The next day, to the surprise of Hathaway and Colonel Brandon, the lady who was judged to be fine by the two had a bad cold, and Hathaway, who proposed to take a walk and was weaker, only got a little headache during dinner punish.

So, at breakfast, Winniece got the married treat — having breakfast in her own bed.

Although Hathaway was a little worried about Winnes, she heard that Sir John and Andrew would go to the country house to visit Marianne after breakfast at the dinner table, and she felt that it was a good thing that Winnes could stay in her room, so she said no. Maybe the shy girl will be hit again when she hears the news.

Hathaway saw Colonel Brandon's intentions but did not stop him. She thought he should go and see, but not to see Marianne. She was sure she would have no problems, except for her ankle injury. It's time to be happier than this. Hathaway hopes that the colonel can follow Andrew to see what Andrew's attitude is. His current performance makes Hathaway really worried.

When Hathaway went to see Winnis, she happened to have just finished her breakfast. If a cup of cereal counted as breakfast, she thought that Winnis's current state was not as good as when she fell ill at the Rockefeller Manor last year.

At this time, there was another knock on the door, but before they could respond, Mrs. Jennings had already opened the door and walked in with a very concerned look on her face.

Yes, if you allow your guest to be sick in the room without visiting, this person must not be Mrs. Jennings. Now Hathaway is only glad that this lady did not find out that Winnis secretly liked Andrew, otherwise Jennings What pain the wife would cause her.

"Honey, are you all right?" Mrs. Jennings said sympathetically to Winnes, who sat up politely, but was dizzy and could only nod weakly.

In fact, Mrs. Jennings didn't need her response. Hathaway even felt that even if she was alone, she could find a way to talk all day. This lady has a very high skill in talking to herself, "poor Girl, you don't look so good, oh! You only ate this for breakfast? My dear, it's not okay, no, how can a girl like you eat so little? Especially when you're sick, sick It’s time to eat something good, and I’ll tell the kitchen to cook something delicious for you later, you don’t need to be polite at all, just tell me what you want to eat.”

"Poor boy, it's all due to the weird weather, always changing his face so suddenly, there is nothing you can do about it, no one can do anything about it, no, not at all. Remember when I was young At that time, I was not Mrs. Jennings at that time, but it was coming soon, and I made an appointment with Mr. Jennings to meet in the park that day..."

Hathaway felt that Mrs. Jennings came here just for someone she couldn't escape. As long as she started talking, she couldn't stop talking. She talked endlessly about the date she had with Mr. Jennings, If Hathaway could still be patient and listen to what she said, she would even be able to find out what she was interested in and respond to it, but she really couldn't bear to let Winnis die when she was ill. Put up with it.

And hi, I don't know if it's because of Winnie's ugly face or because she remembered something else, this lady finally ended this inappropriate conversation, she twisted her body and walked out, and closed the door lightly , as if it wasn't her who disturbed people's rest just now.

As soon as Mrs. Jennings left, the two breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Although they were grateful for Mrs. Jennings' hospitality, sometimes the lady's inappropriate remarks really caused headaches.

Hathaway helped Winnes straighten her somewhat messy hair, and checked her temperature, and found that she was not much taller than herself, so she felt relieved.

"Hathaway, you should stay away from me. I don't want to infect you with a cold. Now I can get three people, um, or two people to care about me when I'm sick, but if I infect you with a cold, then I But I can't get anything, and the colonel will definitely blame me in his heart."

Hathaway looked at her lovely friend and smiled, she didn't want to see her forced a smile like this, "Then I really have to stay away from you, whether it's for you or for myself, I'm sure if I get sick, The colonel won't blame you but he will definitely give me a headache."

Winnis was very happy that her friend had found such a good home, "Hathaway, you are so enviable, Colonel Brandon treats you so wholeheartedly, even my sister said that she really couldn't see that the colonel would It is such a person. But let me say, you are so good, anyone who falls in love with you will treat you like this. "

Hathaway really felt sad, she forced a smile, "I'm not as good as you said, if I wasn't so selfish, I shouldn't have brought you with me."

Winnes smiled warmly, "No, how could it be your fault? I begged you to bring me here, but you just fulfilled your friend's wish." Her voice gradually dropped, "I You know, my sister laughed at me as wishful thinking, and my friend didn’t approve of me pursuing her brother, but I still came. I wrote to my mother, hoping she would give me a chance to pursue my own happiness, Whether it works or not, I will not regret it. Now, my friend, tell me, is there no hope for me? No hope at all? Is he in love with her?"

