Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister

Chapter 261 No Matter What Happened

"What happened to Clara?" Hearing Laura's words, Horace almost yelled at her with growing unease.

Maybe Laura was frightened by him, her eyes were brimming with tears, her body trembled and her

voice shook, "She... when we came in... we saw that she..."

Laura was overwhelmed and said nonsense, which drove Horace crazier.

At this time, a doctor came to check on Clara. Horace grabbed him peevishly and asked, "What

happened to her? Please, what happened to her?"

Being grabbed by the collar, the doctor felt like he couldn't breathe, struggling to bang Horace's arms.

Seeing this, Laura hurriedly ran over to help. She dragged Horace's hand and said, "Horace, stop it, let

the doctor go. He can't talk like this."

Hearing this, Horace released his hands and looked at the doctor, his eyes red.

Maybe the doctor had been through this a lot, he wasn't angry and said after regaining composure,

"What's your relationship with the patient in Room 307?"

"I'm her husband. What happened to my wife?" Horace yelled impatiently.

Hearing Horace's words, the doctor looked at him with a touch of embarrassment and he opened his

mouth without uttering a word, which seemed like he didn't know how to say.

In the end, the doctor said with a long sigh, "You better be prepared for what I'm about to say, you

wife..."

The doctor paused at this and was figuring out the word he was going to use.

Horace stared at the doctor anxiously like a prisoner waiting for a verdict.

"According to our test results earlier, your wife was raped."

"What?" Hearing this, Horace felt like his blood was drained, he took two steps backward and hit the

wall, his whole body sliding to the ground along the wall.

"She's still weak. You need to take good care of her. And don't be too sad." The doctor comforted him a

bit, shook his head, and left without doing rounds, maybe he didn't want to make Horace feel worse.

Sitting slumped on the ground, Horace remembered the video Sean showed him today that Clara's

clothes were being ripped by four men.

He thought that Sean just had people fake it to better threaten him and that he wouldn't do anything to

Clara. He didn't expect that Sean would actually do this.

Horace put his fist through the wall and his hand bled right away. But he couldn't feel any pain as he

held an enormous grudge against Sean at this moment.

"Sean, I'll kill you! No, I'll make your life a living hell!"

Seeing that Horace was hurt, Laura hurried forward, held his hand, and said with love, "Horace, please

don't do this. You hurting yourself won't change anything."

Laura took out a handkerchief from her pocket and got his wound bandaged for now, and said with

tears, "Clara wouldn't want to see you like this when she wakes up."

Hearing Clara's name, Horace looked at the ward with remorse and hurt in his eyes, and mumbled,

"Clara, I'm sorry, it was my fault. I didn't protect you well enough, it was all my fault..."

Hearing Horace blaming himself, Laura looked down with jealousy and sneered in her heart, "How

could you blame yourself? It was her fault."

But a touch of complacency suddenly appeared on Laura's face as it seemed that Horace had bought

her story.

Laura raised her head and said while sobbing, "You didn't see how hopeless she was. When we got

there, her clothes were torn apart and her body was covered with bruises, passing out on the ground..."

Hearing this, Horace couldn't help but picture the scene of Clara being raped by four men like she was

screaming in his ear, "Horace, help me, help me..."

"Enough, stop it!" Horace interrupted Laura sharply and the wound on his hand was ruptured as he

moved too hard, blood bleeding through the handkerchief, which looked horrifying.

"Sorry, Horace. I didn't mean to say that. I just thought she was so desperate and I still feel bad thinking NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

about the way she looked at the warehouse." Laura cried as she said, "How could they do this to her so

cruelly?"

Getting upset by Laura's crying, Horace took several deep breaths, tried to compose himself, and said

to her, "Please just go. I want to be with her by myself."

Hearing his words, Laura had no reason to stay and she stood up to leave.

"Laura." Horace suddenly called to her.

"Yes?" Laura turned over surprisingly and was excited about what Horace was about to say.

"Thank you and Logan for saving her."

Laura was a bit disappointed but still replied, "You don't have to, Clara is also our good friend."

"Sure."

Seeing that Horace had no intention of talking anymore, Laura turned around and left.

Horace sat alone outside the ward for a long time, he wanted to come in and see her but he didn't have

the courage.

He didn't know how to face Clara who had extensive wounds, and he didn't know how to say to her

when she woke up.

Knowing that he couldn't keep running away, Horace eventually stood up and walked toward the ward.

His eyes were brimming with tears when he pushed the door open and saw Clara clearer, and thought,

"It was my fault, I didn't protect you well enough."

Horace walked to her side with watering eyes, sat in the chair beside the bed, and was afraid to reach

out to touch her.

Tears in his eyes finally rolled down and his eyes were clear again, but he would rather have blurred

visions forever.

Clara in front of him looked pale with dry and cracked lips, blood was oozing out of the gauze on her

head and the rest of the skin was covered in bruises.

Horace held her hand to his lips lovingly, his tear rolled down to her hand and then hit the white sheet

along his arm, which left a water stain quickly.

"Babe, I'm sorry. I didn't protect you well enough. I promise I won't let anyone hurt you again. And those

who have hurt you, I'll let them pay."

"Babe, I'll be with you for the rest of my life no matter what happened to you."

Horace looked at Clara in a coma and talked nonstop although he knew that she wouldn't hear, he still

expressed his apology and love and talked about their future.

No matter what happened, he would be there for her forever.
