Chapter 50 Do You Want Me to Embarrass Myself Again?
Marion arrived early, and by the time she got there, it was already 9:30 am. The CT scan was quick,
and with it being so early, there were not many people around. Lucas took a number and pushed her
wheelchair over. There were only two people ahead of them.
She remembered that Lucas had mentioned a morning meeting. “Mr. Craig, you should go back to the
company. My father will come to the hospital to pick me up after the examination, and I’ll go home
then.”
“Go back to which home?” Lucas asked just as he received a call. He glanced at the caller ID but did
not answer immediately.
“My home,” she said awkwardly.
“Okay.” His expression became noticeably colder. “If there’s anything, call me.‘
With that, Lucas answered the call, and his entire demeanor changed as soon as he did.
“Well,” Marion began to say, but he turned and walked out, leaving the words “I’ll move in next week

Why did it feel like he was angry again? Turns out that maintaining the facade of a marriage was not as
easy as it seemed.
The hospital speaker was already calling Marion’s name, so she collected herself and wheeled herself

Although it was a workday, the hospital was still quite busy. Marion, alone in the wheelchair, found it
inconvenient to move around.
However, she glanced at her still bandaged legs and felt grateful that she had a wheelchair to sit in.
Even a gentle bump might have set her progress back by a month.
Marion squeezed into the elevator and went to the fourth floor to find her attending physician.
After reviewing her CT results, the doctor confirmed her recovery was progressing well, and the cast
could be removed. However, for complete recovery, it would still take at least another month and a
half.
For the next month and a half, Marion would not need the wheelchair but would have to rely on
crutches until she fully regained mobility. Upon leaving the examination room, she took out her phone,
intending to call Richard. Just as she pressed the dial button, Jameson appeared.
“Marion…”
Marion’s face immediately turned cold. She turned her head away and tried to ignore him.
Richard answered the phone promptly. Since Marion had not returned home the previous night,
Richard’s emotions were a mess. He wanted to ask about the events of the previous evening but

restrained himself. “Marion, what’s the matter?”
“Dad! I’ve finished my follow–up appointment. Can you ask Mr. Brody to pick me up?”
Richard was not pleased with that. “Didn’t Lucas accompany you to the appointment?”

“He did. He brought me here, but he had an early meeting this morning, and there was traffic on the

After Marion finished explaining, she tentatively asked, “Dad, so can you arrange for Mr. Brody to come
pick me up?”
“Of course, of course! I’ll have him get you right away!”
“That’s great! Don’t let me delay your work. I’ll be okay to wait for him!”
“Alright, Mar!”
After hanging up the phone, the smile on Marion’s face disappeared instantly. “Excuse me, please
move aside.”
As she spoke, Marion did not even glance at Jameson. Jameson would not yield.
Marion looked up and looked at him coldly. “Do you think that what happened a month ago was not
embarrassing enough for me? Do you want me to embarrass myself again, especially when there are
so many people around?”
Marion’s words were like a knife, cutting deep into Jameson. His stiffened, and he moved to the side,
giving way to Marion. Then he followed behind her.
When she noticed Jameson entering the elevator with her, the veins in Marion’s hand bulged as she
tightened her grip on her phone. He was shameless!
