“A footman, standing sentry, lost his composure when he saw his master and lady. William paused to order the man to fetch the doctor. He carried his wife up the stairs to her bedchamber. Katie sat in a chair by the fire mending a gown when William exploded through the door. Her face turned white when she saw her mistress, but she quickly jumped up to assist. "What happened?" "She was in a carriage accident in the rain. Bring me towels and her warmest nightgown." William removed the damp bl...ankets from his wife's body, and briskly rubbed her body down with towels. Katy worked to dry her mistress' hair and wash the mud from her face. Cassie's skin was pale and new bruises appeared all over her body. They dressed her in her nightgown, and covered her with thick quilts, while the housekeeper stoked the fire to roaring. William placed his fingers at her pulse and put his ear to her heart. Alive. He pulled a chair next to the bed and collapsed into it. Please, Cassie, wake up. If Winnington were not already dead, he would kill the bastard with his bare hands.MoreLessRead More Read Less
