My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Chapter 624: Examination

“What?”

All people were too shocked to believe it, their expression changing dramatically.

Theodore frowned deeply, looking at Ernest with a complicated expression.

Then he asked in a deep voice, “What did Benjamin mean by saying that?”

Benjamin was already ruined. If Ernest lost his birth ability, and the Turner family never educated more heir candidates, it meant that there would be no successor for the Turner family for sure.

Florence’s hand that was gripping Ernest’s suddenly tightened.

Instantly, her face turned as pale as a piece of blank paper.

When she was forced to marry Benjamin, Ernest took the sterile drug given by Benjamin to save her. The drug effect worked immediately, making him hardly wished to live.

In the past few weeks, Florence deliberately tried to forget about it. She didn’t want to think about it and nor did she want to mention it. She just wished that Ernest and she could be together forever.

However, she had never expected that Benjamin would disclose it in front of so many people.

Florence could accept to have no baby, but Ernest was the successor of the Turner family. He must have a child to inherit the family.

Otherwise, Ernest would still be abolished and experience cruel punishment.

Most of the time, Florence disgusted the Turner family for its ruthless rules.

“It’s alright.”

Ernest noticed Florence’s mood change. He turned to look at her with deep and tender eyes, “The drug didn’t take effect fully in my body at that time. Collin had already drawn my blood for a checkup. After the result comes out, we’ll be confirmed if I have completely lost the ability.”

Hence, nothing was certain yet.

A ray of hope rose in Florence’s sinking heart. Her eyes twinkled, and she felt quite uneasy.

She was also touched in surprise.

It turned out that when she tried not to mention this matter, Ernest had already asked Collin to give me the examination. If she had known that there would be hope, she would have asked him about it earlier instead of making him uneasy all by himself.

Florence held Ernest’s hand tightly.

She said determinedly, stressing each syllable, “No matter what the result would be, I’ll be with you forever.”

She didn’t lower her voice, so all people around them had heard her words.

Ernest’s eyes were full of tenderness.

The elders from the Turner family had different expressions as they had their own schemes inwardly.

Stanford’s face became extremely darkened.

He gazed at Florence and Ernest deeply, waves of anger surging in his heart.

He complained that Florence was so generous - even if Ernest couldn’t have a child, she still wanted to be with him, didn’t she?

He believed that Florence was way too naive.

Since Florence was too silly, Stanford believed that he should protect her. If Ernest had lost the birth ability completely, no matter what, Stanford would separate them for sure.

“It couldn’t be! The drug takes effect as soon as it’s put into the mouth. Ernest Hawkins had obvious reactions as soon as he took it. His health was damaged. It will be impossible for him to have a child. Absolutely impossible!” Benjamin yelled in certainty.

Even if he had been stepped into the mud, he wouldn’t let Ernest lead a happy life.

“Just wait for Collin’s examination result. Anyway, no matter what the result is, it will have nothing to do with you!”

Stanford walked to Benjamin, looking down at him.

His eyes were arctic cold.

Waving his hand, Stanford ordered impatiently, “Take him away.”

Benjamin shook tremendously, almost blacking out.

If he was taken away, he would definitely be doomed.

He would be tortured to death by Stanford, and the Turner family would never protect him again.

“No, Master! Ernest has lost his birth ability certainly! If he became the master, our Turner family would have no later generations at all! For our family’s development, you must save. Please save me...” Benjamin roared excitedly.

However, the bodyguards who were carrying the stretcher pressed him down expressionlessly, walking away.

Benjamin’s miserable yell became further and further.

It also became lighter and lighter.

It made less and less sense to all people of the Turner family.

Whether Ernest had lost his birth ability, it was an extremely essential matter of his succession right. However, Benjamin had completely pissed off Stanford - he deserved to die.

“I watched Benjamin grown up since his childhood. I also educated him myself. Before taking his life away, could you please allow me to meet him for the last chance?” the gray-haired elder said in a loud voice when watching Benjamin be carried away.

His voice was quite loud, so Benjamin heard what he said from afar.

He tried his best to turn around and looked into the gray-haired elder’s eyes.

Benjamin couldn’t see them clearly, but his deep gaze touched his heart.

The gray-haired elder was a master, Aldrich Turner, in the Turner family and was only inferior to Theodore Turner. He started educating Benjamin since Benjamin was a kid. Aldrich brought up Benjamin in person and made him become what he was today. He was also the man who had put great expectations on Benjamin and supported him the most.

Aldrich was a stubborn man with clear purposes. If he still believed that Ernest wasn’t qualified to inherit the Turner family, he wouldn’t give up on Benjamin easily.

Hence, Benjamin believed that he still had the chance if he put the hope on Aldrich...

A ray of hope rose in Benjamin’s dimmed eyes.

Stanford curled up his lips into a sneer.

He said in an extremely disdainful and ironic tone, “Anyway, I’m not going to kill him immediately. I’ll torture him for another period of time. If you want to see him, I can arrange it. It doesn’t matter.”

As he spoke, Stanford glanced through all the Turners at the scene with a threatening look.

He said in an arrogant and aggressive tone, stressing each syllable, “No matter who else wanted to watch, please feel free. You can see in person what he would end up to since he has the balls to hurt the little princess of our Fraser family!”

His words were like a slip in the gray-haired elder’s face. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Instantly, Aldrich pulled a wrinkled long face, waves of anger piled up one after another.

Today, he as well as the Turner family had been seriously humiliated and forced, but none of them dared to utter a beep.

How ashamed!

If Ernest truly would inherit the Turner family, Aldrich wondered if the Turner family’s name would be changed to Fraser.

He gritted his teeth, looking at others, and said, “Since it’s not confirmed if Ernest Hawkins has lost his birth ability or lot, we can decide the heir after the result comes out.”

Before giving others any chance to consider or object to his suggestion, he added, “When will the examination result come out? It’s an important matter. It can’t be delayed for a long time. By the way, the doctor of our Turner family is also an important figure in the medical field. Probably he could have any way to cure Ernest Hawkins. Shall we call him over and do a checkup as well?”

Aldrich didn’t believe the result from Collin’s examination.

None of them would suspect Collin’s medical skills, but the Fraser family was now supporting Ernest. Aldrich believed that Collin would probably fake the result for the sake of the Frasers.

In that case, Ernest would still inherit the family although he had lost his birth ability, which was not allowed absolutely!
