“I went to the ward at noon and Mr. Hawkins was there at that time. He has recovered a lot. Could it be that he goes out to have a walk?”
Was Ernest the kind of person who would go out to have a walk?
However, he had been staying in the ward for a long period of time and now he finally could walk by himself, so it was reasonable that he would go out to have a walk.
Florence hurriedly ran out of the office.
The doctor looked at Ernest back in confusion. What was wrong? Miss Fraser had always been together with Mr. Hawkins, but why she couldn’t find him now?
Florence ran downstairs nonstop. There were several gardens in the hospital and patients could have a walk here.
She went to the gardens one by one to search for Ernest and specially checked the places that were packed with many people or places that were quite remote and quiet because she thought Ernest would probably come to these places.
But she checked the gardens for two times yet still failed to find Ernest.
He was not in the gardens, now was he in the ward?
Could it be that he had been discharged from the hospital? But why didn’t him inform her of it?
Florence felt like all the strength in her body was drained out. She felt quite upset and uncomfortable at the moment.
He didn’t want to see her now, right?
Florence was clutched by an upset mood. She felt quite discouraged and went back to the ward in a bad mood.
She had been living in the ward during this period of time. But when Ernest left the ward, she didn’t know where she should live in.
“Bam…”
With her head lowered, Florence opened the door of the ward. But the moment she stepped into the ward, she bumped into a man.
Florence was dumbfounded.
The man’s low, deep voice sounded from above her head, “Why don’t you watch where you’re going? Do you want to hit the wall?”
Florence felt familiar with his voice and his scent.
She abruptly looked up and saw Ernest’s handsome face.
There was apparent criticism and dissatisfaction in his beautiful eyes.
But Florence, who was dispirited just now, felt her mood enhanced when she saw him.
She involuntarily grabbed his cloth, “You haven’t left?”
The delight in her eyes was so obvious that Ernest felt shocked when he saw it.
She felt so discouraged because she thought he had left?
There was a slight change in his expression. But Ernest still said coldly, “Who said that I’ve left?”
“You were not in the ward just now. Where have you been?”
“I went for a check-up.” Ernest replied perfunctorily.
Florence heaved a sigh of relief, “I was frightened just now. It’s so good that you haven’t left.”
She thought that Ernest didn’t want to see her anymore.
Ernest lowered his head and fixed his eyes on Florence to study her reaction. She secretly applied the medicine offered by Collin on her and wasn’t it because she wanted him to leave the hospital as early as possible? But why did she look disappointed when she misunderstood that he had been discharged?
Ernest felt it really hard to read this woman’s mind.
He said in a deep voice, “You will be free when I’m discharged from the hospital. You should feel happy.”
She would confess to him when he left the hospital.
Florence blushed when thinking that it would come soon and subconsciously curled her lips into a smile.
She stared at him and said, “Yeah. You should leave the hospital on time.”
Ernest immediately pulled a long face. On time?
He then replied in a cold voice, “Okay. I will not stay here for a more second.”
He let go of her after finishing the words and walked towards the bed with a cold face.
He looked aloof and angry.
