My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 979

Victoria had breakfast with the couple before she told something regarding the business and left.

Now she was the busiest one in the house as she had to be in charge of the things that were not his responsibility in the past.

On the other hand, with less burden on his shoulder, Stanford could now spend more time with Phoebe to look after her.

As she was getting better, Phoebe gave Florence Fraser a video call.

She didn’t know how much Florence had known from Victoria Wilson. But according to Stanford, it was Ernest Hawkins that sent someone to tell him that she was in danger.

So obviously Florence had sensed the potential danger.

That’s why she needed to inform Florence that she was safe.

After a few seconds, Florence picked up the phone.

“Flory!” Greeted Phoebe with much joy. Yet the pale face of the girl on the screen eliminated her smile.

Her face was as pale as paper, and below her eyes the skin was dark blue. She looked quite withered.

Only then did Phoebe realized that her friend was much thinner.

Stanford was nearby checking files. Hearing what Phoebe said, he put them aside and came to have a look.

Having noticed how haggard the face on the screen was, he became quite worried.

In a low voice, he asked with much concern, “Are you all right, Flory?”

Florence nodded and put a forced smile on her pale face before she said with seemingly calm, “Don’t bother. I am all right. It was just vomiting during pregnancy.”

Vomiting during pregnancy …

Frowned a bit, Stanford was absolutely unable to understand that.

Only then did Phoebe realize that vomiting during pregnancy can be so painful.

She asked worriedly, “You’ve been vomiting heavily?”

“Only recently. But with the doctor around, I’m all right.”

Then it was Florence’s turn to ask, “Phoebe, does your wound still hurt?”

“Don’t worry. It’s not serious. I will soon get well.”

Phoebe did not let Florence see her body wrapped all over by bandage but showed her a smiling face.

“I tell you, getting injured is not that bad. Stanny is taking care of me day and night,” said Phoebe like a cat who had just stolen fish. Seeing that, Florence became less worried.

She was still energetic enough to flirt with Stanford, which meant she was fine.

Florence looked at Stanford earnestly, “Stanny, you must take good care of Phoebe. She was physically and mentally weakened by her injury. You should give her whatever she wants. A good mood is good for her early recovery.”

Stanford was again speechless.

The words seemed to indicate that his younger sister and his mother were all standing on Phoebe’s side.

Phoebe secretly showed her agreement with Florence’s words with her thumb up.

She was indeed a considerate friend!

Florence wined at Phoebe and laughed as she knew what Phoebe has in mind. But all of a sudden, she began to bend over and vomit, with only her back was visible on the screen.

“Flory?”

“Flory!”

Phoebe and Stanford both shouted and stared at the screen with much concern.

Then a tall man appeared on the screen. It was Ernest Hawkins.

Standing by Florence, he frowned and patted her back gently with his big palm.

Finally, Florence recovered after vomiting a long while.
