"Of course," Louisa cut in. "Adelaide must recover quickly and for that, I have decided to go with you."
Rochester's eyes widened with shock. He had not anticipated her bold decision to go with him. And because Simon had not said that he had seen her to even begin with, he did not think that she had given the Butler a positive response because when Simon was about to leave yesterday, his one word to him was quite clear; "Dead end!"
Simon had even gone as far as trying to convince him to leave back for Aegremonth with him but Rochester refused, saying he wouldn't know how to tell Adelaide that and break her heart all the more.
"Hazel," Rochester said after putting his mind back together. "Are you serious about going to visit Adelaide with me?"
"YES." Louisa's tone was quite the emphasis. "I have thought deeply about it but before I proceed further, there is something I would like to know."
"Alright. Go ahead." Rochester did a slow blink of his eyes.
