My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 94

Gemma’s face turned as pale as a sheet, she looked nervously at Ernest and said, “Ernest…”

Ernest grimaced, though he didn’t believe that Collin would slip up on purpose. A legendary doctor like him wouldn’t do something like that to ruin his reputation.

But what kind of disease did Florence have?

He looked sideways and size up Florence.

“Are you feeling unwell?”

Florence was taken aback. She shook her head and said, “Nothing much other than my immunity being weaker than normal people.”

That shouldn’t be symptoms for some intractable or incurable disease.

Gemma was feeling worried, she quickly said.

“Sometimes the person themselves couldn’t feel anything even when they’re sick with some weird disease. Cancer for example, sometimes people would only find out about it at the last stages. It’s better to do a check-up than thinking that you know your body best.”

Ernest frowned, he thought about it seriously. He didn’t want Florence to be sick with some sort of disease, but he was also very suspicious of Collin. He thought that Collin had ulterior motives and didn’t want him to get close to Florence.

It was only a body check-up and Ernest thought so hard about it. He treated that with more importance than Gemma needing to see the doctor. Seeing that, Gemma felt a crazy jealousy brewing inside of her.

Though on the surface, she hid that emotion. Instead, she looked at Florence with puppy eyes, begging her to help her.

Florence gulped, why was she the one making the decision now? She was only here to accompany them and shouldn’t be a part of this.

She thought about it and felt that there was no harm doing a body check-up, “Mr. Hawkins, I’ll do it.”

This could even save her some money.

Ernest didn’t agree to it immediately. He turned his head and looked at Collin, his eyes filled with distrusts.

“I will be there during the check-up. I’ll make sure that you’ll regret if you have any tricks up your sleeves.”

There was a hint of joy in Collin’s eyes. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I am not interested in her in that way.”

After that, Collin looked at Florence profoundly. He then turned around and walked into the house.

His voice chimed from indoors, “Come in.”

Gemma’s pounding heart could finally calm down.

What she wished for will turn out alright, since it was Collin treating her.

Florence was going to enter the house when Ernest suddenly grabbed her hand. He said in a serious tone of voice.

“You have to stick with me at all times when we’re in there, okay?”

Florence was taken aback; she glanced at Gemma who was already in front uncomfortably. She felt sorry.

She didn’t feel good about being so flirtatious in front of Gemma as Gemma was Ernest’s girlfriend.

“I, I know.”

Florence muttered as she tried to forcefully pull her hand away from Ernest.

Ernest was displeased. As he was about to grab her again, Florence took a step forward and stood beside him.

“I’ll be next to you the whole time.”

Ernest couldn’t help but smile seeing her so earnest and taking initiative.

The mayor who was standing by the side was so shocked his eyes almost fell out of the socket, seeing the people walking gallantly into Collin’s house.

It had been so many years. This was his first time seeing someone being successful at begging Collin to treat them and was allowed to enter his house.

He was in awe, Mr. Hawkins deserved his reputation.

There was nothing special about Collin’s place, it looked like a normal farmhouse. Simple furniture and decorations, it was simple yet cosy.

One wouldn’t think that he was that much of a legend if they were to just walk in his house like that. They would just see him as a normal person.

Florence looked around with puzzle and whispered to Ernest who was next to her.

“He doesn’t seem to own any medical equipment, why are we let in here?”

Ernest wanted to nibble on her ears so bad. He smiled contently.
