My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 400

As soon as Stanford approached, Florence felt more nervous.

Right then, Ernest was under her quilt. His figure was so big, and he couldn’t be covered completely. If Stanford got closer, he would find the abnormality pretty easily.

In a panic, Florence shook her head to dodge Stanford’s reached-out hand.

“I might be on fever.”

As she spoke, Florence put her hand on her forehead and pretended to be haggard. “It’s a little hot. I want to nap for a moment.”

“You are on fever. You must see the doctor.”

Stanford frowned, looking at Florence’s naked arms in dissatisfaction.

It was getting colder but she didn’t put on enough clothes. No wonder she got a cold.

“Get up. Let me take you to see a doctor.”

As he spoke, Stanford strode over to her closet, found her a long-sleeved blouse and trousers, and put them on her bed.

Florence was taken aback for a moment. It wouldn’t take her much longer time to put on the clothes. Stanford would be waiting for her outside the room. Since he was so alerted, once Ernest climbed out, he would hear the sound and found Ernest.

She couldn’t take the risk, so she wanted to send Stanford away immediately.

“Stanford, I don’t want to see the doctor. I’m not feeling well. I’m so weakened. I just want to take a nap.”

Florence looked at Stanford pitifully. Her eyes were half squinted, looking as if she were so sleepy.

Stanford frowned more deeply.

After thinking for a few seconds, he said solemnly, “You must see the doctor, or your sickness will get worse. You can take a nap after seeing the doctor. Well, I’ll ask the doctor to come over.”

Florence hadn’t expected that Stanford wouldn’t only leave her room after she pretended so but also call another person to come over.

If the doctor came over, Ernest would be definitely found in her quilt.

Florence’s face became as reddish as an apple. She became extremely anxious.

What should she do? What should she do?

She was in a panic, wondering what to do. She wanted to make an excuse to lie to Stanford and ask him not to call over the doctor. Right then, the warm palms under her quilt suddenly pressed on her waist. Florence was so freaked out that she immediately swallowed back the words at the tip of her tongue.

Holding Florence, Ernest waved her hands on her waist, hinting at her to stop.

Florence’s nerves were so tense, but she immediately understood what Ernest meant - he asked her not to stop her brother.

However, if the doctor truly came over, how could Ernest be hidden?

Florence was flustered, but she couldn’t find a better way. By instinct, she trusted Ernest, so she could only nod at Stanford in agreement.

Immediately, Stanford said, “Put on your clothes. I’ll call the doctor. He should be here in ten minutes.”

As he spoke, he walked out of her room, pulled out his cell phone, and started to call the doctor.

However, before he stepped out, Stanford let out a surprised voice.

He looked at his phone in surprise and couldn’t believe there was no signal there.

He wondered what happened.

There was a special base station around their villa. Usually, the signal was pretty strong. However, he couldn’t find any signal today at all. He even couldn’t dial out the phone number!

Sensing something wrong, Stanford squinted dangerously.

He looked back at Florence who was with a ruby face, frowning. He said, “I don’t have a signal here. I’ll go out and make the call. Stay still and wait.”

After finishing his words, Stanford immediately strode out.

Looking at Stanford’s quickly receding figure, Florence gaped. She couldn’t come back to her senses at all.

How come he left just like that?

That was great!
