Things took a turn for Miss Elizabeth the next day.Carroll heard about it from James and offered to help.Carol used to be a drama actress, and many female colleagues around her have experienced such a thing: trying to get close to a rich man, but being cheated, and ended up getting pregnant out of wedlock.She understood and sympathized with Miss Elizabeth's experience very much, and was willing to provide her with an excuse to leave home for surgery and postoperative recovery.

I handed Miss Elizabeth Carol's olive branch.After thinking about it for two days, she decided to take it.

So I arranged for the two ladies to meet to discuss the excuse for Miss Elizabeth to go out and the itinerary after that.In the end, they chose a clinic in London. As for the place to recuperate, Carol decided to pack up their mansion in London and move in early. Aunt Violet and Cousin Emily planned to stay in Bath until socializing. Season officially begins, so the security and confidentiality of the mansion are absolutely guaranteed.Then Carroll can formally hand out an invitation letter to Miss Elizabeth in the name of the Countess of Cornwall, asking her to come to their mansion in London as a guest.

All the excuses seemed very logical.Miss Elizabeth grabbed Carol's hand with red eyes and kept saying thank you.In the end, the two became as close as sisters.

This matter was resolved almost easily in this way, and I feel that I have let out a long sigh of relief.I didn't expect that one day I would be busy with someone I don't know.

Carroll's invitation letter was delivered to Viscount Maxwell's home very quickly. The Viscount didn't feel suspicious and agreed very readily.They rushed to London that same day and went directly to the hospital.The operation went very smoothly, the doctor's level is very high, and Miss Elizabeth's physical fitness is also very good, he guaranteed that the possibility of her getting pregnant again is very high.

I kept this incident in my heart, and on the third day after her operation, I went to visit her in London.

Miss Elizabeth remained in bed resting.Because of the difference between men and women, her bed was covered with thick curtains, and I couldn't directly see her face, but her voice sounded a little weak.But Carol said that she has recovered a lot. It is said that she had a fever all day on the second day after the operation. She was so weak that she couldn't speak a word. Now she feels much better.

I didn't stay too long, just sent flowers to wish her a speedy recovery, greeted her a few words, then left the mansion, went to White to spend the afternoon, and didn't return to the Acton mansion until dinner.

Back in the room, I changed into the dress for dinner under the service of George.After taking off his shirt, the door of the room was violently opened.

"Henry." Carl strode in, "I want to talk to you..."

"Oh, God, Carl, why didn't you knock!" I put on my shirt in a panic, turned my back to him and asked George to button it for me.

"Sorry." Carl said quickly, but he didn't evade, just closed the door.

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, I had no choice but to let George go out first after buttoning up my shirt.

"What happened?" I asked.

Carl's face was gloomy: "Tell me the truth, Henry, what are you going to London for?"

My heart skipped a beat, but on the surface I smiled calmly and said, "I went to White to meet some friends, but I visited Carol on the way. What's the matter?"

Carl walked up to me and looked down at me: "But as far as I know, you went to London to visit Miss Elizabeth Longley who just had an abortion."

I was taken aback, my heart beat violently and almost burst through my chest.I managed to maintain a smile on my face and said, "What are you kidding? It's not a gentleman's thing to make fun of a lady's reputation, Carl."

He looked at me blankly until my smile couldn't hold any longer.I felt my heart sank little by little.

"How do you know?" I restrained my volume so as not to cry out myself.

I guarantee that I will do this matter very covertly. Unless someone who has a relationship with Miss Elizabeth or her family wants to investigate specially, ordinary people will not care about this matter.Miss Elizabeth and Karl didn't know each other before, so it is impossible for them to have any conflicts, but I have never heard of any conflicts between Karl and Viscount Maxwell...

No, there are more incomprehensible problems here...

"How did you know my whereabouts today! I didn't bring anyone with me!" I looked at him in shock, "You sent someone to follow me?" I shouted.

Carlton took a moment and quickly admitted: "Yes, I sent someone to follow you. I know it's not right to do so, but that's because I'm worried about you! I'm worried that you will be deceived by a woman with ulterior motives!"

"So you also investigated Miss Elizabeth?" My eyes widened. "God! Why did you do this? You know everything? Did you tell anyone?"

"No, I didn't tell anyone," Carl said. "I'm not in trouble with a little girl."

I took a step back, took a deep breath, and kept myself from getting too excited: "Carl, thank you for caring about me, but I'm not deceived, I know everything, I..."

"Are you sure you know everything?" Carl interrupted me, and took a step towards me, his body almost touching me, "Do you know whose child she is carrying? Do you know who her lover is?" I guess she told you this: She was deceived because of her ignorance. Did she portray herself as an innocent and pitiful image to win your sympathy?"

"Not as much as you think..."

"She is just a stranger who has only known her for a few hours, but you are willing to provide her with so much help for free. Doesn't this prove that you have been deceived and seduced by her?! Then what's next ? Should she beg you to let you marry her? Because she has lost her reputation and her bright future, and you are so softhearted!"

"She never made such a request, Carl, please be reasonable!"

"Do you know what kind of person she is? Do you know why there are so many sad women in this world, but she is the only one who ends up in such a sad situation where her lover and relatives abandon her? Because she fell in love with her own Brother-in-law! He even lured him to sleep with me!"

