The Beauty and the Brain

Chapter 212

In the quiet ward, Dennis suddenly remembered something. He hugged Marie and asked, “So, you do

like

Seth, don’t you?”

Marie remained silent.

Man, are you catching the wrong point? How did he find out that I liked Seth from all the chats?

Dennis pursed his lips and said, “Clayton found out about your past and said that you and Seth were

childhood sweethearts. You’ve gone through fire and water for him many times.”

Marie shrank her neck and did not dare to speak. What else should I explain to him?

It was true that she had a crush on Seth before. However, as for going through fire and water, Emory

and the others were willing to sacrifice everything for Seth. There was no way she would be the only

one to blame.

Dennis was seething with anger when he saw that she was silent. She indeed likes Seth since she

grew up together with him. She was killed by Wren because of him. She even stared at him as if no

one was around

when she saw him again at Witton Manor.

Dennis lifted the quilt and got out of bed, preparing to return to his ward. In a panic, Marie jumped out

of bed and caught up with Dennis. She hugged him from behind with her arms wrapped around his

waist. Her hands clasped tightly in front of him.

Marie said anxiously, “I didn’t! Didn’t I tell you? I like you! You’re the one I like.”

Dennis’ voice was a little aggrieved and sad as he said, “You were in the cave. When I was

unconscious, that

was not how you said it.”

Marie immediately replied, “I love you! Please, don’t go.”

She was scared that Dennis would leave her alone overthinking on that night when she had just told

him

about the past.

Dennis coughed and uttered, “If you still strangle me in this way, I may have to ask Gavin to save me

again…”

Marie immediately let go of her hand and held the corner of Dennis’ clothes with both hands. She

looked up at him and asked softly, “The person I love is you. Don’t be angry, okay?”

Dennis turned around and took her hand back to the bed. Marie was stunned and asked, “What are

you

doing?”

Dennis laid down and took her into his arms. He pulled the quilt before turning off the light and said,

“Let’s sleep.”

The night was dark, except for Marie’s big sparkling eyes as if they were gems, sparkling and

beautiful.

Dennis felt an urge of wanting her in his heart. He suppressed the urge in his heart and pressed her

head in His arms before saying, “Sleep.”

With a muffled voice, Marie asked in his arms, “Aren’t you angry?”

Dennis said with his eyes closed, “I’m not angry.”

“Then why are you ignoring me?”

“I didn’t ignore you.”

“Are you really not angry anymore?”

Dennis clenched his fist impatiently. He rolled over and circled Marie under him. He leaned down to

kiss her

chattering mouth. Initially, Dennis wanted to punish her for her invisible temptation, but after the

encounter,

he suddenly remembered those days of her going through fire and water. Dennis was furious when he

thought of that young girl who had asked for death more than once and ran to save him recklessly.

Even if just thinking about it, if Clayton didn’t come at the right time, that group of people would

unhesitatingly rip off Marie’s clothes. Driscoll’s bullet would pierce through her head. There will no

longer be

any such nagging from her in the world.

She would not have such a lucky second chance and could not be reborn again. At that time, even if

Dennis

had extraordinary abilities, he would never find her again.

Dennis’ heart ached when he thought of that possibility, but he could not do anything to her. He could

only

hold her like that and punish her slightly with his actions.

It took Marie a lot of effort to regain her breathing rhythm. She looked at Dennis with a confused

expression,

unable to react to his sudden kiss.

Dennis propped himself up above her and stared at her bright eyes as he said, “Next time, if you dare

to take a bullet for me recklessly again, I will really be angry.”

Marie shrank her neck and muttered, “But… if you’re in danger, I’ll…”

“No buts! Listen carefully, Marie. No matter how dangerous the situation is or whether I can escape,

you’re not allowed to stand before me. You’re my woman. You should stay behind me obediently and

don’t put

yourself in any danger.” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Dennis’ expression was very serious as if he had to force Marie to promise him.

Her eyes flickered as Marie said, “You love me, and you can take a bullet for me. Why can’t I? If it

happens

again…”

Dennis leaned down and kissed her eloquent lips. He raised his head and hugged Marie tightly, saying,

“There won’t be a next time. I’ll never put you in danger again…”

Marie could feel Dennis’ lightly trembling hands. He was the man who always had planned strategies

and was fully prepared.

At that moment, he still felt scared when he thought about it. Marie was very happy because her man

Dennis doted on her from the bottom of his heart.

She leaned on Dennis’ arms happily. She nodded and said, “I got it, fiancé.”

Dennis froze for a moment and kissed her forehead. He sighed helplessly and said, “Let’s sleep.”

Marie was really a doomed disaster in his life. She did not have to say or do anything. As long as those

beautiful eyes blinked at him a few times and acted coquettishly, Dennis could not do anything with her.

In

addition to doting on her, he still doted on her.

That night, the duo slept in each other’s arms in Marie’s ward. There was no longer any estrangement

in their

hearts because all the truth had been clear. There would no longer be any deception or concealment

between

them.

The next day. Marie woke up in a daze. When she opened her eyes, she screamed, “Ah!”

Dennis was startled awake. He grabbed her hand and asked, “What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”

With a slap on her forehead, Marie looked helplessly at the person standing by the bed and asked,

“Gavin, are

you going to scare me to death early in the morning?”

Gavin’s face darkened as he stared at the duo nestled under the quilt and asked, “Are you two trying to

piss

me off early in the morning?”

Marie looked at him confusedly, not understanding why he was so angry early in the morning.

Dennis reached out and pulled the quilt upwards for her, saying, “It’s okay. He’s just jealous.”

Marie nodded and tucked herself into bed obediently. “Oh, fortunately, I’m in a hospital gown, or else

my skin

will be exposed.”

Dennis smiled and said, “No, you won’t. I’ll make Gavin blind.”

Marie chuckled and snuggled under the covers. She hid behind Dennis without saying anything.

Gavin was speechless.

He was wondering if the two of them could even notice his existence.

I can say I’m a beauty in New York. No, it’s not a beauty but a diamond bachelor in New York. How can

I be

ignored in front of Dennis and Marie like I’m nothing?

After settling down Marie, Dennis sat up and put on a coat. He leaned against the bed and asked,

“What are you doing here?”

Gavin’s face darkened as he answered, “What am I doing here? I’m here to poison both of you! It’s

really

unlucky for those doctors who are in charge of you guys. Are you going to change the dressing or not?

Is she

going to take her medicine or not? How old are you guys? Can’t you control yourselves? Do you think

it’s not

troublesome for you two to stay in the same ward? And now you guys switched to another ward.”

Dennis fell into silence.

Marie was also remained silent.

Gavin was exasperated and drove Dennis back to his ward. He changed the dressing for him and said,

“I don’t

even want to care about you. You can do whatever you want!”

Then, he slammed the door shut and went to Marie’s ward.

Dennis remained silent.
