Filed To Story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage

And he, he would never meet a girl like her again. He knew very well how bad his health and condition would be without her. She was his only medicine.

But it didn’t matter. He wanted falling into hell alone, he had come from hell, hence he shouldn’t be greedy for sunshine all of a sudden.

In the early morning of the next day, Oriana opened her eyes and her vision was restored to her. After a simple wash, she headed to the Ivory Council. Mrs. Robert was awake.

The VIP ward was filled with happiness. Dean Sebastian personally checked Mrs. Robert’s body and smiled.

“Ma’am, congratulations, the surgery was a success, and you’re recovering quite fine. You’ll definitely live longer.”

Mrs. Robert leaned on the head of the bed. Although she was still weak, she was in a good spirit. She held Oriana’s hand and expressed her appreciation,

“Thank you my angel, you saved me. I want to repay you properly.”

Oriana couldn’t help but smile.

“Ma’am, it’s our duty as doctors to treat people. You don’t have to repay me, as long as you’re healthy, then I’m satisfied.”

“No, I must repay you.” Mrs. Robert insisted.

“I owe you my life, hence I’m promising you my life. Mrs. Robert added.

Oriana’s eyes widened as she looked at the old lady before her.

Derrick who was eating an apple, let out a laughter.

“Grandma, why would you promise your life to this ugly girl?

Old Mrs. Robert grabbed a pillow and smashed it on Derrick’s face.

“It’s you that’s ugly. You’re the most ugly creature in this world.”

Derrick looked at his grandmother in shock. Derrick didn’t believe his ears, so he moved closer to her.

“Grandma, are you supporting this girl over me?”

Mrs. Robert didn’t even look at Derrick. She patted Oriana’s hand and said to her.

“Angel, look at my grandson, isn’t he handsome? He’s rich and influential. You can take him away and discipline him. If you agree, then I can have my grandson propose to you. How about a marriage proposal? We can organize that as soon as possible?”

Everyone in the ward was dumbfounded, Oriana included. Everyone watched as the old lady paired her grandson with Oriana.

Oriana quickly muttered,

“Ma’am, thank you so much for your kindness, but i really can’t stand your grandson.”

Derrick looked at Oriana with his peach blossom eyes. He felt uncomfortable when he heard Oriana reject him. It was the first time that a woman rejected him.

“Angel, why can’t you stand him?”

“Ma’am.” Oriana interrupted her, and whispered,

“I already have someone that I like. I’m married ma’am. I have a husband.”

Mrs. Robert and Derrick both stiffened. Oriana looked quite young, and they could never guess that she was married.

Oriana raised her red lips, and her clear eyes shone with light.

“Ma’am, you heard me right, I’m married. Although my husband isn’t very good tempered, he sometimes gets angry at me. But I love him and wanna be him through the spring, autumn and winter. I wanna heal the scars in his heart, and grow old beside him.”

Oriana’s voice was soft and gentle, and a bright smile flickered in her clear eyes.

“So, ma’am, I’m sorry but I have to turn down your offer.”

Old Mrs. Robert fully understood what Oriana implied. Her little angel was married, and loved her husband dearly.

“Oh, my little angel, since I already made a promise to you, you can request for anything, and I’ll grant it.” Mrs. Robert smiled lovingly.

Oriana stood up slowly.

Ma’am, I’ll say it again, it’s my duty is to treat people, ma’am. Take care of yourself ma’am. I’ll go ahead now. I’ll drop by to see you once I’m free.”

Oriana walked out of the ward.But suddenly, Derrick’s voice sounded from behind her,

“Hello, ugly girl!” Derrick had chased after her.

Oriana halted and looked back at Derrick.

“Mr. Rodriguez, do you have something to say to me?”

Derrick stared at Oriana with his pair of peach blossom eyes.

“Are you really married?” He asked interestedly.

“Yes, I am.” Oriana replied.

Derrick walked over to her right side. Oriana’s eyes were bright and shiny. Derrick reached out to take off the mask from her face.

Oriana swiftly stretched out her hand and knocked his hands off.

Derrick snorted and retracted his hand.

“I think that you’re just ugly, very ugly, so don’t blame me. By the way, why didn’t you request for something the moment my grandma asked you to? Well, just so you know, I’ll be returning to the Imperial with my grandma.”

The old Mrs. Robert and Derrick are both from the Imperial, it was expected for them to return home. “I’ll give you a meal timetable later, the old lady has to eat a specific meal inorder for her to recuperate well.” Oriana replied calmly.

