My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 891

Gideon felt that he was out of options and composed himself before walking towards Ernest. Once again Timothy tried to block him.

He patiently explained, “Mr. Hawkins, there is something that I need to say only to you.”

At that distance, anything he said could be heard by many people.

Ernest did not mind. Putting aside whether Gideon dared hurt him, even if he did, he was no match for Ernest.

Ernest gestured to Timothy to step aside.

Gideon walked over to Ernest and stopped just a step away from him. He gently bowed and said respectfully, “Mr. Hawkins, forgive me for being direct. I’m depending on Cocos to extend my life. It was too great a price for me to give you this. Thus, I’m mustering my courage to make this request. I know that the Turner family has a treasure vault and there are many priceless items inside. I hope that you can open the vault and allow me to pick one thing. I guarantee that I’ll only pick one.”

Ernest raised his eyebrows and was surprised by Gideon’s request. How did he know about the Turner family’s treasure vault?

Gideon quickly explained for fear of Ernest’s suspicion, “I knew about the Turner family’s vault by chance. The reason why the Turner family rescued me was that I had some relationship with the Seventh Master of the Turner family. He could be considered my good buddy and that was why he told me about the vault.”

Ernest found his explanation quite convincing. Furthermore, their relationship seemed to be significant. From what Gideon said, it was obvious that he knew only Ernest could open the vault. That was why he made this request.

Ernest sized up Gideon and felt that he looked sincere and did not detect anything amiss. It looked like he was just hoping to pick a treasure to replace his loss by giving up the Cocos.

However, Ernest never trusted a person’s outward appearance.

Regardless of whether Gideon was sincere or had other motives, he was not afraid of the man trying to play him out. His objective was to obtain Cocos.

Ernest said, “Since you already know so much, you should know that I could not open the vault before I get the Cocos.”

Gideon immediately replied, “Mr. Hawkins, rest assured that I will give the Cocos to you first. You may open the vault after you’ve used it.”

Ernest raised his eyebrows in surprise that Gideon even knew about his sickness. That meant that this man was very familiar with the Turner family and him. Perhaps, he had harbored intentions on the vault for a long time.

He was a voracious collector. So, what was inside the vault that he was interested in? Now Ernest was curious but did not reject the request. He said, “Also, Collin had to agree to open the vault. Give me the Cocos first.”

Ernest neither agreed nor rejected Gideon's request. He did not trust the words of someone he did not know. His doctor was Collin. He was willing to have this transaction out of fairness. Even if he did not agree to it, Gideon had no choice but to accept.

He was the dealer.

Gideon’s expression turned solemn. Then, he replied respectfully, “Okay. I’ll go along with this… Mr. Collin’s decision.” He was in no hurry.

Ernest nodded to Timothy and Timothy walked towards the car and gently tapped the window. The window slowly wound down and revealed Collin’s handsome face.

He asked, “What’s up?”

They were inside the car and could not hear Gideon and Ernest’s conversation.

Timothy said, “Gideon said that Cocos can let Master open the Turner family treasure vault. He would like you to verify this.”

Collin raised his eyebrows and looked at Gideon with interest. He was impressed that Gideon knew so much. He opened the door to get out. As he approached Gideon, he asked, “Are you familiar with Cocos?”

Gideon did not know Collin, but from Ernest’s attitude, he could guess who Collin was.
