"Darcy, I think you might as well let your mother-in-law leave tomorrow, it's getting late now, it's the same to stay overnight and leave early tomorrow morning", Charles suggested reluctantly.

"But I don't want to see them again for a moment now!"

Speaking of this, Darcy's face was ashen, and he approached Charles step by step, and asked, "How did you promise me at the beginning! You said that you would definitely watch out for your mother-in-law so that she would not be in front of Caroline and Georgiana. Talking nonsense, is this what you want to keep an eye on her!"

"Oh, Darcy, don't be angry, this matter... this matter...", looking at Darcy who was mad with anger, Charles spoke incoherently in a panic. It was indeed his fault, and he didn't know what to say to him. he explained.

"I'll tell Sorrell to pack your luggage and let you leave Pemberley Manor tomorrow!" Darcy snorted coldly. He naturally knew what kind of character Charles was, and this was what he was extremely worried about this month, but He really couldn't get away from the factory.

"God! Darcy, you don't want to drive me away, I know it's my fault, but you can't do this to me, now Dr. Allen hasn't guaranteed that Jane can go back to Norfolk, I won't say yes, I can't put Jane at any risk."

"I just let you leave alone, and didn't say that Jane would leave with you."

"That's even worse, I want to stay with Jane."

"Then you, a good son-in-law, don't care about your mother-in-law's family? Or do you think Mrs. Bennet will not ask you, a good son-in-law, for help afterwards!"

Mrs. Bennet even found Caroline and Georgiana, how could she forget Charles as a good son-in-law, but she was rushed by Darcy, so she didn't think of it for a while.

"I...I", Charles obviously knew that Mrs. Bennet would not let him go. Seeing Darcy's dark face, his face collapsed, and finally he could only agree in frustration.

In fact, Charles didn't like his brother-in-law, and he didn't care about whether he disappeared. Anyway, he would often go out to have fun, and he would not be seen for a long time.

Wickham's moral character is not good, not only Darcy hates him extremely, but Charles also hates him.During Netherfield Gardens, Wickham often took Lydia to his house to enjoy the autumn breeze. They stayed for a long time, and they couldn't be driven away, which was very annoying.

Charles couldn't let go of Wickham's disappearance, but he didn't want to pay attention to these things at all. The feeling of being forced made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Frowning irritably, Charles greeted Darcy, then turned and left, he was going to see how Jane was doing.

After Charles' back disappeared, Darcy sat down on the sofa with a tired expression, raised his hands weakly, and rubbed the brows that were getting more and more painful. During this time, there were too many bad things on his mind, which really exhausted him physically and mentally.

Hearst fell asleep, yawned and entered the living room, and looked around, only to find Darcy, but when did Darcy come back?

"How long have you been back, Charles?"

"I'll be back in the afternoon", Darcy stood up with an irritable expression, not in the mood to say anything more to him: "I have to go back to the study first." Then he turned and left.

Hurst curled his lips, collapsed on the sofa, just fell asleep, then sat up abruptly, poured himself a cup of coffee before lying down again.The coffee in his right hand curled up in white mist and was filled with a strong aroma. He took a sip and felt a different kind of leisure. He was still the most comfortable staying in Pemberley Manor.

After Mrs. Bennet and the others left, the entire Pemberley Manor returned to its usual tranquility. Along with the scorching weather, cicadas sang in the garden, and butterflies were flying around the flowers. Georgiana followed Erwin and chased around the butterflies. ,have a good time.

The girl's silver bell laughter and the child's innocent voice echoed throughout the garden, making Caroline and Mrs. Reynolds who were guarding beside them smile knowingly. It was also a joy to watch them play.

After coming out of the living room, Caroline accompanied Georgiana out for a walk in the garden for a while, and finally ran into Mrs. Reynolds who was chasing after Erwin with a bowl.

With Erwin, the pistachio, the atmosphere is natural and happy. After feeding him, Georgiana changed her previous depressed mood and started playing with him, which is how the current scene came about.