Hathaway was silent for a while, she didn't want to deceive Winnes, but she didn't want to give her hope, "Yes, although this matter is not certain, but he will always fall in love with someone again, not now will be One day in the future. He is not suitable for you, Winnes, I always feel that Andrew is not suitable for you, you are very good, it is not that you are not good enough, it is just that you two are not suitable. "

Winnis pursed her lips, pulled the corners of her mouth and showed a comforting smile, "I understand, I... I will give up, Hathaway, don't worry about me. Let me stay by myself for a while, I want to be quiet wait."

Hathaway returned to her room, feeling as uncomfortable as a stone being crushed in her heart. She opened the window to let the cool breeze fill the room. The scenery outside the window was not ruined by yesterday's heavy rain, but more vibrant , the trees are still green, the wildflowers are in full bloom, and the deep and shallow green hills are rolling. These scenery have not become a little worse because of people's mood, they are still as cheerful as yesterday.

Hathaway couldn't help but think that love is a terrible thing. It can make you feel that the world is infinite and life is so beautiful, and it can also make you feel the low tide of life and taste the bitterness of feelings. It can make you live and die, even No need to notify you in advance.Those who lose love are bound to suffer, but those who get love may not necessarily be happy. Those who fail may not always suffer, and those who win may not always be happy. Love is so unpredictable.

Fortunately, she didn't have to experience that pain. Colonel Brandon didn't give her that chance.Thinking of Colonel Hathaway's mood, I am glad that I picked the right person, maybe it should be said that she was the one chosen?

The Colonel returned to Barton Manor before noon. He went back to his room to change the breeches that were splashed with mud, tidied up his clothes, and then came to Hathaway's room.

Hathaway warmly greeted the Colonel, it was simply too warm, before the Colonel had time to say a few words, Hathaway stepped forward and hugged him. They all snuggled into the colonel's arms.

Colonel Brandon was stunned for a moment, then bent down cooperatively, wrapped one hand around Hathaway's waist, and patted her back comfortingly with the other.

After a while like this, Hathaway whispered in the Colonel's ear with a muffled voice: "Thank you."

"I have done a lot of things that you can thank, but which one are you talking about now?" The colonel didn't feel burdened by being hugged hard, but he was worried that the person he was hugging would feel tired, so he asked A chair held Hathaway on her lap like a baby.

Hathaway felt embarrassed at this moment. She buried her face in the colonel's shoulder for a while before softly saying: "Thank you for being here, thank you for loving me, and...thank you for still loving me in the future."

The Colonel hugged Hathaway and laughed muffledly. The vibration in his chest was transmitted to Hathaway, making her dizzy. The two hugged each other quietly, enjoying this warm and peaceful moment.

"Have you asked Andrew?" Hathaway knew what she meant when she said that to the Colonel.

The colonel frowned slightly, "Yes, although he denied it when I asked him, but I think it's hard to say, maybe he's not sure yet."

Hathaway nodded after listening, "I shouldn't have brought Winnes here, I shouldn't have given her hope, she is very sad today."

The colonel said seriously: "No one can tell clearly about feelings, I hope she can figure it out for herself."

In fact, Colonel Brandon had explicitly asked Andrew about Winnes today, and it turned out that Andrew had already noticed her feelings for her, but what could he do with such a shy girl?She neither chased after him, nor made her feelings known to everyone, and no one even asked him what he meant. She just followed him quietly and looked at him quietly, while he only took She treats her like a younger sister, a good girl like his sister, that's all.

From this, the colonel felt that his behavior was indeed inappropriate. He thought that a careless guy like Andrew would not notice it, but he forgot that Andrew had fascinated countless young ladies in the city of London, except for Mrs. Butler. How could a simple-minded girl like Winnis escape his eyes.The colonel felt that he had to take responsibility for Winnis's feelings. If he could be more cautious and pry into Andrew's mouth, she wouldn't be so deeply trapped and embarrassed as she is now.He thought that even if it was only because of Hathaway's friendship with her, he would have to find a good home for Winnis in the future.

The author has something to say: It seems that everyone has a lot of opinions on the Dashwood sisters

Then Andrew is not worthy for them, let's leave a little suspense
