Chapter 465: Stay By Her Side
Collin was nervous about Ernest’s question.
Victoria and the rest didn’t see what happened to Florence, hence, they could easily be deceived using
allergy as an excuse.
But Ernest was there the whole time, he wouldn’t believe it was ordinary allergy reactions.
But Collin had considered about this, he didn’t intend to tell too many people about the incident.
After a quick hesitation, he looked straight at Ernest as a signalled.
“Yes, that it. But the symptoms were more worrisome, that’s all.”
Ernest’s sights became darker. He understood Collin’s signal.
But he felt more anxious knowing his intention, Collin kept it a secret deliberately meaning Florence’s
sudden sickness was not ordinary.
Meaning, someone tried to take her life while in the Fraser’s house, with his presence…
Victoria finally let out a sigh of relief hearing Collin.
She turned and shouted at Alexander and Stanford, “Do not ever serve any kind of prawn rted meal
anymore in the future!”
“Alright, got it!”
They nodded determinately, there was even slight guilt on their faces.
If they knew Florence was allergic to prawn, they would never serve prawn or watched her ate so many
crayfish.
They were in pain if Florence fell sick.
Victoria held onto Florence’s cold hand and patted on it. She then looked at Ernest, “rence, thank
you for discovering Florence’s condition and rushed her over on time, you saved her life.”
Ernest’s hands of drying Florence’s hair had never stopped, he replied calmly. “This is what I should
do.”
He had a heavy sense of guiltiness, if only he could be more careful and detail, he could have avoided
letting Florence suffer.
Victoria nodded in satisfaction, he saved her but didn’t want anything in return or boast about it, he was
indeed a good person.
The more she looked at rence, the more she felt like he was the ideal son-inw.
And she concerned about his health, “Let me take care of Florence, go take a hot shower, get change
and have some rest.”
How could he rest while Florence was still in aa? He didn’t know how serious her condition was.
Ernest put down the towel in his hands and put Florence’s hair beside the bed. He raised his head and
looked at Victoria afterpleting all those.
“Mrs. Fraser, I have a request that needs your approval.”
Despite they’ve only known each other for a few days, but Victoria believed that rence was a
considerate and rational person, he won’t make an unreasonable request.
But what could his request be?
Victoria said in confusion, “Go on.”
Ernest looked at Florence’s pale face, “I wish to take care of Florence until she is fully recovered.”
Victoria stunned, she didn’t expect such a request from rence.
He was really sincere.
“You don’t have to do this…”
“I was partly responsible for what happened.”
Ernest looked sad, guilty and regretful. “I was the one peeling all the crayfish for her.”
If he hadn’t do it, Florence would not have eaten so much.
Victoria’s face softened. “No one knew this would happen, it’s not your fault, don’t me yourself.”
“I will take full responsibility since it’s rted to me.”
Ernest was determined and stubborn. “Furthermore, I will feel worried if I lose sight of her.”
Victoria bit her lips and smiled.
Even without words, it was obvious how important Florence was to rence. Their rtionship would
have a big step forward after what happened.
It was good that it helped to make their rtionship stronger.
Victoria nodded after consideration. “Alright, we will put Florence in your hand, for now, do tell if you
need anything.”
“Thank you.” Ernest replied and finally was able to rx a little.
He could only stay by her side with a proper excuse, he needed to keep an eye on her.
Since Victoria and the rest were here, Ernest finally had some time to change.
And since Ernest wanted to stay by Florence’s side the whole night, Victoria and the rest went home at
the end.
The room became quiet with only Collin and Ernest.
Collin felt a little ufortable, he touched the back of his head and smiled. “It’ste, I will go to bed
now. Call me if you need anything, my room is just outside.”
Collin wanted to escape right away.
Ernest’s sights was like numerous sharp needles poking his body. Ernest said in a deep voice, “Mr
Collin, don’t you have some exining to do?”
Collin’s escaping steps frozen.
Darn it, rence noticed something was wrong and didn’t intend to let him go, he wanted to know the
truth.
But Collin chose not to tell because he didn’t want too many people to know.
He turned and the friendly and smiley face turned serious.
“rence, you only need to take good care of Florence, there are things that you shouldn’t know.”
However, Ernest said dominatingly, “I need to know everything about her, regardless of how serious or
light it is.”
Collin frowned, “There is nothing you can do, and knowing might bring you troubles.”
“That’s my concern that you don’t have to worry about.”
Ernest defended, he squinted his eyes and threatened. “If you don’t tell, I will investigate.”
He was staying with the Fraser and was monitored closely. It would easily raise suspicion if he started
investigating.
By then, all the Frasers would know what Collin tried to hide.
He was annoyed, he wanted to choke rence to death and burn his body.
But the truth was, he dare not touch even rence’s hair.
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
He knew he would be the one choked to death and burnt when Florence was awake if he dared to
touch rence…
Collin frowned. He looked serious and opened his mouth.
“I can tell you what happened but you must promise that you won’t let a third party know.”
Collin treated it so seriously, it must be severe.
Ernest became more anxious seeing his response. He nodded, “Of course.”
He was more concerned and nervous than anyone when ites to Florence.
