章 168: Unknowingly saved herself

Pretending to know nothing was as easy as eating a piece of cake. But pretending not to be mortified? It took an entire lifetime of courage for Fil to stay with Marianne. Following the natural and usual course of action, Fil stayed with Marianne. 

Fil took care of her, tried to make her feel better, and simply spent time with her. 

"Thanks, Fil," Marianne held Fil's hand as she laid down while the latter sat on the edge of the bed. "I feel much better now that my best friend is here."

Fil sported a short smile. "You should rest more. You rarely get a day off, so it's best if you use this day to rest."

"Are you leaving?"

"I planned to." 

"Are you… going to hang out with Kim Rock?"

Marianne slightly frowned, keeping her eyes on her. "I see."
