Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister

Chapter 213 Aftermath

Almost all the media were present at the scene to report the abduction, but unexpectedly they had all

broadcasted Horace walking! This was even more exciting than the abduction case itself, and of

course, Horace would not be able to get off of it easily.

For a time, major social media were full of reports and videos about this incident. In just half a day, the

fact that Horace was not disabled spread throughout the city.

When Clara woke up, it was already midnight. After looking around, she realized that she was in the

hospital.

Looking sideways, she saw that Horace was already asleep beside her bed. It's just that he didn't seem

to have a sound sleep. His eyebrows were frowning, and the corners of his mouth were also

downwards. He was tired but he was not relaxed at all even in his sleep.

Clara raised her hand, trying to smoothen his furrowed brows, but her body was still numb from the

coma, and she could not even move her arm.

She was afraid of waking up Horace, so she kept still.

"Clara, Clara..."

Horace seemed to be having a nightmare and kept mumbling her name in a low voice. He must have

been frightened by what happened during the day.

"It's alright. I'm here." Clara comforted Horace in a low voice, raised a hand, and stroked his head

gently.

Maybe it was because her movements were a little stiff, Horace woke up.

As their eyes met, they both discovered worry and fear in each other's eyes. The horrible incident just

now had made them both exhausted.

Looking at each other for a moment, Horace hugged Clara in his arms. He almost pressed her into his

chest, as he was so afraid of losing her. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Horace, could you loosen your grip a bit?"

But instead, Horace tightened his arms.

"Horace, it hurts."

It wasn't until Clara cried out in pain that Horace finally slowly loosened his grape.

The two hugged each other in silence. Clara felt that Horace's body trembled slightly.

"Horace, what's the matter with you?" Clara asked, a little puzzled.

After a long time, Clara heard Horace whispering, "Clara, promise me that you will never leave me in

the future!"

Seeing Horace's eyes, Clara couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart. Those eyes were full of worry

and affection for her, and it seemed that he was begging her for an affirmative answer.

Unable to restrain herself, Clara kissed Horace's eyes, "Okay, I promise."

As soon as Clara's lips left Horace's eyes, his lips covered hers. Different from what was in the past,

Horace's kiss was a little impatient this time, as if he wanted to gobble her up and put her on the tip of

his heart. It seemed that only in that way, could he protect her from any hostility in this world.

But Clara did not feel uncomfortable at all, but tried her best to respond to him…

After the kiss, the mood of the two of them stabilized a lot.

Clara remembered that previously, Horace left his wheelchair and ran to save her. She looked at

Horace and asked worriedly, "now all of them have known that your legs are fine! What can we do

now? It's all because of me..."

Thinking of this, Clara couldn't help but blame herself. If it wasn't for saving her, Horace would not have

exposed his secrets to the public.

Sean would know this secret soon, and he would definitely come up with something eviler to deal with

Horace.

Horace seemed to know what Clara was thinking. He held her in his arms and said, "It's alright, I've

planned to disclose this for a while, and it's about time now. I'm ready for what's coming next. Don't you

worry about me?"

"So, what are you going to do now?" asked Clara.

"I'm going to hold a press conference tomorrow to explain the cause and effect of this incident to

everyone."

"Then shall I go with you?" Clara hoped that she could accompany Horace to face these things

together.

"No, your body is still weak, and it is not suitable for you to appear in front of the public. I can handle

that by myself."

Horace knew Clara's intentions, but he didn't want her to face these messy things, she only needed to

live a good life under his protection.

"I am fine now, really. I was just a bit startled from it, but not physically harmed." Clara explained

anxiously.

"Be a good girl and rest. There will be a live broadcast tomorrow and you can watch it here in the

hospital." Seeing the persistence in Horace's eyes, Clara finally compromised.

"Okay." Clara nodded. She didn't want him to worry either. She decided to do what he wanted.

The next morning, after having breakfast with Clara, Horace went to the office to arrange the press

conference.

When colleagues from the magazine office heard that Clara was hospitalized, they all came to see her.

"Clara, are you alright? Are you injured?" As soon as Sarah entered the ward, she asked Clara

incessantly, her face full of worry.

"Sarah! Clara needs to rest. Could you please be a little bit quiet?" Stephanie stopped Sarah from

being such a loudspeaker. She really did not want to disturb Clara.

"Sarah, we're not in a musical festival." Some other colleagues also joked.

Sarah's face blushed and she spoke to Clara in a hushed voice, "Sorry, am I too loud?"

"Of course not, don't worry, I'm fine. "Clara was in a good mood. She was happy to see them coming to

visit today.

"Clara, we misunderstood you a few days ago. We shouldn't say that to you. Don't take it to your

heart." one of her Colleagues apologized to Clara with a blushing face. She badmouthed her by saying

Clara was cheating behind Horace's back.

"Please forget about that. Now everyone knows that Mr. Kirkland is perfectly healthy, and the rumors

have all been disproved. They all envy you for having a good husband." Sarah said.

After hearing Sarah's words, Clara was a little puzzled, "Everyone knows? What the heck is going on?"

"Don't you know? It's trending now on Twitter." Sarah took out her phone and showed it to Clara.

Clara took the mobile phone and swiped, and found that most of the local hot topics were about

Horace.
