Goodbye, My Love

Marco? Loraine, even we can see his genuine love for you. Reflect on it. Beyond work, he’s done so much for you. He’s a rational and level-headed man, yet he’s repeatedly gotten drunk over you, sacrificed business profits for you, and even Solar Company…”

Jimmie abruptly coughed and cut him off, “Loraine, we’re truly ignorant of what transpired between you and Marco, but you shouldn’t overlook his endeavors for you. Do you believe he pursued you for profit? Forget questioning if he harbors such a malicious intent, the operation robot that Mr. Torres needed was procured by Marco who contacted Sullivan.

Was that for commercial gain?”

Loraine’s heart fluttered, filled with complex emotions.

She was aware that Slater and Jimmie’s words held truth, but she couldn’t persuade herself to accept them.

If it were any other woman, she wouldn’t have overreacted so much, but the fear of Marco hurting her for Keely was overwhelming.

Loraine closed her eyes. At that moment, she desired nothing more than to eliminate the root of all chaos. She coldly stated, “Enough talk?

I’m leaving now. Please move.”

Slater instantly lost his cool. He sprang forward to halt her.

“Loraine, how can you be so cruel?”

Before Loraine could respond, a cold and stern rebuke echoed from behind her, “Slater, shut up!”

She wasn’t sure when he had arrived or whether he had overheard their entire conversation. All she noted was his damp hair, indicating he had been walking in the rain for some time, appearing fragile and isolated.

Suddenly, a wave of dizziness swept over her. She felt her strength draining, causing her to stagger.

Loraine had already started to feel a little unwell from getting drenched in the rain, but she didn’t anticipate that her emotional turmoil would exacerbate her weakness.

As dizziness took hold, her primary concern was the prospect of collapsing into the mud, which would be far from ideal..

Fortunately, she didn’t Land in the dirt but fell into a solid embrace instead.

The moment Marco saw Loraine faltering, he instinctively rushed to catch her, disregarding everything else.

Looking up at Marco’s anxious face, Loraine felt a wave of indignation wash over her. She bit her lips and attempted to stand. “Let go of me.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Marco’s frown deepened as he admonished her in a low tone, “Stay still.”

He then placed his hand on her forehead, his frown intensifying.

“You’re running a fever. I warned you not to get soaked in the rain.
