Chapter 132 How Did You Get Hurt?
When Lucas said those words, he was facing sideways, and as soon as he spoke, a mysterious
warmth crept over Marion’s face.
In the dim light, she gradually turned red, and her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.
She closed her eyes and silently repeated to herself, ‘Stay calm! Stay calm!’
Marion pinched herself. “Thank you,” she said genuinely.
Marion knew that Lucas’s presence that day was merely to support her. Their fake marital relationship
had to be maintained for public appearances, especially after the day’s incident.
While grateful for his help, Marion was also aware that it was just Lucas trying to assist her.
Realizing her thoughts were wandering, Marion felt even more self-conscious.
She avoided looking at Lucas and pretended to be engrossed in the performance on stage.
“This dance is really beautiful.”

Seeing that Marion did not engage in further conversation, Lucas withdrew his arm and glanced at the
stage. He had little interest in such ‘artistic performances’ and would not have been there if it
were not for Marion.
The charity performance was scheduled for 108 minutes, and only half an hour had passed.
Lucas’s enthusiasm waned, and his expression became more indifferent. The man beside Marion fell
silent, and the faint scent of wood occasionally wafted between them, making Marion feel heady.
However, her reverie was short-lived.
Suddenly, someone lifted her left hand.
The man’s hand effortlessly placed her hand in his palm, its warmth made Marion feel a sense of
longing.
But the longing lasted only for a moment.
When she realized what had happened, she tried to pull her hand back. She tugged unsuccessfully and
had no choice but to turn her head to Lucas. “Mr. Craig?”
He was examining her hand carefully, and with a serious expression, his thumb lightly traced a path
along the side of her index finger. “How did you get this injury?”
“Where?” Marion was surprised when she heard his question and instinctively looked at her hand.
Her hand was delicate and fair. Although the auditorium was dimly lit, Marion could immediately spot
the wound on the side of her index finger.

She was not sure when she had gotten the scratch, but it seemed to be bleeding. Despite that, she
figured it was not a deep cut, as the blood had already coagulated.

“Oh, I didn’t notice.” Marion quickly withdrew her hand and examined it herself. When she discovered
the small wound, it seemed to sting slightly when touched. It was not too painful, but any movement or
accidental touch made it uncomfortable.
Seeing her frown, Lucas hooked her hand back into his palm. “Does it hurt?”
“It’s not too bad.” Marion awkwardly smiled. If she had not noticed the injury, it probably would have
healed on its own, without notice, in a couple of days.
Lucas lightly brushed his fingertip over the wound, and casually asked, “I heard the staff pushed you,
and you stumbled?”
“Just a little.” Marion lifted her gaze and avoided direct eye contact with Lucas. Her ears suddenly felt
hot. “It’s not a big deal.”
“You should get it checked at the hospital.”
With that, he released her hand and stood up.
