Bonnie felt even sadder. “Duke Hector, you don’t have to continue acting. Florence has left. You don’t have to do this in front of me. You don’t have to force yourself to marry me. I will make it clear to my father when I go back.”
“What did you say?”
Hector looked at Bonnie in surprise. He didn’t know what happened.
“What’s wrong with you?” he asked worriedly as he approached Bonnie.
Bonnie immediately took two or three steps back in panic and kept a distance from him.
Her face was pale and her voice was choked with sobs.
“I know what you said today is fake. You know that she is leaving. You want her to leave at ease and don’t feel guilty. That’s why you said you liked me and wanted to be with me.
Now that Florence has left, there is no need for us to pretend anymore…”
Hector looked at Bonnie in surprise. “Who said I was pretending?”
He was depressed and didn’t understand why Bonnie suddenly thought so.
He said seriously, “What I said to you today is sincere. I like you, it’s true, I want to marry you, it’s true.”
His firm words stunned Bonnie.
She looked at Hector with a gleam in her eyes. She had prepared for the worst. She was already in hell, but why did he tell her that it was true.
If it was true, she would be the happiest person in the world.
“But…” Bonnie shook her head, tears rolling down. “I can see that you still have Florence in your heart. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been so absent-minded when you watched her leave just now.”
If he didn’t love her, how could he be so reluctant to part with her.
Hector was suddenly enlightened.
It was because of this.
He had no choice but to massaged his temples and explained sincerely, “Bonnie, I was absent-minded just now, because Florence has always been a special existence for me. Now that she leaves, I feel like I have sent away a dream.
I don’t still love her. I just think of what happened these days. Although we can’t be together, she was a special person in my life. ”
He watched her leave because he missed that special day.
That’s it.
Bonnie’s eyes twinkled even more fiercely. “Florence is very special. She is an unforgettable girl. Compared to her, I am too ordinary…”
She was so ordinary that she felt ashamed.
Florence was so excellent, how could she compare with Florence? How could she replace Florence in Hector’s heart?
How could Hector not love Florence and only like her.
“You are not ordinary.”
Hector held Bonnie’s little hand and pressed it against his left chest.
He stared at her and said seriously, “Florence, she is like a bright moon and made people yearn for, but she is also like the moon in the water and people couldn’t approach. You are more like the warm sun, which always contains people’s heart, making people feel warm and real. I like to be with you. This is the feeling of life, and this is the future that is within my reach.”
Every word was like a warm flow into Bonnie’s heart, completely dispelling the doubts and sadness in her heart.
How lucky she was to get Hector’s love.
Her eyes were red and she threw herself into Hector’s arms. Tears kept falling, but they were no longer bitter, but sweet.
Hector looked at the woman in his arms gently and held her tightly.
He looked up at the direction of the tunnel and thought to himself.
“Florence, goodbye.”
—
In the tunnel, the road ahead was dark without light. They could only see the road through the reflection of the car light.
Although the view was poor, they were safe and smooth all the way.
Nestling in Ernest’s arms, Florence asked, “Where is the next medicine? When shall we find it?”
What Florence thought was that they would have a good rest and set off as soon as they got back.
Although it took only three months for them to find Magnolia Liliiflora, they didn’t know how long it would take to find the other two medicines.
Ernest’s eyes darkened and he pursed his lips.
He said slowly, “the position of the medicine hasn’t been determined yet.”
“What?”
Florence was surprised and sat up from Ernest’s arms. Flustered, she asked, “what do you mean? Don’t you know where to find the medicine?”
“Don’t worry,” Ernest comforted her. “We’ve sent people to look for them before we came here. There’s no signal in the Raflad, so we can’t contact the outside. We don’t know if they have any clue.
But it’s been three months. There should be some clues. ”
It turned out to be like this. Florence finally felt a little relieved.
Ernest and the people arranged by Stanford were all very powerful people. They would definitely get some clues after wholeheartedly searching for them for three months.
With this in mind, Florence stayed in the tunnel in a daze for a few days. Finally, she waited until her mobile phone could be connected to the outside signal.
It meant that they would leave here soon.
Florence was most concerned about Ernest. As soon as she got out of the car to have a rest, she ran to Collin.
She asked anxiously, “Collin, have you got any news? Where are Cocoss and Yelo?”
As soon as Collin hung up, he looked at Florence awkwardly.
He said hesitantly, “Florence, don’t worry. These two medicines are both very precious and rare in the world. It’s difficult to find them…”
The more she heard the euphemistic words, the more depressed Florence felt.
She looked at Collin uneasily and said in a panic, “You mean there is no clue yet, right?”
Collin choked, looked at Florence worriedly and nodded stiffly.
The stone hanging in Florence’s heart fell down in an instant.
The heavy impact made her tremble.
The worst result was no clue.
Her face was pale, and she was flustered and flustered.
Collin’s heart ached when she saw this. She comforted, “it’s just that there’s no clue yet. Don’t worry. We’ll find it soon.”
“It’s been more than three months. It’s time to find clues.”
Florence said in a low voice. Her mood completely collapsed.
They hadn’t found any clue in three months, which meant that it might be difficult to find it in another thirty months.
But Ernest didn’t have so much time to wait. If he delayed for one more day, his health would be worse, and it was closer to the date of his death.
“The world is so big. Even if we have many people and strong strength, we can’t find out all the remote corners of the world. It takes a lot of time and work.”
Ernest walked to the back of Florence, put her big hands on her shoulders and explained in a low and calm voice, “Three months is not enough. Back then, it took me more than three months to find the route of the Raflad. Cocoss and Yelo are precious medicines, and it takes more time.”