"Mrs. Reynolds, stay here and watch Erwin, I'll go back to the bedroom to get some things." After she had nothing to do, Caroline was going to go back to her room to take down the book she hadn't finished reading and continue reading.

"Go, young lady, I will keep a close eye on Young Master Hester." Mrs. Renault stared at Irwin in the distance, and returned without blinking her eyes.

The more time Erwin spent at Pemberley Manor, the more Mrs. Renault loved his cute and naughty appearance, and she liked to stay by his side when he was free.

Moreover, in Mrs. Renault's opinion, Irwin is still the little lucky star of Pemberley Manor. With him last year, the relationship between Caroline and Darcy was much warmer. With him this year, Pemberley Manor may also have a baby. I think Thinking of her makes her feel happy.

Caroline returned to the bedroom, just as she picked up the book from the bedside table, a tall figure covered her back, and her hot breath fell on her neck.

"If you're not married, are you going to marry Colonel Black with all your heart?" The hoarse and deep voice was as elegant and melodious as a cello, but the rising end sound carried a hint of danger.Darcy put his arms around Caroline, held her tightly in his arms, buried his head in the hollow of her neck and said.

"Does what I said have anything to do with you?" Regarding Darcy's words, Caroline held the book in her hand, her face did not fluctuate at all, and her tone was extremely cold. This attitude made Darcy's heart tighten, and he raised his head. When she was about to turn around, she naturally loosened some strength in her hands, and then looked down at her calm face.

Caroline raised her head and looked up at the man in front of her. The corners of her blue eyes raised slightly, with a trace of sarcasm: "What? You don't stay outside for a while longer? I believe no matter where you stay, it's better than when you stay in Pemberley." Stay at the manor and relax."

Facing Darcy's departure from Pemberley Manor, even though she had been calm on the surface, she was extremely annoyed in her heart.This was not the first time, not the first time that Pemberley Manor had been left for avoiding her!

Facing Caroline's ridicule, Darcy knew that she had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "Caroline, I rushed over because the factory in Nottinghamshire was in a hurry, and it was not what you thought."

"Is there something urgent at the factory?" Caroline sneered, she didn't believe it at all: "Can't you use another excuse, Fitzwilliam, you have already used this excuse to prevaricate everyone in Pemberley Manor."

"Believe me, Caroline, I didn't lie to you. This time, there was a problem with the batch of steel in Nottinghamshire. I had to rush over to deal with it as soon as possible. I have been busy with this matter for a month because of the urgent time. I don't even have time to write you a long letter, so I can only write to you while I'm in the carriage."

As he said, Darcy hugged Caroline tightly into his arms, his eyes were full of tiredness, and the center of his eyebrows was getting more and more painful. He closed his eyes and buried them in Caroline's neck: "Trust me, Caroline, I It really wasn't an escape that left Pemberley Park."

Smelling the faint fragrance of her body, Darcy felt better, and then said: "And there is one more thing, I originally wanted to tell you after you got up when I came back from a walk, but I received an urgent request from the agent. I didn’t come to tell you about the letter.” After a pause, Darcy took a breath and said, “What I want to tell you is about Miss Bennet. I met Miss Bennet that morning.”

Having said that, he paused for a long time, and then slowly said: "Her demeanor is the one I saw when I was in Longborn for the first time, which moved my heart."

Hearing this, Caroline's lips were pursed into a straight line, and her face was extremely ugly.As soon as he tried hard, he wanted to break free from Darcy's shackles.

Darcy tightened his hands suddenly, hugged her even harder, and said anxiously: "Will you listen to me, Caroline, please listen to me."

Caroline let him hold her with a blank face, without saying a word, her eyes were dim, and she didn't know what she was thinking, but she didn't push him away again.

Darcy breathed a sigh of relief, leaned on Caroline's shoulder, closed his eyes, and said in a low voice: "But now I see Miss Bennet who once made my heart beat again, but there is no disturbance in my heart, Carlo Lynn, I'm sure I don't feel a tinge of admiration for Miss Bennet now, it's you I love, Caroline, it's you I love, darling, trust me."At the end, Darcy's tone was filled with eagerness, and he took several breaths.

