Chapter 178
Merguate was lying in a makeshift infirmary, hooked up to a dop, and her head was swimming.
Chuck was by side, and upon seeing her shic fetched her a worm glass of water, Marguerite, do you feel any better?”
Marguerite propped herself up on the bed, accepting Chuck’s water and taking a few sips, Tm alnight, when can I leave?”
The doctor said this is the last drie, once it’s done, you can go
Marguerite nodded, er eyes scanning the morn, Fredenck was nowhere to be seen
That was for the best, the didn’t want to see him.
She finished the water, offering Chuck a grateful look, “Thank you Chuck, I appreciate this. You can leave if you have other matters to attend to, I can manage on my own
Marguerite, the person you should be thanking is not me, it’s Mr. Winston.”
Chuck replied with a jovial laugh, thinking back to what had transpired, he felt sahsfied and relieved
Morguente looked surprised, and Chuck continued, “Marguerite, Mr. Winston loves you”
Marguerite was silent.
Everyone said Frederick loved her, Chuck, Sadie, even Robert
But she couldn’t feel it, all the could feel was his resentment.
“Chuck, could you stop saying things like that? I don’t know what I did to deserve everyone’s support, and I’m grateful, really. But you can’t force feelings. He doesn’t love me, and I don’t love him. If you guys keep playing matchmaker, it just create misunderstandings.”
Like Frederick misunderstanding her earlier, thinking everyone was used by her
She hadn’t done anything to deserve that
Chuck shook his head hastily. “Marguerite, I’m not just saying this. When the doctor was cleaning your wounds, you were in so much pain you were delirious. To offer you some relief, Mr. Winston extended his arm for you to bit into. Do you know, your biting left a large teeth mark! But he bore it without a word. Marguente, would he do this if he didn’t have feelings for you?”
Chuck look out his phone, revealing a photo to Marguente
The image showed Fredenck’s sturdy arm
His strong forearm was marked with a dense ning of teeth impressions, the indentations were deep, and the bloodstains were chilling
Chuck had managed to take a secret photo earlier
Marguerite was even more confused after seeing it.
Frederick hated her with a passion, why would he let her bite his arm just to make her more comfortable?
Marguente’s finger clenched tightly, lifting her gaze to meet Chuck’s
“If he truly has feelings for me like you said, why hasn’t he come home since returning to the manor?”
Chuck sighed, resting both his hands on his knees.
“Mr. Winston has been staying alone at Seaside Manor these past few days. After all, the baby in your belly isn’t his, Mr. Winston is upset about this, it’s not something he can get over casily
But regardless of whether you acknowledge it or not, I can see that Mr. Winston cares about you. So Marguerite, make some time to visit him at Seaside Manor
With that, Chuck scrawled down an address on a piece of paper, “This is the address of Seaside Manor. Mr. Winston’s routine hasn’t changed. You can visit him anytime”
Marguente’s eyes fell on the address, and she fell silent.
