My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Chapter 319: Ecstasy

Florence said nervously. After all, she also knew that Collin’s temper was strange although he had outstanding medical skill. If it was a general situation, he would not decide to save people. Otherwise, he would not have lived in seclusion in the rural area despite having such exceptional medical skills.

And he had saved Ernest last time. She did not know if he would do it again this time.

“I’m quite interested in intractable diseases, wait for me, I’ll come later.”

Surprisingly, Collin still agreed to it very readily.

Florence was slightly stunned and she hurriedly thanked, “I really don’t know how to thank you.”

“Don’t need to thank me. You only need to remember that you’ve promised me a request. I’ll ask you to do that soon, it isn’t that easy but you must accomplish it.”

Collin’s tone became slightly more serious. It was sort of a reminder.

Florence’s heart tightened. She inexplicably felt that this request would be very difficult for her but she had no other choice.

Compared to Ernest’s life, she would willingly do anything.

After getting the affirmation from Collin, Florence sat in the ward at Ernest’s heels and waited for him in the ward. Her eyes looked at the outside of the room from time to time, hoping that Collin would come earlier.

The good thing was that it did not take long for Collin to arrive.

‘Click’. Collin opened the door and entered.

Timothy came in right behind him and was put in a difficult position, “Sir, he barged in at once so I couldn’t inform you in time.”

When Ernest saw Collin, his gaze instantly darkened.

But, Florence was happy and she immediately stood up from the bedside and walked towards Collin.

“It’s okay, I’m the one who has asked Collin to come over.”

Timothy looked at Ernest with a somewhat complicated expression. He wanted to say something but he stopped in the end. He helplessly walked out.

Perhaps, even Sir also did not expect that Florence would ask Collin to come over. Now, it seemed that it was going to let the cat out of the bag?

Florence was very happy that Collin could come. The things she was worried about in her mind seemed to be able to be solved upon his arrival.

“Collin, do you want coffee or tea?” she asked enthusiastically.

“Coffee, dessert.”

Collin really ordered.

“Have a seat first.”

Florence greeted and immediately went to the small kitchen to prepare for it.

Collin could see the figure who was busily preparing in the kitchen from his place. He could not help but twitch his lips and his tone was a bit sarcastic.

“She’s taking care of you so well that she’s almost catching up with the level of a housemaid.”

What he implied was that Ernest was treating Florence as a housemaid when he gave orders.

Although Collin had saved his life, Ernest did not show a good attitude towards Collin. Because of his intuition as a man, he obviously felt Collin’s threat to his relationship with Florence.

Ernest snorted, “It has nothing to do with you.”

Regarding these things, the first thing was that Florence wanted to do so and secondly, in addition to this, he did now know how to keep Florence around him as a matter of course.

What he wanted was a warm period before he got well.

Collin casually sat on the sofa and was leaning lazily.

But, he gazed at Ernest sharply, “Not necessarily.”

“Keep a distance from Florence, or else, I won’t let you go.”

Ernest threatened with a domineering aura.

At this moment, an ordinary person would probably be very afraid and might prostrate himself. But, Collin still maintained his lazy posture and was still casually leaning on the sofa.

He said with a provocative smile, “What if I don’t? Ernest, there was no winner last time so I’m quite looking forward to fighting you again.”

It was purely just a physical fight last time but this time, it would go to the next level.

It was either survival or death.

Ernest’s eyes grew colder and colder. Even though he was lying on a hospital bed, he looked like a lion that would get up at any moment to pounce on someone.

In the air, the situation was instantly explosive.

As if an explosion would occur with a single touch. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“It’s done, sorry to keep you waiting.”

Florence came over with coffee and dessert. She quickly put all the things on the tea table in front of Collin.

She had to ask for Collin’s help so she treated him nicely. She always maintained a sweet smile on her face.

And the two men instantly turned their eyes away from staring at each other. The explosive situation instantaneously disappeared.

But, the competition that was done secretly had truly gone to the next level.

Collin looked like a genius doctor but in fact, his true identity was unknown. The secrecy had been done extremely well and even Ernest also could not find out anything.

But, it was absolutely certain that Collin’s background was not simple.

This person even had bad intentions for Florence, which made Ernest feel a powerful threat for the first time.

He could not let Florence get too close to him.

“Florence, what for you let him come?”

Ernest asked straight to the point, interrupting the inconsequential conversation between Florence and Collin.

When he mentioned the proper thing, Florence’s eyes lit up.

“Collin has decent medical skills. He can take a look at your injury and perhaps you’ll recover faster.”

“No need.”

Ernest refused directly without even hesitating.

Collin did not change his expression. His lips curled playfully as if this was the answer he expected.

Florence was anxious, “Why? Your wound is recovering slowly, maybe it’s because of doctors’ problem.”

“It isn’t caused by doctors.”

Ernest coldly denied. Seeing Florence’s look in which she would not give up, he added, “It’s because of my constitution. It’ll always be in vain no matter which doctor comes.”

“But, I’ve asked the doctor before and he said that it isn’t caused by your constitution.”

Ernest was speechless. How could that group of doctors be so stupid, they were indeed incompetent teammates!

His handsome face looked really bad.

Collin took a sip of coffee and smiled playfully.

“It’s indeed caused by Mr. Hawkins’s own body.”

Hearing this, Florence’s heart had leapt to her throat. Was it really like what she guessed in which Ernest’s body had other problems that were even more serious?

She was very nervous and she asked hastily, “What’s wrong with his body?”

Collin playfully glanced at Ernest’s face that looked bad, ignored his warning and said directly.

“Even Hua Tuo also can’t save those who don’t wish to get well.”

[Note: Hua Tuo: A well-known doctor in the ancient times.]

Florence was a bit stunned. She did not understand for a moment. What did he mean, what did he mean by he did not wish to get well?

Ernest’s face looked even worse. He spoke with a stiff voice.

“Florence, don’t listen to his nonsense.”

Florence looked askance at Ernest and saw that he was with a cold face. He looked really uneasy as if he had done something and it had been revealed.

What had he done?

Florence was confused. A thought came up as an afterthought.

It was not the doctors’ problem, not the problem of the medicine and was also not because of his constitution. Instead, it was because he himself did not want to get well and he was deliberately delaying his wound from recovering?

Why?

Looking at Ernest’s uneasy look, Ernest’s heart wildly throbbed. A crazy thought popped up, making her feel unbelievable.

But then, the ecstasy that caused one to be on cloud nine popped up.

Was he doing this because of her…
