Chapter 110: Gratitude and Determination
In the silence, the young Count Henri de Lagerche-Treville watched with astonishment as the two close friends discussed with a smile.
They chuckled and discussed where they would sleep tonight, as if nothing had happened, just a laugh between friends, and a few paces away lay a young man who had been shot and was bleeding.
Not many men, even men, can be so calm. Henry thought to himself.
After these few short minutes, his previous impression of these two women had been completely reversed, and he no longer dared to look at them with his previous eyes. They're all too powerful to be dealt with carelessly.
"I'll go out and call the doctor later." After the two of them finished laughing, he said astringently, "I know a reliable doctor, he has a good relationship with me, and he has a good way of dealing with external injuries, and he should be able to cure him." In addition, he is very strict and does not talk nonsense......"
"That's great." Fran smiled slightly, "I'm glad you were so helpful. ”
"That's what I'm supposed to do." Hyung wiped the sweat from his forehead with his handkerchief again, then looked at Fran again, "So what are you going to do with him after you cure him?" Keep him locked up here, or let him go? ”
The question made Fran slightly embarrassed, and she turned her gaze to Mary with some difficulty.
"You can't just let him go." Mary immediately expressed her opinion, "He knows so many things, and he intends to disadvantage his husband, what if he just lets him go, and he goes out to make a big fuss?" Do we still have to do our business? Besides...... You shot him like that. Will he be convinced? I'm afraid that as soon as he lets him go, he will think about how to retaliate. ”
Fran nodded silently. Admitting that Mary has a point.
"You're right, I can't let him go so soon. At least until we're done. ”
Obviously, this is the first time that her brother has entrusted her with an errand, and she can't allow herself to make any mistakes, and if she lets Ezreal go early, maybe he will break the news somewhere, and expose the inside story of the collusion between the Tréville family and the de Beauvan family, although it will not affect her brother's future, but this time her errand will be difficult to do - this is absolutely unacceptable.
If the first thing that my brother handed over to him went wrong, what face would he have to ask him to value himself more in the future?
But keeping it in secrecy is not a good solution. There are a lot of people here. Although she has booked this room for a long time, she is not sure when someone will find out the secret of this room, and God knows what kind of rumors will spread when the time comes......
For a moment, Fran was in a dilemma, and hesitated slightly.
Because of the situation, she was decisive and resolute when she fired, and did not hesitate at all, but after being safe, what to do with Ezreal became a big problem. She didn't have time to dwell on the question as she fired. It's really hard to deal with now.
"Or we'll ......," Mary pursed slightly.
If you just look at her expression, I'm afraid you won't understand the cruel meaning of her words.
"No—no, I said I couldn't kill him, at least not this time." Fran immediately shook her head.
Mary looked at Fran in bewilderment. I don't understand how she could be so hesitant and hesitant now. Left and right are just an illegitimate child, do you need to care about it so much?
She didn't understand the secrets of the previous generation of the Tréville family, so she couldn't figure out where her friend's hesitation and entanglement came from.
"Alright. Anyway, at least I can't do that this time......" Fran repeated. As if convincing himself, "He has done so much for me." I can't get to that point. ”
Could this kid really be her lover? When he heard Miss Tréville's words, Henry glanced at the people on the floor with some suspicion, but said nothing.
"If you're willing to give him a chance, I'll give it to you, I'm okay with that." Mary shrugged her shoulders and said she didn't want to argue with her friend, "But we can't do nothing, can we?" So what do you think you should do with him? ”
"What should I do......" Fran's head shook slightly, and she kept thinking about it, as if she was thinking about how to paint, and it looked really cute.
Her gaze wandered, from the table and chair to the carpet, to the blond youth, and finally to Henry, who was standing nervously beside her.
"I thought of it!" Her eyes suddenly lit up.
"What?" Henry shuddered a little at the sight she stared at him.
"Sir, since you have helped us so much, then...... I'm still cheeky enough to ask you to give me another favor without any expense. ”
"Still want to help?" Henry was taken aback and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he resisted the urge in the end.
