The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

“Where are we going?” Marie asked weakly, letting Derrick pull her along.

“To the hospital, obviously,” he said. “You need to get checked out.”

“Hospital again? What, psychiatry this time?”

Derrick went quiet.

“I’m telling you now,” Marie muttered, “there’s nothing wrong with my head. I’m not throwing up because of stress.”

She knew her own mental state better than anyone.

Derrick sighed, half amused, half helpless. “Not psychiatry this time.”

He hadn’t realized before how good she was at holding grudges.

Then again, Sebastian really had it coming. The man was supposed to bring in a psychologist- but instead, he brought a psychiatrist. Ever since then, Marie had refused to set foot in a hospital again.

“Oh,” she said, sounding relieved for the first time.

Nobody liked being treated like a lunatic. Still, she couldn’t deny that she’d been under immense pressure lately.

Just thinking about it made her grind her teeth–Tessa.

That heartless brat hadn’t even sent a message from Victor’s side to let her know she was safe.

She’d thought Ashen Pact had kidnapped her–had gone crazy demanding they return her- and all that time Victor, the man she actually trusted, had played her for a fool.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

In the car, Derrick glanced at her pouting face and pinched her cheek affectionately. “What ar you thinking about, huh? You’ve been fuming this whole time.”

Still mad about the psychiatrist? If that was it, then after they saw the doctor, he was going to make sure Sebastian paid for it.

Derrick fell silent.
