Being released, Florence immediately distanced herself away from Brianna with the medicine bottle in her hand. She then looked towards Ernest nervously, “I never meant to hurt you. Please trust me.”
Ernest took a glance at the medicine bottle in Florence’s hand, a trace of gloominess flashing across his eyes.
The people in the ward all landed their gazes on Ernest. Ernest pressed his thin lips together and said in an indifferent tone, “The medicine is used under my acquiescence.”
Everyone was shocked. They looked at Ernest in astonishment.
Some of them felt shocked while some of them doubted that Ernest was trying to cover up for Florence by saying that.
After all, Ernest loved Florence and pampered her a lot. He even got seriously injured because of Florence and almost died in the car accident. Even if Florence really did something bad to hurt him, he would probably still choose to bear it silently.
They had many assumptions in their hearts and felt touched by Ernest’s affection towards Florence and what he had done for her.
Georgia was also a bit moved, but she caught the key words.
“Your acquiescence? You know about the effect of the medicine?”
Ernest nodded, “It has a wonderful effect. Because of it, I can leave the hospital this soon.”
Florence felt quite surprised when she heard his words.
“You know that I have been changing your medicine recently?”
Ernest took a glance at Florence, “Or do you think that you can change my medicine behind my back?”
Although it was a question, the answer was so obvious.
Ernest was so sensible and he could sense every subtle change. It was likely that he had discovered it the first time she changed his medicine.
But he didn’t expose her secret; instead, he turned a blind eye to it.
Florence flushed and a weird feeling surged in her heart.
Brianna gaped at this, not daring to believe what she had heard just now.
It was a rare opportunity for her to expose Florence’s secret, but the truth was really out of her expectation.
Unwilling to admit this, Brianna added, “But we all have no idea of the source of this medicine. It will be harmful to Ernest if it has any negative effect.”
“There will be no negative effect. I asked Collin to give me the medicine and I also used it before. My small wound was healed the day after I applied this medicine on it.” Florence said in a certain voice.
“Collin gave it to you?”
Even Georgia felt surprised. Then, seeming to recall of something, she finally realized what was going on.
When Ernest was hit by the car, Florence asked Collin to save him. Collin treated Florence well and he protected her a lot. Hence, it could be deducted that they were good friends.
It was reasonable that Collin would give the medicine to Florence.
Georgia felt completely relieved. She hurriedly walked over and held up Florence’s hand and then said gratefully, “Flory, Ernest recovers so quickly thanks to your help. The Hawkins family will remember your kindness.”
“Grandma, don’t be so courteous. This is what I should do.”
Florence flushed a little.
Brianna, who witnessed how harmonious the ambience between Florence and Georgia was, immediately pulled a long face. She was so angry that even her organs were aching.
She didn’t manage to let them detest Florence; instead, Florence became a big heroine and Georgia was so grateful towards her.
In this way, didn’t it mean that Florence’s position in the Hawkins family would be more firm? Would it still be possible for them to cancel the engagement?
Brianna was troubled by this question and felt quite remorseful and angry. She then heard Georgia saying, “Flory, Grandma can tell that you and Ernest care about each other a lot and you love each other. Since this is the case, how about this? I think you can organize your wedding when Ernest leaves the hospital.”
To organize their wedding? Florence was stunned and looked towards Ernest with a flustered look.
There was no expressional change on Ernest’s handsome face and his eyes were as unfathomable as the bottomless abyss. No one could read his mind through his eyes; instead, his eyes seemed like two vortexes that could suck in one’s soul.
When Georgia discussed about the wedding at home back then, Ernest refused it without a second thought.
What was his attitude now?
Florence couldn’t know what was in his mind through his expression, but she felt perturbed about his attitude,