Derrick realized that Oriana really didn’t want to make any request. He narrowed his eyes and said,

“Ugly girl, will you come with us to the Imperial city?”

Oriana shook her head.

“I can’t afford to at the time being.

“You saved my grandmother’s life. I do owe you a favor. I’ll definitely reward you. Once you arrive at the Imperial city, just find young master to play with.” Once he was done speaking, Derrick left..

Oriana couldn’t comprehend what Derrick had just said, so she shrugged and continued with her journey.

In the VIP ward, old Mrs. Robert muttered in a daze,

“It really isn’t fun, my little angel can’t be my granddaughter-in-law, Hurry up and pack up, let’s return to the Imperial city.”

“Grandma, you had sneaked into Los Angeles, didn’t you intend on paying your old friend a visit? Before you leave, do you want to meet up with her and maybe have a coffee together?” Derrick suggested.

Old Mrs. Robert waved her hand in dismissal of his opinion.

“No need for that. She has been here for six or seven years. Her free time is over. She will soon return. to Canada because her son is coming to pick her up. Let’s return to the Imperial first, I’ll meet her once she returns.”

Okay, I’ll have the private jet ready.”

Oriana had taken another blood test. She had guessed that she had been affected badly by the flower’s poison. She was certain that the indirect blindness was caused by the flower’s poison.

She lugged at the test sheet in her hands. The flower’s poison was extremely poisonous. She couldn’t save herself, and also couldn’t save Mr. Armstead.

A cold and handsome figure appeared before her, Marvin was here.

Marvin looked at her, then his eyes fell on the laboratory test sheet in her hand.

“Do you have the flower’s poison in your system? Marvin inquired calmly.

Oriana quickly folded the test sheet and placed it in her bag. She didn’t reply to his question, but had swiftly changed the topic.

“Academician Armstead, thanks again for saving me. You have saved me multiple times. So, Mr. Armstead and I are inviting you to a dinner to express my gratitude.”

Marvin was not a child, he clearly understood what she implied.

“I have something else to catch up with. See you later.” Oriana turned around and made to walk away.

“Oriana.” Marvin reached out and held her on the wrist.

Oriana halted and forcefully withdrew her wrist.

“Academician Armstead, I’m your sister-in-law, and you’re my brother-in-law. Please endeavor to keep the physical contact to the minimum.”

Marvin looked at her bright eyes, he pursed his thin lips, and then said,

“Oriana, follow me back to Imperial city. You’ve been poisoned by the flower. Return with me to the Imperial city. I can save you.”

Oriana raised her eyes and looked at Marvin.

“Oriana, do you want to die? Marvin asked tenderly.

Oriana shook her head and replied,

“No, I do want to live. But I still have a lot of things to do here.”

“If you wanna live, then come with me to the Imperial city. This is the only way for you to survive.”

Oriana took in a deep breathe and was didn’t utter another word.

“Oriana. I really wanna know why you still chose to stay here, I mean the only memory this city has for you is that of the betrayal and abandonment that you faced as a child. Imperial city is a medical center, I have a feeling that you were born there, you belong there. Leave Los Angeles with me to the Imperial city.” Marvin pleaded patiently.

Oriana looked at under his feet, and said softly,

“But there’s Mr. Armstead here, here is where I met him. I have all my memories of him here, I can’t bear to leave here. I can’t let go of him. It’s true that this city has a lot of bad memories to me, but because of Mr. Armstead, I still love this city.”

Marvin sighed and then asked.

“Then what about your body?”

“I’ll think about going to the Imperial, but academician Armstead, don’t waste your time on me. I’m not worth it.” Oriana turned around and walked away from him,

Marvin stood quietly, as he watched Oriana’s pretty figure disappear from his sight. He took out his phone from his pocket and sent a message to Deacon.

Oriana didn’t want to die, she wanted to live a good life, so leaving for the Imperial had to be included. in her plan. But before considering leaving, she had to deal with the Hendrix family’s issues.

She wanted uncovering the truth about how her grandfather had fallen down the stairs ten years ago. And also place Pamela where she ought to be.

Oriana boarded a taxi to the Hendrix’s home. She wanted to see her grandfather, old master Hendrix.

But when Oriana entered his room, there was no one on the bed, and Mr. Hendrix was nowhere to be found.

Oriana quickly asked the maid,

“Where’s my grandfather?”

Suddenly, Monica cat-walked over and smiled at Oriana.

“Oriana, you don’t need to look for him. We have already moved the old man to somewhere else. From henceforth, you will not be allowed to see the man.”

Oriana’s eyes widened and her fist clenched.
