My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 781

"But, but ......" Stanley looked frantic and unwilling, "The king summoned you. You had no time to know that I was coming here, and you weren't supposed to know that I was going to hurt Florence! How could you come here so timely?"

He had foreseen everything.

Taking advantage of Hector's entry into the palace, he came to capture Florence by surprise while everything was still in chaos.

Hector had no time to get prepared and he shouldn’t have been here either.

Looking at the certainty in Stanley's eyes, Hector's was shocked, and his gaze was complicated as he looked at Ernest.

He was indeed going to the palace to meet with the king, and it was a private and urgent summons to discuss matters of the state.

But just as he was on his way there, Bonnie suddenly came running to stop him.

Bonnie told Hector that Stanley wanted to harm Florence and asked him to bring his guards.

What happened today was not that Stanley had miscalculated, but that Ernest, long ago, had seen through all of Stanley's plans!

He even lured him into the trap by putting his plan into action.

He captured Stanley alive on the charge of murdering the King!

With this charge, Stanley had lost all chances and would gain no support from the people either emotionally or logically. Even if his supporters wanted to save him and rebel, they could not find a reason to do so.

Such an outcome was equally shocking and unexpected to Hector.

He had thought it would be a tragic coup and had prepared himself for a long-term battle, but he couldn’t imagine that Ernest subsided the storm with such a thunderous move as soon as Stanley rose the storm.

It was so fast that people's jaws dropped.

Considering his intelligence and thinking, was Ernest really just an ordinary person as others?

While admiring, for the first time, Hector began to have doubts about Ernest's identity.

"Duke Hector, you've lost so much blood. How are you, can you still hold on?"

In between thoughts, the woman's worried voice that was almost on the verge of tears came from the other side.

Only to see Bonnie rushing to Hector's front, panicking and holding white tissues to wipe the blood that was bubbling out of his chest, her whole little face was white with fear.

Her eyes were full of tears and worry.

Hector froze for a moment, only then did he feel again, the intense pain of his wound.

Although Ernest had stabbed him as a matter of expediency, this wound was real, the kind that hurt so much that it made people doubt their lives.

His tall body swayed slightly, slightly unsteady on his feet.

Bonnie's face turned pale with fear, and without thinking too much, she instinctively wrapped Hector's waist around her.

Crying out, "Don't scare me, Duke Hector. Don't die, please don't die ......"

The tragic cries made Hector feel as if he was so badly injured that he seemed to be dying.

But he did not hurt the critical part.

It's just that the pain was unbearable.

Hector stood with the support of Bonnie, but he looked up at Florence, who was not far away, and reached out his hand towards her feebly.

"Florence, my wound hurts so much. I feel like I'm going to die, come and have a look."

From the real knife fight to Hector's stabbing, it all happened so fast, and the change was so surprising.

Florence stood dumbfounded, and was only brought back by Hector's shout.

Looking at Hector's bloodstained, haggard and frail appearance, her heart tightened.

She knew that Ernest had been jealous recently and had held back every day to avoid killing Hector.

With such a good opportunity today, he could very well kill two birds with one stone and end Hector.

The dagger was inserted in the chest...

Florence's heart suddenly went cold, and she said in some panic, "Call a doctor, call a doctor."
