Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 264

Horace just said Laura saved her and he was going to thank her which meant he had believed Laura for what she said. If Clara told him that it was Laura who kidnapped her, then what would he think of her? To frame Laura?

"What's wrong? Is there something you want to say to me?" Seeing that Clara was teetering on the edge of saying something, Horace asked gently.

Clara decided to not tell Horace about this at a second thought and tell him later after she figured it out with proof.

"No, I'm just thinking how lucky I was that Logan saved me at the last minute, or I was not sure what would happen."

"Lucky?" Horace didn't understand why she would use this word.

"Yeah, was I not lucky?" Clara was confused about Horace's question, "Logan made it in time and saved me, otherwise..."

Clara remembered the scene at the warehouse with tears as she said it. She looked down with her tears rolling down to the quilt, bit her lower lip, and said with a deep breath, "Otherwise I would be raped."

Hearing her words, Horace was more puzzled as it seemed that she wasn't raped according to what she said.

But Laura said she saw her there looking like being raped when she arrived. And the doctor had already checked, then what was going on? Clara seemed like she didn't remember what happened before.

Seeing her crying, Horace still had doubts, but he didn't want to upset Clara again by asking more.

Horace wiped the tears on her face with his thumb gently despite his doubts, "Don't cry, we won't talk about this again. Get some rest, okay?"

"Okay." Clara nodded slightly and held back her tears by closing her eyes.

Horace helped her lie down carefully and took another tissue to wipe her tears, "Get some sleep and everything will be fine."

Clara might be tired after crying this much, she fell asleep in a while, grabbing his hand.

When she was asleep, Horace slowly pulled out his numb arm and kneaded it. Looking at her asleep, Horace held the bedside, kissed her cheek, and said in her ear gently, "I love you, no matter what."

He looked up at her for a bit, tucked her in nicely, and then stood up to leave.

Horace saw Isaac standing outside when he walked out.

Isaac was already at the hospital but saw Horace in Clara's ward so he waited outside as he didn't want to interrupt. Seeing that Horace had walked out, Isaac took a step forward hurriedly and said, "Sir, the board..."

"Come to the doctor's office with me." Horace turned around and walked towards the doctor's office before Isaac could finish his words, Isaac had no choice but to keep up with him.
