Florence’s words were like small stones, smashing into the lake in Bonnie’s heart and bringing ripples to the originally quiet lake.
The ripples became bigger and bigger.
She was depressed and sad, and gradually it became a firm decision.
“Florence, I…” Bonnie gritted her teeth. “I’m going to find Duke Hector. Even if he doesn’t see me, I’ll go to see him. Even if I can’t comfort him, I want to accompany him.”
The girl finally made up her mind.
Florence breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she managed to persuade Bonnie.
Hector might not have realized his feelings for her, but since he had some feelings for her, as long as one of them took the initiative, they will be together sooner or later.
If Bonnie went there, maybe the two of them would get a happy ending.
Florence patted Bonnie on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Come on! For the one you love!”
The one she loved?
Bonnie felt as if she had got an electric shock. Her face turned red, but Hector’s face flashed through her mind involuntarily.
He was the one she loved.
It had been four days since Hector left. In the past few days, Hector was still injured and sad. Nobody knew how he was now.
Bonnie was so worried that she didn’t stay long and rushed to Duke Hector’s house.
On the way, she had done a lot of psychological construction in her heart. She had thought that if Hector didn’t see her, she had to hold on even if she was not allowed to enter the house.
This time, she must go to Hector’s side and accompany him through the most difficult moment.
However, to Bonnie’s surprise, when she arrived at Duke Hector’s house, she wasn’t stopped or refused politely as she had imagined–
“Miss Bonnie, you’re finally here! Come and help us persuade Duke Hector. If it goes on like this, he’ll be in poor health.”
When Hector’s subordinate saw Bonnie, he was like seeing a saviour. He hurriedly pulled Bonnie inside.
Bonnie didn’t know what was going on, but his heart sank.
She asked worriedly, “what’s wrong with Duke Hector?”
“You will know when you see him. Alas.”
It seemed that there was a cloud above his head.
Bonnie was even more worried. She sped up and ran inside. When she entered the hall, she saw a scene that she would never forget in her life.
The spacious hall was now in a mess. Empty bottles were threw everywhere on the table and ground, and there was almost no place to walk.
The room was filled with a strong smell of alcohol.
Hector, on the other hand, was sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall and gulping down a bottle of wine.
The wine kept running down from his lips to his clothes and wetted them.
What made people shocking was that there was a large amount of blood on his chest. It was hard to tell how long it had been stained.
Bonnie took a deep breath and felt her hands and feet cold in an instant.
Hector’s wound reopened again, and he was stained with blood!
It had been so many days, but her injury did not get better, and it was getting worse!
However, he didn’t seem to care about it at all, as if he didn’t feel any pain. He just took a sip of wine.
His eyes were empty, and they weren’t bright as usual.
Tears welled up in Bonnie’s eyes. She covered her mouth to stop herself from crying.
She didn’t expect that the vigorous and unrestrained Duke Hector would suddenly become like this, which was so cruel that she felt as if a knife were piercing her heart.
The man said in a heavy voice, “After coming back from Andrew’s house, Duke Hector drank every day. He is so drunk that he falls asleep unconsciously. When he wakes up, he continues to drink, not intending to wake himself up for a moment. But he is injured and shouldn’t drink.
His wound got more and more serious these two days, but he didn’t let the doctor deal with them. Anyone who dared to go in would be beaten out, and no one could persuade him.
Miss Bonnie, I really have no choice. If it goes on like this, Duke Hector’s body will completely collapse. Some time ago, you were taking care of Duke Hector, and he was good to you. You can do good to the end, and then help persuade Duke Hector, okay?” The man begged her.
Tears streamed down Bonnie’s cheeks.
In the past few days, Hector had drunk in a quite uninhibited manner. He was an unruly and unrestrained man, but he used alcohol to paralyze himself. How painful and sad he was.
But he had to bear it alone these days.
“Duke Hector…”
Bonnie walked inside with tears in her eyes. She felt like there was a big stone in her throat, choking with pain.
Hector gulped down the wine, completely unaware of Bonnie’s arrival.
In other words, at this moment, he could see nothing but wine.
It was only a few steps, but Bonnie seemed to have crossed several centuries, slowly and hard.
She felt a dull pain in her heart.
After a long time, she finally walked to Hector’s side and squatted in front of him, her fingers trembling slightly towards his body.
Her voice was full of tears. “Duke Hector, stop drinking. Your wound reopened again.”
Hector turned a deaf ear to her. She was right in front of him, but he seemed not to see her at all.
Gritting her teeth tightly, Bonnie felt heartbroken. She couldn’t help but think that if the person who came at this moment was Florence, Hector would see her.
For him, Florence was the one he loved, while she was just an insignificant person.
But even though she knew it so clearly, she still couldn’t let him go.
“Stop drinking. Give me the bottle.”
Bonnie reached out and held Hector’s bottle.
Hector opened his mouth but didn’t pour the wine into it. He cursed angrily, “Fuck off!”
The cold rebuke made Bonnie’s tense body tremble all of a sudden.
When Bonnie was stunned, Hector took the bottle and continued to drink.
He didn’t even look at Bonnie from beginning to end.
The man standing at the door shook his head and sighed.
Still so.
This had happened in the past few days. As long as they got close to Duke Hector, they would be scolded and driven away. At first, they thought that Bonnie had taken good care of Duke Hector and she might be different for him.
After all, he thought too much. Bonnie was no different from them. The only woman that Duke Hector specially treated was only Florence.
But Florence was the wound in his heart.
Bonnie sat there stiffly, staring at Hector.
Her heart ached as if someone had dug a hole in it.
She couldn’t help but want to stand up and run away. She couldn’t bear that Hector ignored her and was so indifferent.
However, she seemed to be frozen and didn’t even move her feet.
