Chapter 691: Advice
As she spoke, the woman reached out to take the medicine from Ernest’s hand.
Florence subconsciously tightened her body, full of resistance. This woman was the cause of her injury. If the woman would put
the medicine on her, Florence was afraid that she might poison her.
When the woman’s hand almost reached the medicine, Ernest suddenly looked up, staring daggers at her.
The woman was so scared that she immediately paused.
By instinct, she felt frightened. She trembled and took a step back.
In a weak tone, she explained, “Mr. Hawkins, although she’s your younger sister, there should be no physical contact between a
man and a woman except between a man and his wife. You shouldn’t do it...”
The more she spoke, the weaker her tone became. However, she was quite determined when reminding them.
It showed that the idea was deeply ingrained in her mind.
Ernest frowned impatiently. He never cared what others thought when doing things.
However...
He pinched the medicine bottle tightly and then released it a bit, standing up.
He said in a cold tone, “Find a smart woman who acts gently.”
He didn’t want to let this woman take care of Florence.
Florence looked at Ernest in surprise. She didn’t expect that he would really allow others to deal with her wound.
In the past, when she had any injury, even just a minor one, he would deal with it by himself and even didn’t allow Collin to do it.
Florence couldn’t understand what was in Ernest’s mind now.
The woman immediately agreed. As long as Ernest wouldn’t deal with Florence’s wound by himself, which was quite immoral in
her opinion, she would be delighted.
Immediately, she yelled towards the outside, “Bonnie, come in!”
“Okay.”
They heard a woman answer from not afar. Soon, a young girl who looked the same age as Florence came in.
Her skin was fair and her features were delicate and pretty, looking like an obedient gentlewoman.
“Mom, what can I do for you?”
She was standing at the door with her head lowered, too shy to look at others.
She looked extremely timid.
Florence was a bit surprised. She didn’t expect that such a gentle girl would be the woman’s daughter.
The woman was a shrew and her daughter was a gentlewoman, which was too different. Florence wondered how the woman
could raise such an obedient daughter.
The woman said in a rough voice, “Go ahead and deal with Florence’s wound.”
“Ehn. All right.”
Bonnie raised her head and looked at Florence. However, by accident, she saw Ernest who was standing next to Florence.
The man’s handsome face and natural overbearing and noble manners made him like a god under the halo.
The man's handsome facial features, natural overbearing noble, just like the God of light, let her dazzle in an instant. Bonnie was
dazzled in an instant.
She couldn’t help but gaze at Ernest.
Noticing her gaze, Florence frowned in depression. Ernest was way too good-looking. Women were always easily attracted by
him.
Ernest didn’t care about Bonnie’s gaze at all as if he didn’t see it.
He asked in a cold tone, “Can you deal with the wound?”
“Yes, I can.”
Bonnie immediately nodded, blushing, “I’ve learned how to deal with wounds. Please don’t worry, Mr. Hawkins. I can deal with
this minor injury.”
It wasn’t until then did Ernest pass the medicine bottle to Bonnie.
Bonnie reached out to take it over delightfully. When her fingers were about to touch Ernest’s hand unintentionally, Ernest
immediately withdrew his hand.
He looked quite cold and proud and didn’t even spread her a single glance.
He said to Florence in a gentle tone, “Just tolerate it. You’ll be fine soon.”
Florence was quite upset as if a heavy stone was pressing on her chest.
She didn’t know what Ernest was planning, but she wouldn’t disobey him at this moment.
She nodded in depression, “Okay.”
Bonnie was still gazing at Ernest obsessively. Her eyes winkled, almost glued on him.
This man treated his younger sister so gently. He was completely different from the men from their country.
The most important was that he was way too handsome.
How Bonnie wished that she could marry Ernest.
“Why are you still standing there motionlessly? Go ahead do it!” Ernest turned to Bonnie and urged her impatiently.
His eyes were full of coldness, completely different from his expression when he was talking to Florence.
Bonnie suddenly sobered up by his coldness.
This man was so outstanding, but Bonnie didn’t think she deserved him upon her identity.
Feeling quite disappointed and reluctant, she gritted her teeth and took the medicine to the bed. Then she started dealing with
the wound for Florence skillfully.
The woman said in flattery, “Mr. Hawkins, why don’t you leave everything to Bonnie? The wound smells bloody, quite unpleasant.
We can leave the room now.”
Florence was speechless, feeling so shocked at what the woman said.
She was the one injured, but how could her wound become an unpleasant thing?
She wondered what kind of idea it was.
“By the way, Andrew is still waiting for you,” the woman added.
Ernest’s eyes were darkened. He looked at Florence in complication.
After hesitating for a moment, he said in a deep tone, “After the wound is dealt with, just take a nap in the room. Don’t go
anywhere. I’ll come back later.”
Florence looked at Ernest in a daze and didn’t know how to react.
Ernest’s eyes were darkened when he saw Florence’s look. His thin lips parted but eventually, he didn’t utter any word.
Pressing his lips, he turned around and walked out of the room.
He walked quite stiffly and fast as if he was escaping from here.
Florence gazed at the door curtain, her mind in a mess as if there were a lot of tangled threads. She felt so irritated.
Ernest told her earlier the Magnolia Liliiflora had been found and he would get it in a few days.
However, she didn’t what on earth was going on. She didn’t know much about this country and this family, and nor did she know
how Ernest would manage to get the Magnolia Liliiflora.
She knew nothing.
She also felt that Ernest was hiding something from her.
“Hiss...”
Suddenly, Florence felt a sharp pain in her arm, which brought her back to her senses.
Bonnie was wiping Florence’s wound with the cotton swab heavily.
Florence grabbed her hand immediately, “Be gentle.”
She was afraid that her wound would become more serious before getting better.
Bonnie looked quite weak, but she grabbed Florence’s hand and pulled it away.
She said, “Just a little pain. You can tolerate it. We’re both women. You can’t be too squeamish.”
Florence gaped at her in surprise.
She didn’t understand why a woman couldn’t be squeamish.
Bonnie was kind of impatient.
Looking up at Florence, she said, “Florence Fraser, although you are Ernest’s younger sister, you can’t imagine that you would
become superior because of him. Besides, you are an outsider. Our country wouldn’t accept you
“You won’t have a good life or be treated well in this country. After Ernest had finished his work, you’d better leave here.”
Bonnie was speaking to her quite honestly just like giving her advice sincerely.
However, Florence was completely confused by what she said. She didn’t understand what Bonnie meant.
She just got a key point, so she asked, “Do you know what work Ernest is doing?”
Generally speaking, the Magnolia Liliiflora should be a treasure in Raflad. Ernest came here for it, so he wouldn’t tell others
easily.
Bonnie shouldn’t have known anything about it.
Hence, Florence wondered what kind of “work” Bonnie was talking about.
