Tame Me My Brother -in-Law Chapter 17
“S–Sebastian…?” I was surprised to see him arrived here. And he was casting
terrible glares at the girls who were getting ready to flee out of terror. I wasn’t
expecting him to save me. I don’t want him to save me from anyone.
But he did…
“Get lost!” he shouted to the girls and they were so scared that they
immediately ran away.
He took a deep sigh before he turned his attention to me which caused me
to stop dead in my tracks. As I lay there on the frigid ground, my body was
trembling, and my lips were quivering as well because of the cold rain.
I ran the back of my hand over my face, brushing away the rain water. I
made a conscious effort not to concentrate about what my face looked like
at this very moment because I don’t really care with how he finds me right

now.

“Are you okay?” he asked, but there was no indication of concern in his voice.
I scowled and sat slowly up, dragging my skirt down over my thighs to cover
them. I bit my bottom lip as I stared at him, shaking my head, indicating that I
wasn’t okay.
But he just scoffed before he spat cold words that made my heart stop from
beating. “You’re the one who brought this to yourself! You deserved it!”
The bone–chilling coldness penetrated into my bones, but I smiled at him
casually. I didn’t know why his words stung like alcohol on a fresh wound. My
mind felt heavy with stress and I could nearly feel my hair strands
accelerating into grayness.
Did I deserve to be thrashed? To be treated and suffer pain like this?
However… because I chose to do this, I didn’t have the right to complain
about it.

Perhaps, people in the whole of New York City would hurl those words at me
now. Bedraggled, I raised my gaze and looked up at him.

My voice was crisp as I spit back the words from my mouth. “Well then, thank
you… my dear brother–in–law!”
The man’s eyes narrowed and his lips curved into a smirk as he lifted his
hand to brush a few strands of the damp hair that was covering my face.
“Did you just call me… your brother–in–law?” the man asked incredulously.
I was momentarily paralyzed by the thought that perhaps I shouldn’t refer to
him in that manner. “Oh, I’m so sorry… I had completely forgotten that my
own father had already disowned me. You are not, in point of fact, my
brother–in–law.”
My eyes weren’t blinking as I glared at him. I stood up from the ground and
started leaving, but I was nauseous and right before I had any minute to
reach for my head which was spinning at the moment, I collapsed.
But before I could feel my body hit the ground, I was caught by two strong

arms. And just as darkness was about to fall upon me, I heard him say,
“Hospital, hurry up!”

My eyes flickered open, and as I tried to figure out where I was, I observed
that the room was completely white. I saw a nurse conducting a procedure
to check my blood pressure and when she noticed that I was already awake,
she broke into a warm smile.
“Where am I?” my voice was hoarse as I inquired despite the fact that I was
already aware I was in a medical facility.
“You’re in Anderson Hospital…” she responded as she removed the blood
pressure cuff around my arm. I had no idea that Sebastian ran a huge
hospital. What can I say? I should’ve known better than to anticipate that my
sister would wed a man with a low status. “Mr. Sebatian Anderson brought
you here and ordered me to treat you well…” She continued, causing me to
scowl in bewilderment.

I thought he hates me. Why did he even want them to treat me well? I was
lost in a deep thought, thinking what would I tell Sebastian when I see him
again, but I was interrupted by the sound of a phone ringing in the room.

“Is that my phone?” I asked the nurse and she nodded before reaching into
her pocket, pulling out my phone, and handing it to me..
My lips formed into a thin line when I saw Dr. Henry’s name on the screen of
my phone. “Hello, Dr. Henry?” I greeted in a weak voice.
When the doctor on the other end of the line began to speak, the first few
things that he uttered were incomprehensible to me until he added, “Your
mom, she’s gone. I’m very sorry…”
My hand came dangerously close to letting go of the phone. I had the
sensation that my heart had suddenly stopped pounding, and the lump in
my throat caused pain in my throat. It seemed as though everything around
me was disintegrating into bits, and I was being suffocated by the ensuing
darkness. I refused to believe it and shook my head, my eyes welling up with
tears. I refused to believe what he said.

This couldn’t just happen in a blink of an eye. Maybe I’ve heard him wrong. I
haven’t lost my mom. I haven’t!
I felt that the world around me was spinning, and the tears that I’d been
fighting back since this morning in the conference room finally started
streaming down my face.
Had I hold her or kiss her forehead before I went out, just like I usually did, I
would have known. And as soon as Dr. Henry hung up the phone, I sobbed
loudly.
I harshly sat up and screamed out at the top of my lungs. “No! No! This can’t
be happening!” I ignored the puzzled nurse who was attempting to stop me
from crying and instead smashed my fists into the bed. “Mom!!!”
