My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Ernest had walked around the Riverbank Park for three times and didn’t miss any dark corner, but he still couldn’t find Florence.

The longer the time had passed, the more anxious he had become.

It was so late and Florence didn’t take along anything. He wondered where she could be alone.

Would any accident happen to her?

Looking annoyed and standing at the roadside, Ernest called Timothy again. “Have you checked the hospital record? Send someone to check in all the hospitals.”

“Mr. Hawkins...” Timothy wanted to say something but stopped.

He didn’t think an accident would happen to Florence. However, he could feel how anxious Ernest was, so he didn’t say anything. Instead, he followed the order.

He had been working for Ernest for so many years. This was the first time that he saw Ernest so anxious like a duck in a thunderstorm.

It seemed that unconscionably, Florence had become so important to Mr. Hawkins.

Another half an hour passed.

Timothy called and said in an exciting voice, “Hello, Mr. Hawkins, we’ve found Ms. Fraser!”

“Where is she?”

Ernest’s voice couldn’t hide his emotions.

“In Philus Hotel.”

“I’ll be right there.”

Upon hearing Timothy’s report, Ernest turned around and walked out without any hesitation. When he walked to the roadside, he sat in the car that had been waiting for him there.

The driver sent him to Philus Hotel as fast as he could. Timothy had been waiting for Ernest at the entrance of the hotel.

Seeing Ernest, Timothy walked over. “Good evening, Mr. Hawkins.”

“Which room is she in?”

As he said, Ernest already strode into the lobby of the hotel.

Timothy looked hesitant. Then he passed the tablet to Ernest.

“Mr. Hawkins, you may want to check the surveillance video before deciding whether to go upstairs.”
