Filed To Story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage

Marvin’s gaze fell on Oriana again. He wondered if she knew that there were people awaiting her at Imperial.

Marvin felt that he had really never understood Oriana.

The sweet voice of the stewardess sounded,

“Dear passengers, please be aware that your flight C81 to Canada is now boarding.”

Second master, let’s go through the security check from the VIP arena.” Phil suggested politely.

Initially, Marvin had planned on taking a private jet to Imperial, but he was afraid that something sinister would happen to Oriana, so he booked the same flight as Oriana.

Marvin was about to respond to Phil when the phone in his trouser pocket suddenly rang. It was Lily Armstead, his mother.

Marvin looked up call at Oriana, then he turned around and walked to a more quite corner to answer the

“Hello, mom.” Marvin said into the phone immediately he answered the call.

“Marvin, are you about boarding the plane? Your aunt, Bounty, told me on the phone that you found the girl that you like and you’re bringing her along with you to Imperial. I’ll pick her up at the airport. I think it’ll be a great way to win her heart.” Lily’s tender and enthusiastic voice passed over.

Marvin let out a scoff, and his entire appearance became even colder.

“She’s not the kind of girl you think, mom.” He muttered into the phone.

“Really?” Lily questioned indifferently.

“Marvin, mom knows that you have great taste. Very few girls can capture your attention. Honestly, I really don’t like it either. You know that the girl I want for you is the baby that you were betrothed to.” Lily added.

Marvin sighed and gritted his teeth.

“I really don want to see whom my mother wants for me. I really am capable of getting a girl that I want, okay?” Marvin responded emotionlessly.

The phone call between the mother and son quickly became tense.

“It’s for your own good, Marvin.”

“Mom, I’m boarding the plane. Bye “Marvin retracted the phone from his ears.

“Marvin!” Lily swiftly stopped him.

“I just found out that your father has gone to Los Angeles.” Lily informed Marvin. Marvin paused. He wasn’t aware of this.

On the other side of the airport, Oriana let go of North.

“North, I’m boarding the plane, okay? I’m leaving.”

“Oriana, bye.” North’s eyes were reddened as she waved at Oriana.

Oriana grabbed her suitcase and turned around, preparing to head to the security check. However, she soon heard North exclaiming ay with her.

Oriana quickly turned and saw that two men in black had grabbed North and sped away

“North!” Oriana yelled and dropped her suitcase and ran after the men.

When she exited the airport lobby, Oriana’s footsteps slowly stopped as she beheld a high quality Lamborghini car which was parked outside. A man was standing beside the car and was waiting for her.

The man was dressed in a straight black suit, and he wore a black glasses to match. He looked quite gentle, and his appearance was very similar to Deacon’s private secretary, Andrew.

A cold light flashed across Oriana’s eyes, and without hesitation, she asked,

“Who are you? And where is my friend?”

The man nodded and smiled lightly.

“Hello, Miss. Hendrix, I’m Jasper Luke, the personal butler of the Armstead empire. Your friend has been sent back to the modelling agency, and she’s safe and sound. Miss Hendrix, my boss wants to see you.” Jasper’s gentle and precised voice sounded.

Oriana’s heart fell when she heard that North had been sent to the agency.

Jasper seemed to have a good impression of Oriana. He liked to deal with smart people and didn’t condoned retardation.

“Yes, Miss Hendrix, please get in the car, my boss is awaiting you.”

Oriana stood quitely as she looked at Jasper. Her eyes were bright and calm.

“I do hope that my friend wouldn’t be taken away this way next time. There shouldn’t be a repeat of this action.” Oriana stated, and then she turned around and walked away.

Jasper Luke stared at Oriana with admiration. Oriana had guessed who his boss was, and also decided not to go with him, she even dared to issue him a warning.

Jasper stared at Oriana’s slender figure and said audibly,

“Miss Hendrix, eldest young master is in the hospital now. Are you certain that you don’t wanna see him?

