The Beauty and the Brain

Chapter 211

Gavin sighed and said, “Old Mr. Spence had passed away, and Marie came to see you right after the

funeral. So many things happened over so many days, and I don’t know what’s happening in the

Spence family! I

heard that Old Mr. Spence had given all his shares to Noel, which was more than enough for the

people over

there to kick Marie out of the house!”

Dennis narrowed his eyes and commented coldly, “It’s not certain who will kick who out!”

Gavin frowned and replied, “Your injuries haven’t healed yet. If you go back so rashly, your body won’t

be able

to take it.”

Cullen also advised, “Mr. Whitney, it’s better to let your body heal first, then only return to New York. A

few

days won’t make a difference.”

Dennis nodded. Gavin glanced at him again and said, “It’s been two days. You don’t have any plans to

meet

Clayton?”

Dennis closed his eyes and answered, “Let’s talk about it later.”

Gavin sighed and left the ward with Cullen.

Dennis leaned against the hospital bed. It was not that he did not want to see Clayton, but he did not

know

how he should meet the latter. They were against each other on the matter of Marie. Even if Clayton

was

trying to protect him, the way the former treated Marie was too odious. She became very sensitive

emotionally recently. It would seem as if he thought of her injury as nothing if he hastily met Clayton,

That day, Marie did not go to Dennis’ ward anymore. She was doodling on how to explain those messy

things.

In the evening, the door of Marie’s ward was pushed open, and Dennis walked in. She was stunned for

a

second and asked, “Why are you here?”

Dennis replied with a hurtful expression, “Since you don’t come to see me, I’ll have to come to you

myself.”

Marie jumped out of bed and helped Dennie lie on the bed. She said, “Didn’t Gavin say you’re not

allowed to walk around? If you want to see me, just let Cullen inform me.”

Dennis laid down properly on Marie’s bed and leaned against the headboard, saying, “I don’t want

Cullen to

look for you. I hope you will come to me yourself. Marie, you’re avoiding me.”

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Marie lowered her head, stared at the floor, and retorted, “No, I’m not

avoiding

you…”

Dennis held Marie’s hand and asked, “Is there anything you want to tell me?”

Marie nestled in a chair then glanced at Dennis and nodded. She answered unflinchingly, “I’m Rose.”

Dennis beckoned. “I got it.”

Marie lowered her head and continued, “Don’t you have any questions for me?”

Dennis smiled and asked, “Was it you at the cyber cafe?”

Marie nodded. “Yes, it’s me,”

“Were you the one behind the collaboration confidential information leakage incident of Terry Group?”

Marie nodded again. “Yes.”

“What about the sniper in Witton Manor?”

“It’s me.”

“During the coastal warehouse cut-off operation, there was a sniper…”

“That was also me.”

Every time Dennis asked a question, Marie nodded, then lowered her head even more. In the end, she

almost

dropped her head to the ground.

Dennis chuckled and said, “Are you going to suffocate yourself by pressing your head against your

chest? But

you seem to have a flat chest…”

Marie was speechless. You’ve got a flat chest! Your whole family is flat-chested!

Dennis held Marie’s hand and expressed, “What are you afraid of? Didn’t you say awe-inspiringly at

the

stronghold that an international female assassin had retired from the underworld and fallen in love with

the

domineering CEO? Could it be I, the domineering CEO, disappoint you so much? Would I abandon you

if I

knew the truth?”

Marie raised her head, glimpsed at Dennis, shook her head, and responded, “No, I believe you. You Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

won’t

abandon me.”

Dennis smiled and asked, “Then tell me, what are you afraid of?”

“I’m… terrified that Rodger Group…” Marie hesitated and continued, “In the end, I must go back and

take revenge. I will also come face-to-face with Rodger Group. I’m afraid you will be in danger later on

if you get

involved…”

Marie peeked at Dennis’s face worriedly. She was fearful that he would be angry because of her

words.

Dennis stroked Marie’s hair and questioned, “Am I that weak in your heart?”

Marie lowered her head and shook her head vigorously. “No! I’m just petrified that you’ll get hurt.”

Dennis chuckled and responded, “It’s my honor to have you care about me, Ms. Spence.”

Marie looked up at Dennis and heaved a sigh of relief after seeing no trace of anger on his face.

Dennis gazed at Marie and querled, “There’s one thing I don’t understand. You’re Rose. Then how did

you become Marie Spence?”

Marie hesitated. He finally asked this question. Staring into Dennis’s eyes, Marie replied with a calm

face, “I….

should be considered as being reborn…”

It was Dennis’ turn to be dumbfounded. He looked at Marie in a daze and could not react to that

answer for a

while. For a moment, he almost felt that she was joking with him.

In Dennis’s perception, there was no such thing as rebirth at all. No one can avoid birth, old age,

sickness,

and death. That was the law of nature. If a person could die and come back to life again, the world

would be

in chaos.

Marie gritted her teeth. Since she had already said it, she had to finish her words even if she was

being

treated as a psycho.

“I’m Rose. I was killed. When I woke up, I was already Marie Spence in the hospital. She fell down the

stairs

and was unconscious. Maybe when the doctor gave the notice of critical condition, the real Marie

Spence

was already dead, right?” Marie finished speaking in one breath.

Dennis tightened his grip on Marie’s hand and said, “So, you’re Rose’s soul, but you’re living in Marie

Spence’s

body? Do you two really look the same?”

Marie nodded. “Yes, exactly the same.”

Dennis breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Marie into his arms. He stroked her soft long hair and

comforted

her as if comforting himself. He whispered, “Luckily, you’re still alive…”

Marie was astonished, so she asked, “What?”

Dennis hugged Marie and remarked, “No matter whose body you live in, at least you’re alive. It’s great

that I

met you.”

Marie’s eyes reddened instantly. She nestled in Dennis’ arms and asked, “Do you believe me? Don’t

you think. I’m a psycho or a freak who talks nonsense?”

Dennis smiled and replied, “Psycho? It just so happens that I’m not very normal too. Freak? Among

billions of

people, I only want you. I’m probably a freak too.”.

Tears rolled down Marie’s cheeks all of a sudden. She raised her hand, hugged Dennis, rubbed herself

against his arms, and commented, “What nonsense are you talking about…”

“I’m not talking nonsense. I’m pleasing you,” Dennis said good-naturedly.

Marie climbed onto the bed and leaned into Dennis’s arms. After finishing telling everything, she kept

babbling about her painful past, describing the brutal training, and narrating the death of her

companions.

Marie continued to tell how she escaped the jaws of death and survived over and over again, how she

was

tortured to death by Wren and thrown into the jungle of Brussels.

-Dennis cuddled Marle, kissed her hair, and comforted her gently, “It’s all in the past, it’s all in the

past…”

With her eyes closed, Marie lay quietly in Dennis’ arms. It was the first time she could finally tell

everything word by word after a long time since she was reborn. From now on, she no longer had to

live in fear, and she no longer had to be timid around Dennis, afraid that he would find out something in

the next second. That

man had entirely accepted her and fully understood her whole life.

Initially, Marie thought the conversation to solve the mystery of rebirth would be upsetting and

contradicting and would shock and panic Dennis. However, when he heard her talk about the rebirth,

he did not overreact.

as if he was saying the fish that day was delicious.

Dennis hugged Marie and only felt distressed and sorry for her.

My girl made an arduous journey, crossing the distance between two souls, and came to me. How can I

not

be contented?
