SWNOVELS Chapter 4
Chapter 4
When Daniel and Cassie arrived at Marion’s hospital room, Lucas was just leaving. Seeing this, Daniel followed Lucas out.
Many people were visiting the hospital at this time, and the elevator was crowded. It was not until they returned to the car that Daniel had the chance to speak to Lucas. “Mr. Craig, did you manage to talk to Miss Cartier?”
Lucas, who had just closed his eyes, opened them again. He lightly tapped the surface of the seat with his index finger and said, “Yes.”
“What do I need to prepare then?”
Daniel sighed inwardly, thinking that Marion was indeed straightforward. Just as he finished his thought, he heard Lucas’s voice from the backseat, “A wedding house.”
Daniel felt like he had probably misheard. He instinctively turned to look at Lucas. “Mr. Craig, did you just say ‘wedding house’?”
He was only thirty years old; his hearing and vision should not be failing him.
“Yes.” Lucas replied, closed his eyes again, and raised his left hand slightly, signaling the driver to start the car.
The car moved slowly, and Daniel retracted his gaze, pinching himself.
It hurt.
It was real!
What exactly did Marion say to Mr. Craig that would require him to prepare a marriage home? Daniel had been working with Lucas for so many years, so he knew that when Lucas mentioned a “wedding house,” it was not for Marion and Jameson. If it were for them, Lucas would have directly asked him to transfer a house to Marion.
Daniel was utterly confused.
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Cassie was surprised by Lucas’s appearance. Who exactly was Lucas? He was the heir to the Radiant Group, officially taking over as chairman five years ago. Even Richard, Marion’s father, might not be able to arrange a meeting with him. Today, he unexpectedly appeared in Marioni’s hospital room, making it hard for people not to speculate.
Cassie looked at Marion lying on the hospital bed and felt that her thoughts were uncalled for.
She had met Lucas fewer than three times. What could Lucas think of her?
Cassie collected her thoughts and then turned to look at Marion. “Marion, what was Mr. Craig doing here?”
“He is the one who hit me last night. He came to discuss compensation with me.”
Cassie nodded. “How did you respond?”
Marion shook her head as if just coming back to her senses. Before she could speak, a figure appeared at the door.
It was Jameson!
Before Marion could say anything, Cassie stood up to block his way. “Get out! We don’t need your pity!”
Jameson remained silent as he looked at Marion. He knew that Marion would ask him to stay.
Cassie did not budge and pushed him inch by inch out the door. Marion still had not uttered a word.
Richard, now clear-headed, saw Jameson and angrily approached him. He raised his hand and slapped Jameson across his face. “You have the nerve to come here? Get out! The Cartier family won’t lower ourselves to cling to your Royce family! Get lost!”
Jameson stood at the door of the hospital room, peering through the window. He could see Marion on the hospital bed, looking directly at him.
Marion stared at him, but her eyes, once full of affection, suddenly turned cold, devoid of any emotion.
Jameson furrowed his brow. He understood that Marion was genuinely angry this time.
