“Ah!”
The silence in the early morning was broken by Clara’s roar.
“Uh-huh?” Horace raised his eyebrows and then looked at Clara.
“You… What are you doing?” Clara pointed at the things on the bed and felt a bad premonition.
It made Clara a little scared.
Looking at Horace’s smile, Clara knew that nothing good had happened.
“Why did you buy these… ancient costumes?” Clara pointed at the clothes on the bed. At best, they could be considered ancient costumes.
However, they exposed more skin than the normal ancient costumes did.
In this place, it was still possible to buy some ancient costumes. But this type of “sexy costumes”? Yes, also available here.
“I want you to put them on for me.”
Horace looked at Clara with a smile, and then revealed a big grin. Usually, when Horace had something to ask Clara to do, he would have this expression.
“I refuse.” When Clara heard this, she knew that she had guessed correctly, so she just stared at Horace with the quilt on her body as defense.
Clara had never done these things. She didn’t want to do it now, and she didn’t want it in the future.
Horace looked at Clara and knew that this matter could not be forced. He had to let Clara agree on her own.
Horace began to think of a way to let Clara wear it.
However, just as Horace was thinking of a way, Clara had already walked to the bathroom. After a simple wash, she grabbed Horace’s collar and walked out of the room.
“What are you doing?” Horace was confused by Clara.
“Don’t you want to role play? I’m the cop now, and you’re the criminal. You’re arrested.”
“What!”
Horace was brought to the dining room. It turned out that Clara had gotten up early in the morning and was hungry now.
Horace looked like he understood and then looked at Clara who was picking food.
Horace knew that if he wanted Clara to subdue and tempt him in costumes, he could only let Clara owe him a favor first.
However, it seemed that there was nothing for Clara to ask for his help now, so Horace could only put the matter of role play aside temporarily.
When there was a time, he would naturally get his way. It would definitely be very fun.
Clara looked at Horace, who had been overwhelmed by hormones all morning, and said nothign.
Sometimes, Clara really didn’t know what Horace was thinking. How could he think of such a strange thing? In fact, Clara didn’t know that when she talked to the inn keeper in the ancient language that day, Horace had already fallen in love with her acting ancient.
Then, he wanted to make Clara look like an ancient woman and then dote on her. But there was no way. But Clara didn’t cooperate with him now. Horace was helpless and could only look at Clara like this.
After eating, Clara looked at Horace who was fine, and then calmed down.
That “costume and temptation” game really wasn’t her thing at all, so Clara felt really speechless just now. Now that he was fine, then it should not affect their good mood.
Clara thought about it and looked at the many good things on the street. She was suddenly happy. She pulled Horace to buy this and that. Horace was like an obedient maid, handling the purchase for his master and carrying bags behind. In the end, when Clara could not walk anymore and looked back at Horace, she saw a Christmas tree-like Horace with different sizes of bags hanging on his body.
Clara chuckled as she looked at him.
“What are you laughing at?”
“You look so much like my maid.”
With this, she originally thought that Horace would be angry or argue, but Horace did not say anything. He just glanced at Clara and then nodded.
Clara was almost done shopping, so she planned to go back to the inn, but she saw a restaurant that looked full of very delicious food. Thinking about it, it was already noon, so she followed Horace in.
“Hello, can we eat here?” Clara looked at the many dishes on it, but they looked strange, so she asked the boss.
“No, this is something made to copy ancient dishes.” The boss shook his head. After Clara looked at it, she followed Horace.
They originally wanted to stroll around for a while more, but Horace received a call from Isaac.
Horace frowned. Calling when they were traveling?
But he still picked it up to see if there was anything urgent.
“Sir, where are you? Helena Selman is seriously ill. Do you think it necessary to let Mrs. Kirkland come back?” Isaac’s voice was very urgent.
“Okay, I got it.”
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing that Horace’s expression was not good, Clara went forward to ask what was going on. Could it be that something big had happened like what happened during the last trip?
In this case, Clara would really collapse.
“Helena is seriously ill.”
Horace looked at Clara’s eyes and saw her reaction. If Clara did not care, then they could continue to play.
However, if Clara cared about those trivial matters, they could only go back. In the end, Clara could not be ruthless and could only pack up things with Horace and go home.
“Horace, she raised me.” Clara looked at Horace and explained.
Since Helena raised Clara, then Clara had the obligation to look after her. They were both mutual.
“I know.” Horace held Clara’s hand tightly, indicating that Clara should not feel too uncomfortable, and then he was silent all the way.
When they returned home, they did not care to pick up Neo because Logan was there.
Clara went directly to the hospital with Horace. When they arrived, Helena was already in the emergency room.
Clara was waiting anxiously outside.
What Clara disliked the most was the feeling of waiting outside the emergency room. This kind of feeling of loss and helplessness was very tormenting.
“Hello, who is Helena’s family?”
Clara and Horace, who were originally waiting at the door of the emergency room, heard the nurse’s voice and turned around at the same time.
“I am.”
Clara answered, but she was very nervous at the moment. She did not know whether Helena was dead or alive.
“Why are you here? Helena is not in the emergency room. She has been rescued and is now lying in the ward.”
The nurse did not know why Helena’s family was standing here despite Helena being in the ward. Coincidentally, the nurse had seen Clara before, so she came forward to ask.
“Okay, thank you.”
After that, Clara went to the ward with Horace. When the two arrived, Horace went out to pay the fee and left some space for Clara.
Helena originally had no money, but fortunately, Isaac was there at that time, so the nurse did not make things difficult.
Horace found Isaac.
“Sir.” Isaac nodded slightly with a serious expression.
Although he was no longer a bodyguard of the Kirkland family, Horace was his young master for the rest of his life.
“Yes.” Horace nodded and then handed Isaac a check. It was all the money that Helena had just paid.
However, when Horace offered to pay, he would always pay more than the actual number.
Isaac took a look and accepted it.
He knew Horace’s character as Horace did not like to owe people, so he accepted it.
Then, Horace and Isaac sat down and chatted about Isaac’s recent relationship. Isaac looked particularly happy.
After knowing this, Horace was relieved. Then, the two of them sat there silently.
In the ward, Clara looked at Helena who was lying on the bed. Her face was so haggard that even her lips had turned green.
Clara looked at Helena and thought of the past. She tried hard not to shed tears.
In the past, Helena loved her so much, so she had been trying to help Helena cure her illness.
However, she was not her biological daughter after all. How good could she be to her?
Clara raised her head and looked at the ceiling. Then, she smiled bitterly.
Things had already passed, so what was the point of thinking about that? However, her heart could not be stopped.
Step by step, she walked forward and stared at Helena without blinking. She wanted to see how much had changed in Helena recently.
In fact, when she thought about it carefully, Helena did not do anything harmful to her. She just did what a mother should do.
In fact, there was nothing wrong. Why did she send her to the nursing home like that?
Clara shook her head. She did not say anything about the past. Now, Clara wanted to take good care of Helena.
She only hoped that Helena would have a better life in her later years.
