Marie tilted her head, looked at Clayton, and smiled. “Mr. Philemon, you don’t want to kill me,

there’s no need to scare me. Your gun isn’t even loaded.”

SO

Clayton was taken aback; he indeed hadn’t loaded the gun. He just wanted to scare Marie, but to his

surprise, she wasn’t afraid at all and even noticed that the gun wasn’t loaded.

Clayton put away the gun, and Marie looked at him, sighing, “I know you don’t trust me, but please put

aside your doubts when Dennis is around, otherwise it will make him very uncomfortable.”

Clayton didn’t speak, and Marie turned around and entered Dennis’ room to check on his IV drip.

Gavin patted Clayton’s shoulder and said, “Embarrassing, right? Why bother?”

Clayton glanced at him, “Couldn’t you tell she had a problem?”

Gavin shook his head. “I can’t see it, a good family background, a good student, what’s the problem?”

Clayton reluctantly walked to the living room and sat on the couch. He didn’t know where the problem

was, but Marie was that kind of person – you couldn’t tell where the issue was, but there was definitely

a problem, just by intuition!

On the coffee table, there were Marie’s blood-stained high heels. He thought again of her charming

smile while wearing a mask, so familiar. But despite racking his brain, he couldn’t remember

where he had seen this scene before.

Gavin entered Dennis’ room and saw Marie wiping his face with a towel. She then checked his wound

and sat on a chair beside the bed, staring at Dennis.

Gavin shook his head helplessly and called out, “Marie.”

Marie turned around and asked, “Gavin, what’s wrong?”

Gavin walked over and adjusted the IV drip, saying, “You shouldn’t have been handling the wound, you

know?”

Marie nodded, “I know.”

“There were also racing cars and combat, you shouldn’t have known about those either,” Gavin

said.

“I know,” Marie said, somewhat irritated. She wasn’t as cautious as Rose used to be, which was why

she had so many flaws exposed now.

“Your behavior did raise some doubts, so don’t blame Clayton. To us, Dennis is like a brother, and he

just wants to ensure Dennis’ safety,” Gavin explained.

“I know,” Marie said, lowering her head. She knew, of course, that Clayton was questioning her like this

for Dennis’ safety.

“Marie, I believe in you,” Gavin suddenly said.

Marie was startled and looked up into Gavin’s eyes, asking, “Why?”

Gavin smiled helplessly, “I don’t know, it’s just intuition. I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

Marie laughed, “Don’t worry, it won’t happen!”

“Alright, I’m leaving now. You watch him, and call me if anything happens,” Gavin instructed before

leaving the room.

Marie sat by the bed, looking at Dennis’ furrowed brow, gently stroking it, and murmured, “Wake up

soon.”

The next day, when Dennis slowly woke up, he moved his fingers and touched something fluffy.

He glanced to the side and saw Marie lying beside his bed, sleeping soundly.

Dennis’ hand was held by her, placed under her cheek. He moved his fingers, trying to pull his hand

back, and then Marie woke up.

She sat up, rubbing her eyes, and met Dennis’ gaze. Surprised and delighted, she said, “You’re

awake?”

Dennis nodded, and Marie reached out to touch his forehead, saying, “The fever has gone down. Wait

a moment, I’ll go call Gavin.”

Before Dennis could speak, Marie ran out, and after a while, Gavin walked in.

Upon seeing Dennis lying on the bed, Gavin laughed and said, “Dennis, you woke up quite early,

huh?”

Dennis glanced at him, didn’t say anything, and the wound still hurt a bit.

over

Gavin walked over to check the wound and whispered softly beside him, “Why did you wake up so

early? Marie has been watching over you all night.”

Dennis was taken aback and turned to look at Gavin. As their eyes met, Dennis felt a shiver in his

heart. When I was unconscious, hadn’t Marie gone out to find that Seth?

Gavin changed the bandage and muttered softly, “I think Marle cares about you a lot. Yesterday, when

Clayton pointed a gun at her, she calmly said she would never hurt you.”

Dennis was taken aback, “Clayton pointed a gun at her? Why?”

Gavin, with a bandage on, said helplessly, “Isn’t it because Marie didn’t come back for a whole day

and night? Clayton suspected her of being a spy, and they had a fierce argument yesterday!”

Dennis furrowed his brow, looking very unhappy.

“Dennis, what do you think? Do you also believe Marie is a spy?” Gavin asked while tidying up the

first aid kit.

Dennis looked down at the wound and said, “So what if it’s a spy?”

Gavin picked up the first aid kit and looked at him, “What would you do if she’s a spy?”

Dennis looked at Gavin, “Whether yes or no, she’s mine.”

Gavin paused for a moment, then laughed, “That’s true, how could you easily let go of something

you’ve set your sights on?”

Gavin walked out with the medical kit, and Dennis said, “Let her in.”

Gavin walked into the living room, where Marie was pacing nervously. Seeing Gavin, she immediately

asked, “How did it go?”

Gavin smirked, “If you’re so worried, why don’t you go in and see for yourself?”

Marie hesitated a bit, as she had just had a big argument with Dennis yesterday. It was also because of

yesterday that Dennis’ wound had reopened and he had fainted.

She didn’t dare to go in. What if Dennis is still angry?

What if Dennis still wanted to question Seth? She didn’t want to argue anymore, nor did she want to

see the look of suspicion in Dennis’ eyes.

Gavin shook his head helplessly. “Marie, there are some things that can’t be avoided. You said it

yourself yesterday, these matters are not for us to question you about, only Dennis can ask you.”

He patted Marie on the shoulder and left the hotel.

Marie hesitated before walking over and pushing open Dennis’ bedroom door.

Dennis was trying to lift the blanket and get out of bed, but he couldn’t exert any force on half of his

shoulder, making it very difficult.

Marie rán over to help him and asked, “What are you trying to get up for?”

Dennis stood up and walked towards the bathroom, “I want to take a shower.”

Marie grabbed him. “Your wound hasn’t healed yet, how can you take a bath?”

Dennis was quite annoyed, as he hadn’t taken a shower for three days and felt very uncomfortable.

Marie, feeling helpless, helped him into the bathroom and brought a stool for him to sit on. She

said, “You just need to rinse your legs, but don’t get your upper body wet.”

Dennis struggled for half a day to take off his clothes, and finally managed to rinse himself off, but he

couldn’t put on his pants with just one hand.

After much hesitation, he could only call out, “Marie, come in for a moment.”

Marie pushed open the bathroom door, and upon seeing the scene in front of her, her face flushed red.

She slammed the bathroom door shut with a loud sound and shouted through the door, “Jerk!”

Dennis said, “Come in, help me put on my robe, I can’t do it with one hand.”

“I don’t want to!” Marie firmly disagreed.

“So, you were planning to let me pace around the room like this?” Dennis asked.

Marie was at a loss for words.

She pushed the door open with a red face, grabbed the robe and went behind Dennis to put it on him.

Then she went in front of him, tied the belt, and rushed out of the bathroom without looking back. She

slammed Dennis’ bedroom door with a loud sound.

Dennis was speechless.
