Chapter 49 Coward
Marion stiffened. She was frozen in place. She watched Lucas pull her hand down and then leaned in
to lift her. She felt off balance and quickly reached out to hook her fingers behind his neck.
The crisp scent of sandalwood almost enveloped her, and Marion could not help but move her fingers
that were entwined behind his neck. They had only met a few times, yet yesterday she had touched his
throat, and today she had touched his lips!
It was not until after breakfast when Lucas carried her into the car that Marion felt the heat in her
finders subside. She lowered her head, looked at her fingers, and then glanced at Lucas beside her.
Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she did not know how to start.
Should she say it was not intentional? ‘Forget it,‘ she thought to herself. ‘Let him think I did it on
purpose.‘
Marion did not expect her hands, which were skilled at playing the piano, to be adept at taking

pretended to be asleep.
The morning traffic was not great, and they happened to be driving during rush hour. The Bentley had
been stuck at the traffic light for almost seven minutes. Lucas was not known for his patience, but at
this moment, the man casually rested his hand on the steering wheel and tilted his head to look at
Marion.
The morning sunlight was warm and beautiful, casting its glow on Marion through the windshield. Her
fair face seemed to radiate light from every pore. The ear on the side of her cheek was tinged with a
rosy hue, highlighting her smooth, flawless neck.
Lucas glanced at Marion’s right hand and raised an eyebrow. He lifted his hand and touched his lips
with his fingertip. A hungry look came into his dark eyes.
If Marion were to open her eyes at that moment, she would see the unapologetic desire in those deep,
profound eyes.
Hmph, coward.
Lucas swallowed slightly, retracting his gaze, and drove forward with the flow of traffic. After a few
minutes of intermittent congestion, the traffic finally began to clear.
When the car stopped at the hospital entrance, Marion opened one eye. She was relieved to see that
they had reached the hospital. She could not endure any more traffic congestion. Her neck would
break! If only she had not chosen to pretend to sleep in such a position!
She was about to open both her eyes when the surrounding sandalwood fragrance enveloped her, and
the warmth from Lucas’s body made her face suddenly heat up. In the next moment, Marion felt a
pinch on her earlobe.
She shivered all over, and quickly opened her eyes. “Arre we there yet?”

Lucas looked at her. “Asleep?”
Marion felt guilty and sensed that Lucas seemed to have figured out that she was pretending to sleep.

She fumbled to release the seatbelt. Lucas observed her in silence. Then he opened the car door, got
out, and walked around to her side. Then he took down the wheelchair.
Marion had gotten out of the car by then. She saw him unfold the wheelchair and push it over to her.
Thank you.”

Lucas glanced at her. “You’re welcome.”
She sensed that Lucas was being cryptic for some reason, but she had no evidence. Marion sat in the
wheelchair, and Lucas pushed her into the hospital. Unable to resist, she touched her right earlobe,
which had been pinched earlier. The temperature was normal, but she could not shake the feeling that
her right earlobe was heated as if it had been burned.
