Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 90

Horace frowned. Without saying another word to Darren, he turned his wheelchair and left the ward.

When he got back to Clara's ward, she was sound asleep. Her little face was as pale as the ashen sheet. Seemingly still in pain, her brows furrowed slightly.

Horace's heart ached for her.

"Tell them I won't be in the company these days." Horace lowered his voice and turned to Isaac. " If they have anything to report, let them schedule video conferences or directly come here to me."

"Mr. Kirkland..." Isaac was stunned. In the years he had worked for Horace, he had never seen Horace miss a day's work for anything.

Horace ignored Isaac's words, stopped the wheelchair by Clara's bed, and gently caressed her cheek with his fingers.

Feeling the sudden warmth on her cheek, Clara frowned a little and opened her eyes.

Coming into her blurry vision was the silhouette of an extremely handsome face.

She froze for a second, then quickly tried to sit up, "Horace?"

Horace stopped her. "Don't move. Just lie down."

Clara nodded and obediently laid back down.

"How are you feeling?" Horace asked, trying to hold back his anger.

Although Clara couldn't see the expression on his face, she vaguely felt there was something wrong. "Horace, are you angry or something?"

Horace didn't answer.

Angry?

More like scared.

It was the same fear he had experienced back when he was abroad and heard that his home was on fire.

He had never felt the extreme terror ever since.

Horace held her by the wrist in silence, staring at the burn marks at the back of her hand. His heart was torn into pieces.

"Darren just told me that you went back into the burning house to get something?" Horace asked.

His question reminded Clara of something.

"Oh, right. I went back to get this." She took the pendant off her necklace that she wore with difficulty. "This pendant is important to you, isn't it?"

The slightly cool touch in Horace palm made him look. It was the crystal pendant.

Shocked, he instantly shifted his gaze to Clara, his tone inexplicable, "You went back into the burning house just for this pendant?"

Clara's vision was still a little blurry, so she couldn't tell the expression on his face. "Yeah. As I said, I know it is important to you," she answered honestly.

Horace tightened his grasp on the pendant until his knuckles turned white, completely at a loss for words.

He didn't expect that the thing Clara desperately went back for was this stupid pendant.

The dead silence made Clara a bit anxious. Clara asked, "Horace? Are you okay? Is there something wrong with this pendant? It didn't get burnt in the fire, did it?"

With that, she hurriedly looked down, trying to check the pendant. However, all she could see was a blurry tiny dot.
