My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 649

In a hurry, she picked up the phone and dialed Ernest’s number. However, she only heard the robotic reply that the call couldn’t be connected.

The number was Ernest’s private number, which always stood by twenty-four hours a day. How could it be connected?

The more Florence wondered, the more panicked she became.

She dared not to delay any longer. In a hurry, she put on her clothes and walked out of her bedroom.

She rushed to Phoebe’s room, knocking on her door.

“Who is it?” Phoebe mumbled sleepily.

Florence asked anxiously, “Phoebe, have you seen Ernest before going to bed?”

“No, I haven’t.”

After she heard a few sounds in the room, Phoebe came to open the door in pajamas.

As soon as the door was opened, Phoebe saw how panicked Florence was. She asked nervously, “Flory, what happened? Is Ernest missing?”

Florence nodded. “Yes. I came back with him, but when I woke up just now, I didn’t see him. I’m quite worried.”

“Please don’t worry. I’ll go with you to look for him. He’s probably busy with something.”

Phoebe wrapped her pajamas tightly, walking out of her bedroom.

Florence was so uneasy that she wanted to leave immediately.

Right then, a man’s voice was heard. “I’ll go with you girls.”

In the direction where the voice came from, they saw Clarence came out from his room.

He was in loos pajamas, looking solemnly. He walked quite slowly.

Florence was startled. She immediately refused, “No, thanks. Clarence, you haven’t recovered yet. You’d better go back to sleep.”

Clarence still walked towards Florence without a stop.

“I’m almost recovered. You need more help. Don’t turn me down. Let’s go.”

Without giving Florence a chance to say no, Clarence turned around and walked out directly.

He didn’t walk faster, but his tall and strong figure looked quite determined.

Florence was worried about his health indeed.

However, he was too strong to be stopped. For a moment, she didn’t know what to do.

Phoebe cast a complicated glance at Clarence, understanding what was in his mind.

He couldn’t fall in love with Florence, but once she needed help, he must be with her. It would be better if he could help her, although he was still wounded.

Phoebe understood how he felt. Pressing her lips, she took Florence’s arm and said, “Flory, Clarence wasn’t injured seriously. He could walk, so he could help us. Please let him go with us.”

In the whole afternoon, Phoebe was with Clarence, so she knew his status very well.

Upon hearing Phoebe’s words, Florence believed, so she nodded in agreement.

Walking ahead of them, Clarence was delighted.

He seemed to have more energy, speeding up his pace to walk out.

There were bodyguards outside the courtyard. Clarence walked out and asked one of them.

“Have you seen Ernest Hawkins go out tonight?”

The bodyguard nodded. He answered, “Yes, he went out after sending Miss Fraser back.”

His words reechoed in Florence’s mind.

She realized that Ernest had been gone for two to three hours already.

Florence was in a panic. In a hurry, she asked, “Have you seen where he’s gone?”

The bodyguard answered, “Probably in that direction, but I don’t know where exactly he had gone.”

Follow the direction that the bodyguard was pointing at, Florence recognize that it was the direction of the mid-yard, where her parents were staying.

She wondered if Ernest went to have a talk with Victoria.

It was quite possible.

Florence said while walking, “Let’s go check over there.”
