He Clings to Me Every Night - Chapter 636

Chapter 636: Chapter 636: Moth Flying into the Flame

Daniel Marshall’s fever spiked again, his continuous coughing more severe, his face turning a ghastly pale, looking as if he had lost weight, his overall condition worsened.

For dinner, he was only able to muster a few mouthfuls of porridge, all of which he threw up, his body resembled that of a feeble invalid.

The chief physician arrived, reminding Daniel Marshall repeatedly not to underestimate pneumonia. He urged him to comply with the treatment, to get proper rest, and abstain from checking out prematurely.

Daniel only nodded in response, for much of the time, he was staring blankly into space, his attention was utterly far from the hospital.

Seeing this, the chief physician sighed slightly, didn’t say much else, merely reminding Simon Howard to look after Chief Daniel Marshall meticulously.

Leaving things as they were is no solution, the boss certainly took a big blow today. He did so much for that woman who ungratefully not only verbally abused him, gave him a stern look but also thought too highly of herself. Simon really didn’t like her.

…

Simon also harboured significant resentment toward Olivia Jenkins, his rancour was quite deep.

Hesitating briefly, Simon headed for the bathroom, turned the faucet on, lowered his voice and called Adam Howard, “Think of something fast! Otherwise, you should come over and try persuading him. His body won’t be able to hang on any longer if things continue this way. He throws up whatever he eats, even water.”

Adam gave a bitter smile, “I am neither a god nor omnipotent. I’m helpless if he doesn’t heed his wife’s persuasions. Psychological ailments need psychological solutions, if it’s not his wife, nothing anyone else says would matter.”

“So, you’re allowing him to just mire in his despair like this?”

After thinking it through, Adam said, “How about this, you should go and invite Mrs. Jenkins to the hospital to see him tomorrow morning, that should work.”

Without a second thought, Simon replied, “Alright, I’ll go get her over tomorrow. I’m going all in as long Daniel agrees to follow his treatment and rest well.”

Grace Martinez’s eyes were spiritless and vacant, sitting with her back against the bed headboard, tightly wrapped in blankets. Yet, she still felt as though she was frozen from the inside out, engulfed with a chilly sensation.

Given her predicament today, she only had herself to blame.

Back when she was involved with James Marshall, she was aware that he was married. Her ulterior motive was to climb the social ladder, thinking that her wit and intelligence were enough to take control over this man.

She naively dreamed that she could replace James Marshall’s wife.

Little did she expect, her steady decline and greed would lead to her present catastrophic downfall.

Enduring the blow of multiple miscarriages, along with the harm it did to her body, she had rightfully earned such a fate!

All of a sudden, Grace Martinez laughed cynically.

While laughing, she collapsed into tears again.

That useless man never gave her the time of day, she was the only fool.

In the predicament she found herself now, Grace didn’t think she deserved any pity.

After a while, as if remembering something, Grace instantly stopped crying and wiped her tears with a few tissues.

She then picked up her phone to send a WeChat message to Grace Ziegler.

[I initially approached you because James Marshall ordered me to. He wanted to use you against Daniel Marshall, to stir discontent in Daniel’s family. Not only me, but several other people also noticed your ambition. They might use you like a chess piece, and they are not doing it out of goodwill to help you. You need to be smarter and guard yourself.]

[I apologize for the vile actions I took in the past and hope you take good care of yourself. I never told Daniel Marshall about your ill-intentions towards him. Therefore, I suggest you mend your ways as early as possible.]

[Take me as an example, heed my advice as someone who’s been there, don’t be arrogant, do not get involved with a married man. It’s akin to a moth flying into the flame, it’s a lethal pill of your own making.]

[Never fantasize about replacing another person’s wife. These are merely self-deceiving dreams.]
