Chapter 7 How Long Can Marion Endure?
Marion walked over to Richard. When Richard noticed Jameson and Sally, his smile instantly faded. Marion tugged at his sleeve, “Dad, | want to go home.”
Richard lowered his head to look at his daughter, his eyes slightly moist, “Alright, alright, let’s go home. Dad will take you home!” Jameson, who originally wanted to catch up to them, looked at Sally, who was still apologizing and could only stop in his tracks. “Jameson, I’m
sorry, | know I’m a burden!”
Hearing her words, Jameson felt some resentment towards Marion, “It’s not your fault. She’s the one who went too far!” Depression is not what Sally wished for! Moreover, if it were not for Marion back then, Sally would not have become like this!
As memories flooded back, Jameson’s expression gradually darkened. Worried that Sally might have another breakdown, he decided not to mention Marion anymore, “You took an early morning flight. You must be tired. Let me take you back to the hotel for some rest.”novelbin
Sally looked at Jameson cautiously and nodded obediently, “Okay.” However, in the unseen corners of her face, a smug smile appeared. There was no hint of weakness or obedience.
Marion's release from the hospital should have been a joyous occasion, but encountering Sally and Jameson at the entrance made even Cassie feel ominous.
In recent days, due to concerns for Marion, Richard has already postponed quite a few matters in the company. After escorting Marion back home, he hurriedly returned to the company for a meeting.
Upon returning home, Marion asked Cassie for help in preparing a bath for her. During her month- long stay at the hospital, she had not had the chance to take a proper shower. And now, especially after the encounter with Sally, Marion felt the need to freshen up.
When Sally called, Marion had just fallen asleep. Even though she was out of the hospital, her body had not fully recovered, and the attending physician advised her to rest when possible. The intense vibrations of her phone made her think it was probably her assistant calling, and with a furrowed brow, she sat up and answered the phone.
Seeing the unfamiliar number, she could not help but scoff. She had a hunch that after being slapped by her, Sally would not just let it slide. Marion answered, “Sally, what do you want this time?”
On the other end, Sally feigned surprise, “Marion, how did you know it was me? | don’t have any ulterior motives; | just wanted to remind you. Tomorrow is the third anniversary of you and Jameson being together, right?”

even through the phone. It irritated Marion to no end. 1
It is impossible to say that Marion was not angry. During her stay in the hospital, especially at the beginning, the pain from the fractured ribs and leg kept her awake at night. Afraid that Cassie and Richard would worry, she could only bite her pillow and endure the pain night after night.
Those long and lonely nights were enough for her to see the reality. Sally’s words only brought anger to the forefront and no other emotions. In the past, Marion would have been hysterical, but now, she was incredibly calm. She even chuckled at Sally on the other end of the phone, “Honestly, Sally what kind of woman do you think | am? Do you think I'm so pathetic that I’d take anything you throw at me? Like Jameson is the only guy out there?”
“You can keep him. A man like that is not worth my time.‘
Marion hung up the phone. Sally was left breathless. She felt the left side of her face, slapped by Marion in the morning, becoming even more painful.
With a scream, Sally picked up her phone again and called Jameson. She wanted to see how long Marion could endure!
