My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 572

But before Florence asked, Clarence first took the medicine and walked into Ernest’s room.

He skilfully lifted off Ernest’s blanket.

Seeing the white gauze wrapping around Ernest’s body, Florence's attention was instantly drawn to it. Her throat choked and she felt bad.

Whenever she saw it, she would be disheartened.

Clarence looked at Florence who was stiffly standing there. His eyes flashed with a feeling that he felt sorry for her.

If it was possible, he would still personally handle Ernest’s injuries so that Florence would not feel bad when she saw it.

But…

He gritted his teeth. His face darkened as he opened the beg. He neatly arranged and placed aside the medicines to be used.

Then, he handed a pair of scissors to Florence.

“Come, I’ll teach you how to do it.”

Florence looked at Clarence in shock. He let her do it?

She did know how to deal with some injuries and even used to be more familiar with injuries compared to Clarence who was a newbie in this aspect. But, when she faced Ernest’s injuries, she could not even breathe properly.

She resisted, fearing that after seeing Ernest’s hideous wounds, her heart would be extremely painful.

Clarence’s eyes darkened. However, he curled into a teasing and relaxed smile.

“Flory, you’ve promised during the day. You’ll take care of Ernest afterward. I’ve taken care of him for so long, I don’t want to do it anymore.”

He spoke in a tone and with the expression as if she was just trying to shirk work and responsibilities.

Florence was with the grievance. The reason why she did not do this was certainly not because of this reason.

But, even if it was unbearable to take care of Ernest, it should be her responsibility.

Florence took a deep breath. She gritted her teeth, walked to the bed and sat down. She stiffly took the scissors.

She looked down at Ernest’s closed-eyed look and her eyes kept flickering.

With gauze wrapping around now, the faint traces of blood still could be seen. How exactly severe his injuries were? How hideous were them?

Florence dared not think.

She held the scissors tightly. Slowly and stiffly, she cut the joints of the gauze.

Although it was just a simple action, she did it as if she had tried hard to move a big mountain.

Clarence’s heart ached for Florence as he looked at her. He continued, “Due to his injury now, his body shouldn’t move too much. First, cut all his gauze and after applying ointment on the front, deal with those on the back.”

That was, she had to continue to cut.

It was simple and precise.

Florence gritted her teeth and took a deep breath to calm herself.

As this was related to Ernest, she had to be 100% serious. Since it had started, she was not allowed to stop.

She then used the scissors to cut the bandages on his body layer by layer.

With several layers of bandages being cut, dried blood began to appear clearly in front of Florence again.

There were a few pieces and they were stuck together.

During the whole process, Clarence stood aside and looked at Florence with hands around his chest. He did not intend to do it.

He said, “Gauze and wounds will stick together on the bleeding part, you have to gently tear it.”

“Tear?”

Florence widened her eyes in shock. Her face turned pale.

If she tore it, how painful would the wound be! It might also cause secondary damage.

The wounds had already been treated, how come they were still like this?

Clarence said, “Flory, such a matter is inevitable as the condition now is not good. What we need to do now is to keep him alive.”

As for the other matters, they could not care about anything else for now.

Florence was tightly gripping the scissors and her fingers were uncontrollably trembling. Anger and intense hatred were tumbling in her chest.

She had never hated a person like this before.
