My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 958

The female doctor looked at Ernest in shock. She didn’t expect herself to have... escaped death.

She nodded in agreement, "Yes, Mr. Hawkins, don't worry. I'll tell Master exactly what you said."

She was smart and naturally knew what Ernest meant by this.

For such a big news as his wife's pregnancy, even if he was busy, he should have told his grandfather himself, but instead, he let her do so, which was nothing more than giving a notice.

A prefunctory notice.

It meant that Theodore, even though he was the Master, had no say in the matter.

It was also more of a warning.

The female doctor knew she would have a hard time as she went to inform Master, but she was lucky to have survived.

She didn't dare to delay, and after respectfully bidding Ernest farewell, she hurried away.

It was only when she saw that the female doctor had left the door of the house, and that there was no longer any possibility that she could overhear anything, that Florence turned to Ernest and asked, "What's wrong with Yuna? Why is she kneeling here?"

Seeing that Yuna was shivering, Florence knew that she must have been punished for doing something wrong.

Ernest's originally soft eyes, upon seeing Yuna, instantly became cold and harsh again.

He said coolly, "Dereliction of duty."

"Dereliction of duty?"

Florence was puzzled and looked at Yuna again, "Yuna, what's wrong?"

Normally, Florence wouldn't ask about these things, but Yuna had been looking after her for the past few days. She somehow felt that Yuna was kneeling here because of her.

Yuna lifted her head slightly and looked at Florence with teary eyes. With guilt, she apologized repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Fraser. It's my fault. I haven't been taking care of you for the past few days. You were sleepy and ate little, and I didn't notice anything unusual, making your health worse by the day. Luckily, nothing happened to you or the baby in your belly, otherwise, I can hardly absolve myself from the blame even if I die."

Only then did Florence realize that it was because of this.

She couldn’t believe it had scared Yuna like this.

Florence bent down, then took her arm and tried to help her up.

"It's okay. It's not all your fault. I'm the one who didn't let you say anything. I didn't even notice, so how can I blame you?"

Yuna looked at Florence in surprise. She didn’t expect her to say that.

But she still didn't dare to get up, "It was my fault. I should have had the doctor come and check you out before I made you faint."

Florence was even more at a loss whether to cry or to laugh.

"It has even less to do with you that I had fainted. It was something else that stimulated me. All right, I don't blame you. You just get up."

Yuna had done her best to look after her over the past few days, and Florence had forced them not to tell Ernest. Even if he was to blame someone, it really wasn't Yuna's fault.

Besides, nothing really happened to her or the baby.

"But, but ..."

Yuna's eyes twinkled as she looked at Ernest. She was still in fright.

Florence was soft-hearted enough to not blame her.

But she had failed in her duty of taking care of Florence, and Mr. Hawkins would not let her off the hook.

Florence turned her head to look at Ernest and said softly.

"I'm the one who threatened them not to say anything. Will you stop punishing her? Okay?"

The soft voice was like a feather sweeping over his heart.

How could Ernest refuse her request?

Now, even if she asked him to take the stars off the sky, he would literally send rockets into the sky.

He put his arm around her waist to keep her from bending over too much and said reluctantly, "Okay."

Florence immediately smiled.
