My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 574

“Alright.”

Clarence nodded solemnly.

Then, after he instructed some more things, he said goodbye to Florence and went out.

When Florence looked at the big iron door that was closed in front of her, she inexplicably felt very uneasy.

She kept feeling that something bad would happen.

“No, it won’t. Clarence has handled everything so well, he will be fine.”

Clarence soliloquized and comforted herself.

Clarence had planned the matter that he let the tramp help him a few days ago. Now, he was just going to implement it and there should not be any problem.

She just needed to wait here for Clarence to return.

Or perhaps she should make a few dishes to celebrate his successful return from the mission.

Florence thought in this way and her mind was slightly eased. She stood for a while and then turned around and went back to her room.

She fed Ernest with food.

It was rare to see Ernest being so quiet and lying there obediently. Florence pried open his mouth and sent the porridge into it little by little.

Florence spent a lot of time feeding Ernest. After it was all done, she could not help but look towards the door.

Clarence had only gone out for less than an hour. He should not be able to come back so early.

But, she felt very uneasy and was a bit panicked. She then went to do a lot of things to let the time pass more quickly.

She sometimes cleaned the house.

She sometimes talked to Ernest.

She sometimes sat quietly, stared at Ernest and depicted his face.

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the sun to set in the west.

Florence looked at the sky that was about to turn dark outside the window. Even if she got more things for herself to do, she also could not stay calm anymore.

Clarence had not returned yet.

He said that if there was no accident, he would certainly come back before the dinner.

But now, the dinner time had passed.

Even though Florence was not willing to believe, she also had to think that Clarence might have really encountered an accident…

Florence’s entire body felt cold and she walked back and forth in the room anxiously.

She wanted to go out to find and save him but she was clear that she absolutely must not leave the room now.

If she went out and got caught, nobody would take care of Ernest.

If the dressing change was not done in time, he was bound to die.

But, what about Clarence?

Florence was so apprehensive that she almost went crazy. Clarence had not returned and he might have been caught. She was not sure if he was alive or dead now.

Florence hated the situation now very much as she could not do anything.

Her eyes reddened and tears trickled down her face.

Her voice was choked up, “Ernest, if something happens to Clarence, I can’t forgive myself for the rest of my life.”

All Clarence did was to save and help her.

Everything was because of her.

She really owed Clarence too much.

Ernest was lying quietly and there was still no response at all. He was like a sleeping beauty who would not open his eyes.

Florence’s eyes blurred with tears and she felt so bad as if she was going to be drowned.

Who could tell her what should she do now?

Sitting here quietly, waiting for Stanford to come and going out to ask for help when people outside made trouble?

Only God knew that every second for Florence now had become a torment and guilt.

The sky gradually turned dark as if a black curtain was pressed down.

It extinguished the light of hope that supported people bit by bit.

Florence crouched in the corner while quivering. She embraced her legs and could not help but sob.

Her crying sounds sounded in the room softly and faintly.

She was overcome with grief.
