Chapter 256 Is It That Serious?


    “Oh, y-yeah.”


    After her tumble, everything seemed a bit surreal.


    Marion blinked. “So... should | walk you out?”


    Even though it was not the first time she had seen Lucas off, for some reason, shet still felt a bit shy.


    “Sure.”


    With time running short, Lucas agreed and headed outside. Marion quickly followed suit.


    Having been waiting for Lucas for quite some time, the driver was getting so anxious that he started to break a sweat.


    Finally, when Lucas emerged from the vi, the driver breathed a sigh of relief.


    Seeing Marion, the driver suddenly understood.


    The rtionship between Mr. and Mrs. Craig was really something else.


    Walking to the entrance of the vi, Marion stopped. “Have a safe journey.”


    She raised her hand and waved.


    Lucas nodded. “I''ll be back in a couple of days.”


    “Alright.”


    Even though they were just acting, the gaze from those dark eyes always gave her the illusion that they were truly a married


    couple.


    Sigh... Being handsome really does confuse people.


    With a smile, Marion watched Lucas get into the car before turning around to go back.


    Unexpectedly, her knee suddenly stung again, and her leg gave out for a moment.


    Luckily, she was quick to react, grabbing onto the nearby door. However, Lucas, inside the car, had already witnessed the scene.


    “Stop the car.


    As Marion steadied herself, she heard a sharp braking sound.


    She paused, instinctively looking outside.


    To her surprise, the car that had just driven away was now reversing.


    Huh?


    Did he forget something?


    Why did


    e suddenly turn back?


    Just as she pondered, the rear door of the car opened, and Lucas stepped out.


    “What''s


    ''s Wrong with your left leg?”


    oo


    Marion felt her face turning hot and red. She stared at the approaching man, her mindpletely nk.


    How should she exin? Should she say her leg went weak or just spill the truth? Regardless of the choice, Marion felt like she


    was facing social suicide again.


    “Hm?”


    In the moment of hesitation, Lucas had already reached her side.


    Bending down, he effortlessly lifted her up. Marion let out a little squeak as she found herself carried into the vi.


    “I''m fine! Aren’t you in a hurry to catch your flight?”


    After all, flights waited for no one!


    Lucaspletely ignored her protests, carrying her straight to the sofa and. cing her down. His face showed an inexplicable


    coldness. “Should | examine myself, or are you going to exin?”


    Marion had been “married” to him for almost two months, and this was the first time she saw Lucas looking so stern. She


    instantly got nervous and hurriedly exined, “It’s my left knee. | bumped it on the corner of the bed when | got up this morning.”


    “Let me see.”


    Lucas nced at her with a look that said, “If you don’t roll up your pants, | will.” So, Marion had no choice but to do as he said.


    When she saw the bruise on her knee, she was momentarily stunned.


    Was it that serious and not just a bump?


    With fair skin, the bruise on her knee looked shocking against the porcin—likeplexion of Marion’s leg.


    Lucas frowned directly. “Did you fall just because it hurt?”


    She wanted to say no. However, looking into those eyes that seemed capable of seeing through people, Marion swallowed her


    words. “Yeah.”


    “I''ll have the family doctore over. You wait here.”


    “What about your flight...?”


    Lucas looked at the person in front of him and suddenly burst intoughter. “You can’t take care of yourself, yet you’re worried


    about me?”


    “Sorry.”


    Marion lowered her head, overwhelmed with guilt.
