Chapter 154
The car drove all the way to the hospital, and the medical staff pushed Marie towards the emergency
room. Dennis followed behind but was stopped at the
door.
This time, yton came to visit Aleron’s base, but Aleron only did business. with Dennis, not yton.
So, Dennis was assigned to this mission.
Dennis originally thought that leaving Marie at Aubree’s house would be safe, but when yton
discovered that Aleron’s people were heavily armed, he
became worried about Dennis’s safety and wanted to use Marie to get Dennis
out of there.
Who would have known that Marie would rush up just in time to block the
bullet?
Aleron was now caught, and yton had to deal with the police in Bordeaux.
Everyone from King Organization was busy. In the empty hallway, only Dennis
was there, along with the bright red sign, [Operating.]
Today, Aubree said that Marie didn’t admit he was her boyfriend. Dennis was
actually not very happy about it. He was a petty person, but he endured it for
the sake of Marie’s sense of security.
He knew she was shy, knew she was timid, knew she was hesitant, so he never
pressured her.
When Marie suddenly burst into the private room, iming to be his girlfriend, Dennis was stunned for
a second, then his mood happily got back
on track.
When that girl shouted “He’s my man,” she was like a fierce female warrior, drawing her sword to block
the way, disying both heroism and tenderness.
He was very happy that Marie openly said for the first time that she was his girlfriend. At least she was
no longer hiding, hesitating, or being

apprehensive.
At that moment, he wished he could devour her. If it weren’t for the crowded
private room, he would have pinned her down and kissed her passionately, tasting those lips that could
say “He’s my man.” He wondered if they were
especially sweet that day.
So he said, for the rest, we’ll talk about itter when we go back.
He pushed her to help her escape, and she did manage to get away. But this
silly girl ran back and stand behind him, blocking the bullet.
When Marie, half-covered in blood, copsed into his arms, Dennis felt as if
his own breath was about to stop. He desperately told himself that everything
was fine, that she was only hit in the shoulder, and that nothing serious would
happen.
However, sometimes understanding something intellectually is one thing, while worrying about it
emotionally is another.
Marie was lying in the emergency room having the bullet removed, and Dennis felt as if the bullet had
hit him too, causing his heart to ache with pain.
Half an hourter, the lights in the emergency room went off, and as soon as the doctor came out,
Dennis stood up and rushed to him, asking anxiously,
“How is she?”
The blonde-haired, blue-eyed doctor nced at the disheveled man in front
of him and said, “This youngdy is fine, she just fainted from excessive
blood loss. She should wake up tomorrow.”
Upon hearing this, Dennis still didn’t rx at all. He followed the nurse to the
ward.
Marie originally only wore a bra, but now the nurse had changed her into a patient gown. This usually
lively girly quietly in the hospital bed, her face pale and her lips also pale.

Dennis sat by the hospital bed, holding her small hand. The bloodstains on her body had been cleaned
up, but the image of her covered in blood and copsing was etched in Dennis’s mind, unable to be
shaken off.
The next day, when Marie slowly woke up, she moved her hand and touched.
something fluffy.
She tilted her head to look over, and Dennis was lying beside her hospital bed,
fast asleep. His distinct facial features, long and thick eyshes made him
look as peaceful as a prince from a fairy tale while he slept.
Marie’s hand felt numb, so she moved it a bit. Dennis woke up, looked into her clear eyes, and said
with surprise, “Marie? You’re awake?”
Marie nodded, feeling powerless and weak, smiled and said, “Yeah, I’m fine, don’t worry.”
Marie wanted to sit up, and Dennis immediately went to help her. He ced at pillow behind her back
and sat by her bedside, asking, “How do you feel now? Is there any difort anywhere?”
Marie shook her head and said, “No, I just feel a little dizzy.”
“You’ve lost too much blood, you need to replenish it,” Dennis said.
Marie nodded, without saying a word.
Dennis suddenly asked, “Marie, what were you doing there all of a sudden?”
Marie was taken aback and instinctively wanted to escape, but then she remembered Aubree’s words.
She said that sometimes, people only know what you mean when you say it out loud.
Marieughed softly, showing a warm and rxed smile for the first time. She hesitantly reached out

her small hand to cover Dennis’srger one. Dennis turned his palm up and held her hand, asking,
“What’s wrong?”
“I ran over to tell you that my feelings for you are the same as yours for me,”
Marie stammered.
She had lived two lifetimes and never confessed her feelings. When she was vaguely fond of Seth, she
only tried her best toplete tasks ahead of everyone else, but she never spoke the two words “I
like.”
At that time, she also thought that some things were enough to be understood without being said. Little
did she know that what Seth was thinking waspletely different from her thoughts.
Suddenly, I wanted to confess my feelings to Dennis, but I didn’t know where
to start or how to say it.
How did Dennis initially confess his feelings to her?
Oh, that’s right.
He always seemed like a natural-born winner, always confident in his sess. He boldly walked into
her room and told her he liked her.
However, when it was Marie’s turn to confess her feelings, she chickened out.
She didn’t know how to, and no one had ever taught her.
So she could only blush awkwardly and stammer, saying that her feelings for
Dennis, and Dennis’s feelings for her, were the same.
With that said, it should be quite clear now, right?
However, Dennis hesitated and said, “Marie, what do you mean by ‘the
same’?”
Marie was also stunned. Her face turned red, and she didn’t know what to say.
It seemed as if uttering those two words was like going to the execution
ground.
Dennis smiled and patted her head, saying, “It’s alright, you think first, I’ll go buy you some food.”
Marie became anxious and grabbed Dennis’s sleeve, not letting him go. Her
face turned red with urgency, and she blurted out, “I wanted to say, I like you, just like you like me!”
Dennis looked at her with a smiling gaze, his eyes bright like the morning sun
in Bordeaux. He caressed her small face, his voice deep and enchanting,
“Marie, I know.”
He knew, after going around in circles with Marie for so long, if he still couldn’t see through her feelings,
then Dennis would have lived in vain.
His Marie, always lonely and strong, desperately moved forward and climbed upward, as if the Grim
Reaper’s scythe was chasing her from behind.
But she was incredibly stubborn, not wanting anyone’s help, not wanting anyone’s trust, not wanting
anything at all, yet she solely relied on him.
She looked into his eyes, and he knew it, so he wasn’t in a hurry and was
willing to wait for the day she would finish resolving her issues and tell him.
Just didn’t expect that Marie would suddenly be so direct, so undisguised, and so eager to tell him that
she liked him.
This sentence had much more impact thanst night’s “He’s my man,” even though Dennis had known
Marie’s feelings early on, it still couldn’tpare to the joy of hearing her say it herself.
He lowered his head and kissed her slightly pale lips. Even though they were in a hospital, Dennis
couldn’t smell any hint of disinfectant. All he could feel was the girl in his arms.
Marie, quite unusually, grabbed Dennis’s cor, tilted her head back slightly,
and epted this intense kiss.
It seemed that what she said truly made Dennis very happy, and the most direct way for this man to
express his emotions was through a kiss.
A domineering, lingering, and tender kiss.

After a while, Marie gently nudged Dennis and said in a soft voice as she backed off, “I… I feel
dizzy…”
Dennis chuckled softly, and even though he was interrupted, he was still in a good mood. He reached
out and gently tousled Marie’s hair, saying, “Lie down for a while, I’ll go buy you something delicious.”
