Chapter 229

John was adamant that he had overheard something important as he looked at Cameron and said, “I won’t keep you any longer, Ms. Anderson.”

After Cameron and Rebecca left, John sat beside me and pestered me about the reason behind my two-month disappearance.

Miffed, I couldn’t be bothered to explain to him. Hence, I turned to Marcus and changed the topic. “Let’s order some takeaways and go home!”

Marcus nodded in response. Just as we were heading out of the restaurant, John blocked our path and asked, “Scarlet, what’s wrong with you? Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused us just to search for you? Someone even…”

“Mr. Stovall, if you really care about her, I’d advise you to stop pestering her. The hardships she had to go through are way tougher than what you can imagine,” said Marcus.

After grabbing the takeaways, Marcus held my hand and escorted me to the car as he saw that my face was getting pale.

“If you want to badger her to death, then be my guest.” Marcus took a glance at John who was still on our tail.

Ignoring him, John grabbed my hand. “I thought your illness has been cured. Why is it relapsing?” asked John.

He then turned his attention to Marcus and questioned in a cold tone, “What’s going on here? I thought she has fully recovered.”
