Chapter 323 Circus Clown ＜44＞
After leaving the Knights Templar, Fang Li returned to his mansion. As soon as he arrived, he received bad news.
The housekeeper hurried over and shouted at her.
"Miss, Miss, you are finally back. Madam, Madam, she is not well."
What did Fang Li not understand? The Duchess had tuberculosis and had reached her limit after holding on for so long.
What the other party said was not good, probably meant that he was about to die.
Fang Li didn't say anything and ran to the Duchess's room holding up her skirt.
As soon as the door of the room was opened, a rotten smell was smelled.
It's like the smell of corruption that emanates from a flower that is in full bloom but is about to wither.
Although it cannot be said to be unpleasant, it is very clear and one can tell at once that this person is about to die.
Fang Li walked straight to the Duchess's bed and bent down to look at her.
The beautiful lady's face was now pale and frighteningly pale, and there was no blood on her lips.
It's only been a few days and the other party has become very thin.
When Fang Li first came over, he was still able to eat, so even though he was coughing up blood every day, he was still in good condition.
In the past few days, he couldn't eat anything, not even liquid food. He could only drink a little water occasionally, and naturally he couldn't hold on for a few days.
When Fang Li looked at the other person, although the other person's eyes were open, they were not focused at all, and his gaze was drifting.
It looks like life is about to come to an end.
Fang Li bent down in front of the other person and called out softly a few times.
"Mother, mother."
She called out several times, but the other party didn't respond at all. Even his eyes didn't focus a bit as she spoke.
Seeing this, Fang Li stopped shouting, thinking that it would only last for a while.
In that case, she didn't plan to go anywhere else. She simply dragged a chair over and sat next to the bed.
As soon as he sat down, he suddenly remembered something and immediately called the butler.
"Send someone to Duke Herbert's residence and tell His Excellency the Duke of my mother's condition."
The housekeeper looked at her in slight surprise, but soon calmed down.
She nodded and left.
"it is good."
While doing this, she couldn't help but doubt in her heart.
Miss, why do you want to tell this to His Excellency Duke Herbert?
Could it be that the other party already knows my true background?
Yes, as an old housekeeper, she has been working as a housekeeper in the Duke's Palace since the Duchess's father was in power.
In fact, she knew a lot of things that happened in this mansion.
But she knew how to protect herself and how to stand on her own side, so she has always lived a good life.
No one would ever take out their anger on him or her because of something like this. It was the same as it was now. Although she knew about it, she didn't intend to show it.
She had always known Miss Helena's true identity, but he had kept it hidden.
The best way to do things in the Duke's mansion is to do more and talk less.
She quickly called a maid and arranged the matter alone.
Fang Li sat in her mother's bedroom, waiting for her.
Before long, His Excellency Duke Herbert arrived in a hurry.
It was the first time that the other party was so rude in their Duke's Mansion. Without even saying hello, he just pushed open the Duchess's door and walked in.
Fang Li turned her head and looked at the other person. The nervous expression on the other person's face could not be hidden no matter what.
He looked extremely anxious, and after entering the room, he ran straight towards the bed.
I ran so fast, so fast and so nervous, that I almost tripped over my left foot.
After seeing this, Fang Li quietly stood up and gave up her seat beside the bed. The other party did not sit on the chair, but knelt directly beside the bed.
At this time, he obviously didn't care whether Fang Li was around or not. He simply stretched out one of his hands, held the other's hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it hard.
"Mary, what's wrong with you? Get well soon! I've done everything you were worried about, and I've taken care of everything for our daughter. Get well soon!"
Now everything was laid bare. Fang Li stood aside without saying a word. Anyway, her image as an ignorant person on the other side had completely collapsed. So she just let it go.
The other person grabbed his mother's hand and shouted for a long time, but when he saw that there was no response from the other party, he finally couldn't hold it anymore and burst into tears without caring about anything.
Fang Li listened to the other party's heart-wrenching voice and thought that he actually liked his mother so much, so could she take advantage of this and make him release Victor.
Thinking of this, Fang Li rushed forward, pulled the other person's hand away, and spoke to him fiercely.
"Just talk if you want to. Why are you holding my mother's hand?"
His Excellency Duke Herbert could no longer hold back, and speaking with a choked voice as he looked at her crying.
"Helena, Helena, I am your father! You are the biological daughter of Mary and me, you are my flesh and blood!"
Fang Li took two steps back in shock. She was so shocked that her face turned pale.
She looked at him in disbelief, muttering softly, "How is it possible? How is it possible? How could I be your daughter? My father is clearly..."
Duke Herbert choked up and said, “Silly child, if you were not my biological daughter, how could I do so many things for you?
I love your mother and I love you too, so I am willing to do anything for you, even if it costs me everything. "
At this time, Fang Li stood there with her chest heaving violently, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
She looked at him and said, "If what you said is true, then please let Victor out. I will treat him the same way you treat your mother.
Are you going to tear us apart like this?"
The Duke of Herbert stared at her with his pair of blue eyes, and Fang Li looked back without any fear.
The father and daughter were both more stubborn than each other, and in the end, the Duke was the first to give in. He sighed heavily and said to the other party.
"Okay, I promise you."
