My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Rodgers pointed at a weedy path in front of him, “Follow this path, and we should leave this area. I’ll get you to another hiding spot. They won’t find us, at least for a while.”

Clarence even arranged another hiding spot for her.

Clarence had been considering all sorts of possibilities for her before he left.

Florence frowned. Perhaps Clarence knew she wasn’t going to come back when he left. So, he prepared so many backup plans for her.

Florence owed too much to Clarence.

Florence shook away her guiltiness and earnestly said to Rodgers, “Sorry for the troubles.”

“Don’t bother. I didn’t do it for nothing. Clarence paid me a good sum of money that could change my life.”

Rodgers laughed sincerely without hiding anything from Florence.

It was a favour and a trade.

Florence felt grateful either way. She hesitated and asked, “Do you know how’s Clarence doing now?”

Rodgers showed his worry. He answered Florence softly, “I’m not sure. He told me that if he didn’t come back, I must get you out of there and take care of you.”

Florence was disappointed.

Even Rodgers didn’t know how Clarence was doing. Florence didn’t know who she could ask anymore.

Florence hesitated and asked nervously, “After we leave here and landed in a safe place, could you please help me to ask around and see how Clarence is doing? Even if it is just a little piece of information is better than nothing.”

When Rodgers was about to answer Florence, a strange and cold voice rose from afar.

“No need to ask around. I can tell you what happened to Clarence.”

These words came out from the man’s mouth word-by-word like he was chewing them.

Florence was stunned by the malicious words the man said.

She turned around in fear and saw a man in a wheelchair at the end of the weedy path.

The man’s face was wrapped in thick gauze. Florence could only see his eyes and mouth. There was a machine sticking on the man’s neck. It vibrated as the man spoke, and produced a robotic voice.