Oriana suddenly halted. She turned swiftly and looked at Jasper.

“What’s wrong with Deacon?”

“Eldest young master took a bottle of sleeping pills. Fortunately, he was found in time. He was rushed to the hospital, but he still isn’t awake yet.” Jasper explained.

Oriana’s eyes widened. She couldn’t believe that Deacon had swallowed an entire bottle of sleeping pills. Was he crazy?

Marvin hung up the call and turned around. Oriana was no longer there.

“Where’s Oriana?” Marvin anxiously asked Phil.

Phil stretched out his right hand and touched his head.

“Miss Hendrix was just here.”

Marvin’s heart skipped a beat. Just when he took his eyes away from her, she had disappeare d.

The bad hunch that he felt had finally come true, and she still couldn’t leave the city.

Marvin knew better that anyone else that Oriana might not want to remain in Los Angeles, but Oriana’s deepest bond was still in Los Angeles. And that was capable of preventing her from moving to Imperial.

In the hospital.

Oriana hurriedly ran over and then pushed open the door of the ward. The ward was quiet and there was no one else in there except Deacon.

Deacon laid on the hospital bed, he was clothed in a blue and white hospital gown. He was still in coma. Oriana walked to the side of the bed and lowered her eyes to look at him. His handsome face was as pale as paper.

The depressingly silent ward was filled with the sound of the heartbeat monitor.

Oriana slowly extended her small hand, and her trembling fingertips landed on Deacon’s face. The man she had wore to hate in the morning now laid weakly on the hospital bed.

Oriana’s fair eyes slowly turned red, and then the tears in her eyes fell rapidly.

At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open and someone walked in. It was Mrs. Samantha.

The old lady’s eyes were reddened, and it was obvious that she was crying. She stared at Oriana lovingly and muttered,

“Oriana, you’re back!”

Oriana looked at old Mrs. Samantha who was crying sadly. Oriana noticed that the white hair on Mrs. Samantha’s head had suddenly grown alot.

Grandma.” Oriana called out.

“Olly, dear.” Mrs. Samantha replied, then she walked over and hugged Oriana.

“Good lord, it’s been ages since I last saw you. Grandma misses you so much.” Mrs. Samantha sobbed as she caressed Oriana’s hair.

Oriana had also missed the old lady dearly, but since she and Deacon had reached this point, she couldn’t summon up the courage to visit the old lady for fear that Deacon would think that she wanted him back.

Grandma, what’s wrong with him? Why did he take an entire bottle of sleeping pills? Isn’t he sleeping well? Or has his me ntal health deteriorated?”

The old lady shook her head.

“Deacon told me nothing. I only found out that he had taken an entire bottle of sleeping pills when I arrived at the hospital. The doctor just informed me that his various psychological indicators aren’t normal. In the past three years, it had become even more serious, and we could only rely on sleeping pills for him.”

Oriana tears fell freely from her eyes, and her heart was heavy. She glared at Deacon with resentment and hatred.

“Idiot! Didn’t you insist on getting a divorce? Why are you now lying on a hospital bed?” Oriana cussed inwardly as she cried.

“Grandma, can’t his condition he treated? Didn’t he see a doctor?” Oriana inquired.

“I had hired a medical team to be treating him from the Red Villa, but Deacon didn’t corporate with the treatment at all. He was always sneaking out. I know that he sneaked out to see you.”

Mrs. Samantha held tightly to Oriana’s little hand.

“Oriana, grandma knows that this might a selfish thing to say, but Deacon really can’t do without you.”

Oriana shook her head aggrievedly.

“That’s not true, grandma. You really don’t know what happened. Deacon doesn’t like me anymore, he doesn’t want to see me. He was the one that initiated the divorce, I didn’t want to tell you all these, grandma, but Deacon had stopped treating me well.”

Mrs. Samantha reached out and wiped the tears from Oriana’s face.