"Okay, so how are you going me to help you?"
"I would like to ask you to secretly put him on a ship to the New World after the doctor has healed his wounds." Fran didn't sell it, but directly said his request, "I think only you can help me here, after all, you know so many people in the port, there must be a way to help me do it......"
Henry was silent again.
It is true that many of his friends who were in the navy in the past turned to the civilian sector to engage in shipping after quitting the navy, and before the domestic economy was not in a good recession, there were always people who dragged their families or went bankrupt alone to buy tickets to the Americas, intending to try their luck there, so it would not be difficult for him to stuff this young man into a good friend's ship and transport him to the Americas.
"I guess that's more convenient for you, right? Keep this person with you, and he may get you into trouble at any time, but it's a hundred times since he was sent to the New World, and you don't have to worry about his problems anymore. Fran continued, "Why does it take a month or two to get from here to America?" Once there, it will take him the same amount of time to come back if he wants to, and in a few months, I will be done...... He won't be able to cause me and you any more trouble then. ”
"Good idea." Before Henry could say his opinion, Mary suddenly spoke, "Just take all the money from him, he was sent to the New World penniless, even if you want to come back at that time, it will take a long time to earn a ticket back home, right?" ”
"It will take a long time...... Henry agreed with them, after a moment's consideration.
This is indeed a very good solution for him, to send this young man away after healing his injuries, and no matter what he does in the future, it has nothing to do with him, and he does not need to take responsibility.
"What do you think of my proposal, sir?" Fran asked with a smile.
"I completely agree with you." Henry bowed down and paid her courtesy, "Allow me to express my sincere admiration for your wisdom. ”
"You're so kind." Fran's face flushed slightly, obviously not quite used to this kind of polite words from others, "Then please help me more, I really don't know how to express my gratitude......"
In the soft candlelight, her reddish cheeks are soft and soothing, and she looks really charming.
Even though he had seen what she had done now, Henry still couldn't help but wonder if he had misunderstood her, because she really didn't look like someone who could do such a thing.
It wasn't until a moment later that he came back to his senses.
What a beautiful person, I really don't know how many people can be fooled!
Without further ado, he turned and left the room, hurrying to leave the hotel and call the doctor to save the life of a young man.
After he was gone, Mary and Fran were not idle, they found a few ribbons, and then walked over to Ezreal, who was still unconscious, and leaned over to tie his hands and feet with them.
Although their movements were light, Ezreal slowly opened his eyes.
He didn't struggle much, and it was clear that the injury had deprived him of mobility. At the same time, due to excessive blood loss, his face was very pale and his eyes were very distracted, and finally he finally focused on Fran.
Tears suddenly flashed in the corners of his eyes, as if to question her why she would do such a thing to a sincere self.
This gaze was so sad that Fran subconsciously stopped her hand for a moment.
This person treated himself with sincerity, helped himself so much, and only wanted to make himself happy without asking for anything in return, but he reciprocated with a bang...... I'm afraid this shot broke his heart too.
A rare sense of guilt made her hang her head, trying to avoid the other party's gaze.
"I'm sorry." She whispered.
Ezreal suddenly gasped violently, muttering to himself.
"I'm ...... I'm ......."
"I know, don't say it, I can guess it......" Before he could say the whole thing, Fran laughed lightly, but there was not much smile in his eyes, "But it doesn't matter anymore, I only have one real brother, I can't allow you to threaten him, it was wrong for me to tempt you to go against him before, now ...... Your tasks and obligations have been lifted. If you really want me to be happy, then please don't bother us, and I wish you a happy life where you can't see us...... I'm so sorry for you, but I have to do what I have to do. My brother spared you once, and I spared you once, this is our last mercy, please cherish it. ”
With that, as if she had gained some strength, she suddenly raised her head and looked directly at Ezreal.
"I will thank you for your sincerity, Mr. Walter."
With that, she shoved the silk scarf into Ezreal's mouth, not wanting to hear the rest of his words again. (To be continued.) )
