Florence lowered her head to look at Ernest’s swelling wrist, she felt a strong sense of heartache. She couldn’t care anymore, treatment for him was the most important now.
As for everything else, she would deal with them when the problem arose.
After getting in the car, Ernest turned to look at Phoebe who was sitting next to Florence.
“Can you help me with something?”
Phoebe knew that she had caused trouble by asking Stanford to come, that was why Florence had to use such a painful method to divert him.
Seeing Stanford’s difficult expression, she also felt a pang of heartache.
Now that she could help out with something, of course, she would be very enthusiastic and proactive.
She quickly said, “Please say.”
Ernest looked at the driver in front, lowered his volume, and said something to Phoebe softly.
Phoebe’s face changed slightly, her expression worried.
“Can I do this?”
This was too challenging.
Ernest’s tone was calm, “Just do your best, don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”
Even though he said this, if she failed…
Phoebe looked at Ernest’s swollen wrist, then turned to look at Florence’s anxious expression. Her heart clenched tight, and she gritted her teeth fiercely.
She had to succeed on this!
If not, the consequences would be unbearable. The current perfect situation would turn into an absolute disaster.
...
At the pavilion.
Stanford’s face was dark and gloomy, he looked at Benjamin dangerously.
“Benjamin, why did you purposely hurt Clarence?”
With a sharp tone, he questioned Benjamin straight to the point, he had even called him by his name.
The Turner and Fraser family’s relationship was complicated, but they were on good terms. Even Stanford had always been polite to Benjamin. But this sort of courteousness had to be built on mutual respect for the rules.
Now Clarence was Florence’s favourite person, and how dare this Benjamin hurt Clarence.
What’s more, it was at the Fraser’s house, he had been too confident of himself!
Did he think that the Fraser family wouldn’t chase him away?
Benjamin frowned, his attitude sincere, “Mr. Fraser, please, believe me, I didn’t intend to hurt Clarence, I didn’t think that his body would be so weak!
Both of us are from the underworld, we know that our strength is strong, if we weren’t careful, it’s normal to crush someone else’s bones.”
Stanford frowned, even though he didn’t agree, he couldn’t deny what Benjamin had just said.
If there was a wrong estimation of physical fitness, added with him not refraining from using his strength, it was indeed possible that this accident could happen.
Benjamin said, “But hurting Clarence today is my fault. Even though I am from the Turner family, I will apologize to Clarence personally, I will ask for his forgiveness.”
Pausing for a second, he added again, “I will also ask for Florence’s forgiveness.”
Florence hated Benjamin so much now, it wasn’t likely that she would forgive him easily.
But at the end of the day, Benjamin was from the Turner family, if they chased him away simply because of this incident, when the news spread out, it would be unfavourable to the Fraser family.
This would also affect the relationship between the Turner and Fraser family, this was indeed not very appropriate.
If he was chased out by the pettiness of the family, at the end of the day, the blame would lie on Florence saying that she was stubborn and spoilt.
Stanford didn’t care for himself, but he couldn’t let Florence be hurt or discussed.
With his face dark, he looked at Benjamin with a sharp gaze.
