[Pride and Prejudice] My husband loves me again

While Mr. Darcy was tossing and turning and having difficulty falling asleep, Colonel Fitzwilliam also woke up from his stupor.

As soon as he moved, Anne raised her head from his chest immediately, and the two looked at each other. Although Colonel Fitzwilliam exaggerated the injury on purpose to make Aunt Catherine change her mind and consider the possibility of being her son-in-law, Anne was in the middle of the night. He was still taking care of him by his side, which really surprised him.

"Where's Dr. Brown?" Colonel Fitzwilliam struggled to get up. Although Dr. Brown cooperated with him in fabricating the injury, it was a fact that he was injured. After such an action, the pain made him sweat profusely: "Why isn't he here? Annie, Why are you here?"

She shouldn't be here.

The outlier of the lonely man and the widow is likely to ruin the good situation that was finally opened.

Colonel Fitzwilliam thought that when he woke up, he would meet the face of Aunt Catherine eager to negotiate. Although it was not Fitzwilliam's style to press Anne's reputation and hurt kindness, but he really couldn't wait.He did have one or two well-to-do heiresses on his list of brides, and it mattered to him no matter who he married.But before he finally gave up, he still wanted to make a last effort by taking advantage of the duel of Cousin Darcy.

When he woke up and saw Anne, Colonel Fitzwilliam was pleasantly surprised at first, and then terrified.

He was very afraid that he would push Aunt Catherine into a completely opposite position before he had a dialogue with Aunt Catherine.

Annie only thought that Fitzwilliam woke up and didn't want to face her. Although his attitude was in line with etiquette, Annie still couldn't help but feel hurt.

After spending so much of the night with her, she didn't want to see her when she woke up. Even though Annie's temperament was bright and open-minded, she couldn't help the redness of her eyes at the moment: "Dr. An hour..." Her voice was choked with sobs: "If you need a doctor's company, I'll help you call him now."

"How can Dr. Brown order you?" Colonel Fitzwilliam frowned slightly, he didn't understand such treatment: "Annie, you shouldn't do these things."

"Dr. Brown didn't instigate me, it was my mother who agreed. The doctor needs a helper, and relatives are naturally more reliable." Annie finished speaking firmly, stroked the folds of her skirt, stood up and was about to leave.

Colonel Fitzwilliam was almost stunned by the sudden big pie: "Auntie agreed?"

"Yeah, she agrees that Dr. Brown asked me to be my helper," Anne obviously didn't get the deep meaning of "agreement". She was a good assist in matters concerning Darcy and Elizabeth, and in matters concerning herself and Colonel Fitzwilliam. She is a pig teammate, she forced a smile and said: "Mom didn't consider your mood, always want the doctor to be more professional on the near side, at most I will help serve tea and water to change medicines, I will leave now."

Colonel Fitzwilliam regretted that he was a little impatient, but who knew that Dr. Brown would handle things so beautifully because of his request before he passed out?

So Dr. Brown is the sure winner in life, and in the end everyone has to remember his affection.

"I'm thirsty, Anne." Colonel Fitzwilliam immediately decided to pretend to be weak: "Bring me some water, you can do this without a doctor."

Annie originally only thought that she was sentenced to death, but she suddenly came back to life, and she was so happy that she didn't know where to put it. Her reaction could not be hidden from others, so Colonel Fitzwilliam was relieved, and Annie took a teacup after a while. He took another small square of cotton cloth, carefully dipped it in water, and wiped Colonel Fitzwilliam's dry lips: "You have lost a lot of blood. Dr. Brown said that you may feel thirsty when you wake up, but you can't drink a lot of water right away. Take care." I'll moisten your lips a little."

She quickly and gently tapped the colonel's lips with the soaked cotton cloth, carefully not daring to breathe, as if her subordinates were dealing with an indescribably precious treasure.

Colonel Fitzwilliam suddenly felt that his mouth was not so thirsty, what he urgently needed to solve was the thirst and anxiety elsewhere.

"This can't work, Annie," he held Annie's hand holding the cotton towel, and said in a low voice, "I still feel thirsty."

Annie was also so anxious that she couldn't help it: "Then you drink slowly, take small sips, and I'll feed you."

"It's not that kind of thirst." Colonel Fitzwilliam raised his head and touched her lips lightly: "It's this kind of thirst."

Annie thought in a daze, his lips are really dry, it would be great if there was lip balm, she didn't refuse, once she faced Colonel Fitzwilliam there was no such thing as rejection, she nervously pressed her hand against him chest, but the hand has no strength, only cranky thoughts are left in the mind, feeling that there is a handful of furry things in the hand.That's right, Colonel Fitzwilliam is British, and he reached into his open shirt and grabbed a handful of chest hair.

She finally remembered to blush and be reserved.

Rather, it was because the fact that Colonel Fitzwilliam had chest hair had a huge impact on Annie.

Idols, as expected, can be seen from a distance and cannot be played with!

Annie stood up abruptly and backed away, clutching her skirt with both hands, at a loss, then looked at the Colonel expectantly: "Are you asking to marry me?"

Kneeling on one knee, a huge diamond ring, flowers and wine, and musical accompaniment, all these are irrelevant, as long as Colonel Fitzwilliam nods, Anne feels that she is about to fly into the sky with excitement.

