No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 367

Fanny didn't answer me right away, instead, she gazed out the window at Ernest, “How much longer for your Mr. Collins?”

Outside, the man seemed almost ready to kneel before Ernest, who was standing with one hand casually in his pocket. The morning sunlight bathed him, making him look as if he was glowing.

I couldn't take my eyes off him.

A sense of pride and admiration bubbled up inside me, a voice whispering: Felicia, that's your man.

Getting involved with Ernest was something I drifted into by chance.

Initially, it was just a fling to get over the loneliness of breaking up with Conrad.

But now, it felt like I had discovered a treasure, both beautiful to look at and useful.

“You were asked something,” Fanny nudged me with her shoulder when I didn’t respond.

I blinked, “Should be soon.”

If I wasn't mistaken, the man outside was probably begging Ernest to fix his shoulder.

Susie had mentioned her brother knew how to set dislocated joints, having learned from an old man in the village because Susie used to dislocate her arm frequently as a child.

Ernest, having accompanied Susie often, picked up the skill and eventually mastered it.

He knew the tricks to both dislocate and fix a joint, which explained why the man followed him so obediently.

Now, the man outside was pleading with Ernest, who only intended to punish him before fixing him up.

Besides, Ernest had plans to take me for a blood test result; he wouldn't waste too much time on that man.

He was waiting for me and Fanny, getting that, I added to Fanny, "Probably as soon as we step out."

Fanny got the hint, “Then let's talk and walk.”

She grabbed her jacket from the chair, helping me put it on, and filled me in on Haley’s situation.

“After I called you, and you said to just let her be, I arranged for her to get checked and prepared for surgery. But after paying, she vanished,” Fanny spoke with a shake of her head, clearly exasperated.

“She never really wanted to go through with it,” I scoffed softly.
