Sister, look at him!

Chapter 386 When the Rose Withers 9

Edwin cares about Carol and the promise he made to her, but his health is not improving.

A week had passed since Carol secretly went to see Edwin, but her body was still weak. She broke into a sweat after getting out of bed and walking a few steps.

Charles said that he was already weak and just let him rest.

But Edwin couldn't wait.

"I promised Carol that I would go find her." Edwin smiled bitterly. "Charles, is there nothing you can do?"

Charles shook his head, "No, Edwin, your body can't sustain this journey."

Isn't it possible for such a short distance?

Edwin was a little depressed. He said sullenly, "I promised Carol."

"I know, you've said it many times." Charles packed up his medicine box. "The Duke's Mansion doesn't receive guests. I'll find a way to bring her in tomorrow."

Edwin was visibly happy.

Charles' eyes were a little complicated, as if he wanted to say something, but for some reason he remained silent.

The youngest son of the Duke and the daughter of a fallen noble were a good match, so there was no reason for him to mess up this relationship.

……

At this time, Carol was fed up with the depression of being locked up at home.

Goya, the kitchen maid, was going out to do some shopping. Carol had been cooped up at home for a week and was bored. While Mrs. Perry was out attending an event at a publishing house, she secretly followed Goya out of the mansion, intending to breathe some fresh air outside and see what the situation was like in London today and whether anyone cared about the tragedy in the East End.

When they arrived at the destination, Goya went downstairs to make some purchases, and the young man driving the carriage also went to help carry things. Carol still sat in the carriage, silently observing the people coming and going.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure.

Serinda?

Carol was a little curious, who was the person next to her?

Jumping off the carriage, she was about to walk up to say hello, when she saw the woman with her back to her slap Serinda.

"Stop!" Carol shouted subconsciously.

Serinda looked over in surprise, and the woman also turned her head. She had the same long curly brown hair and amber eyes as Serinda, but her face was much paler than Serinda's, as if she hadn't seen the sun for many years.

"Who are you?" Elena asked unkindly.

Carol wasn't afraid of her either, "I'm Serinda's friend."

"Friends?" Elena seemed to have heard something funny. She looked at Serinda with a mocking look, "You have friends too?"

Serinda's body was a little stiff, and her face was wooden. "Ms. Crane, I'm talking to Elena. It's not a lady's thing to interrupt someone else's conversation."

Carol: “?”

Just because she has a good temper doesn't mean she has no temper.

Who was she speaking for? Who was she speaking for? Rage rose in her heart. Carol clenched her fists and said coldly, "A qualified lady would not be unable to say the most basic thank you."

With a slight snort, she turned and walked towards her carriage.

Serinda looked at Carol's back and moved her lips as if she wanted to call her and say something, but Elena grabbed her wrist.

Elena's hands were always cold, and she was very strong. When she held Serinda tightly, her sharp nails pierced Serinda's arm. "That's Crane? Mrs. Perry wants her to marry Mr. Capet?"

Serinda struggled. "I don't know."

"Then go and ask clearly!" Elena lowered her voice, but couldn't suppress her anger, "Has Dr. Charles seen her? Tell me!"

When she saw Carol for the first time, she was surprised at first, then jealous. Now that she realized who Carol was, she was worried that Charles would fall in love with her.

Not to mention the personality, just looking at that face, even Zain would fall in love with it if he saw it.

Elena panicked when she thought that Charles might have met Carol. Charles didn't like her in the first place. If, if...

"I don't know. On that day, when Mrs. Perry held a tea party, Mr. Capet and Miss Crane were in the glasshouse. Dr. Charles didn't go there, so he probably didn't see them..."

Serinda didn't dare to lie in front of Elena, but she also didn't want Carol to be regarded as an imaginary enemy by Elena, so she could only tell half of the truth and keep the other half.

Elena's expression changed again and again, and it was unclear whether she believed it or not.

On the other side, Carol returned to the carriage and became more and more angry. Her kindness was trampled upon.

It seemed that there were a lot of things that needed to be purchased, and Goya had not returned yet. Carol calculated the time and wondered whether she should go back and have a few words with the Dodge sisters.

After thinking it over, she gave up the idea. She didn't want the headlines tomorrow to be about her arguing with someone in the street.

Just when I was feeling listless, Goya came back.

But I didn’t buy everything, so I need to go to another store.

During this time, Goya kindly asked Carol if he wanted to send her back first.

Carol shook her head to refuse. She didn't want to go back so early.

The carriage then continued on its way to the purchasing location, this time the store was close to the East District.

Goya was worried about Carol being alone, so he asked the young man driving the car to stay and protect her, and she went into the store alone.

Carol was still observing the crowd. She noticed that at the border of the East District, several patrolling police officers had appeared. Everyone who came in from the East District or went out from here to the East District was stopped.

It's strange that the newspapers didn't report on what happened in the East District, but there are people actually in charge of it.

She looked around again, and her eyes suddenly stopped at one place. She saw a familiar person, Elena, whom she had just seen.

Elena didn't look sick or weak at all as Anne described. Instead, she was agile and quickly entered the East District quietly using the cover of roadside buildings.

What was she doing in the East End?

Carol patted the groom's shoulder and said, "Paul, go and see why Goya hasn't come back yet."

Paul hesitated, and Carol pointed to the police officer patrolling nearby and said, "There are officers here. It's okay."

Paul nodded, jumped out of the carriage and went into the store.

Carol got off the carriage shortly after and, imitating Elena's example, sneaked into the East District.

It seems that the orders from above are not very strict, and the police officers' patrols seem very perfunctory.

Carol tiptoed deeper into the cave. She had a strong memory and could still clearly remember the route Elena had just taken.

After walking a short distance, Carol saw Elena's back. She subconsciously slowed down her pace and followed Elena secretly until Elena turned into a small alley and disappeared completely.

The alley is a dead end, it’s impossible for it to disappear. What’s going on?

Carol wanted to go back, but when she turned around, she saw Elena standing at the entrance of the alley.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and she had a strange smile on her face. At the corners of her grinning mouth were two cold fangs.
