The Beauty and the Brain

Chapter 84

When Marie woke up, it was already the next morning. She opened her eyes in a daze and sat up. She

was still wearing yesterday’s pants, and her blouse had turned into a wide T-shirt.

Looking around at the familiar surroundings, she breathed a sigh of relief. Yesterday was not a dream.

Dennis really came to save her.

As soon as she sat up, the bedroom door was pushed open. Dennis walked in wearing the same T-

shirt as her, with a light pink shirt in the crook of his arm, which was actually a little cute.

“Is this yours?” Marie pointed to the clothes on her.

“Yes.” Dennis nodded. “Your clothes are broken, and there are no pajamas of yours at home. I

randomly took one to change you into.”

Marie blushed. Did Dennis change her clothes?

Dennis sat on the edge of her bed, looked at her, and said, “I just briefly examined the injuries on you

yesterday. Take off your pants and see if there are more injuries. The ointment given by Gavin. is in the

bathroom. Remember to apply the medicine.”

He put the light pink clothes on the bed and said, “I just bought you new pajamas. Go to the bathroom

and change into it. You have a lot of scratches on your body, so don’t take the bath for now. Come out

for breakfast after washing up.”

Marie looked at Dennis. He was very different from usual today. He should be very cold and

taciturn, but now he was sitting on the edge of her bed, nagging her about these subtle things,

looking at her as if looking at a fragile porcelain doll.

Marie tugged at the corner of Dennis’ shirt, looked at him, and asked, “Dennis, what’s wrong?”

Dennis looked up at her, his eyes full of gentleness and apology, and a hint of pain. He stroked her red

and swollen face and whispered, “It’s my fault that you got hurt.”

With a smile, Marie tugged at the hem of Dennis’ shirt and said, “It’s okay. I’m fine. Don’t worry…”

She smiled happily. She was really glad, for at that critical moment, just when she wanted someone to

save her, Dennis really came.

Even if Dennis didn’t come, she could still walk

ut by herself when she recovered her strength. But when Dennis covered her with his clothes and held

her in his arms, she felt really warm.

At that moment, no matter how messy the scene was, she fell asleep in his arms at ease.

Dennis pulled her into his arms without waiting for her to finish. His arms were locked tightly, and his

big palm stroked the soft hair on the back of her head, as if he finally felt this girl breathing in his arms.

He closed his eyes in peace and whispered in her ear, “It’s okay, you’re fine.”

With a lump in her throat, Marie wrapped her arms tightly around Dennis’ waist. This man was really

capable of making her cry again and again, forcing her to trust and rely on him more and

more.

Marie withdrew from his embrace and said, “I want to eat grilled fish from Fairy Restaurant. Is that

okay?”

Dennis nodded, “Okay, you go change your clothes. I’ll go buy it now.”

Marie picked up her pajamas and walked into the bathroom. She took off her shirt and her underwear

was still stained with blood. Dennis just wiped her exposed skin and didn’t take off her clothes rashly.

She took off her clothes and threw them into the trash can. There were bruises all over her body. She

was pushed around by Dereon yesterday and hit a lot of bruises.

She wiped her body with a wet towel. There was a tube of ointment on the vanity table. After applying it

carefully, she changed into her pajamas and washed her face before walking out of the

room.

In the dining room, Dennis had already bought the grilled fish. He noticed that she was walking in a

rather awkward way.

Dennis lowered his head. There were large bruises and abrasions on her calf. Seeing his eyes, Marie

smiled and said, “It’s okay. It’s just a superficial injury. It’ll be healed in a couple of days.”

Dennis walked over with a sullen face, picked her up, and placed her on the chair in the dining room.

He stood up to get her the dishes, “I feel distressed too for a superficial injury.”

Without saying anything, Dennis served the meal and sat down to eat.

Suddenly, Marie asked, “Is Dereon… dead?”

Dennis said coldly, “He’s not dead. He’s in the hospital.”

Marie heaved a sigh of relief. The situation was critical at that time, and she had no choice but to kill

him. But if Dereon really died, she would be burdened with a human life again in this life.

Looking up at Dennis’s face, she asked, “What are you going to do with him?”

Dennis gave her a piece of fish, “Eat.”

She sighed. Dennis was not willing to tell her. Was he going to kill Dereon quietly?

‘Dennis, don’t do anything stupid. It’s not worth getting your hands dirty for that kind of scumbag.” Marie

was a little worried that Dennis really killed Dereon in a fit of anger.

Dennis looked up at her and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t.”

Get Borus

Only then did she lower her head to eat. As she ate, she suddenly remembered, “I haven’t been home

all day. What about Grandpa?”

Dennis said, “I asked Luca to tell Old Mr. Spence that I took you to France. We’ll leave after dinner and

be back in a few days when your injuries are healed.”

Marie nodded. As soon as she heard that she was going to France, her mind was a little numb,

buzzing, and her thoughts were in a mess. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

After dinner, Marie changed into a long skirt, and Dennis picked her up and went downstairs.

Marie could only accept it. It seemed that as long as she was injured, Dennis would think she

couldn’t walk and always hold her.

When they arrived at the airport, Cullen went to check them in. Marie asked, “Does Cullen have my

certificate?”

Dennis nodded. “Luca has given him all your documents and luggage. Don’t worry.”

It wasn’t until Marie got on the plane that she realized that she was going to France.

During the dozen-hour flight, she was lethargic. Then she felt cold as she fell asleep in a daze.

Dennis asked Cullen to get the blanket and cover her up. The girl huddled under the blanket and

slept in his arms obediently. Her eyelashes were clear, like a fairy.

The moment she woke up again, they arrived in France. When she woke up, it was time to get off the

plane. When she set foot on the land of France again, her mood was complicated.

She did not know who her parents were. As far as she could remember, she had been in the Rodger

Group. The relentless training had turned her into the most perfect knife in Seth’s hands. His

companionship over the years had given her a different feeling, but she did not know that Seth treated

her and Wren differently.

When she was on the verge of death, Wren’s words lingered in her ears like a curse.

According to Wren, she was just a pawn of Rodger Group, and she would be abandoned at any time.

Yeah, she was born to be a pawn.

“Marie?” Dennis patted her. “What’s wrong?”

Snapping back to her senses, Marie shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Cullen drove to the hotel. It was the same presidential suite with two bedrooms. Dennis carried Marie in

and put her on the sofa in the living room, and stroked her hair, “You play by yourself for a while, I’ll go

deal with things.”

Marie nodded obediently and sat in the living room reading a magazine. Not long after, the doorbell

rang.

The door of the study was closed, and Dennis and Cullen might not hear it. So, she stood up and

opened the door, stunned.
