A Code Of Love (The Code Breakers 1) - Plot & Excerpts
Brompton stood ready at the door. “How is he?” “The doctor is with him in the library. We were afraid to move him…” The unflappable Brompton cleared his throat to hide the break in his voice. “Until he could be examined.” Her stomach pitched and rolled as if she would be sick. She ran to the library and burst in before the footman could open the door. Uncle Charles lay next to his desk on the floor. She dropped to her knees. “Uncle Charles.” She could barely get out the words. His face was ashen, his breathing shallow, his hands ice cold. “Uncle Charles, it’s me, Henrietta. Oh, please wake up, Uncle Charles.” He seemed to have shrunk in size, his face was colorless. An ache started in her chest. She pressed her hand against the pain, to stop her heart from shattering. “Uncle Charles, please open your eyes. It’s Henrietta. Please Uncle Charles, wake up.” Her voice trembled with each plea. “Henrietta?” Her uncle’s voice was so quiet she needed to bend close to his face.
