My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 906

Feeling extremely nervous and excited, Florence walked to the vault.

Standing outside, she saw the man bathing in the hot spring, so she shouted with a smile, "Ernest, I have something important to tell you."

She walked in happily with the lunch boxes. Then she placed them on the table and opened it one by one.

But Ernest didn't respond to her after a while.

This shouldn't be.

Ernest would respond to her immediately every time she said something, not to mention that she had just said something important.

Florence was puzzled, and leaving the food aside, she turned around and looked at Ernest., She saw that his eyes were shut tight and brows furrowed as if in pain.

His face looked pale and frightening amidst the thin veil of steam in the hot spring.

Florence was shocked. She ran to the pool and squatted down by side, "Ernest, are you ok?"

She reached out her hand to touch his shoulder, only to find that his body was stiff, which was very abnormal.

Florence became even more alarmed, "Ernest, don't scare me. How do you feel now? Tell me! Open your eyes and look at me."

Her voice quivered. She was terrified.

Her delicate hand shook uncontrollably. It seemed as though she was shaking Ernest with all her might.

But Ernest’s tall and sturdy body did not budge an inch.

He was as unmoving as a stone.

Florence was fear-stricken. Her heart plunged into an abyss of darkness and despair.

Her eyes were red, and she sobbed,

"Ernest, what is going on? Please wake up and look at me."

"Don't do this to me! I'm scared..."

Florence's mind was blank for a while, and she didn't dare to imagine any consequences. Only the endless storm of terror was overwhelming her, threatening to engulf her.

She was at a loss and panic-stricken.

"I… I’m okay..."

Ernest murmured hoarsely through gritted teeth.

Ernest's eyelashes tremored violently and then he slowly opened his eyes.

Florence regained her senses at these feeble words.

Her eyes flickered. She looked at Ernest nervously and asked anxiously,

"What is going on? Are you ok? How do you feel now?"

"Maybe... after sitting here for too long, my body...is stiff..."

Ernest said every word very slowly and with difficulty, "Can… you help me... up..."

Even speaking was difficult for him. Obviously, that was not due to the stiffness from sitting for a long time.

Florence knew that Ernest said this to comfort her, and his current physical condition might be worse than she thought.

She tightly gritted her teeth and convulsed with heartache. She fought back her tears and stepped into the hot spring with one foot, held him with both arms and pulled him up.

Ernest was six feet tall and his weight was almost twice that of Florence. Florence did not feel how heavy Ernest was in the past, but now that all his weight was on her, she felt as though she had been drained of all her energy. Ernest weighed a whopping 220 pounds.

He was like an unshakable mountain.

Florence mustered all her strength and her cheeks were flushed red but Ernest only inched slightly.

Florence tried to lift Ernest’s body up a bit but the weight pressing on her body like a whale. Because Ernest could not support his own weight at all, the load was heavier for Florence.

Soon, Florence was sweating profusely and her legs quivered.

She could barely sustain it.

However, she didn't dare to rest. She gritted her teeth so hard that they might crack and soldiered on.

Ernest was fine before she left, but within half an hour, he was in this state.