"Strictly speaking, I haven't carried out this step yet," the colonel said, "but if you want, you can also treat it as me kissing my fiancée."

Ahhh, he admitted it!

Annie thought of Darcy's marriage proposal in the original book, and said uncertainly: "You are still injured, should we keep it a secret for now, so that you can talk to your mother after a while."

Obviously she not only regards the Colonel as a relative, but also thinks that Aunt Catherine sent her to take care of the sick is really a blood relationship.

Netherfield had plenty of nimble maids to choose from for a nurse.

But because of this innocence, Colonel Fitzwilliam only thinks it is more valuable. Who wants to play tricks with the person next to him every day after getting married?

He called Anne kindly: "Aunt Catherine has agreed that you take care of me, and it's late at night, Anne..."

Only then did Annie realize that her future experience made her not particularly sensitive to etiquette dogma, and she finally realized that this time and this way of getting along was inappropriate, and other people should have noticed it earlier than her, but they all seemed to acquiesce made this arrangement.Especially Aunt Catherine, as the initiator of this plan, Annie finally understood what "agree" meant at this moment.

Her premonition was indeed correct, as expected, everyone knew about it.

Even Colonel Fitzwilliam, who just woke up, grasped the point.

I really didn't improve at all.

Annie was ashamed and angry, she didn't know how to face her male god, nor how to deal with those relatives and friends who smiled and saw her admiring the colonel.

It feels so embarrassing to be seen through!

"This is a man's business, Anne, you don't have to feel uncomfortable," Colonel Fitzwilliam stretched out his hand and pulled Anne closer, and Anne didn't struggle when he saw his difficult movements: "I think I can stand up, Aunt Catherine and Cousin Darcy Brother, let me talk about it. Annie, I have always regarded you as a little sister, but seeing you this time, I feel that you are not just a sister at home, Annie, I..."

Annie almost jumped up in fright, and quickly interrupted Colonel Fitzwilliam: "I'm too shy to listen to these words, Cousin Fitzwilliam, I can feel your heart, but please don't say Come out, I am so shy that I am about to faint!"

Colonel Fitzwilliam looked at Annie's blushing face and cold sweat, accepted the statement, and suppressed the confession in his stomach.

She may not be able to accept such intimacy, but she will get used to it as long as it takes time.

Colonel Fitzwilliam said that this matter is not urgent, what he is worried about is how to face Aunt Catherine the next day, although it seems that the other party has acquiesced in the marriage.

But the additional conditions must make Colonel Fitzwilliam afraid.

Because his cousin's condition had stabilized, Darcy rode to Meryton the next day, invited Uncle Philip as an introducer, and went to visit Wickham's chief, Colonel Foster, at the station of the militia.Danny was an honest man, and had already informed the chief about the changes on the day of the duel.Colonel Foster was at the time when he was in the prime of his life. Not long after he was transferred to the head of the militia, he changed his station twice, met many gentry and celebrities, and settled some important life-long issues not long ago.

Who thought Wickham and Danny would cause such a big mess.

They don't offend as long as they don't offend, and if they offend, they are people who can't afford to offend.Not to mention that Mr. Darcy is rich in half of Derbyshire, and he also has an aunt who is the Duchess de Bourgh. Although the old duke has passed away for many years, the duchess managed the business well, and her connections back then are still very useful.

These two are slightly dissatisfied, not to mention what will happen to the junior officers, even Colonel Foster will have a difficult career.

So Colonel Foster punished Danny severely, threw him the whip that was customarily used on privates, tied him to a rope, passed the keel of the boat moored on the river, and drowned him in the river. For most of the day, Danny was frightened and whipped, and then fell ill in bed.

In this way, it's not easy for Darcy to pursue too much, but Darcy also feels cold when he sees Colonel Foster so disregarding Danny's life just to ensure his own status.

He never mentioned that he had accepted Colonel Foster's "sincerity", but kept asking where Wickham had gone.

"I really don't know about this, but I have already written an urgent letter back to London to plead for the court-martial to issue a warrant," Colonel Foster carefully watched Darcy's face, lest he add fuel to the fire: "In the station No one is close to Wickham, and there are quite a few people who have suffered losses because of his non-payment of debts. Please believe me, Mr. Darcy, that you are not the only one who wants to find him."

Darcy deeply felt that even if there was no duel, Wickham would flee the army sooner or later after borrowing all the people who could borrow money.

This time he couldn't abduct a girl and threaten the girl's natal family to help him pay off the debt.

Wickham is a street rat, thinking about it, Darcy is not so eager to get Wickham back to vent his anger.

For the sake of everyone's appearance, he still let Colonel Foster lightly go, and told him to notify himself as soon as he had news about Wickham, and he planned to send Wickham's Wanted notices are posted all over the place, so that people will no longer associate Elizabeth with Wickham, a scumbag.

After declining Uncle Philip's proposal to go back to Meryton together, Darcy rode to Longbourne.

The time has come for him to fulfill his promise.

Neither Wickham nor Aunt Catherine was the reason for his hesitation.

Miss Elizabeth's calmness and rationality have nothing to do with his inaction. When a man is not worth relying on, a woman can only rely on herself to be strong.

Darcy reflected deeply.

He made up his mind to propose to Elizabeth.
