<b>Chapter </b>178


    Merguate was lying in <b>a </b>makeshift infirmary, hooked up to a dop, and her head was <b>swimming</b>.


    Chuck was by side, and upon seeing her shic fetched <b>her </b><b>a </b>worm ss of water, Marguerite, do you feel any better?”


    Marguerite propped herself up on the <b>bed</b>, epting Chuck’s water and taking <b>a </b><b>few </b>sips, Tm alnight, when can I leave?”


    The doctor said this is thest drie, once it’s done, you can go


    Marguerite nodded, er eyes scanning the morn, Fredenck was nowhere to be seen


    That was for the best, the didn’t want to see him.


    She finished the water, offering Chuck a grateful look, “Thank you Chuck, I appreciate this. You can <b>leave </b>if you have other matters to attend to, I can manage on my own


    Marguerite, the person you should be thanking is not me, it’s Mr. Winston.”


    Chuck replied with a jovialugh, thinking back to what had transpired, he felt sahsfied and relieved


    Morguente looked surprised, and Chuck continued, “Marguerite, Mr. Winston loves you”


    Marguerite was silent.


    Everyone said Frederick loved her, Chuck, Sadie, even Robert


    But she couldn’t feel it, all the could feel was his resentment.


    “Chuck, could you stop saying things like that? I don’t know what I did to deserve everyone’s support, and I’m grateful, really. But you can’t force feelings. He doesn’t love me, and I don’t love him. If you guys keep ying matchmaker, it just create misunderstandings.”


    Like Frederick misunderstanding her earlier, thinking everyone was used by her


    She hadn’t done anything to deserve that


    Chuck shook his head hastily. “Marguerite, I’m not just saying this. When the doctor was cleaning your wounds, you were in so much pain you were delirious. To offer you some relief, Mr. Winston extended his arm for you to bit into. Do you know, your biting left arge teeth mark! But he bore it without <b>a </b>word. Marguente, would he do this if he didn’t have feelings for you?”


    Chuck look out his phone, revealing a photo to Marguente


    The image showed Fredenck’s sturdy arm


    His strong forearm was marked with a dense ning of teeth impressions, the indentations were deep, and the bloodstains were chilling


    Chuck had managed to take a secret photo earlier


    Marguerite was even more confused after seeing it.


    Frederick hated her with a passion, why would he let her bite his arm just to make her morefortable?


    Marguente’s finger clenched tightly, lifting her gaze to meet Chuck’s


    “If he truly has feelings for me like you <b>said</b>, why hasn’t hee home since returning to the manor?”


    Chuck sighed, resting both his hands on <b>his </b>knees.


    “Mr. Winston has been staying alone at Seaside Manor these past few days. After all, the baby in your belly isn’t his, Mr. Winston is upset about this, it’s not something he can get over casily


    But regardless of whether you acknowledge it or not, I can see that Mr. Winston cares about you. So Marguerite, make some time to visit him at Seaside Manor


    With that, Chuck scrawled down an address on a piece of paper, “This is the address of Seaside Manor. Mr. Winston’s routine hasn’t changed. You can visit him anytime”


    Marguente’s eyes fell on the address, and she fell silent.