"I love you, believe me, I did go to Nottinghamshire because of an emergency at the factory, I didn't lie to you," Darcy whispered, closing his eyes and swallowing hard, his dry throat It was extremely uncomfortable to scratch my throat like swallowing sand.

Caroline's expression gradually softened when she heard Darcy's low murmur.Zhang Zhe was about to speak, but suddenly felt his body sink, he quickly stretched out his hands to support the man on his body, and asked with a frown, "What's wrong with you?"

Darcy raised his head and shook his head lightly, touched her face with his right hand, stroked the delicate skin under his hand, lowered his head and kissed Caroline's forehead, and then pulled out a weak smile: "I'm fine, it's a little bit of a head It's just a pain." As he spoke, even the breath he sprayed was extremely hot.

Darcy raised his eyelids with difficulty, the dizziness and pain in his head made him shake his head uncomfortably, trying to wake up.

Is this just a headache? !

Caroline frowned deeply. When Darcy raised her head, she realized how bad his condition was. His lips were pale, and his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat. To faint.

Stretching out her hand, Caroline directly covered his forehead. In an instant, the scalding temperature came from the palm of her hand, which made her hand tremble uncontrollably.

"Fitzwilliam, you have a fever, you know that."

Darcy's consciousness at this time has fallen into a daze, his head is as heavy as a thousand catties, making it difficult for him to breathe. After being helped by Caroline to sit on the bed, he can only hold her hand tightly instinctively.

In the past month, Darcy has been very busy.In order to deliver the batch of goods on time within one month, he joined forces with factories in London and Derbyshire. The first task was to produce this batch of steel first.

In order to check the status of the factory, he ran back and forth between here and there. He didn't even have time to return to Pemberley Manor in Derbyshire, and the rest time was very little. There were even a few times when he had to stay up all night in order to deal with other official business. Busy.

In addition, the Bennet family staying in Pemberley Manor and the conflict with Caroline weighed heavily on his heart.In such a situation, in fact, his body has long been unable to bear it, and he can persist until now, but he has been holding on all the time.

The illness came like a mountain, and after explaining it to Caroline, the physical discomfort swept over in an instant, which caught people off guard.

After helping Darcy to sit down on the bed, Caroline immediately rang the bell on the bedside to call the servant.

Looking back, looking at Darcy's weak appearance, panic flashed in Caroline's eyes. She had never seen him so sick. No, it should be said that he was always in good health. Since she came here, she I've never seen him sick before, but he was so sick right now.The scorching heat she touched just now made her tremble with fear.

Caroline tried to pull her hand out, took off his coat for him, and helped him to lie on the bed, but as soon as she pulled her hand, Darcy held it even harder.She had no choice but to hold his head up with the other hand, looked at him and said seriously, "Fitzwilliam, now I'll help you to bed, please let go of my hand first, okay?"

Hearing her voice, Darcy raised his eyelids with difficulty, frowned slightly, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Then do you believe me?"

"I believe in you, Fitzwilliam, I believe in you. Now let go of my hand, and I will undress you first." Seeing that Darcy was burnt out, Caroline looked outside the door anxiously, and then Turning back to him, he said patiently.

It seemed that this sentence had an effect, Darcy let go of some of Caroline's hands, and she immediately pulled out her hands to untie his coat.

"Ma'am, do you have any orders?"

"Angel, hurry up and call Dr. Allen, immediately!" Caroline ordered without looking back: "Also, go get someone to fetch a basin of water."

Seeing Caroline helping Darcy to lie down on the bed, Angel quickly agreed and ran out in a hurry.

After lying on the bed, it may be the exhaustion of running around for days, which made Darcy's drowsy consciousness immediately plunged into darkness.

Caroline leaned over, cupped his face with her hands, lowered her head against his forehead, felt the scalding heat, took a deep breath, and suppressed the panic in her heart.His eyes fell on his black eye bags, his fingertips brushed lightly, and his eyes slid with distress.
