The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 257 She Didn’t Dare Say Anything

Lucas’s Adam's apple bobbed, and he reached out to lift her chin. “Apologize for what?”

“| made you miss your flight...”

Though not intentionally.

“I'll make it. I’m going to leave now while you wait for the doctor, okay?”

“Sure.”

She did not dare say anything more. If she did, Lucas would really miss his plane.

His thumb lightly brushed the swollen knee. After two seconds, Lucas withdrew his hand.

Marion pursed her lips. “I won’t move anymore. Go catch your flight.”

“Call me if you need anything.”

Lucas stood up, gave her one last glance, then turned to leave.

At that moment, Mrs. Bailey, who had come to prepare breakfast, happened to pass by.

Mrs. Bailey instinctively stepped aside when she saw Lucas, planning to wait for him to pass before entering the villa. It was not the first time she encountered such a situation. Usually, Lucas would just walk past her without a word. Lucas was aloof and not fond of strangers. Mrs. Bailey had known that for a long time, so she did not feel uncomfortable. It was fine this way. She could communicate with Marion, who was easy to talk to.

Mrs. Bailey thought this time would be the same as usual. However, Lucas unexpectedly stopped after passing by her, “Mrs. Bailey.”

It was the first time Mrs. Bailey heard Lucas call her like this. Her heart tensed.” Is there something you need, Sir?”

“Madam bumped her knee; keep an eye on her. The family doctor will come over later.”

Mrs. Bailey nodded repeatedly. “Alright, | understand.”

Lucas nodded and turned to leave.

Hearing Lucas’s words, Mrs. Balley also became worried. As soon as Lucas left, she quickly turned and entered the villa.

As soon as she entered, Mrs. Bailey saw Marlon sitting on the sofa, her knee still swollen with the pant leg not yet pulled down. “Oh my! Madam, how did you get hurt so badly?”

Mrs. Bailey walked over, not daring to touch Marion.

Marion glanced at Mrs. Bailey in embarrassment. “I accidentally bumped it.”

It was not that serious, right? At least she could still walk.

“Bumping your knee is no small matter! Sir just told me that the family doctor will be here soon. Madam, just sit here for now. In case it’s a bone injury, moving might make it worse!”

Marion did not expect Lucas, who rarely spoke to Mrs. Bailey, to instruct Mrs. Bailey for such a thing.

She lowered her eyes, gazing at the bruise on her knee. She touched it and winced in pain, yet there was a strange sweetness in her heart.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

‘Oh, Marion, you're truly beyond help.”

“Madam, did you have breakfast?”

Marion was about to say no when her stomach rumbled loudly, giving her away. ‘| know you're hungry, but did it have to be this dramatic?‘ Marion thought to

her stomach.

She glanced at Mrs. Bailey, who chuckled. “I'll go make breakfast. How about an omelette?” “Sure, sure.” Anything would do; she just wanted some time alone.

Mrs. Bailey smiled and headed to the kitchen. Marion sat alone on the sofa, looking at her phone on the table. After some hesitation, she decided to share today’s embarrassing incident with Cassie.

She thought Cassie would still be sleeping at this hour. To her surprise, Cassie’s reply came quickly. [Why are you up so early after Valentine’s Day?]

Cassie:[Don’t tell me nothing happened last night? Re Marion only thought she should not have messaged Cassie. Gossiping alone would have been much better!

Seeing no response, Cassie quickly corrected herself. [My bad! Is your knee okay? Should we go to the hospital? It’s Sunday. | can come and accompany you if you want.]

That was more like what a decent human being would say! Marion snorted and replied: [No need. The family doctor will be here soon.]

Cassie: [Must be nice to be rich!]
