Chapter 258 You’re Too Much, Mr. Craig
Lucas was right. Soon after, the family doctor arrived. Mrs. Bailey had just
finished cooking, and before Marion could sit down to eat, the doctor was already at the door.
Hearing the doorbell, Mrs. Bailey hurriedly turned off the stove and rushed to
open the door. “Madam, let me get the door. You stay put.”
She feared Marion might make a move, even though Marion had no intention to.
Soon enough, Mrs. Bailey led the doctor inside.
“Hello, Mrs. Craig. I’m John Stamos,” the doctor introduced himself.
“Hi.”
“Mr. Craig told me you bumped your left knee. Can you show me the injury?”
Marion rolled up her pant leg once again. The knee, which was already a mass of bruises, now looked
even more ominous and frighteningly discolored.
John put on gloves. “Mrs. Craig, could you please straighten your leg?”
Marion followed his instructions and stretched out her leg.

was painful, but with a spray of bruise–healing and anti–inflammatory medication, the pain would
subside in a day or two.
John sprayed some mist, but he did not prescribe any oral medication.
It was Marion’s first time experiencing the services of a family doctor, and she could not help but agree
with Cassie. Having money was indeed great!
The news of Lucas, who was away on business, making a special trip back to accompany Marion for
Valentine’s Day quickly spread within their social circle.
Some people envied them, while others were jealous.
Word reached Jameson, who had been reluctant to engage Ruby. After Patrick showed him
screenshots from Marion’s social media, the next day, Jameson contacted Ruby and agreed to their
engagement.
The Royces and Blacks quickly arranged a meeting, and the news of Jameson and Ruby’s
engagement circulated.
Cassie told Marion about it. [Believe it or not, that scheming Ruby will definitely. invite you to the
engagement party!]
However, Marion did not care much. [Do I have to go if she invites me? Who is she, anyway?]
Cassie replied. [Well, if you don’t go, those gossipmongers will have a field day!]
Marion thought for a moment. [Alright. Let’s see, then!]
They shall see whether Ruby dared to invite her!
A few days after Valentine’s Day was Kirk’s concert.
Marion started to feel nervous. Despite her injured leg, her hands were fine, and she had spent most
days in the music room. Two days before the concert, Lucas returned from his business trip.
The first thing he did upon returning was to check the condition of her knee. Marion’s face turned red
and warm as she sat on the couch, watching Lucas bend down.
The bruises on her knee had not completely faded yet. However, compared to the first day, it had
improved quite a bit. At least she could now walk without any hindrance. As long as there was no
pressure on it, there was no pain.

As she spoke, his thumb suddenly pressed down.
Marion, caught off guard, could not help but gasp. At that moment, Lucas lifted his head, looking at her.
“Really?”
Marion awkwardly replied, “It doesn’t hurt when you don’t touch it.”
“So, it still hurts.”
He withdrew his hand and lowered her pant leg.
For a moment, the atmosphere became awkward.
To ease the tension, Marion hesitantly said, “Mr. Craig, are you hungry? How about I cook you some
pasta?”
Lucas glanced at her and then at her knee. “I’m not hungry.”
Though he only said these two words, Marion sensed an unspoken message in his
eyes.
‘You’re too much, Mr. Craig!”