I blinked my eyes, and felt that my train of thought seemed to be cut off by this sentence, and I couldn't connect.My brain was a little empty, and my thinking stopped for a moment.

"That's right, you heard me right, the father of the child in her womb is Miss Francis' fiancé! Do you think she is a pure little wretch? Wrong! She learned to seduce her own brother-in-law at a very young age." Shameless bitch!"

Shameless bitch?Seduce. Seduce. My own brother-in-law?

I suddenly felt tightness in my chest and couldn't breathe.And the next second, I felt that my brain was awake like never before, as if something was suddenly pulled out.I calmly and rationally listened to what Karl just said echoed in my brain, but another burst of tears also hit me at the same time, but it was like a dark cloud floating in the air, with strong colors but separated from me, Makes me feel incredibly unreal.My heart was pounding, as if it was about to explode in the next second.

I took a step back, took two deep breaths, pressed my hands on my heart and rubbed it vigorously.

Carl wanted to say something else, I raised my voice and interrupted him firmly: "Carl, Please! Stop it!"

Maybe it was because my face was too serious, or my voice was too stiff, Karl, who was so excited just now like a red-eyed bull, stopped immediately, he frowned slightly, looked at my face, hesitantly "What's the matter with you, Henry?"

"It's nothing. It's nothing." I whispered, turned around and rubbed my heart again. The heart was still pumping desperately, which made me very uncomfortable.

"God, your heart is not feeling well?" Carl's voice became anxious, he strode towards me, trying to put his arm around my shoulder, I immediately avoided his hand.

"I'm fine." I said coldly, "I'm just a little hungry. If you have nothing else to do, please let me continue changing."

"Henry?" He sounded a little cautious, "You..."

"It's getting late, Carl, and it would be really rude to keep the lady waiting." I took another step back.

"Henry..."

"Carl, that's all about Miss Elizabeth. She hasn't lied to me, nor said, or suggested that I marry her. As for who her lover is, I think that's her private business, and she doesn't need it at all." Confess everything to me." I said coldly and softly, "And, Carl, I want you to keep it a secret."

His expression looked a little hurt: "You know I'm not that kind of person!"

"Of course." I pulled out a smile, "Then, let me continue changing clothes."

He stood hesitantly for a while, then slowly walked towards the door and left the room.

George, who had been guarding the door all the time, walked in immediately.We continued to change clothes in silence.

When I just heard that Miss Elizabeth's lover is her brother-in-law-to-be, the first judgment that flashed in my mind was that both of them should bear corresponding responsibilities, and that gentleman might have to bear more After all, Miss Elizabeth is still an underage girl, and that gentleman is a mature adult who is nearly thirty years old.Although Miss Elizabeth was indeed at fault, perhaps she was selfish and self-willed at the beginning, perhaps she was indeed harboring ugly jealousy, trying to snatch the feelings that did not belong to her and the position of Viscountess.But the heir, as an adult man, had sex with his fiancée's underage sister out of his own will, and cowardly refused to take any responsibility after causing almost irreparable consequences. Definitely has huge flaws.

But Karl directly used such terrible words to describe Miss Elizabeth, and completely pushed the responsibility on her.The tone of undisguised disgust, disdainful attitude, and disgusted expression all made me feel as if I had fallen into an ice cave.

Miss Elizabeth was nothing more than an irrelevant stranger to him. To a stranger, he would have such a strong dislike for her because she fell in love with his future brother-in-law, so that he would insult her without hesitation. "Shameless bitch".what about me?If he knew that I, like Miss Elizabeth, fell in love with his brother-in-law-to-be, what kind of eyes would he look at me, what kind of expression would he have on his face, and what hurtful words would he say? Woolen cloth?

I didn't dare to think about it at all.

Suddenly, without warning, big drops of tears fell from my eyes.This even startled me, because I felt that my mind was very peaceful, or more precisely, empty.

"Mylord?" George asked cautiously, "Is there something wrong with you?"

"No." I took the handkerchief and wiped away the tears, but there were more and more of them, and finally they covered the whole face and flowed into the mouth along the corner of the curved mouth, "OhmyGod, what is this? Really... ...Really...how could this be?" I smiled awkwardly, covered my eyes with a handkerchief, and sat back on the bed until I felt my eyes returned to normal. .

"George," I exhaled with a long trembling breath, put down my handkerchief, and blinked my eyes to clear my vision that was blurred due to the squeeze, "Sometimes, I really feel like a joke, those All I hold dear is a dirty, unseemly little secret."

Shameless bitch.

So, this is the final summary of all my struggles and troubles in the past few months, all the joys and sorrows that I have secretly tasted, and tasted alone.Simple and direct.Hit the bullseye.

"Mylord? What were you talking to Mr. Hockley about?"

"Nothing," I paused, "just some...truth. Something that makes me feel like I've never been so sane."

The author has something to say: Mr. Karl, you are finished, you said something wrong~~

The next chapter is a third-person extravaganza from Carl's perspective. I personally suggest not to skip it, because there will be a part of the main text of this chapter.

Don't worry, everyone, the countdown to boarding can basically start now hehehe~~~

I suddenly felt that the last chapter Carl said very cutely. . .Or maybe it's just me thinking so. .

Today’s graduation ceremony, the secretary of the party branch of the college helped me to set the tassels. The secretary is very kind, hahaha~ I don’t know if there will be such a graduation ceremony when I graduate with my Ph.D.~~
