fulfill her part of the deal, which was to save her sister.
Roxane pursed her lips before asking:
– Can you all leave the room for a moment?
Sebastian’s eyes flickered as he looked at her. However, he didn’t say anything and turned to leave the room after a moment of silence.
Although the eyes of those in the room were filled with disbelief that Sebastien had acquiesced to Roxane’s request, no one dared to question him. They obediently followed him out of the room.
Roxane looked at the girl lying on the bed. Her hair was long and black, her face was pale, and her facial features were delicate. She looked like Sleeping Beauty.
Finally, Roxane headed towards the bedside. Although she knew Christine was unlikely to feel pain, she held her hand and said apologetically:
– Miss Flores, I am sorry. It might hurt a little, so you’ll have to put up with it for a while.
…
Outside the room.
Sebastien stood with his back to the door of the room. His dark eyes were deep and his expression was cold and tense. The hands he placed on his back were clenched tightly into fists.
At this moment, Patrice, Sebastien’s assistant, finally asked with concern:
– President Flores, is she really capable?
After all, even famous doctors were powerless. How could an ordinary university student save Christine Flores?
Sebastien looked at Patrice. Instead of answering, he said meaningfully:Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
– I remember that there is a surveillance camera in the room.
– That’s right. At that time, I was worried that the nurses were not taking good care of young Miss, so I had the surveillance camera installed, Patrice said as he took out his phone to open the surveillance software on his phone. Then, he handed his phone to Sebastien.
Sebastien looked down and saw the young girl pick up a needle before inserting it into her sister’s middle finger.
Patrice, who also saw this, exclaimed as his expression changed drastically:
– President Flores, she is trying to harm young Miss.
Patrice immediately turned around, intending to enter the room, but he was stopped by an icy voice.
– Stop.
Patrice looked at Sebastien anxiously as he hesitantly said:
– President Flores…
…
15 minutes later.
The door to the room was opened.
Roxane looked up and saw the man standing at the door. There was no expression on his face, but his gaze was piercing as he scanned Christine quickly.
Patrice, who was standing nearby, saw that Christine was still unconscious as before and frowned. Then he asked:
– Miss Alvarez, why is Miss Flores still unconscious?
Patrice’s tone was skeptical. It was as if he were accusing Roxane of being an imposter.
Roxane did not respond to Patrice. Instead, she looked at Sebastien, who was also looking at her skeptically, before softly saying:
– Miss Flores will wake up soon.
– How long ?
Sebastien’s voice was icy.
Roxane thought about it for a moment before answering:
– A week at most.
She thought that if she remembered correctly, Christine would regain consciousness in about three to four days. She only said one week to allow room for error.
Sebastien no longer questioned Roxane. Instead, he turned to Patrice and said:
-Send Miss Alvarez away.
– It’s not necessary, declared Roxane,
– I have classes today. There’s a metro station near here anyway.
The driver was driving a black Bentley. If she was driven to school in this car, she was afraid that she would become famous at school in less than an hour.
Sebastien did not insist. When Roxane turned to leave, he suddenly shouted:
– Wait a minute.
She turned to look at him with confusion in her eyes.
-Is there anything else, Mr. Flores?
Sebastien did not respond immediately. Instead, he looked at Patrice meaningfully.
Patrice understood Sebastien’s meaning and immediately left the room.
Now that it was just them in the room, Sebastien asked bluntly:
– How do you know about Christine?
Roxane looked away as her eyes glowed faintly. Her mind worked quickly and she said:
– I naturally heard it from my brother.
– Is it true?
Sebastien said without emotion as he pronounced each word:
– I never talked to Enzo about it.
Apart from members of the Flores family, no one knew what had happened to Christine.
Roxane:!!!
Roxane thought, ‘Can someone send help?’
