Chapter 159: Pamper Her to the Greatest Extent
Ernest, who was applying medicine on her wounds, paused. He looked up at Florence and gazed at
her with his deep-set eyes.
He gently touched his wound with his slender and fair finger, “I feel guilty because I haven’t protected
her.”
He felt guilty because he hadn’t protected her.
These few words were disyed in an amplified sound in Florence’s mind again and again like a
magical spell.
Florence gazed at him dully. She couldn’t tell how she felt at the moment.
Ernest didn’t disdain her after these things; instead, he said that he felt guilty because he hadn’t
protected her.
Florence didn’t dare believe that he was so good to her…
She felt even more flustered and confused.
Florence felt more vigorous after having enough sleep.
When her wounds were all re-bandaged, it was time for dinner.
Knowing that her parents and Ernest’s grandma were all waiting outside, Florence intended to meet
them and apany them to have dinner together.
But Ernest checked her body again and again and finally approved her to go out of the room after
making sure that her physical condition would allow her to do that.
As Florence had been seriously injured after all and her legs were also wounded, she could not walk
steadily.
With one hand on the edge of the bed, Florence gazed at the door that was not far away, pondered for
a while and then decided to jump to there.
But just as she was about to jump up, Ernest walked to her side and held her up from the ground.
Florence subconsciously wrapped her arms around Ernest’s neck, which shortened the distance
between them two.
“Mr. Hawkins, what are you doing?”
With a calm and righteous look, Ernest pressed his lips and walked towards outside.
He walked out of the room and reached the coriander with Florence in his arms. Florence finally
realized that he wanted to take her to the dining hall.
But there were so many people downstairs, and she felt embarrassed if Ernest carried her downstairs.
Florence flushed, “Mr. Hawkins, please put me down. I can walk downstairs by myself.”
Ernest, who was about to walk downstairs, suddenly stopped.
He lowered his head and looked at the woman whose face was flushed in his arms meaningfully.

He then said in a deep voice, “Call me by name.”
Was this matter important right now?
Florence felt upset as she and Ernest were caring about different things at the moment. But when
looking into his deep-set eyes, she was fascinated as if she was sucked into a vortex.
This man was really charming.
Flustered, Florence shifted her gaze, “Please put me down.”
Ernest’s gaze became more unfathomable.
He remained silent and continued to walk downstairs with Florence in his embrace. His pace was
neither quick nor slow, but he showed no intention to put her down.
Florence suddenly regretted her decision toe downstairs and have dinner with them. If she had
known about this, she would let theme to her bedroom to see her.
Nichs and Melissa were so delighted when seeing Florence. But when they were about to walk
towards her, they found that Florence was in Ernest’s embrace and both of them became stiff.
It seemed that their rtionship was progressing more smoothly than what they had imagined.
They felt so delighted at the moment.
Georgia, who was sitting straightly on the sofa, also saw Ernest walking downstairs with Florence in his
arms. An amiable smile appeared on her wrinkled face.
She asked in a gentle voice, “Are Flory’s wounds serious?”
Although she was happy to see Ernest carrying Florence downstairs in his arms intimately, she was a
sagaciousdy after all and quickly guessed that this might be because Florence’s health condition was
not that optimistic.
Therefore Ernest had to carry her downstairs.
When hearing her concerning words, Florence’s face became even redder.
As a matter of fact, her wounds were not that serious, but…
Ernest, however, looked so m. It was as if holding Florence in his arms was an extremely normal
thing.
“Her legs are wounded and it’s inappropriate for her to walk by herself.”
“Poor girl. Let me look at you.”
Melissa felt so distressed for Florence. She walked to Florence and pulled up her dress. Florence’s
calves were then exposed in the air.
Melissa saw a coin-sized bruise on her calve. It looked like it was caused by someone’s kick.
She furrowed his brows, “Flory, where else did you get hurt?”
This wound was not that big. Although it would ache, it would not have a great impact that Florence
even couldn’t walk by herself. She must have some serious wounds at other ces on her body.
But as there were so many people here, Melissa couldn’t pull up Florence’s dress further, so she could
only ask her.
Seeing that Melissa was worrying about her, Florence hastily shook her head.
“Only this part of my legs was hurt. He kicked me. It’s just a slight wound and will be healed soon.”
“Are you sure that only this ce was wounded?” Melissa asked with uncertainty.
Florence nodded her head resolutely, “Mom, really, only this ce.”
Melissa heaved a sigh of relief. But at the next moment, she looked at Florence with a stranger look
and then nced at Ernest. There wereplicated emotions in her eyes.
Like Melissa, other people also gazed at Florence and Ernest withplicated emotions.
Florence felt unease under their gazes? What was wrong?
After a short while, she finally realized what was wrong. She only had a slight wound on her calve, but
Ernest still carried her downstairs.
This was definitely a public disy of affection in others’ eyes.
Florence’s face became redder. She patted Ernest sulkily and whispered in his ear, “Hurry up to put me
down. They’re all looking at you.”
“I will carry you until your wounds are healed.”
Although Ernest’s voice was neither high nor low, it sounded determined and indisputable.
He acted as if he hadn’t noticed others’ gazes and walked pass the living room towards the dining room
with Florence in his eyes.
Melissa looked at Ernest’s tall figure in a dumbfounded state and was inexplicably cheered up.
She grabbed Nichs’ arm, “Our son-inw-to-be really pampers Flory a lot. But this will spoil her.”
Although it sounded like she was worrying about them, there was obvious praise and even
enviousness in her tone.
Nichs also nodded his head with satisfaction, “Men should be like this. Although the wound is slight,
he should show his care for his woman and shouldn’t let her suffer grievance.”
While Nichs and Melissa were quite satisfied with this, Brianna and Georgia, however, were totally
astonished.
Other people may not know about it, but they were so clear that Ernest had a bad temper and picky
taste. He had always been superior and had never cared about other people’s feelings, not to mention
showing his concern or taking care of others.
He had always been a noble man. But now, he was taking care of a woman carefully and even carried
her downstairs because he felt distressed even if his woman would have to suffer the slight pain.
Florence was actually an apple in his eyes.
“Mom, don’t you think that Ernest is pampering Florence a lot? If they get married, will he be a
hen-pecked husband? Oh, this can’t happen.”
Brianna gritted her teeth and said with discontent.
She had never expected that Ernest and Florence’s rtionship would be improved to such an extent?
How could she let them cancel the engagement under such circumstance?
