Chapter 293 Marjorie Knight
I shook my head, “No!” It just felt like I had woken up from a deep sleep, and my body was a bit sore
and weak.
The doctor gave a faint smile, nodded and said, “That’s good, you should rest well.’
After speaking, the group of doctors who had come in full force just left one after another.
Fortunately, the doctor had just left when the door to the sickroom was pushed open again.
“Tabatha!” My mother almost frantically rushed to my side, grabbing my hand, her eyes red, “Do you
still feel uncomfortable? You scared me to death.”
Seeing my mother, I paused, my voice a bit hoarse, “Mom, what are you doing here? Where’s
Alexander? I heard there was a collapse at Mount Snake, are you guys okay?”
My mother held me tightly and began to speak, “It’s…”. She paused before continuing, “We’re okay,
Mount Snake did collapse, and we were indeed trapped in the mountain. It was Walter who led people
to rescue us. But you, why were you so reckless to run into the mountain, and even took a detour? Do
you know, the doctor said, if Walter had found you guys any later, you wouldn’t have made it.”
My mother rattled on about many things, but I caught the main point. Looking at her, I asked, “Was it
Walter who found us?” I thought it was Yi Chen who carried me out of the mountain…
“Of course not,” the mother began, sighing, “The power of the Hinton
family is not to be underestimated. I heard that when they found you, you were already unconscious. It
was Walter who had a doctor with him, who immediately injected you with serum and sent you to the
hospital. Ah, you can’t be so reckless in the future.”
I listened quietly, but a subtle, indescribable feeling welled up inside me. After a moment of silence, I
looked at my mother and asked, “By the way, Mom, where is Mr. Monroe who was with me?”
Hearing my question, my mother paused slightly and said, “I don’t know. After Walter took me and Xiao
Shen out of the mountain, he told me about your accident and brought me here. I didn’t see any Mr.
Monroe around you. What’s wrong?”
Hearing this, I pursed my lips, paused for a moment and said, “Mom, could you please ask the doctor
how the man who was with me is doing?”
Seeing my worry, my mother stood up and said, “Alright, I’m going
now…”
“No need to go, he’s still in the operating room.” The one who came in from outside was Alexander,
who directly said, “Even if you go now, you won’t be able to see him.”
Looking at Alexander who came in, I was slightly taken aback. It had been a long time since we last
met, he seemed to have lost some weight, just like his mother, a bit darker, probably from being in the
mountains, but it didn’t affect his good looks.
Pay attention to the woman who came in with him. She was tall and slender, with exquisite and
outstanding features. She was so beautiful that one couldn’t take their eyes ofl her. How to describe
her? She was the kind of woman who was even more beautiful than a star.
Perhaps noticing that I was looking at her, the woman gave me a slight

smile and said, “Hello Ms. Conner, my name is Marjorie Knight.” NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
I watched her smile faintly, returning the gesture with a polite smile of
my own.
The mother went along and said, “This is Mia’s daughter, I mentioned her to you on the phone before,
she is also a journalist. This time she went with us to Mount Snake. Thanks to her knowledge of the
terrain, we were able to avoid the direction of the collapse and find a safe spot when it happened.”
Mia’s daughter? I was slightly taken aback, but then I remembered what my mother had mentioned
before. The reason why Mia only got married now was apparently because she had a child at a young
age after tasting the forbidden fruit. She then dropped out of school early to work, leading a life
completely different from her mother’s.
Looking at Marjorie, I said earnestly and sincerely, “Thank you for saving my mother and Alexander.”
Marjorie gave a slight smile, “You’re too kind. In that situation, it wasn’t about saving or not saving, we
were all in it together.”
She was very subtle, and I, being a person who truly didn’t know how to express such things, secretly
noted her kindness in my heart. I couldn’t help but take a few more glances at her. When my mother
didn’t introduce her earlier, I didn’t take a good look. Now it seems, Marjorie was not only beautiful, but
also very young. According to the information my mother had given me earlier, Marjorie was at least in
her mid-thirties, but she looked no more than twenty-four or twenty- five.
It was unclear whether it was due to good maintenance, or because it was naturally beautiful, so it
didn’t look old at all.
After a brief conversation, I roughly understood what my mother and
Alexander had encountered at Mount Snake. They indeed discovered the remains of the victims who
had been buried during the sinkhole incident years ago. Regrettably, Alexander was unable to find his
parents’ remains. They might have been found originally, but due to another sinkhole, the already
difficult task of finding the remains became nearly impossible.
