Chapter 958: Mercy


    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 dy, 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 me 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 me 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 doctore and check you


    out before I made you faint."


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


    "It has even less to do with you that I had fainted. It was something else that stimted me. All


    right, I don''t me 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 me 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 me 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.


    She turned to Yuna and said joyfully, "See, Ernest doesn''t me you either. It''s all right."


    Yuna was so relieved that she burst into tears.


    She choked with sobs, "Ms. Fraser, thank you for pleading for me. Mr. Hawkins, thank you for your


    mercy."


    She knew very well that if things had gone ording to the rules today, she would have been


    punished and eventually thrown out of the Turner family.


    A servant thrown out of the Turner family would be marked as a criminal and no one would dare hire


    her again.


    Her life would be ruined.


    After a little more talk, Florence sent Yuna down to work.


    She and Ernest walked downstairs alone.


    Florence looked in the direction Yuna had left and teased.


    "Mr. Hawkins, from Timothy down to the maids, they''re all your people. Everything you say matters,


    but they won''t listen to me ."


    Ernest raised an eyebrow and snickered.


    "What? You want your own trusted followerss?"


    Florence''s eyes lit up, "Can I?"


    Although she and Ernest were family and Ernest would never hurt her, it felt good to have someone


    who would only listen to her.


    "Sure."


    Ernest said cheerfully. At Florence''s joyful and expectant look, he ced his broad palm on her t


    belly.


    "This is your trusted followers."


    Florence was suddenly speechless and pped his hand away in exasperation.


    He was teasing her again.


    ...


    In Theodore''s study.


    At the moment, the atmosphere was as chilling as the winter, and the roof seemed to be pressed


    with dark clouds.


    The female doctor stood stiffly in ce, and cold sweat ran down her forehead. She straightened up


    and lowered her head without even daring to raise it.


    She reported what Ernest had said, and then saw Theodore''s face turned livid, and the air pressure


    in the room was terribly low.


    Master was really irritated by Ernest''s attitude.


    Or rather, Master didn''t seem to be looking forward to the arrival of this baby either.


    She guessed that the Turner family would be in for another fight.


    "What are you still doing here? Get out!"


    Theodore scolded grumpily.


    The female doctor shuddered, even didn’t dare to look up, and hurriedly retreated.


    Theodore was the only one left in the room.


    He swung theputer on his desk to the floor in anger.


    Damn it.


    How could she have gotten pregnant with Ernest''s baby now?


    He hadn''t got the Fraser family''s antidote yet and wasn''t absolutely sure it would work for the time


    being, so he couldn''t hurt Ernest just yet, the only one left in the unique bloodline, even if he was so


    arrogant that it almost drive Theodore mad.


    But at least he had three years. If, during this period, he got the Fraser family''s antidote in hand,


    Ernest would no longer be the only one, and he would have no further use.


    Then Theodore could dispose of him.


    If something were to go wrong and he did not take the Fraser family, or if he did not get the antidote


    or failed to do so, he could take the second-best option and keep Ernest alive to open the vault.


    But both options were still up in the air, and Theodore would have to see what happened before


    deciding what to do with Ernest afterward and whether to let him live or let him die.


    But Florence was now pregnant, and the baby to be born was the antidote to Ernest, which threw all


    his ns out of whack.
