Chapter 414
Chapter 414 Remember to Call Me
“Hello?” Lucas called out over the phone, causing Marion's hand to tremble
slightly. She pursed her lips and said weakly, “I was on Ashen Road when a man
suddenly waved a traffic cone in my direction. I was worried about hitting him, so
I slowed down and stopped the car.”
She was a good citizen who followed traffic rules!
Lucas on the other end of the phone suddenly lowered his head. In those silent
seconds, Marion just stared at the screen.
Then she said tearily, “Please don't be angry, okay?”
He was not at home, so if he got angry, how could she comfort him?
Lucas raised his head and immediately noticed Marion's slightly reddened eyes.
He felt a tug at his heart. He almost reached out to touch her face but
remembered that they were on a
video call.
“I'm not angry.”
Marion finally breathed a sigh of relief at his words and the tears in her
eyes,
subsided.
“Are you crying?” he asked.
Marion took a breath. She was about to refute, but then she choked up with
tears. “If I said I'm not, would you believe me?”
It was just so tense!
“Next time you encounter such a situation, remember to call me,” Lucas said, his
voice tinged with
tenderness, without a hint of anger.
Marion felt relieved and nodded obediently. “I will.”
“It's late, go take a shower and rest early.”
“Mm-hmm.”
Marion nodded, already starting to yawn.
“Go on. Hang up.
She stared at the phone for a while then reluctantly ended the call.
As she yawned, she went to the wardrobe to get her pajamas.
Just as she entered the bathroom, her phone rang again.
Marion returned with her clothes and answered the can. It was Cassie. Suddenly,
she remembered
that she had not told Cassie that she had arrived at home!
Chapter 414 Remember to Call Me
Quickly answering the phone, Marion said, “I'm home, Cassie!”
Cassie paused momentarily, “Thank goodness you answered, or I would have
had to call the police.”
Marion grimaced, “I forgot to tell you! I just got off the phone with Lucas.
“Got it, got it. It's late now! Hang up and get some rest!”
“Goodnight, Cassie.”
“Goodnight, Marion!”
Hanging up the phone, Cassie looked at it for a while, feeling silly. Well, if she
was silly for worrying about her friend then so be it. At least she knew that Marion
was safe.
Cassie was a good best friend.
Marion finished showering and crawled into bed.
She sent Lucas a message but fell asleep before seeing his reply.
Perhaps because Lucas was not by her side, Marion slept uneasily.

Her voice was hoarse from just waking up.
There was no response from outside the room. Marion furrowed her brow and sat
up in bed.
Did she imagine hearing voices?
As the thought crossed her mind, Marion heard footsteps approaching.
