Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 457

Despite all the cries and yells behind, Horace took Clara out of the ward after shutting the door to isolate the noise made by Laura. But he didn't stop walking until they couldn't hear any voices from Laura.

Letting go of his hold, Horace seated himself on the bench in the corridor and pressed his temples lightly to ease his tiredness. He was totally worn out mentally and physically. It was uneasy for Clara to watch Horace like this. She knew it must be a rough day for Horace for what he had been through this day and for knowing the truth.

Sitting next to Horace, Clara wanted to comfort him but didn't know what to say. She wasn't there when the things happened back then, so she didn't know how bad was Horace hurt. What she could do was to stay with him, accept the pain, digest it, and let it go with him together.

The corridor fell into silence for a while before Clara asked out of worry, "Are you okay? Horace?"

While Horace finally looked up at her, squeezing out a smile, and said, "Yeah, I'm fine."

To Clara, the smile seemed really sad.

She couldn't help but say, "Hey, it will all be over soon. Just let it go and move on." She knew her words may seem a bit lame but at least better than nothing. She just couldn't let Horace be so lonely. She shared the pain and the grief with him.

"Yeah, I know." Horace looked thankfully at Clara, nodding his head. "I can handle it, so don't be so worried. It isn't that bad after all. I get to know the truth about the kidnap and that is what I've been looking after for years."

"Sure." Clara also nodded. She didn't know how to answer while Horace didn't seem to talk, so the air become quiet again.

After a while, Clara spotted a nurse who was walking back and forth the corridor anxiously, as if looking for someone. A better look confirmed the nurse as the one who had transfused Helena with glucose. Clara stood up while doubting in her heart, "Is she looking for me?"

After a few more rounds of searching, the nurse also noticed Clara. She trotted down the corridor, asking, "Are you Helena's family? I think it's you."

"Yes, that's me." Clara nodded.

"Thank God, I've been looking for you. Why are you here? You are not supposed to leave the patient alone in the ward, you know?" The nurse couldn't help but complain.
